PHYSICAL PROFILE HEIGHT: 6’0’’ WEIGHT: 200 lbs EYES: Brown HAIR: Brown CLASSFICATION: HUMAN UNUSUAL FEATURES: None
BEHAVIOR PROFILE Hal is a righteous hero with a strong willpower and an ability to overcome great fear. Those traits are what make him worthy of becoming a Green Lantern. Having a strong sense of right and wrong, Hal is guided by his own conscience rather than the general rules that most of the Green Lanterns follow. One of his most notable traits is his refusal to admit defeat even in the darkest of situations, which has allowed him to achieve victory even in the most difficult odds. Despite his virtues, Hal is also reckless and arrogant. More than once he has left his emotions cloud his better judgment, something the Guardians berate him for. Also, Hal is especially hard on himself for allowing Parallax take control of him, which resulted in the destruction of the Green Lantern Corps. But as time passes, Hal is able to overcome his guilt and move on with his life.
DOCUMENTED HISTORY Hal Jordan was born in Coast City on February 20th, to parents Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, the middle of three children with older brother Jack and a younger brother Jim. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. At a very young age, he had to face his greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash right before his eyes. Despite his family's wishes, he followed in his father's footsteps and eventually joined the United States Air Force on his 18th birthday – turning up that very morning outside the Armed Forces Career Center before it had even opened. Many years later, a dying alien named Abin Sur, member of the Green Lantern Corps, crash-landed his ship in the Californian desert. Having selected a replacement officer for his position, the power ring chose Hal Jordan for his ability to overcome great fear. The ring and its abilities were explained to him, and he inherited the mantle of Green Lantern. Acting as a galactic police officer, it was his job to serve and protect all life in Sector 2814. He would soon learn that there were another 3599 Green Lanterns across the universe, all monitored and empowered by mystical creatures called the Guardians. Hal received training from some of the best the Corps had to offer, including drill sergeant Kilowog, and his mentor Sinestro. During his training, Hal learned that Sinestro has been subjugating his home planet, Korugar, through fear, using his ring. After Hal reported these acts to the Guardians and fellow Corps members, he battled Sinestro, and emerged victorious. Along with the rest of the Corps, he then testified against Sinestro at his trial. Expelled from the Corps and banished by the Guardians to the Antimatter Universe as punishment, Sinestro became a sworn enemy to the Corps and gained a new Qward power ring, exacting the start of his revenge. As Green Lantern, Hal Jordan patrolled the galaxy and took on many missions in space. He continued to spend his time at home working at Ferris Aircraft.
POWERS AND ABILITIES KNOWN POWERS:NONE KNOWN ABILITIES: Hal Jordan possesses an Indomitable Will, capable of resisting the strongest mind manipulation and overcoming incredible amounts of fear. After serving several years in the Air Force, Hal has been trained in various forms of hand-to-hand combat, becoming especially proficient in boxing. The Air Force has also served to teach him advanced forms of map reading, small arm functionality and some incendiary military equipment including grenades, rocket launchers and mine awareness. His main function in the Air Force was flying jet planes, which he has become one of the leading test pilots in North America. He is highly proficient in flying many of the latest jet planes, but is also skilled in flying passenger planes, helicopters and space faring shuttles. Hal has an aptitude for leadership and his time in the military has taught him many skills in man management, time appreciation and orders format. When given the opportunity, Hal will take charge and delegate properly and skillfully. STRENGTH LEVEL: Hal Jordan has the strength and body of a man that exercises aggressively. WEAKNESSES: SEE EQUIPMENT FOR LIMITATIONS
PARAPHERNALIA EQUIPMENT: Green Lantern Power Ring- Natural Durability and Life Support: When wearing the ring, the wielder has an increased durability and recieves life support functions. This allows the wielder to be about as tough as a iron wall. This can also be increased by surrounding oneself with a force field (found below). The life support function of the ring naturally protects the user from sickness, disease, gases, viruses, etc. Theoretically, a ring wielder could use the ring as his/her/its sole source of life support.
- Energy Constructs: The primary function of the Power Ring is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's strength of willpower. A Green Lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the willpower necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of green energy, which is a tangible form of pure willpower, and they exist only as long as a Green Lantern is fueling it with their willpower. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the willpower of the Green Lantern creating them.
