The Lantern Corps meme

Suddenly, your character has been inducted into one of the Lantern Corps! Now they must do battle, make unlikely friends, or, well, actually learn how to use their powers.

What are the Corps? Glad you asked!


Red Lanterns : Rage

The grumpy Guses of the Lantern Corps. You're angry about anything from your world being destroyed to someone's piss-poor parking job.

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with their rings, vomiting acidic blood I am not kidding.
Weaknesses: Blue Lanterns can cleanse your rage. Also don't yank off your ring or you'll die. Baaad idea. Also a potential for instability and loss of control.

Orange Lanterns : Avarice

You want everything and you want it right now. Precious gems, fancy cars, quadruple decker burgers. If it belongs to someone else, they're just holding it for you. And you want it back now.

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with their rings, ability to absorb other Lantern's constructs (aka stuff you make with your ring.)
Weaknesses: Can't absorb any constructs made by Blue Lanterns.

Yellow Lanterns (Sinestro Corps) : Fear

Scaring the crap out of people is practically your hobby. When it comes down to being loved or feared, you don't even consider love to be an option. You want to scare the crap out of anyone and everyone. Maybe for the fun of it. Maybe to gain power. It's up to you.

Abilibies: Flight, making stuff, weakening and immune to Green Lantern rings and their constructs.
Weaknesses: Those freaking Blue Lanterns again. They weaken you.

Green Lanterns : Will

You've got stuff to do and places to be. Weekend project? By golly, it's getting done this weekend! Saving the world? Pssh no prob. You don't believe in impossible. You will make it possible with the sheer power of your will.

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with your ring.
Weaknesses: Yellow Lanterns make you all scared and not full of will anymore.

Blue Lanterns : Hope

"All will be well." That's this Corps' motto. You're the zen optimist of the bunch. Sorrow is never permanent and you always look beyond and see the sunny days behind that cloudy gloom.

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with your ring, weakening Yellow Lanterns, "cleansing" Red Lanterns, strengthening Green Lanterns.
Weaknesses: Can't do any of the super cool stuff without a Green Lantern around.

Indigo Lanterns : Compassion

The world's suffering is your suffering. Your heart aches for the lost and lonely, and you'll give someone the shirt off your back. Worldly matters don't concern you, but the greater good of all definitely does.

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with your ring, healing powers, ability to mimic some of the other Corps' abilities (like absorbing constructs).
Weaknesses: Good question.

Violet Lanterns (Star Sapphires) : Love

Love, love, love! You love love. Playing matchmaker is a not-so-secret hobby of yours. You want everyone to find love. You want someone to love. You want to spread love everywhere!

Abilities: Flight, making stuff with your ring, ability to "see" someone's true love, immune to Orange Lanterns' influence.
Weaknesses: Potential for instability and loss of control.


So what now?

• Pick a Corps.

• Write a situation. Are you fighting in a battle with your Corps? Are you looking for allies? Are you fighting crime (or causing it)? Here's an example

• Tag around.

• Have yourself a good time!
