Greil Lantern
Who is Green Lantern?
Basically, the Space Policeman of Earth. He utilizes the use of his Power Ring to create constructs made of green light and the like. His ring can basically make anything, its powers limited only by the Green Lantern's imagination and willpower. Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kyle Rayner all hold this name.
Who is Ike?
Mercenary from the continent of Tellius. He is the star of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and one of two stars in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He and his mercenary troupe have defeated Mad Kings and Goddesses. The members of his mercenary troupe are: Shinon and Rolf- archers, Boyd- an axe wielder, Titania and Oscar- Paladins, Mist and Rhys- Clerics, Soren- a mage, Gatrie- a Knight, and Mia- a Sword master.
In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power- Greil Lantern's Light!
The universe, as was written in the most ancient Book of Tellius, began with a great bang. From this bang came the Embodiment of Light, the White Light of the Universe. This embodiment gave birth to seven more lights, each color making up an energy field that was fueled by a specific emotion originating from each of the living beings of the universe. The Guardians of the Universe had harnessed these emotional energies and from them they forged the first Power Rings.
Red, the color of rage, was the farthest left on the emotional spectrum. He had seen it first-hand how cruelly it influenced its wielder. The Red Light amplified one's rage tenfold, turning the blood into a substance like corroding acid and rendering the heart useless. The mind of the user was also altered, making one little more than a rabid animal. In exchange, strength was enhanced as well as the ability to live even though one's heart would be ripped right out of their chest. He had fought many Red Lanterns before in the past- one of them being his longtime friend and ally, Boyd- and it had to be admitted that they were quite easy to goad.
On the opposite side of Red was Violet, the color of Love. Like Red, Violet was able to influence the wielder's mind as well. Effectively, the wielder of the Violet Light- one of whom was his current flame, Mia- was rendered into nothing more than a lovesick pawn. She who utilized the Violet Light had but one mission: to spread love throughout the universe. However, the method was something that he could not allow: to encase entire planets in crystal. He himself had never wielded this light in his life, but it had to be admitted that, if he should ever get the opportunity to, he would be sorely tempted not to turn it down.
After all, the entire Star Sapphire Corps was made of extremely attractive women.
Next to Red was the Orange Light, the color that represented Avarice. Only one whose heart held naught but greed could ever hope to wield the power of the light. Even then, considering the amplification of the greed that came from the Light, only one being in the entire universe could ever wear an Orange Power Ring at a time. The current wielder, Gatrie, had the power to steal the identity of others. Unfortunately, the cost of such power was an utterly dominant mindset of everything belonging to him. Effectively, he was no more of an animal than the Red Lanterns.
He spent most of his times greedily chasing skirts.
The opposite of Orange was Indigo, the Light of Compassion. The Indigo Tribe- led by the peace-loving Oscar- spoke in an odd language that no one else could ever understand. Their Rings had been made to heal others and create shields, rather than being made to fight a war. However, when there was no other choice to be made, the Indigo Tribe could temporarily copy the power of a Ring from one of the other Corps and utilize its power for a short period of time. Still, though, the Book of Tellius branded them as the healers of the universe.
They were always the first to go in a fight.
And then there was Fear, represented by the color Yellow. Yellow Light could be wielded by one whose greatest ability was to instill Fear in others. This power was newly discovered by Ike's old ally Shinon and in addition to having the ability to hinder the Green Light, amplified the aggressive tendencies of the wielder. It was actually more likely for a Yellow Lantern to get into a fight than a Red Lantern.
The most powerful Light of them all- or at least in Soren's opinion- was the Blue Light of Hope. While little more than a Green Ring alone, a Blue Power Ring's true worth was unlocked when used in the presence of a Green Lantern. The Blue Ring had the ability to weaken the Red, Orange, and Yellow Lights as well as strengthen the Green and Indigo Lights. It was because of this reason that he and Soren made such a great team. However, while the Blue Light was likely the most powerful of the Emotional Spectrum, it was easy to say that it was the most difficult to understand as well.
Finally, the center of the Emotional Spectrum was the Green Light of Willpower. He, Ike Jordan, was one of many wielders of this sacred light. While it had no unique powers of its own, it was definitely the most balanced light in the Emotional Spectrum, and therefore could easily be utilized by any beings whose Willpower was strong enough. They operated from the planet Tellius and as Greil Lantern of Smashville, he was usually charged with the protection of the sector it resided in.
It was on this day, however, that he was relieved of his duties by the Guardians themselves. By now used to floating around in their presence (he was usually in trouble), he confidently flew over to their meeting place. He happened to pass fellow Greil Lanterns Rolf Gardner, Titania Rayner, and Rhys Stewart on the way. He shot them a grin, wondering why they seemed so grim this day.
They didn't acknowledge him.
The Guardians were sitting around him in a circle, each seated on his or her own stone throne. Ike casually landed in the center of his circle, blue eyes roaming. The Guardians were known for their ability to hide their emotions, but there was no denying that there was a definite tension in the air. For a moment, Ike considered breaking the icy silence with a good-natured joke, but then he shrugged it off.
These Guardians were old farts anyways.
"Ike Jordan," one of the Guardians, Ganthet, wheezed. "You are late."
A smirk formed on the Greil Lantern's lips. "Nope. I'm never late. You guys are all early."
He could've sworn he saw the corners of Ganthet's mouth twitch. "Yes… well…"
"It is time that we discuss the reason why we brought you here," another Guardian said quietly. "Ike Jordan of the Greil Lanterns… do you know why you are here?"
"Is it about that time I ticked off Boyd by stealing his meet last Thanksgiving? Because seriously, I did say sorry for-"
"You know, do you not, of the Blackest Night prophecy?" one of the female Guardians interrupted.
Ike was taken aback. The last time he heard any mention of it was when he first joined the Corps. "Well… I've heard it mentioned before, but-"
"Then you know that should the Black Light ever be discovered and harnessed, that will mark the end of the universe as well know it?" the same Guardian asked.
"I… what?"
"The Black Light, Ike Jordan," Ganthet intoned. The faintest of smiles appeared on his blue lips. It had to be admitted that while the other Guardians made sure to lobotomized themselves of their emotions, Ganthet had chosen to keep his own. "The Light of Death."
"What? You're kidding me, right? There's seriously a Light of Death?"
"You disbelieve us?" Sayd, a female Guardian, asked. Like Ganthet, she had chosen to keep her emotions.
"Well… yeah, kinda…"
"Then answer me this, Ike Jordan," Sayd continued. "Do you not remember the outcome of the Shinon Corps War?"
"… We won it… and a ton of people died."
"Precisely. We Guardians have felt a strange presence since that war," Ganthet said. "A presence that- Sayd and I agree- is troublesome."
"Then send me out to wherever this is! I'll show Death a thing or two!"
"You, Ike Jordan, are charged with the protection of your sector until further notice," another Guardian snapped quickly. Ike opened his mouth to protest, but one look into the soulless black pits where the Guardian's eyes should be stopped him. "However, know that the reason we called you here today is because the source of the Death Light has been strongly detected to reside in a resident of your planet. Whether or not he is the source of the light itself or merely its pawn, we do not know."
"Who? I'll find him and rip him apart!"
It was Ganthet who spoke. "We advise not going after this man, Ike Jordan. He is as dangerous as Parallax himself."
"Who?"
"I have received reports that he stylizes himself as…" the emotional Guardian hesitated.
"As…?"
"… The Joker…"
