RP Sample:
Ian watched as Killawog, his trainer, once again kicked his way through one of his barricades and began making his way towards him. Ian heard him say something, something about him being a poozer and that he wasn't worthy of wearing Hal's ring at all but Ian couldn't quite give up just yet. Even as the self doubt begin to gnaw its way at his willpower, the young man rose to his feet, gasping for breathe and looked the behemoth right in the face: "If you have your doubts Killawog, let me dispel them for you!" Of course it was all hot air and bluster but what else could Ian possibly do in order to combat Killawog? The training instructor was experienced, strong and grieving for a friend who's Legacy just didn't seem to match up to the man who came before it and then there was Ian...

Ian who didn't believe, Ian who had no faith. Even after the Guardians said that the ring never made a mistake; he still argued and tried to make them take it back. There was no way he was fit to be a hero, he knew that and Killawog was showing every just how unfit Ian really was. He just kept coming. He never stopped, he never rested and he never relented, not seeing Ian but only a person not worthy enough for the ring they wore. Hal was one of the greatest Green Lanterns to ever live, Ian had pretty much seen that as soon as the ring put itself on his finger. But he couldn't give up. For some reason something drove him to be better, maybe it as the ring, who knew? But as Killawog approached, Ian pointed his ring at him and watched as the Green Light of will leap from it and began twisting and turning to form more constructs he hoped would put an end to Killawog's advance.

"You're just not good enough poozer," Killawog stated taking huge bulking steps towards Ian as the energy continued to twist and turn "Your constructs are feeble, you're not Hal and you never will be, how about you just take off that ring and go home. Do us all a favour." It was at times like this Ian wished his ring didn't have a universal translator, he could do without knowing what Killawog was saying right about now because all it did was fuel the fire of Ian's self doubt, which was threatening to totally engulf his will and leave him powerless. He could already feel the ring becoming somewhat unresponsive, the energy it admitted cracked and buckling under the weight of Ian's feelings of inferiority but no matter what he couldn't give up: Killawog was still coming. He wasn't about to stop because Ian felt a little sorry for himself. So, he had to do something, he held on to his arm as it began to shake under the pressure of trying to make the will energy do as it was told, he was losing his grip. He was having to think harder concentrate more. Problem being that Ian was torn between his current predicament and his feelings of inadequacy. There was no way he could keep it up...

"Stop it!"
"Stop what Poozer, stop telling you to give up!"
"DAMN STRAIGHT!"

Ian's construct finally took the form of a ballista he'd often seen in the Dynasty Warriors franchise of games. It was crank operated with a rotating cross section and the barrel was actually a dragon's head. As he turned the crank, tonnes of arrows seemed to flood out of the dragon's mouth and towards Killawog, catching the massive brute in the cest and pushing him back somewhat. Ian smiled at himself. This one, unlike his other constructs thus far was quite strong, he had no idea why but it was. Was it because it was closer to what he did as a Video Game Designer? Even Killawog seemed somewhat surprised that his movement had been impeded. "Just a lucky break poozer..." Ian took no notice, instead just smirking to himself as he turned the ballista's crank once again and unleashing another volley of arrows towards Killawog. But Ian's attack was easily thwarted as Killawog simply put his ring in front of him and unleashed a sickening boom that almost made Ian lose his lunch. His whole body felt like it was shaking and the boom didn't stop at the volley of arrow, it traveled along carving up the ground in its wake, shattering Ian's own construct and sending him flying across the floor. It hurt, he could hardly move as Killawog picked him up and finally decided that this was over.

But Killawog also went too far...

Ian watched as Killawog's hand reached towards Jordan's Power Ring and attempted to take it from the young lad's hand. Instead, Ian's eyes narrowed with a rage unlike anything he'd ever felt; Hal's ring had chosen him for a reason, for some sort of purpose and it wasn't for Killawog or the Guardians to decide. The ring decided, willpower decided and Ian's willpower was about to give everyone the shock of their lives as he accompanied it with pure rage. He could almost hear it, the boiling of his own blood as his own green willpower smashed its way from Killawog's restraints and propelled him high into the air. "That's mine Killawog." Ian growled holding the ring out and pointing it towards his combat instructor "And you're about to see why!"

