Indigo Lantern Ring

Background

The bearers of the indigo power wield staff-like lanterns composed of coral-like material, which are powered by compassion. The wielders of this power don't wear uniforms, but instead tattoo their bodies with the symbol of their Corps.

Wielders

Roleplaying Statistics

Indigo Energy Conduit:The rings(shaped like staffs)channel the power of compassion for a variety of uses.

• Energy Blasts: The staff can fire energy blasts.

• Force-Field Generation: The staff can create various forcefields of various sizes and shapes to protect the wearer and others around him/her.The staff creates a force-field around the wearer, protecting him/her 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 staff wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the staff wielder's biology is created inside the force-field, body temperature is maintained and waste products are removed. Gravitational stresses which could cause injury are stabilized for the staff wielder. Theoretically, a staff 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 staff's automatic defensive system, but as of yet this theory has not been proven.

• Energy Constructs: The staff can form constructs of indigo energy. The primary function of the Power Staff is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's mastery of compassion. An Indigo Tribesman can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the mastery of compassion necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of indigo energy, which is a tangible form of pure compassion, and they exist only as long as a indigo lantern is fueling it with their mastery of compassion. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the inspired compassion of the indigo lantern creating them.

• Phasing: The Power Staff 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 compassion and the density of the object's molecular structure.

• Environmental Playback: Upon request, the power staff can recreate a holographic environment based on data in its memory banks. The staff wielder can observe events in a ghostlike state, but the staff 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 simulacrum's. The power staff will automatically end the playback if outside interference warrants the staff wielder's undivided attention.

• Invisibility & Light Refraction: A staff 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 staff. Presumably, a similar action allows an experienced ring wielder to create objects of colors other than indigo.

• Energy Twin: The power staff allows the wearer to create an "energy twin" of his/her/itself that can travel at far greater speeds than that of the staff wielder's physical form. While the energy twin is active the staff 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 another ring wielder as a indigo, ghostlike image. Any knowledge gained by the energy twin is transferred back to the ring wielder's physical form upon recontact with the body.As a rule, a staff wielder can not create actual, independent duplicates of him/her/itself, as the power staff cannot create life.

• Energy Absorption: The staff can absorb and store most other energies. Doing so does NOT replenish the normal store of energy the staff has. A staff 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 staff allows the user to fly at incredible speeds. In atmosphere, an Indigo Tribesman 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,an Indigo Lantern speed can be significantly greater and has been known to approach 80% of lightspeed in normal space. Flight is possible at velocities exceeding light speed. In atmospheres, air friction is not a hindrance, since heat is either absorbed or reflected by the staff's field.

• Wormholes & Spacial Warps: The power staff grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the staff wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport.

• Time Travel: Time travel is possible with the power staff, though the further forward in time a staff wielder travels, the more willpower it takes.

Limited Cellular Regeneration: This staff has a limited ability to heal 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, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications.

• Universal Translator: The power ring can translate virtually any language in the universe, facilitating diplomatic encounters rather than violent confrontations.

• 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: An Indigo Tribesman in distress can use his/her/its power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to an Indigo Tribesman's neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert.

• Homing Beacon: A homing beacon in the power ring can lead one indigo lantern to another.

• Security Protocol: The rings can be programmed. They are coded to the wearer to make them unusable if stolen.

• 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.

• Thought Relay: otherwise known as a telepathic link

• Levitation
