## Background

The standard Green Lantern is equipped with a Green Lantern Ring, a Green Lantern Power Battery, the Central Power Battery of Oa & the Book of Oa. There are currently a total of 7200 members in the Green Lantern Corps.

## Ring Mastery Levels

#### First Degree / The Novice

* ***Enhanced Durability*:** The wearer possesses enhanced durability when wearing the ring, allowing them to withstand more force than the average human. This ability is more linked to blunt forces & not piercing objects or firearms.
* ***Flight*:** The Power Ring enables its wearer the ability to fly. However, this does not mean that the user will be able to guilde themselves. Most learn to master the skills upon reaching a second degree of mastery.
* ***Energy Projection*:** The ring can be used to fire blasts of energy or create weapons such as projectiles of them. The ring can project beams of force powered and shaped by the will of the user. The appearance of these blasts does not indicate the power of the weapon. The weapons power is more an indication of the mastery of the user.
* ***Galactic Encyclopedia*:** The ring allows the wearer to understand, speak & read any word spoken in the galaxy.
* ***Universal Translator*:** The ring allows the wearer to understand, read & speak virtually any language known to the Power Ring, facilitating diplomatic encounters rather than violent confrontations.

#### Second Degree / The Apprentice

* ***Advanced Communications Suite*:** A Green Lantern can send messages via their ring to other Green Lantern or even other Power Ring wearers whose rings' code have been synchronized with the ring. If in distress, the wearer can use the power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to a neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert.
* ***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.

#### Third Degree / The Adept

* ***Electromagnetic Scanning*:** The ring has a wide range of detection abilities based on the imagination of the user. If one can conceive of it, one can probably detect it. Magical effects like clairvoyance, seem to be beyond the scope of the ring. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high-frequency band communications
* ***Energy Absorption*:** The ring can absorb and store most other mundane types of energy.

#### Fourth Degree / The Journeyman

* ***Environmental Playback*:** Upon request, the power ring can recreate a holographic environment based on data in its memory banks. The ring wielder can observe events in a ghost-like state, but the ring wielder cannot alter the outcome of the playback.
* ***Limited Cellular Regeneration*:** This ring has a limited ability to heal minor physical injuries in the wearer themselves.
* ***Search Probes*:** The ring's user is capable of sending probes through their Power Ring that were tasked with locating specific targets or individuals.

#### Fifth Degree / The Master

* ***Pocket Dimension*:** At this level, a Green Lantern can open a spatial rift to a pocket dimension, usually used to rest & to store uniforms & the Lantern Battery.
* ***Wormhole Network*:** The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport. The Guardians established at least one known wormhole to Oa, in every one of their sectors, which required the use of a power ring to enter.

#### Sixth Degree / The Legend

* **Light Refraction:** A ring wielder can render themselves invisible by willing the ring to bend light waves around their form, as well as that of the power ring. Presumably, a similar action allows an experienced ring wielder to create objects of colors other than green.

#### Seventh Degree / The Paragon

* ***Energy Twin***: The power ring allows the wearer to create an "energy twin" of his/her/itself that can travel at far greater speeds than that of the ring wielder's physical form. While the energy twin is active the ring wielder remains motionless, his/her/its life force is needed to guide the energy twin. The energy twin can not alter its surroundings, and may only be perceived by another ring wielder as a yellow, ghostlike image. Any knowledge gained by the energy twin is transferred back to the ring wielder's physical form upon recontact with the body.