The first thing that came to mind was his degree, computer coding, or at least the coding styles used in videogames and soon, this code danced in the air wrapping and interlocking with other segments of strange code in the most dazzling of emerald. Ian had no idea how it happened but his will had taken on its own characteristics like Killawog's Sonic Booms but instead made his constructs by translating computer code into his constructs. You could see the coding ripple and flash within the whole construct before Ian slipped the large knuckle dusters onto his hands.

Killawog laughed, thinking that Ian must've had a death wish to try and take him on in a melee brawl. constructing a hammer, the instructor launched itself at Ian and his eyes narrowed too but not with anger like Ian's had but with surprise as Ian finally revealed what it was the strange looking contraptions on his arm did.

On closer inspection, one would realize that Ian's apparent "knuckle dusters" weren't like knuckle dusters at all; unlike normal knuckle dusters that you threaded your fingers through, Ian's were different. He cgripped tightly onto a bar in the middle of the knuckle duster's framing and said framing also extended onto his forearm before bracing itself with a sort of clasp on both his wrist and just before his elbow. They allowed him to bend his arm and were obviously melee weapons as their edges were blunt. However, Ian did not rush forward to meet Killawog and his hammer in the air. He instead, stood firm, pointing the contraption towards Killawog and before punching the air smiled to himself. The large square portion of the contraption that covered the knuckles and were in fact the dusters, launched themselves towards Killawog on a green limitless cable, that Ian constructed as it flew through the air. It hit the other Lantern like a train and he rolled across the floor. Ian simply recalled the knuckle duster, snapping in back into the frame and staring at Killawog on the ground.

"I'm the Green Lantern of Earth. Fear my power."



Are you a fan of the series, are you familiar with this character?
I do love DC, hence why I made a guild about it.

Do you promise to be as active as possible if we grant you this privilege?
I'll try, as a captain I kind of have to be. biggrin

Cherished Items:
○ Hal's Power Ring: After learning about Hal and all e'd been through from the ring; Ian became quite attatched to it and admired Hal for his bravery. Knowing it is all that there is left of such a great hero, Ian will defend it with his life.

Philosophical/ Social Viewpoint:
Ian is very much a believer in the fact that Void Earth needs heroes, even though he wouldn't have chosen himself as one. However, he believes that if he can set an example to the people; they might follow him into brighter days and in doing so one day not need heroes of a god-like caliber.

Religious Viewpoint:
Ian hates religion and superstition alike due to their contradicting natures and restraining doctrines. Although, it has become harder for him not to believe in the concept of destiny after Hal's ring chose him.

Romantic Viewpoint:
In terms of Romance, Ian believes that the love of his life is out there somewhere but whilst he is a Green Lantern, it is too dangerous for them to be together.

Personality
Ian is definitely the kind of superhero whom has two very different personas when in and out of the mask. As Ian Wickes he is mild mannered, attentive, kind and the kind of person who is popular but not too popular thanks to these traits. He is very likable. But even in his day to day life Ian's inferiority complex drives him towards spectacular achievement, his fear of failure sometimes ruling his life as he will forgo social interaction to study or to make sure he is ready for his next challenge as a Lantern. Ian has been shown to be somewhat of a perfectionist, often resulting in him taking complete control of projects from planning to execution.

However, as Green Lantern, Ian takes on a few newer traits that many wouldn't associate with him such as a new level of confidence and a knack for diplomacy that is possible for him in his everyday life but he often represses in order to lead a quieter easy life. He often makes wise cracks, tries his hardest and has an almost never give up attitude. Whilst a Green Lantern though, Ian's Inferiority complex has caused him to become somewhat dangerous either causing his ring to fail due to fear or resulting in explosive fits of rage.

Even though these two personalities seem to be so different they are beginning to overlap and mold into one overall personality each side taking on traits of the other when needs be such as Ian having confidence in his study or the Green Lantern showing humility in his powers.

Biography
Born and bred in Coast City, Ian and his family were lucky enough to survive the city's destruction at the hands of Mongul. Although only young, the event had a tremendous effect on the rest of Ian's life. He tried his hardest at school, tried his hardest to make friends to replace the ones he had lost and even tried his hardest to learn about what had happened and how to prevent it but after his parents moved him to Metropolis, it didn't seem to matter anymore and Ian began to lead what seemed to be a normal life.

