Actually, each heart charges the Black Central Battery by 0.01%, not 0.1%. It takes 10,000 hearts to reach 100%, at which point the Battery warps to Earth and Nekron can manifest.
The phrase "the misery of *knowing*" reminded me of Achlys the Greek goddess of misery that OL tried to heal.
And there's Melinoe the demi-goddess of nightmares and madness. For OL, knowing how "for want of a nail" could've turned him into a villain can easily fill him with doubt and make him question his desires/morality, which could count as a type of madness.
OL: "Did those rings didn't turn other-me evil? Or did they merely bring out what already existed inside of other-me?"
Melinoe: "Good grief, you have the most boring nightmares I've ever seen!"
OL: "Do you mind? I'm having an existential meltdown."
Melinoe:
Don't forget about Desire's twin sister Despair whose existence defines both sadness and hope.
Desire: "Back off, he's mine!"
Despair:
Did OL synch with Grayven?
Or does Grayven's divinity shield him from transdimenional shenanigans?
It could be funny if the telepathic goddess Lynne could sense OL synching with Grayven.
Meta-Lynne: "Hi, Other-Daddy! Bye, Other-Daddy!"
[later]
OL:
"I have a daughter?!?!"

Why would he do that? The other hims were right, and they had the numbers to back it up. In every incarnation except from the Black Lantern one he is a net positive to the world he ends up in.

That's a...surprisingly low number. Like, you could get more than that from most towns, and hundreds of times that from a big city. I guess heart theft is a pretty good power source. Renewable energy too. Paul should look into that!

Even so, my understanding is that it's not just extreme emotion, it's that you're only feeling one emotion. A combination of fear and rage won't do. It has to be pure fear or pure rage or pure love or whatever. Which makes it even harder to get what you need, and explains why Black Lanterns do so much emotional manipulation in their fights.
He got over the existential angst pleasantly quickly.
Interesting that he didn't mention the With This Ring Online version. Either to his friends or in his thoughts. Probably for the best. Too much self aware meta is rarely good for a story.
Nice to see his Britishness didn't suffer from the multiversal jaunt.
Avatar and KFP are good targets for a tech uplift. Even without a database he should be able to kick start the infrastructure for 21 century tech. Anything he doesn't personally know how to build/maintain/use an Orange Ring can figure out instructions for.
Assuming he has enough charge for it anyway. KFP might have some mystical doodad he can recharge from. Avatar… short of harvesting Spirits he is most likely out of luck. Or Blue.
Good on you, 'tis a money sink.
Movie is pretty good though.

To be fair, Red and Anti-Green were in reasonable enough settings - it was just their rings that sucked.
...*looks at upcoming slate again*
Huh. Wonder if Schwaab was listening to that exchange. I mean, Avatar being a "nice" setting is kind of questionable, and depends on where in the world he ends up, but it's still a significant step above where Blue or Indigo ended up.
I don't think OL Paul's dimensional tour included Grayven, those were just supplementary chapters, like usual.
Too many possibilities to tell really. Guesses have included Batman Beyond/batman of the Future, Captain Planet, and others. But considering Zoat's tendency to have Episode titles parody canon titles, it could be any setting with an episode/storyarc entitled 'Light up Your Life'.
No Blue is the Crime Syndicate.
There's a Orange Lantern, dumped into a JL based timeline where he couldn't figure out where to obtain a Lantern/powersource, so he did a bunch of asteroid mining and used the gold/platinum/etc to set himself up as a business tycoon. The slowly depleting Ring saved for emergencies. (and possibly blueprints/tech ideas)

Babylon 5 CCG is alive again after 10-11 years and Hearthstone is a good contender to take over Angry Birds in sales.
Keep the comedic sociopathy to a minimum, don't be a rage monster, don't refer to your formerly living self as "father", and don't go all !Science! over everything?
That said, Blood and Chaos is pretty damned awesome...

For some more clarification on Blight watch this.
He's basically a Lex Lutherish corrupt corporate businessman with radiation based powers, like a smarter, more badass version of atomic skull.

I mean, I get what you're saying and all, and Blight does sound pretty cool, but being smarter than Atomic Skull is not much of an accomplishment.

I just made my SV account so that I could chime in to say that I am perfectly okay with reading snippets of Ambush Bug induced "Blood and Chaos: Paulantern Edition"
Jack's participation being optional.
Also. Given that one of Jack's defining features include his bizarre FAMILY LOGIC... I could see Paul's lacking that making the story go drastically different.
One of the dimension hopping Omake Ideas I had for B&C was the Winters crew arriving in NYC, looking up, seeing the giant cake bowl and then Jack dragging the others back towards the portal shouting "nope, nope, nope!" until Paulphidian noticed them and they have a little existential crisis upon realizing that they both remembered reading each other's stories.

If there isn't a Paul-50 (or if there is, then because he didn't meet Paul-50), then the rule could be "you can't have out-of-context knowledge of any setting whose Paul your timeline interacts with."
So the question is, did Paul-16 have setting knowledge about Crime Syndicate before he saw things from Blue's perspective?

Jack encountering my Black Lantern alter ego early on would result in Jack killing him and taking his ring. Even a bit later, Jack ramps up a lot faster than he would.
I hadn't watched Crisis on Two Earths before I started writing this. He was aware that the Syndicate is a thing in DC but didn't know the particulars of the Earth -14 version.

well you could have him kinda sorta work with the scoobies. He needs whatever he's killing to be experiencing a single strong emotion when they die, and humans complex enough that doing that is hard, but most things that eat them are much simpler. So he ends up mostly killing demons, and from there he decides the support of other demon hunters is worth hunting monsters exclusively.

That's evidence consistent with my hypothesis, although the Doylist reason is a coincidence.

His first thought would be to phone home. Remember, he's shorn of his memories of BtVS and on the face of it has no real to stick around. Then you've got the fact that he can't feel emotion any longer. He wouldn't feel the sort of satisfaction Vampires do in violence, but he wouldn't feel horror or disgust either.
Might be interesting if he prompts them to look into soul restoral spells earlier. I imagine that if he stabilises enough, he might get shipped to Cleveland. Maybe with the Inca Mummy Girl as a second?
