Lantern Chronicle

At the last general meeting for the Green Lanterns the announcement of a new role-play group, this blog post is to show there was more than just an announcement and a couple of cheers from the audience.
The group will be starting as soon as possible but a meeting is still to be held to determine details such as locations of RP and the people involved. There are positions for more than just players and we encourage everyone that is looking for some way to get involved to contact us. Warren and myself are at the helm of this project and would be happy to hear suggestions or ideas.


For now lets share what we have in mind and how we hope to see the group take off. One of the most important things for everyone to learn about now however, is that the group takes a different route from the cannon in the comics. This was done for a variety of reasons but the major factors of this were that we believed people might ask to play their favourite characters and that might upset the others in the group that wanted to take on the helm of this particular character. It was also done because we believe were in a group with a creative collection of individuals that would enjoy the idea of creating their own backstory, as well as developing this character through the role-play with others.
This means if you have an idea for an alien you’ve not seen in the comics, something you wanted to see on a planet or a collection of stories you thought would be cool you can now incorporate them into your own character and live them out in this fantasy world. How is this possible you ask, well I hope you’re sitting down for this, we killed all the cannon characters of except for Ganthet.
There is a detailed backstory to this murder of the corps but the summary is that Hal Jordan destroyed the corps under the influence of parallax. When Kyle Rayner returned to OA he defeated Jordan/Parallax and reignited the central battery. However it required so much energy that the process killed him.
The upside is that a new batch of guardians appeared and the rings scattered across the universe returned to OA. The lanterns that returned with them are the ones starting this group. Also with parallax defeated the lanterns can fight the sinestro corps without that pesky weakness to yellow.
Favouring surprises and plot twists I refuse to divulge any of the storyline being worked on but I’ll happily say a little about the start of the RP. To start things off with a bang, and help people get use to their roles before throwing them against the worst of the worst there will be an RP event. The event will take place on OA with the new lanterns halfway through their training and already having to fend off an attack from a formidable foe.
It should be fun seeing how the Poozers get themselves out of this mess, The mini event will be used to start off the group and begin the RP after that the role-play will flow more freely and then the real fun begins when each of the lanterns are sent off to guard their own sector.
It’s not too late to get involved so grab your power ring and get creative!