Ian went to school and made friends in Metroplois but secretly always longed for Coast City to one day return and be able to call it home; so, when Hal Jordan's appearance began making certain parts of Coast City reappear, it was needless to say that it filled Ian with hope. However, it didn't just fill the son with hope that they could one day return to coast city, for Ian's Father who was an engineer also took this as a sign to maybe consider rebuilding Coast City to and beyond its former glory. He enlisted the help of an old architect friend, John Stewart, to help him begin the project and once it was government approved; Wickes and Stewart began recruiting like minded people including Ian, Destruction survivors and Coast City sympathizers in order to get the job done.

Ian learnt a lot from his time helping his Father and John, a natural artist, Ian pretty much cultivated his talents as he helped designed some of the new buildings and areas of Coast City. He continued to go to school between helping his Father and his own social life and was a pretty mediocre student, flying under the radar in order to give himself an easy life. He excelled academically, eventually earning a place at University where his Father thought that he was going to study Engineering after the aptitude he had shown for the field during his time helping in Coast City's reconstruction. However, both Stewart and Wickes were shocked when Ian announced that he was actually going to Metropolis University to study Video Games Design, a passion of his since he was young and how he'd initially developed his drawing skills. Although slightly disappointed about the fact his son wasn't following in his footsteps, Wickes was happy that his son was becoming a man and making his own way in the world; he gave Ian his blessing and the two moved Ian to Metropolis.

His first year at University went by without any real incident, save for meeting an old friend, Skylar Evans whom coincidentally went to the same University. The two were somewhat inseparable, becoming best friends and at times lovers. The relationship continued in the same on off fashion for the next two years; it was just after he'd refused a drunk Skylar that Ian inherited his Legacy from Hal Jordan...

Making their way home in Ian's car, the two lovers had been at a party and whilst Ian was driving, Skye tried to make a pass at him; rebutting her because she was drunk, the two fought and they spent the rest of the journey in silence, it wasn't until Ian eventually dropped Skylar off at her parents house on the outskirts of Metropolis that she decided to speak to him again or rather shout at him. Waking up her parents, Skylar was taken inside and Ian left, feeling rather bad about the situation and drove through the night towards Coast City instead of going back to his University accommodation.

Meanwhile, Hal Jordan was busy fighting Sinestro in Metropolis alongside Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardener and Ian's family friend, John Stewart. Superman's disappearance had left Metropolis defenseless and very susceptible to the yellow flame of fear. Sinestro hoped that among the residents of Metropolis there might be a human with the capabilities of Jordan and so, he began recruiting more and more of the Metropolis populace to his Sinestro Corps. The four Green Lanterns on the scene were soon overwhelmed by the pure amount of humans turning yellow that they began to retreat but soon, the unthinkable happened.

Guy Gardener faded from existence.

The three remaining Green Lanterns realized it was now their turn to disappear; as many of their friends had done in the last couple of months. Determined to go down in a blaze of green glory, Hal rallied the others behind him into one last head on assault. John disappeared soon after they engaged the Yellow Ring bearers. With Kyle fading fast, Hal was soon alone. It was around this time that Batman's Legacy Initiative kicked in; creating a small anomaly at this moment in time and giving Hal a few more seconds to program his ring to select a new wielder. The ring zoomed off, leaving Hal to disappear.

Ian was still driving back to Coast City, rather tired but glad he was going to make it before the morning. Switching on the radio, he was shocked by what was transpiring in metropolis and was torn between continuing home, or turning round and finding Skylar. In the end, he chose to turn back and save Skylar. He phoned her as he made his way back, once again earning her wrath as she began shouting at him. Hal's ring responded to this brave choice and began to seek out Ian and when it did, crashed into his car and folded it like an origami. The last thing Skylar remembers hearing was the sounded of a car crash, Ian heard her scream but soon realized that he was no longer in his car.

