The "Almost" raises my hopes, yet the "Certainly Not" diminishes them severely.
May I ask why?

Mad Scientists use them for fun. And because they are easy to label with on and off and big enough so experiments can use them too.
"Is traditional and also fun. You have no idea how lame is to turn on your creation for the first time with just a regular switch. Cackling is optional but recommended."
I don't know what they're called either, but the general idea is that a really big switch lets you handle really high amounts of power (as you say) where a smaller switch would burn out or weld itself together, and the knife-style design gives you a robust mechanical disconnect that isn't going to hold itself closed by things like induced magnetic fields.They're still used for some high power stuff apparently.
I know I've seen some modified versions with springs, padlocks and bakelite insulation in metal fabrication shops but I can't remember what they're called.
But they are still going there, which means them going there is in the book of Destiny.They would never have gone to Thanagar without Paul giving them the idea. Having them stay there is also his idea. While he may not be directly acting, he is still changing their futures by affecting their choices. In a world without Paul, the world Destiny's book is written about, they never would have gone to Thanagar, so that may be enough to stop him.

I don't really have an angle on the character.The "Almost" raises my hopes, yet the "Certainly Not" diminishes them severely.

Yes... That is exactly the way the Book of Destiny is shown to work with someone not in it.Sorry, I don't really have any other words for that other than a really stupid argument. You're basically saying that the only affect that OL not being in the book of destiny has would be someone taking some white out and blotting out his name. If it's still accurate to the point that it can account for such direct actions of OL on someone else then OL is, de facto, included in the book of Destiny which we know is not the case. Any idiot would be able to follow the OL shaped silhouette left in the book of destiny to predict his actions.
Besides a recommendation that you read the comics they're mainly featured in, it shouldn't be THAT hard to get an angle.
Ninety degrees at every intersection.
Thinking practically... he already sort of is powered by ambient hope - that's what "good vibes" seems closest to. Though how everyone on the street has the money / produce to feed themselves without leaving the street doesn't quite make sense, unless he somehow manages to get tourism, when he usually seems to stay out of cities. Problem is, he's a bit unwieldy, and unless there's some way to create a street - sized airship, and ensure magic works on it - since he seems to need magic, or at least living people feeling hopeful on him, he can't fly like a normal lantern, and his teleportation seems to only work on Earth.Besides a recommendation that you read the comics they're mainly featured in, it shouldn't be THAT hard to get an angle.
They're an upbeat, flamboyant Genius Loci who HAPPILY serves a home and haven for the strange and dispossessed, is sustained and strengthened by "positive vibes", communicates through with "his" residents via such means as signs in windows, type-written messages, letters formed out of manhole vapors, broken glass shards, etc, etc, and can teleport anywhere in the world.
Frankly, seeing as the Orange and Green Lantern Corp have their OWN Genius Loci, I think Alan could definitely use a partner in HIS part of the emotional spectrum....
I believe Danny makes most of everything himself, matter-replicator style.Though how everyone on the street has the money / produce to feed themselves without leaving the street doesn't quite make sense, unless he somehow manages to get tourism, when he usually seems to stay out of cities.
He can actually grow in strength, ability, and size over time, even becoming "Danny The World" possibly!Problem is, he's a bit unwieldy, and unless there's some way to create a street - sized airship, and ensure magic works on it - since he seems to need magic, or at least living people feeling hopeful on him, he can't fly like a normal lantern, and his teleportation seems to only work on Earth.
Keep in mind that Mr Zoat hates actual reality warpers.Besides a recommendation that you read the comics they're mainly featured in, it shouldn't be THAT hard to get an angle.

Gods and angels don't count?Keep in mind that Mr Zoat hates actual reality warpers.
No matter how cool they are.
In DC gods just use magic, and Zoat quite literally re-wrote everything about the Silver City outside of character names and a couple minor plot details so they wouldn't count.
From description of the new episode of doom patrol, I heard he was flamboyantly homosexual. Is this the case in the comics?In DC gods just use magic, and Zoat quite literally re-wrote everything about the Silver City outside of character names and a couple minor plot details so they wouldn't count.
And honestly, given the problem Zoat had with doing Dial H for Hero, I am not sure he could handle Danny the Street without things turning bad in thread.
Thank you, corrected.
Danny the Street is Danny the Street.From description of the new episode of doom patrol, I heard he was flamboyantly homosexual. Is this the case in the comics?
Danny can do a lot more then that...As for power - he's a limited reality warper - he can move objects inside himself, grow, and teleport. And that's about it. He can't necessarily just make someone disappear if they're protected from magic and not in his range. So a fight against him would be hard, but winnable at long range - which is the main problem Zoat has with strong reality warpers .
Given the race in questions ubiquitous use of Nth metal there's no way short of author fiat that your ring would realistically be able to access their databanks.I'm rather looking forward to learning about an alien culture from the aliens themselves. You just can't learn how a people see themselves or how they want to be seen by pillaging a database.

Extraneous words, or the sentence got mangled by editing......and six-armed humanoid Polarian- won't sure to step in if they try...
When all you have is a giant spacefleet...but if superhero-Earth has taught me anything it's that powerful people are prone to very… Limited thinking.
...Everything looks like a threat. Also, OL can probably hold them off long enough for backup to arrive...

In other words, shown all the pretty stuff while anything undesirable is swept under the rug...In any case, negotiations will not begin until tomorrow. You are to be taken on a cultural junket first."

Or assuming things from your extra-dimensional knowledge...I'm rather looking forward to learning about an alien culture from the aliens themselves. You just can't learn how a people see themselves or how they want to be seen by pillaging a database.
The crisis will be set in streetworld - when all the Dannys combine, they form... a world / galaxy. Also, Zoat seems to be fine with teleportation between realms. Danny 16 could be limited to that, or just limited to teleportation on Earth. Dimensional teleportation is not an essential part of his character. Though if he has 6th dimensional teleportation (realities), he might have 4th (time). Or you could maybe just let him send people to other versions of himself in other dimensions, which might exclude Paul's Earth Prime.I'm not an expert on Doom Patrol, mind you, but the characterization I remember is that Danny the Street is a crossdressing street, demonstrated by a lot of stereotypically "manly" buildings with stereotypically "girlish" decorations. So things like Cigar shops or hunting equipment places decorated with lots of pink ribbons and bows, stuff like that.
I don't recall him ever being sexual or romantic in any of the Doom Patrol comics I've read, but again, I'm not an expert, so it's possible he's had a girlfriend or a boyfriend or whatever in issues I didn't read.
Something to point out though- his teleportation is crossdimensional. He and Robotman rescued Crazy Jane from an insane asylum in what is apparently Earth Prime, for example.
Which would be a good reason to limit Danny the Street's involvement, the fact he could give Paul a ride home whenever Paul felt up to it.
Or be the cause for Crisis of the Infinite Pauls!
Given the race in questions ubiquitous use of Nth metal there's no way short of author fiat that your ring would realistically be able to access their databanks.
It's Thanagar - everything is Nth Metal. Not sure what the problem is though. Paul can manipulate Nth Metal like normal (by lifting it) (I think, not sure), though not forge it, and computer security still have to be made by people, not inherently magical. The signals they release aren't using Nth Metal. Any network he sees should also be hackable mundanely, so using the ring isn't a problem. Use the ring to copy books on hacking, then hack like a normal person on their probably not metallic keyboards.

...The next chapter should be entertaining, if only for the initial meeting with the ambassador. Unless Mr Zoat plans to spend the entire part on the flight down (quite likely.)
If you had a near magic metal that could be both a perfect conductor and a perfect resistor tell me you wouldn't make your computers chips out of it?
