Powers/Abilities:

     [i]Galactic Encyclopedia[/i]: The ring is programmed with the vast knowledge of the universe, collected and compiled into the Book of Oa by the Guardians of the Universe. The ring bearer can also use this function to scan, interact, and compare an object to its database, the Book of Oa.
     [i]Flight[/i]: The ring allows the user to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere. Flight can reach up to light speed in space allowing for faster travel between planets.
     [i]Forcefield[/i]: The ring can create force fields of multiple sizes to protect the wearer and those around him. The Oan ring also automatically creates a forcefield in space to and provides a synthetic life support system to allow space travel.
     [i]Energy Constructs[/i]: The ring uses the Oan green energy to form constructs. These constructs are only limited by the users’ imagination and can be as strong or as weak as he wills. He can also choose to simply blast an object with a beam of energy.

Weaknesses: (Hal’s  Power Ring is completely unable to affect the color yellow. The ring is also limited by its charge, which lasts for exactly 24 hours. It must be recharged by a personal Lantern.)

Backstory/orgins: (Hal Jordan was born in Coast City to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, the middle of three children with older brother Jack and a younger sister Jane. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircrafts. He enjoyed every waking moment with his parents like any child would. However at a very young age, he had to face one of his only and greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash right before his eyes. Despite his family's wishes, and ignoring the fate that befell his father, he had decided followed in his Martin’s footsteps and 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.

Now a test pilot at the age of 22, Hal Jordan has been enjoying the career his father had unfortunately left behind. Unbeknownst to Jordan an alien named Abin Sur had crash landed into a nearby desert. Giving attention to his wounds Abin found he had been fatally injured in his crash. Desperate to find his ring’s successor he removed his ring and allowed it to sail off into the air. Seeking great willpower, and the ability to overcome fear, the ring was drawn to Hal Jordan.

In order to extract it’s next bearer the ring forcefully took Jordan out of his aircraft, leaving only a ball of flames where the plane had previously flown. Now within its grasp Hal was unwillingly brought forth to Abin Sur so he could receive his Lantern and hear his final words. In his last moments Abin told him of the Lantern Oath, it would allow him to charge his ring and it would give him light in times of darkness and despair. The alien eventually died leaving Jordan with one of the universes strongest weapons and an unexplainable corpse. Mere hours later Abin’s Lantern fellows were sent in search of the new bearer and the previous user Abin Sur, distraught and upset at the ring’s choice the group originally chose not to bring him but instead the ring. With the interference of Sinestro, who would soon betray the corps, the dispute was solved and Hal was brought before the Guardians of the Universe.

The Oan guardians sought to train him like all recruits and assigned him under the alien Killowog’s watch. After surviving his training and Sinestro’s betrayal of the Corps the Guardians decided to allow Hal to return to his home, sector 2814. Now an Intergalactic Peacekeeper of a vast organization Hal is charged with the duty of protecting all sentient life in his space sector 2814. As Green Lantern, Hal Jordan patrols the galaxy and participates in joint missions with other Lanterns on occasion. He continued to spend his time at home working at Ferris Aircrafts, where he romantically pursues his boss, the Carol Ferris.)
