[hider=| Origin & Backstory |][b]The Lantern Corps Initiative & the Galaxy[/b]

In the beginning when the universe was young there existed the emotional spectrum and the alien entities that embodied each essence. These entities were seven—Ion of Will, Atrocitus of Rage, Ophidian of Greed, Parralax of Fear, Adara of Hope, Zamaron of Love, and Proselyte of Compassion. The guardians of Oa have archived the stories of this period where Atrocitus turned on his brothers and sisters in a fit of anger, Ophidian sought out more power, and Parralax watched as he contemplated their destruction by the fear of the two brothers caused in their battle. In the end the only truth that is known is that Atrocitus, Ophidian, and Parralax were locked away and the guardians of Oa began to work with the remaining entities to observe the galaxy—hoping such destruction would never be unleashed again. Thus the Lantern Corps Initiative was born—embodying a fraction of each entities power to a single person as long as they were “worthy” of such gifts.

In the time of the initiative, the guardians saw empires fall (Salamon, Psion) and evil forces disappear (The Blight, The Manhunters).

[b]Early Life - 1997-2012[/b]

Born of two worlds, Jade is the daughter of an earthling named Alan Scott and a thornian named Rose. Before Jade was born her civilization, known for their abundant resources and druidic nature found themselves under siege by a large assortment of galactic raiders that began to reap the planet of its rich assets. If not for the assistance of the lantern corps initiative there would’ve been a much higher fatality rate than they did. The leader of the relief team was Alan Scott who was a green lantern that had taken over from Abin Sur several years prior. Scott fought back the raiders and defeated them into submission and hauled them back to galactic court to face the law. Jade’s mother was grateful to Alan Scott when he returned a few galactic cycles later and they fell in with each other; eventually resulting in the birth of Jade; which despite a taboo on other worlds was only looked upon with worry for the child. Jade’s childhood was one of half-thornian and half-earthling—where Jade felt out of place despite the affection she was given by the thornian people around her. Taking inspiration from her father gave her drive and as young as ten years old she found herself knowing what she wanted to be—a protector like her father had been. At her “adulthood” as the thornian people considered it, Jade left the planet at the age of fourteen.

Jade’s fiery and adventurous personality garnered her friends as she traveled throughout the galaxy. As time would come it became apparent that Jade was destined to become a member of the lantern corps initiative. She found herself fighting off complete and emotional agony when the planets she came to visit “spoke” to her as they called for help. This feeling that enveloped Jade made her realize that her people were wasting their time away on their homeworld when other planets suffered as she experienced almost unbearable pain each time she stood on these new worlds that called out to her. As thus she began to adventure despite being so young in the scheme of things and she knew she would be a protector—she had to be one. Therefore Jade Scott traveled and fell in with a variety of others in the pursuit of being a protector such as a group of freedom fighters on Zureq, she fought against raiders on Yovk, and even defended against slavers on Vega. She proved she truly envied her father’s legacy and in the eye of the galaxy she soon found herself in a hopeless scenario where the indomitable willpower she inherited from her father showed her a path—to join the lantern corps initiative.

[b]The Return of the Blight - 2013[/b]

Assigned to veteran lantern member Arisia Rrab, Jade Scott found a mentor in the form of the graxonite that became the perfect fit for the thornian. In fact, the guardians selected Arisia specifically for the fact she was a hardened lantern who reflected Jade in many ways—her father was one of the most renowned lanterns in the corps, she had become a member of the corps as a teenager, and initially had a fiery volatile personality that had to be reined in by her former mentor/partner. Jade was finally thrilled with finally been assigned responsibilities after several galactic standard months passing since she passed her recruit training that was heralded by Kilowog and Katma Tui. The following missions that Arisia and Jade would go on to allow Jade to understand the scheme of galactic politics such as the Tamaran Empire’s policy against the corps activity through the space of their sovereignty. Traveling to the Vega System as carefully as possible they came into contact with a group of smugglers distributing illegal goods on an abandoned space station that served as a criminal hotspot. The lanterns had been keeping eyes on the location but rumors had it that an artifact of Psion origin had been shipped there which they planned to sell to The Blight who had supposedly returned and were interested in such things. Donning disguises and entering the station they intended to infiltrate and gather Intel directly on the Blight as well as the nature of the artifact. However, when word reached the criminals that the Blight had attacked a Tamaran Empire colony for a similar artifact they voided all interest due to a desire of not wanting to cross the Tamaran Empire so eagerly. Despite this the deal went south when one of the smuggler’s associates recognized Arisia and things turned into a firefight. Jade’s first mission turned into her first taste of action as they dealt with the men and acquired the artifact. They returned to Oa with a mission complete report in mind.

As the Blight threat continues to spread; the Darkstar Alliance begins to work with the Lantern Corps Initiative—a rare occurrence. As Alan Scott is sent to investigate a sighting of the Blight with Merayn Dethalis. As the two do this Jade and Arisa report back to the lantern corps council and a science team from Rann is sent to study the Psion artifact comprised of Sardath and an earthling by the name of Adam Strange among others. This brings the investigation to a heading as it is soon discovered that the artifacts were designed by an ancient Psion named H'san Natall who was working on a device that could tap into the emotional spectrum and disable it—thus cutting the entities off from their spectrum or perhaps manipulate the spectrum for their own gain. This must be stopped and a task force is organized to deal with the Blight problem at the source before they tampered with what they could not understand as the consequences would be dire. Eventually this team led by Thaal Sinestro find themselves successful in their mission as Sinestro acts with a brutality that “must be done” which the guardians of Oa secretly agree. Alan Scott witnesses this event when he and Merayn end up on the same planet after following their own investigation and Scott is appalled by the genocide Sinestro enacts as he uses a scientific device to specifically kill all of the insectoid aliens in one swift motion. Alan Scott sees this as an act of fear and confronts Sinestro and later the guardians. The situation is left open as Alan Scott is assigned time off to cool his head before his next mission; he begins to wonder what lengths the guardians would go—lengths he disagrees with.

[b]The Rise of the Manhunters - 2014[/b]

The new year has brought dread and ever-consuming worry with the news that Alan Scott has not reported back to Oa after a deep space mission after his ship—the Starheart was found drifting in space with no trace of the green lantern; and worst of all, Scott’s lantern ring is giving off no signal indicated his or its location. The guardians declare this an important matter as they discuss the possibility of organizing a task force team to investigate his last known whereabouts. Jade pleads to the guardians to put her on such a team as its paramount to her to see her father brought back alive as she holds on to the hope that he is still out there. Unbenowst to the corps and Jade, Alan Scott has been captured by a fringe group of manhunters that have remained in hiding whose plans are grand indeed.[/hider]