Floating, glowing green, wearing a strange ring and also now in a strange Uniform with a familiar symbol; Ian emerged unscathed from the car crash and admired himself. He had been selected to be the new Green Lantern of Earth. As programmed, the ring took him to Oa to be seen by the Guardians and at first they disapproved of Ian even going as far to negotiate with the governments of Earth to work in a sort of unison to bring criminals too dangerous for Earth to Oa whilst Ian trained. It didn't fill Ian with any confidence as the Guardians threw him straight in with Killawog; Hal Jordan's best friend.

Killawog, like the rest of the corps, gave Ian a hard time because of the ring he wore. Hal Jordan brought about polar opposites in opinion and people were concerned that Joprdan's ring may have found someone like him as a replacement: Someone with the power of greatness as Jordan had but also the potential to abuse said power. Killawog tried everything he could to get Ian to quit the Corps even using mental torture to play on Ian's own insecruties but after his training was complete even the Guardians had to respect Ian's willpower. Killawog allowed Ian to go on duty and he returned to Earth as its only current Green Lantern.

Determined to do well by the world, as well as pass his college degree; Ian set about fighting crime all over the world.

[Weapon Information]

○ Green Lantern Ring: A Green Lantern Ring, also known as a Power Ring, is a piece of jewelry that grants the wearer incredible and incomprehensible powers and abilities by harnessing willpower. They are considered by some to be the most powerful weapons in the known universe. Depending on the skill and willpower of the wearer, it can do almost anything. The first Green Lantern Ring on Earth in modern times was crafted and worn by Alan Scott and powered by the mystical Starheart. His proved to be the exception, the by-product of the efforts of the Guardians of the Universe to contain the magic of the universe. The Guardians also created the more widespread version, powered by individual Green Lantern Power Batteries through a connection to the Central Power Battery on Oa. With the exception of the ring worn by Alan Scott, the current rings are based on the one given to Kyle Rayner when he was the only Green Lantern in existence.

○ Green Lantern Power Battery: Power Batteries are constantly charged by the Central Power Battery to manually fuel about 7200 individual Green Lantern Rings. With few exceptions the Power Ring is limited to a 24 hour charge and must be recharged in the Power Battery on a daily basis.

[Ability Information]

○ Bright Green Energy Conduit: The rings use pure energy supplied by a Power Battery, which in most cases takes the form of bright green light. This energy is the green light of willpower of the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum. Rot Lop Fan, from a race without eyes, perceives it as the sound "F-Sharp" and his 'ring' is actually a bell. A Green Lantern's ring, considered by some to be one of the most powerful weapons in the known universe, has the ability to affect and use fundamental forces of the known universe, including electromagnetic energies such as gravity, radiation, heat, light, and powerful blasts of concussive force. It is also theorized that the ring also has a basis in other dimensional energies commonly called magic by users of such energies. The ring can also create fields of force formed from an unknown energy that is bound by the users' will. The limitations of such use are the skill, knowledge and imagination of the user.

○ Energy Projection: The ring can be used to fire blasts of Oan energy or create weapons such as projectiles of them. The ring can project beams of force powered by the will of the user. The ring can be used to produce kryptonite and kryptonite radiation. Kyle generally used fanciful constructs in the shape of advanced technology. Their appearance does not indicate the power of the weapon. The weapon's power is more an indication of the will of the user. Certain users (i.e. Hal Jordan) have been powerful enough to stagger even Superman. If the user wishes, they can alter the form of the blasts such as Kilowog's "booms."

○ Force Field: The ring can create various force fields of various sizes and shapes to protect the wearer and others around him. With the cosmic scope of a Green Lantern's duties, it is only natural that the power ring is designed for operation in space. The ring creates a force field around the wearer, protecting him/her/it from the hazards of the void including filtration of stellar radiation and microscopic particulate matter which would ordinarily be fatal should the space debris strike the ring wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the ring wielder's biology is created inside the force-field while body temperature is maintained and waste products are removed. Gravitational stresses which could cause injury are stabilized for the ring wielder. Theoretically, a ring wielder could use the ring as his/her/its sole source of life support. The force field seems to be created instantaneously whether this is due to programming or an instinctive reaction from intensive training has not been established. It could be considered as a subroutine of the ring's automatic defensive system, but as of yet this theory has not been proven. The only exception to that was attacks based on the color yellow. The newer version of the ring is not limited by the color yellow.

