Red Lantern Ring

Background

The Red Lantern Corps was formed by Atrocitus of the Five Inversions, one of the five survivors of the Massacre of Sector 666. Using the blood magics of the Five Inversions, Atrocitus harnessed the red spectrum of light, allowing him to empower the rage within him. The Red Power Ring was born out of anger and crystalized the blood of the Inversions.

Atrocitus' first discovery of the red spectrum came during the years of incarceration he endured on the prison planet of Ysmault. He blames the Guardians of the Universe for the massacre of his sector, and because of this Atrocitus built up years of hatred and rage. When he gave in fully to his rage, it was given shape for the first time when he bludgeoned Qull to death, one of his fellow survivors, with a Red Lantern Power Battery.

Oath

"With blood and rage of crimson red,

ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,

we'll burn you all, that is your Fate!"

Roleplaying Statistics

Red Energy Conduit: The rings use Red energy, supplied by a Power Battery, which in most cases takes the form of red light. Red Lantern's ring, 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. The ring can also create fields of force formed from an unknown energy that was bound by the users' will. The limitations of such use are the skill, knowledge and imagination of the user.

• Red Energy Blasts: The ring can be used to fire blasts of red energy or create weapons such as projectiles of them. The ring can project beams of force powered by the rage of the user. The weapons power is more an indication of the rage of the user. Poor to Incredible.

• Flight: By the manipulation of anti-gravitons and directed molecular movement, the ring allows the user to fly at incredible speeds.

• 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. Black holes can be navigated by experienced ring wielders .

• Limited Cellular Regeneration: This ring has an ability to heal physical injuries. Poor to Excellent.

• Universal Translator

• Rage Infection: Red Lanterns are capable of infecting others with the rage, which can lead to them being converted to the the Red Lantern Cause.

• Rage Empowerment: the Red Lantern ring is unique in that its base of power, Rage, can be manipulated by the ring user. A Red Lantern can detect the rage in the heart of others and by connection the blood that pumps that blood. The rage and hatred of a individual red lantern empowers their abilities as well as the rage and hatred of others.

Weakness

• Life-Support Dependency: As the Red Power Ring assumes the functions of the heart, a Red Lantern cannot remove the their ring without risking death.

• Uncontrollable Rage: Because red is on the farthest edges of the emotional spectrum, Red Lanterns are unable to think clearly or be reasoned with. They rarely speak, save for their leader Atrocitus, and often attack without distinction.

• Hope Influence: the Blue light of hope is seemingly the only power that can extinguish the red flame.
