# Green Lantern of Sector 112

## Laira Omoto

Green Lantern DCWW

*Former Princess of the warlike Jayd turned Green Lantern. Together with her Partner Kyle Rayner she got herself into quite a lot of situations. Calm and collected, but also serious and has difficulties with humor.*

## History

### Early Life

Being born as the Ruler of Jayd’s only daughter would not make Laira’s life any easier than the lives of others. One could argue it even made things more difficult. She was expected to be great, just as her father had been. No… She had been expected to be greater. A ruler who would lead Jayd back to the stars and crush anyone in its way.

Her father had already started that, conquering several planets close to the Jayd System. That quickly got the attention of the Local Lantern. He - knowing how warlike the Jaydians could be - quickly attempted to intervene. He wanted to take down Kentor and thus throw the Empire back into anarchy, but his wife Leandra had thrown herself between the two, being killed in the process. Kentor quickly killed the Lantern, but more of them were on the way. Knowing full well that he could not take down an entire army, he agreed to peace talks. It was a day of humiliation for Jayd, but for one little girl it was the day she lost her mother.

Laira was forced into even harsher training by her father. Kentor had smiled very rarely in the past, but since he lost his wife, he had not smiled at all anymore. He became even colder and more angry and Laira did her best to not provoke any reaction from him, being top of all of her classes and staying out of anything that might enrage her father.

### Enlisting into the Shock-Trooper

When she was of age, Laira of course enlisted. As the daughter of the current Warlord that was to be expected of her. While some did look down upon her because they thought she had gotten into the Shock-Trooper program because of her father, they soon learned that was not the case. Laira turned out to be an incredibly skilled warrior and leader with a great sense of duty for the Empire. At least that was the picture she tried to portray. The truth was that after their bloodiest battles, she often was a mess. So many comrades had been lost. She found herself disillusioned from the cause, but continued, because it was her duty and she knew nothing else.

During one more invasion, they found themselves confronted by a Lantern. One of her fellow soldiers had tried to sacrifice himself to take down the Lantern. The Lantern did die, but so did most of her team and Laira had been fatally wounded. It was then that the ring fell from the dead Lantern’s finger and came to her. When waking up, Laira found herself on Oa, a place considered the home of the enemy by her people. She finds herself in the middle now, hated as a traitor by her own people and distrusted by her fellow Lanterns for being the daughter of one of the galaxy’s greatest warmongers.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

* **Military Protocol:** Orbital Drop Shook-Trooper training, an elite unit within the Jaydian Army, who is famous for being dropped from Orbit onto the battlefield.
* **Hand to Hand Combatant:** Expert in both ranged and close quarter combat and used to both leadership positions and high pressure decision making.
* **Indomitable Will**

### Weaknesses

* **Ring Dependency:** Without the ring Laira loses all her powers. While still dangerous because of her training, she is nowhere near being as much of a threat as she is with the weapon. Laira also is limited by the use of her ring. The rigid training and horrifying situations she had endured did strengthen her will, but at the price of her imagination, so it is difficult for her to create things with her ring that have nothing to do with Warfare.