○ Energy Constructs: The ring can form constructs of Oan energy. The primary function of the Power Ring is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's strength of willpower. A Green Lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the willpower necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of bright green energy, which is a tangible form of pure willpower, and they exist only as long as a Green Lantern is fueling it with their willpower. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the willpower of the Green Lantern creating them. The types of constructs usually reflects the ring wearer's personality. For example, Kyle Rayner was an artist, so his constructs reflect his strong imagination. John Stewart is an architect so his constructs often appear mechanical as if he designed them in his mind before making them a reality.

○ Phasing: The Power Ring allows the wearer to pass through certain solid objects such as walls. Which objects that are not penetrable are not known, but it may depend upon the strength of the wearer's willpower and the density of the object's molecular structure.

○ Environmental Playback: Upon request, the power ring can recreate a holographic environment based on data in its memory banks. The ring wielder can observe events in a ghostlike state, but the ring wielder cannot alter the outcome of the playback. All objects in the playback will appear in the full spectrum of colors, regardless of the wielder's level of expertise creating simulacra. The power ring will automatically end the playback if outside interference warrants the ring wielder's undivided attention.

○ Invisibility & Light Refraction: A ring wielder can render him/her/itself invisible by willing the ring to bend light waves around his/her/its form, as well as that of the power ring. Presumably, a similar action allows an experienced ring wielder to create objects of colors other than green. As Hal Jordan's experience grew, he was able to create power ring illusions of people and objects. It can be assumed the ring wielder would not risk the extra time and effort to create other colors in a combat situation. An invisibility shield was used by Hal Jordan to hide his power ring, which would only become visible when he changed to Green Lantern.

○ Energy Twin: The power ring allows the wearer to create an "energy twin" of his/her/itself that can travel at far greater speeds than that of the ring wielder's physical form. While the energy twin is active the ring wielder remains motionless, his/her/its life force is needed to guide the energy twin. The energy twin can not alter its surroundings and may only be perceived by the Guardians or another ring wielder as a green, ghostlike image. Any knowledge gained by the energy twin is transferred back to the ring wielder's physical form upon recontact with the body. The Guardians frequently used energy twins as a means of contacting a Green Lantern. As a rule, a ring wielder can not create actual, independent duplicates of him/her/itself, as the power ring cannot create life.

○ Energy Absorption: The ring can absorb and store other energies. Doing so does NOT replenish the normal store of energy the ring has. A ring that needs recharging but contained a store of electricity could only discharge that electricity, for example.

○ Flight: By the manipulation of anti-gravitons and directed molecular movement, the ring allows the user to fly at incredible speeds. In atmosphere, a Green Lantern has been known to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere by creating an aerodynamic envelope around his body. Towing others, usually within a bubble, his speed is limited to the twice the speed of sound or 1440 mph. In space, Green Lantern's speed can be significantly greater and has been known to approach 99% of light speed in normal space. Flight has been shown to be velocities far exceeding light speed. In atmospheres, air friction is not a hindrance since heat is either absorbed or reflected by the ring's field.

○ Superhuman Strength: While not superstrength of the conventional sense, a Lantern while using constructs created by the ring becomes capable of lifting/moving tremendous weights far heavier than 100 tons with little effort.

○ Wormholes & Spacial Warps: The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport. The Guardians established at least one known wormhole to Oa, which required the use of a power ring to enter. Black holes can be navigated by experienced ring wielders. During a battle with Sinestro and his ally, MadGod Sector 3600, members of the Green Lantern Corps of Earth and the Green Lantern Corps of the Klyminade traveled through a black hole to be deposited outside a white hole in Space Sector 872. The power ring cannot generate a Boom Tube as it needs a Mother Box and a sample of the highly unstable X-Element. There is no known way to duplicate either item even with the power ring. Should a Green Lantern make his/her/its way to the other-dimensional worlds of Apokolips or New Genesis through a Boom Tube, the ring will function as it does in the rest of the universe. John Stewart encountered no ring related difficulties during his stay on New Genesis, despite the loss of the Central Power Battery. The ring wielder would still need a Boom Tube to return to his/her/its dimension.

