With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Twelve)

Honestly most of this is rather cookie cutter. Azula is a very well explored character and thus not particularly interesting to get an overview of.
…interesting implications. Depending on the context of these events.
I'm pretty sure this is just Future-Paul who somehow ended up in Avatar.
It's literally just Aang who's a technical pacifist. And that's because he was raised in a temple up ontop of a mountain away from human contact.
Zuko, Sokka and Katara all gear up to straight-up murder dudes at one point or another.

mook.
Ehhh, Azula feels like a prop for OL to showcase his amazing people-healing skills on. She feels hollow.

At this point in her character arc, she kind of is hollow.

It's part of the established pattern. He doesn't know anything about the specific continuity he's in, just wider knowledge of the setting from other media.
That means the only meta knowledge he could have is from the shitty movie, which he may never have watched with all the reviews about how shitty it was.

She feels hollow to her, too. That's part of the problem.
And ninjaed by Jamie.
In other news I have just realised that there are only nine more episodes left until the end of year one. Nine until the Nabu encounter starts.
And I've got ideas for about three of them.

Does not have a custom title.
Make an episode about something utterly, utterly banal. Have a highly-complex, well-thought scheme by a competent supervillain with a believable motive....and have it be about halting the production of Thiamin tablets in order to create a stock shortfall that bankrupts a guy he dislikes.
Additionally, write a story in which a villain succeeds. It's about time for another of those.

To clarify. Three ideas for the episodes you need to fill that space with?
Three different ways the Nabu encounter could happen?
Three different sets of nine episodes to choose from?

I love the Break Them By Talking trope. (TVTropes warning, watch your clock!)
Ohhhh I've been looking forward to this.
• Paul goes to Marvel.
• Paul goes to Hogwarts (minus ring, plus Avarice-powered magic), and is frustrated by Wizard Logic.
• Paulphidian meets the Reapers.
• Paul the Orange rounds out the six Istari sent to Middle-Earth. The Valar he serves is distinctly serpentine.
• The Wizards of Unseen University perform the Rite of AshKente. The mouse is eaten by a snake partway through, and since this is a spell designed to summon Death, a personification of a conceptual force, they get the Ophidian. She promptly goes "Want Paul" and brings him along for the ride. Vimes is so done with the Wizards' shit.
• Paul goes to the world of the Bartimaeus Trilogy around the time that all the magicians get forced to summon demons into themselves. Paulphidian shows them what symbiosis really means.
• Paul (minus ring) goes to H.I.V.E. (the Higher Institute of Villainous Education), and finds himself a depressingly good student.
• Paul goes to the Mortal Engines-verse. His ring-powered engineering skills are in high demand... but he doesn't have a personal lantern.
• Paul goes to Warhammer. Slaanesh and Ophidian have a stareoff (desire versus desire?). A Commissar shouts about HERESY in the background. Paul is exasperated by the closest thing to advanced engineering in this world being 'say a prayer over it to appease the machine spirits'.
• The Dragonborn is trying to conquer Tamriel by shouting at things. Meanwhile, Paul is conquering Tamriel by buying it up piece by piece, because he's very good at knowing what people want and getting it for them.
• "Evil Twin" Paul has an orange ring, is just as good at controlling it as normal-Paul, but prioritises his own wants above all else. Of course, because he's a Paul, and is thus Dangerously Genre-Savvy, he's technically not a supervillain... he just happens to basically own the entire global market (it's amazing how many MNCs go out of business when you hire all their sweatshop workers away with actually decent wages and conditions yet still massively undercut their prices because you have five times the wealth of the entire Earth) and a nice little private island nation with 0% tax where all his businesses are based and where he takes full advantages of the opportunities offered by DC alien- and schizo-tech. All his employees are very happy working for him, and the world loves him because of all the advanced tech (e.g. medical, transport, clean power generation) he's released to the public instead of used to shoot at Superman.
• Paul goes to Camp Half-Blood, because they mistake him for being a teenager again and his orange-light soul technically sort of makes him a minor Avarice divinity by PJO metaphysics. Kronos gets his shit wrecked by Ophidian when he tries to take her Paul away. Eris laughs like a hyena in the background.
Ohhhh I've been looking forward to this.
• Paul goes to Marvel.
Paul joins the Avengers
Paul meets Deadpool (Or maybe... Deadpaul? That could only go horribly, horribly right.)
Paulphidian meets Thanos
Paul meets Galactus, who's actually pretty chill when you get past the whole 'eating planets' thing. Also, did you know that Bleed energy is literally infinite? Funny, that.

mook.
So, I was just reading Blood and Chaos because it was linked here. Mr Zoat, don't worry about 'being a copy of B&C,' just don't make everyone other than the protagonist ineffectual, don't use them to showcase your SI's traits, and don't be smug. Seriously, B&C was readable, but Gawd did it make me cringe. Powertripping SI who has the other characters wrapped around his fingers, giving out bad explanations and bluffs and having the other characters believing him. Bleh, I need to shower.

If you need ideas, have KF make some sort of breakthrough with his Alchemy?
Or spend an episode or two having OL saving the Slave-beast.

Why would anyone reference machine spirits in Warhammer? No, I imagine that the SI would spend his time clearing out Dwarf holds and brewing vast quantities of Halfling Hot Pot for Greenskin killing. Resolving huge chunks of the various Books of Grudges shouldn't be all that hard when he has effectively unlimited money.
Also, does anyone have the Hot Pot introductory story? I used to have it in an old White Dwarf and now I can't find it.

As it happens I'm about to sort through my old WDs and work out if I actually want to keep any of them, so if you or anyone else knows the approximate issue number I could have a look? Suspect it might be before my time though, my collection starts in about 2003?

Hahaha! Oh, well before that! The first White Dwarf I bought was 178, back in 1994. The Hot Pot was back in issue 150.

How would he get unlimited money in the Warhammer universe? The already have fairly easy space travel so they have likely already mined their asteroid belts.

Given the reference to Dwarf holds and the Book of Grudges, am pretty certain Zoat's talking about Fantasy which doesn't have easy space travel.

Oh, definitely. If the SI had the misfortune to find himself in the 40K universe, a think a quick trip to T'au is in order.
Just noticed the front page:
The Leprechauns have come up a time or two, he'd probably be a bit weirded out if he discovered them scanning for more Maltusian traces.
More about Rocket? Will she/won't she get Dannered or whatever? For that matter by now his willingness to enhance people he think won' abuse it may well be circulating the superhero community; maybe he'll be contacted by some non-metahuman heroes who would like a boost? Or some Amazons*? It's a little lopsided that Renegade is New Godding people right and left but OL hasn't been augmenting much of anyone. Mostly because they say "no, thank you" admittedly, but...
*Their reluctance to accept ring-made armor is actually justifiable, since as one of them said being reliant on one guy for their supplier has an obvious downside. But Dannering is permanent and thus lacks that problem.
That sounds like either a wrap-up on what happened to Captain Nazi, or something involving the Green Lanterns or Ion. Or both.
Hmmm.

So, things for Paul to do somewhere between now and July 7th.
He's had access to Amazo and the OMACs. Has he spent any time yet studying the mechanism behind their power copying abilities? That could be a good use of time. Especially if he could figure out how to make Wallace an Amazo/OMAC derived power suit that lets him use the Flash's full powers. It would be an excellent temporary measure until Wallace figures out what's possible with the alchemy behind it.
Edit: Speaking of Wallace, maybe Paul could also try to make him some sort of densely caloric substance (that tastes good). It would save Wallace a lot of hassle if one meal was enough to serve his caloric needs for a few hours.