- Energy Absorption and Projection: By will, the ring can absorb all forms of energy. This energy is not use to recharge the ring, as only the Power Battery can do that. This energy can be released however. The ring can also project any form of energy as a blast. It can even simulate radiation, including Kryptonite.
- Flight: The Power Ring grants a Green Lantern the ability of flight. Not only is a Green Lantern capable of flight while in an atmosphere, they are capable of traveling through outer space without risk to themselves. While traveling through space, the ring creates a force field around the wearer, which protects them and allows them to breathe normally. The ring also protects the wearer from the hazards of the void of space including filtration of stellar radiation and microscopic particulate matter, which would ordinarily be fatal, should the space debris strike the ring wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the ring 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 ring wielder. 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 ring's field. The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport.
- Force Fields: In addition to the natural durability that every Green Lanter has, the ring can also increase the wearer's protection be creating a skin-tight force field, seen as a green glow surrounding the Green Lantern. Adding this skin-armor takes a conscious choice, and allows the wearer to take massive amounts of damage. In addtion to the skin-armor, force fields can be expanded to protect others, or separate force bubbles or shields can be created.
- Uniforms: The Green Lantern's uniform is not made out of fabric. It is created by the Power Ring whenever the wearer wills to wear it. It automatically appears over the wearer's normal clothing, and vanishes when the wearer wills to return to their civilian attire. Each Green Lantern is able to adjust their uniform to fit their own needs, personalities and whims.
- Communication: The Power Rings can be used as communicators between Power Ring wearers. Typically a green "hologram" of the Green Lantern you are communicating with appears from within the ring.
- Spirit Travel: Allows the user to separate an "energy self" from the ring-wielder. This energy self can travel billions of times faster than light and perceive surroundings normally.
- Regeneration and Healing: Speeds up the user's natural healing ability 16 times normal, and allows the wielder to heal others.
- Scanning: The ring has a wide range of detection abilities. If it can be conceived it can probably be detected. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications.
- Dispersal: The Power Ring 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 willpower and the density of the object's molecular structure.
- Invisibility and Light Refraction: A ring wielder can render himself invisible by willing the ring to bend light waves around his form, as well as that of the power ring.
- Mind Tampering: As the power ring relies on thought and will to operate, mind tampering is not impossible, the real difficulty lies in properly applying the power. There lies a risk of catastrophic damage to the mind should mistakes be made. A ring wielder can use the power ring to control minds, or even erase portions of an individual's memories. The power ring can also be used to beam information from the ring wielder to another being. Green Lanterns have used this technique to share information regarding their enemies during combat situations.
- Emergency Beacon: A Green Lantern in distress can use his/her/its power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to a Green Lantern's neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert.
- Homing Beacon: A homing beacon in the power ring can lead one Green Lantern to another.
The power ring can be ordered to disguise itself to elude power ring wielding trackers by willing the power ring to keep their location a secret.
- Time Travel: The ring wielder can travel through time, though the further forward in time a ring wielder travels, the more willpower it takes.
- Power Ring Duplication: Power Rings are capable of automatically duplicating themselves. Each duplicate typically shares the qualities and capabilities of the original ring. Their ability to inflict damage is limited because each duplicate still requires to be recharged by a personal power battery.
- Omni-Power: All the above powers are actual the most common uses of the Power Ring. The ring can do pretty much anything, based on the wielder's willpower. For instance if needed, the wearer could fuel his willpower straight into strength. Hal Jordan has done this and was nearly as strong as Superman. Less frequently used capabilities include splitting atoms and manipulating sub-atomic particles (effectively producing new elements), and simulating forms of radiation (such as that emitted by green Kryptonite.
- Artificial Intelligence: Every Power Ring has a connection to the Central Power Battery on Oa which allows the rings to tap into an Artificial Intelligence (AI). The wearer typically interfaces with the AI by addressing the ring verbally, all though it is presumed that the wearer can also silently communicate with the ring through their willpower. The ring can either respond aloud or communicate silently to the wearer.
The Ring's AI has access to a large database of information which can be crucial to the success of a Green Lantern's mission. Upon request, all though occasionally without prompting, the ring provides the wearer with important information pertaining to a given situation and may also suggest a useful course of action.
The AI can also perform valuable scans of the wearer's surroundings. The ring apparently passively scans an area of approximately 100 meters around the wearer at all times and warns the wearer of any potential threats. A Green Lantern can actively command the ring's AI to run a scan of a person, place or thing and to provide information on what it has learned.