○ Limited Cellular Regeneration: The ring has an ability to heal physical injuries; this seems to be a feature held over from the previous incarnations of the ring. Green Lantern can use the ring to repair injuries in himself or others. Speculation has been rendered that if Kyle actually had medical knowledge he would be able to cure a wider variety of dysfunctions beyond normal physical injuries.

○ Electromagnetic Scanning: The ring has a wide range of detection abilities based on the imagination of the user. If one can conceive of it, he can probably detect it. Magical effects like clairvoyance seem to be beyond the scope of the ring. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, radar, television, infrared, ultraviolet, microwave, and high frequency band communications.

○ Galactic Encyclopedia: The earlier rings worn by the Corps functioned as references for their users. Having the vast knowledge of the Book of Oa to draw upon, each ring functioned as a ready reference on most peoples, stellar events and conditions that may have been seen by other rings or other Green Lanterns. The rings also served as a repository of adventures had by the Green Lantern and these mission reports were stored in the Prime Battery on Oa for review and training.

○ Universal Translator: Keeping in mind the myriad of worlds, life forms, and cultures throughout the cosmos, it is understandable why the Guardians added a translation system to the power ring. The power ring can translate virtually any language in the universe, facilitating diplomatic encounters rather than violent confrontations. Complications arise when a frame of reference for translation is not available, as evidenced during Katma Tui's induction of Rot Lop Fan into the Green Lantern Corps. Katma Tui had the difficult assignment of explaining the concepts of "light" and "color" to the sightless Rot Lop Fan. She overcame this barrier by using sound rather than light as the basis of the ring's power. Some Green Lanterns, such as the planet form known as Mogo, have used the ring to create an intermediary "being" to expedite communication. However, this ability seems less effective since the restoration; it is possible that not all the data was recovered.

○ Material Alteration: The Green Lantern's uniform is not made out of fabric. It is created by the Power Ring whenever the wearer wills to wear it. It automatically appears over the wearer's normal clothing, and vanishes when the wearer wills to return to their civilian attire. Most Green Lanterns wear similar uniforms that are programmed into the ring by default such as Hal Jordan's uniform. However, each Green Lantern is able to adjust their uniform to fit their own needs, personalities and whims. For example, Kyle Rayner was unsatisfied with the traditional Green Lantern uniform and created several of his own designs. John Stewart's uniform is similar to Hal Jordan's, but lacks a mask to hide his identity. Jack Chance is the most extreme example, refusing to wear a uniform save for a Lantern badge on his trench coat. The green parts of the wearer's uniform are usually very warm or hot to those who touch it, while the black parts are very cold. The uniform also produces a "siren" taking on the form of the Green Lantern Corps' symbol, circling the Green Lantern when active. The symbol, or badge, will not appear on the uniform until after a newly inducted Lantern has completed training on Oa, leading to the term "White-circle" to describe a rookie Lantern..

○ Ring Duplication: Most Power Rings are capable of automatically duplicating themselves. Each duplicate typically shares the qualities and capabilities of the original ring. While the thought of an unauthorized person getting a hold of a power ring and making duplicates for nefarious purposes, their ability to inflict damage is limited because each duplicate still requires to be recharged by a personal power battery.

○ Emergency Beacon: A Green Lantern in distress can use his/her/its power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to a Green Lantern's neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert.

○ Homing Beacon: A homing beacon in the power ring can lead one Green Lantern to another. This was one of the recent power ring upgrade features added by the Guardians of the Universe. The power ring can be ordered to disguise itself to elude power ring wielding trackers. Guy Gardner successfully escaped the Green Lantern Corps of Earth by willing the power ring to keep his location a secret. Most often ring wielders will allow the beacon to signal their location to others. The Green Lantern Corps of Earth found the remnants of the Green Lantern Corps of The Klyminade by tracking them through their power rings.

