Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

When his spaceship crash-landed on Earth, Abin Sur the Green Lantern of space sector 2814 sent his ring to find the nearest suitable replacement, a sentient being with the ability to overcome great fear. The ring found Hal Jordan, a test pilot working for Ferris Air in Coast City. The ring brought Jordan to the dying alien. In his last moments of life, Abin Sur told Jordan about the role of the Green Lantern Corps in policing and protecting the universe, gave him his power ring and its battery, and passed on his mantle to the Earthman. And so Hal Jordan became a Green Lantern.
As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, Jordan has access to one of the most powerful weapons in the known universe: his power ring. A power rings capabilities are limited only by the imagination and willpower of its wearer. Hal uses his to fly, to generate his Green Lantern Corps uniform, to form a protective forcefield around his body that also lets him travel safely through space, to translate alien languages, and to generate green solid-light constructs for use in battle, among other things.
In time, Hal Jordan became known as the greatest of all the Green Lanterns. But he was to suffer a terrible fall from grace. After being possessed by Parallax, the living embodiment of fear, the greatest Green Lantern became their greatest foe, nearly destroying the Corps, and the universe with it. But Hal Jordan called upon his great willpower one last time, taking control from Parallax long enough to sacrifice his life to save Earth from destruction. But that was not the end of Hal Jordans story. First, his spirit was host to the Spectre, and when the Spirit of Vengeance moved onto another host, Jordan found himself restored to life. Now free from the corrupting influence of Parallax, Hal Jordan has reclaimed his position as Green Lantern of Sector 2814, and he now fights to atone for his sins, and become the greatest Green Lantern of them all once more.

I fall quiet, panting with exhaustion. I can't even look at him. I just keep on staring at the ground.
"You know. You know."
For a few long seconds, I say nothing. I just keep on staring ahead. I'm alarmed by how calm my voice sounds when I finally do speak.
"Because of you... my son died on a distant planet.... alone, and afraid, and wanting me to save him. And I couldn't."
My voice starts to break, and I feel a tear running down my cheek. I ignore it, taking a deep breath so I can continue talking.
"However I betrayed you in the past, you've made me pay for it tenfold, over and over. It wasn't enough to drive me to become a monster, to kill my friends and die in disgrace and piss all over everything I ever worked all my life to stand for. It wasn't enough to trick me into becoming your friend so you could betray me and disgrace me all over again. You had to find the one thing in this world I love more than anything else, and take it away from me."
Finally, I turn around to look at Sinestro.
"Well congratulations. Whatever you've wanted from me all these years, you've got it. Because there's nothing you could do anymore to lay me any lower than what you've done now. You win."

(i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): I am hoping to help push along arcs that involve Ra's al Ghul and Damien by being another played character involved in their back story and current plot lines. Plus it means I get to play seductress to Byrd. Who can resist? I chose this character because it seemed like one I might have a little bit of creative license with, someone who could be fun to flesh out and really be enjoyable to get into the mindset of for this last season of WoH.

A pleasant breeze, so welcome in the desert heat, and yet so seldom as well, billows the gauzy curtains that frame the wide open square in the wall where a window would normally sit. But here, in the desert, it is stifling to keep the air inside the building, and so the windows are made without panes of glass, that the air may blow through the buildings and give welcome respite to those within.
Beneath the window plush pillows are piled haphazardly, a chaos of brilliantly colored silks and golden tassles. Beyond the window a large, four poster bed of teak lies sentinel. Matching curtains of the same gauzy fabric as the window are tied to each post, though they create a canopy over the bed which swishes too and fro in the breeze.
The brunette sits against the head of the bed, a silken sheet loosely draped over most of her form, though her bare flesh prickles in the chilled evening air. She glowers at the sleeping form next to her, the soft snoring like nails on a chalkboard. Throwing aside the sheet she stands, her form outlined by moonlight.
Talia al Ghul moves to stand in front of the opulent mirror up against her wall, one arm pressed to the top of the oval. She stares into her own burning brown eyes, studying the nearly permanent creases within her forehead. Her hands curl into fists, the knuckles turning bone white with the pressure.
'Oh, my beloved... How could you.. How could you?'
A silver-backed brush finds its way into one hand and she hurls it at the man asleep in her bed, the control she normally keeps in every movement lost in a rare fit of rage. "HOW COULD YOU?!"
The man sits bolt upright and stares at Talia, his eyes wide with fear. The vision of a silvery-sheathed she-demon stares at him with dead eyes and he shouts, jumping from the bed and running as quickly from the room as possible, his clothes forgotten on the floor.
Talia al Ghul slumps against the wall, burying her face in her hands as sobs begin to wrack her body, silent but powerful. "Oh, my beloved... How could you?"

The most recent incarnation of the Royal Flush Gang waits impatiently for their employer at the agreed to meeting place: in one of the many abandoned warehouses at Gothams shipyard districts. The five novice super criminals were nervous as well as impatient. The all knew that they were about to engage in criminal dealings in the one place only the truly psychotic dare: the territory of the Bat. This is how they know that their employer is either extremely dangerous, or simply believes himself to be.
Each of the five show their impatience and nervousness differently. The hypnotically beautiful martial artist, Ten, lounged a little too provocatively atop a wooden crate, her forced relaxation telegraphing her uneasiness. The super-fast Jack openly makes his impatience known by tapping his foot like a rabbit warning against a predator, and though his linger across the curves of Tens body, they dart back and forth periodically. The twin telekinetics, King and Queen, float in the center of the group, positioned back to back, in order to prevent any approach from going unnoticed. The groups leader, Ace, simply sat on the ground, sharpening his broadsword.
An opening door is heard, causing the five to jump, startled by the sudden breaking of the relative silence. Footsteps follow, getting louder as they approach. Out of the shadows, nonchalantly stalking the Gang in a manner befitting a socially-conscious leopard, came a nondescript man wearing a black suit and sunglasses. The first assumption the mercenary criminals make is that the man is a government agent. He is not, and they reason that if he was, the meeting would not be taking place here.
Their second assumption is that this man is their employer. Unbeknownst to them, he is not. He is simply a vagrant, cleaned up and placed under my control to serve as my proxy, allowing me to deal with these riff-raff anonymously and remotely.
Why did you call us here? Ace says as he hops to his feet, his voice full of youth and bravado as it echoes through my agents earpieces and out of the speakers in my inner sanctum. I smile at the image of the young man that I receive via the fiber optic cameras in my agents glasses, and whisper the desired response into a microphone.
I wish to hire you. My proxy says, repeating my words, The task is simple. I require you to rob three banks. You may keep all profits from those jobs, as well as the fee Ill be paying you. Half now, half when the job is completed, as agreed.
Where are these banks? Ace asks, his tone suggesting that hes dreading working in Gotham.
Two in Central City, one in Keystone. My agent replies. Ace nods.
****
I sit back, pleased at the way the negotiations are going as another of my agents, a former aide of my hated rival Solivar takes over.
Lord Grodd, another gorilla soldier states as he enters, bowing his head, she has arrived. Behind him, I see the human-like features of my female partner in this, my most recent endeavor. I smile and nod politely.
Greetings sorceress.
