World of Heroes R - Spectrums of the Lantern Corps
Within the wider universe, there is a power that cannot be denied - emotion. All sentient beings feel this thing, that concept that guides them forward into the future, but only a few can tap into the power itself, granting them abilities keyed to their primary emotional focus. The Lanterns of Power, specialized reactors that harness this energy, have produced in them seven shades of emotional energy that allow those granted this power the means to act as guardians of the galaxy.
GREEN: The Color of Determination. Though often cited as "Willpower," in truth the emotion that drives the green spectrum is determination, allowing its agents to act decisively. This emotional energy is the most wide-ranging, and indeed most members of the Lantern Corps have green rings, leading many to assume that the organization is the "Green Lantern Corp."
BLUE: The Color of Hope. While gifted with the same capacity of action as their green counterparts, Blue Lanterns are not subject to the same issues - they can't run out of determination when faced with impossible tasks. Indeed, they seem to make the impossible seem possible.
YELLOW: The Color of Fear. Where the Green Lanterns derive their power from belief of the self, and the Blue derive it from hope of a better tomorrow, the Yellow Lanterns derive their power from fear. Their enemy's fear, that of the people who get worried about the future, even their own, it doesn't matter, fear is fuel for their fire. Sure, some people think they're extreme, or even outright evil, but sometimes reminding people to fear consequences is the way to go. So says their leader, Sinestro.
ORANGE: The Color of Avarice. While in theory, Orange Power Rings should be easier to get then even Green, in practice there's rarely more than one Orange Lantern at a time. The power of greed is a very... strong ability, and the shade is kinda neat, and it doesn't hurt the eyes aND IT'S MINE MINE MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT! MIIIIIIINE!
Sorry, don't know what came over me.
INDIGO: The Color of Empathy. Indeed, the Rings of the Indigo Lanterns are given not just to the normal man, but to those that need it. Some might be considered sociopaths, others might be social pariahs who decided to play the part of evil, and others just found evil fun, but once the ring is on, their minds are opened. Perhaps the best example of this is "Munk", a man who once led a crusade to devastate entire populations of the galaxy until he ran into Indigo-1.
VIOLET: The Color of Love. The only group of the corp to forgo the Lantern name in favor of one of their choice, the Star Sapphires offer aid where they can, their power deriving from platonic, romantic, and parasocial forms of love.
RED: The Color of Rage. Be it righteous or pure, anger drives the forces of the Red Lantern to act in defense of others. Other Lanterns tend to keep their distance, however, citing things like "Excessive use of force," "lack of consideration for property damage," or "WILL YOU STOP TRYING TO HIT ME?!" Red Lanterns consider the other Lanterns to be too soft on the monsters of the galaxy, though sometimes they do start edging into that territory.