○ Mind Alteration: Though the ethics of mind tampering may be debatable, sometimes it is necessary. As the power ring relies on thought and will to operate, mind tampering is not impossible. The real difficulty lies in properly applying the power. There lies a risk of catastrophic damage to the mind should mistakes be made. A ring wielder can use the power ring to erase portions of an individual's memories. To protect his secret identity as Hal Jordan, Green Lantern created a mental block in the mind of Major Disaster. Green Lanterns have used mind techniques as part of training. New recruits may be subjected to mind scans by other Green Lanterns or the Guardians of the Universe. They are taught to build mental defenses to protect themselves from psionic attack. The power ring can also be used to beam information from the ring wielder to another being. Green Lanterns have used this technique to share information regarding their enemies during combat situations.

○ Pocket Dimension: Within the ring exists the possibility of an entire world. When Green Lantern Abin Sur of Ungara defeated the evil sorcerer Myrwhydden, he reduced the magician to submicroscopic size and imprisoned him inside the power ring within a world created by the Green Lantern's will. This undefined space may be a tesseract or a virtual reality created by the power ring. Whether or not this area exists in all rings has yet to be proven. Years after Abin Sur's death, Myrwhydden's power grew, allowing him to alter his environment and escape to battle the next Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. The power ring's interior appeared as a barren wasteland, dotted with dead trees and sea shells which Myrwhydden used during an escape attempt. A few years ago, Mywhydden was removed from the power ring to be sentenced to an Oan Sciencell.

○ Security Protocol: The rings can be programmed. They are coded to the wearer to make them unusable if stolen. The ring will refuse to take an action that would kill a being unless they are on Oa or with permission. The Guardians recently removed the lethal force prohibition, first to allow lethal force against members of the Sinestro Corps, then against all enemies of the Green Lantern Corps.

○ Preset Conditions: Commands can be stored in the ring to be executed at a later date even if the bearer is not wearing the ring. This ability was demonstrated by Ch'p, who surrendered his ring but ordered it to restrain his enemy after a few moments had passed.

○ Thought Relay: Otherwise known as a telepathic link.

○ Indomitable Will: Indomitable Will is a capacity to control one's emotions and impulses. Also, anyone with an Indomitable Will is capable of overcoming fear and resisting mind control. Having an Indomitable Will is an important trait to be chosen for the Green Lantern Corps.

○ Artistry: Artistry, also called Art or Visual Aesthetics, is the ability to create through any means or series of collective intuition. Art is vaguely defined and is as old as human's cognitive thought. Only higher level animals have access to this ability. This ability is categorized within characters who have shown a substantial amount of art skill due to their background, training or active skill. Characters who are artists are Kyle Rayner, Batman and the Tattooed Man.

○ Eidetic Memory: Eidetic Memory, also known as Photographic Memory, is the ability to mentally recall anything and everything a character has ever been allowed to remember over the course of their entire lives. This can extend further and beyond the scopes of reality's memory as a character like Brainiac or those like the Gods of Rome may transcend their memory. For human characters like Batman or Oracle they can simply remember everything they ever learned.

[Weakness Information]

○ Mental Instability Protocol: Drug use, neural interference, vertigo or other forms of mental incapacitation can render the wearer unable to use their ring, rendered useless.

○ Yellow Impurity: Formerly, the rings were unable to directly affect yellow. Now, a wearer can bypass this if they can 'accept fear', which is personified by the color yellow. Rookie Lanterns are more susceptible to fear and thus vulnerable to the color yellow.

○ Recharge Protocol: Formerly, the rings needed to be charged after a period of one planetary axial rotation (dependent on each ring's location), regardless of how often it was used. Currently, the rings retain a charge until they run out of power. This variability ensures that the wearer takes great effort to keep it charged. This weakness does not apply to Ion's host.

○ Vibrational Interference: If a vibration from a device is set to a certain speed, it causes the ring to function only in miniature, so that if the user wanted to make hands to grab something, the hands would be too small to grab it. A clock has been seen to do this.

○ Red Power Rings: Red Power Rings can dissolve the energy from a Green Power Ring.

○ Inferiority Complex: A weakness brought about by his own character rather than his ring's power; An inferiority complex is a lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty, and feeling of not measuring up to society's standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extreme antisocial behavior. The term was coined to indicate a lack of covert self esteem. For many, it is developed through a combination of genetic personality characteristics and personal experiences.