The AI is capable of translating nearly any alien language into the language of the ring's wearer.
Limitations: Distractions can cause a ring wielder to break concentration and weaken the energy construct. Control is needed to wield the power ring effectively. A Green Lantern's mental capacity also affects the workings of the ring. Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and Boodikka once battled the genocidal race of the Ophidians. When chasing the Ophidian star ship, neither of them could catch up to it, for neither of them could comprehend the speed at which it was going. The two Green Lanterns had to combine their wills to overcome the ship. - Recharging the Power Ring: the Green Lantern's power ring must be periodically replenished for repeated use. While in the past the ring required to be recharged every 24 hours, the current set of rings hold their charge until it has been depleted by the wearer, which typically occurs every twenty for hours with regular use. A Green Lantern can address their ring's AI and request a power check in order to determine whether or not they require to recharge their ring.
The power rings are recharged by the Green Lantern placing their rings into their personal Power Battery and reciting their oath. The Power Battery's themselves can be disguised and hidden by being turned invisible by its Green Lantern owner.
- Yellow Impurity: For centuries, the Green Lantern's Power Rings were incapable of working on anything colored yellow. Fear exists on an emotional electromagnetic spectrum as the color yellow, whereas its opposite emotion, pure willpower, is green. However, experienced Green Lanterns, such as those who fought Parallax, are able to disable the weaknesses by feeling fear and overcoming it.
- Psychic Backlash: Despite even the greatest of wills, sometimes a ring construct can be broken. It may seem a mere annoyance to a ring wielder, but in reality it could prove quite deadly. A ring wielder links his/her/itself to the power, a psychic backlash occurs immediately after the disruption of a ring generated construct. The backlash can be very painful and disorienting but leaves no permanent damage to the ring wielder. The real danger to the ring wielder is the split seconds of incapacitation, leaving him/her/it vulnerable to attack.
EXAMINATION RECORD It’s good to be home.
Travelling through the Ionosphere into the Stratusphere, a green haze bursts through a cloud at an extreme velocity. The haze turns into a streak of light as the figure veers left and right as though he were a jet plane dodging enemy rocket fire. Flying feet above a huge body of water, a hand stretches downward to feel the water brush through hjs fingers. A smile comes over the familiar face as the hand retracts from the water and reaches outward causing his speed to increase exponentially.
The green streak of light slows and then stops hundreds of meters from Coast City, home of Edwards Air Force Base. The figure looms in the air for moments and he ponders the most recent events that have transpired. 5 hours travelling back from Tamaran helping the Green Lantern from that sector with a planetary crisis. The Tamaranians were threatened with slavery from the world conquerer Mongul, who was going to hand them over to the warlike race of the Khunds. The Khunds had almost won if not for the interference of a small Tamaranian child and the warrior Starfire. Luckily moments before the whole thing went sour, the Green Lantern Corps showed up and assisted in freeing the planet and helped to escort the Khunds back to their planet.
Smiling, Hal Jordan starts the final leg of his journey, zipping over the large skyscrapers of Coast City, veering left and right towards his condo. Finally arriving at the patio, he lands and wills the ring to open the patio doors. At the same time, he wills his Green Lantern uniform off to more confortable clothing; a blue and red t-shirt and greey jogging pants with matching running shoes. Walking into the condo, he closes the door and makes his way into his kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water and going into the fridge for an apple.
Taking a bite out of the apple, Hal slowly walks towards the door, ready for his daily exercise.
I know what Mom would say right now. ‘Hal, you’ve just flown 5 hours from the other side of the galaxy. The last thing you should do is exercise, you should be resting.’ No, Mom. I need to stretch my legs, a nice run will work out some kinks.
Reaching for the door handle, an alarm sounds. The familiar sound of his Power Ring warning him of an emergency. Hal slowly recoils his hand from the door handle, forms a fist with his hand and brings it to his face, allowing his ring to tell him of the emergency.
Criminal Activity Occurring At The Corner Of South Willow Street and Main Street. Considerable Damage Has Been Done To Many Nearby Vehicles. Judging Power Levels And Police Scanner Reports, It Seems Likely That Major Force Is The Main Antagonist. Proceed Immediately To Prevent More Damage From Occurring.
Shaking his head slightly, and his lips forming a thin line, he wills his Green Lantern uniform back to his body.
It’s SOOOO good to be home. Hmph.
