[INDENT][INDENT][i]An ordinary man like any other, Scott Mason is no alien nor Amazonian, nor did he spend years in training. But with his incredible willpower, and selflessness despite being powerless, he will attract the attention of an ancient and primal being. It is thus that Scott will become the wielder of the Green Flame of life, the Starheart, and make a name for himself as the GREEN LANTERN.

Just like his space-faring counterpart, he needs only will to make his way. But unlike the Green Lantern Corps his ring is powered by a sentient magical meteorite. A young man volunteering to step into both filled and unfilled shoes; Please support him as he fights for truth, justice, and American way as the self-proclaimed disciple of Green Lantern.[/i][/indent][/indent]

'Hey, this isn't Alan Scott, this is might be some weird fanfic oc!' To that, I would say, it will definitely feel like that as I try to creatively use the 'Starheart' entity, and the name Green Lantern. But actually, this is a bit of a joke on my part. Scott Mason is in fact from an official alternate DC universe, where he is known as the Green Guardsman, and he performs just like any Green Lantern. Except the Green Guardsman shows up only for 2 episodes of Justice League animated. There is also the extra detail where this Scott Mason will have a slightly different personality, though will remain very much a hero. If that's no good I do have a backup plan, just let me know.

Now that's the name out of the way. I will explain my motivations and goals. For Scott I plan to pull all sorts of tidbits from various old lantern stories and other heroes as well to create a hero I don't believe we see often enough. I've been thinking about Superman's justification for joining the Daily Planet, so he can know about emergencies as they happen, right? Why didn't he become a cop?

I want to explore that facet of heroic identity eventually with Scott, despite him being an Artist, he doesn't need to stay that way, and I want to be able to show some normal everyday events from the view of someone who largely views themselves as normal. And just might be without his powers, right? Well those are some thoughts into my goals, whether they turn out that way, who knows. Even the ideas for this guy changed a bit overnight, care to guess how?[/i][/indent][/indent]

I'd like to explore both metahuman and supernatural plots. Locations like Nanda Parbat, as well as villains like Solomon Grundy, are both rooted in magic which is not normally something for a space cop. I see a lot of you put characters here, I will do this too if I don't get banned first.[/i][/indent][/indent]

A strangely garbed young man shouted, as he flung a fist out, Scott Mason, the inheritor of the Starheart. Only a few weeks ago had he become aware of his predecessor, Alan Scott, and it took him just a couple more to visit him. Scott Mason had thought this old veteran would have important wisdom to train him in, and he was right. But he didn't expect him to be such a stick.

"Scott! For the last time, it's not about being physical! You haven't trained your body like I have yet, if you just keep throwing your arm like that you'll just get ring elbow." An older man standing farther off shouted. Earth's first Green Lantern, Alan Scott crossed his arms and shook his head. "Straighten up your posture too. Heroes have more dignity!"

[color=00a651]"Ring elbow?"[/color] Scott Mason glanced back at the man, ignoring that last part, and tilted his head in confusion.

"You'll know when you get it." Alan thinly smiled, then his face straightened. "Okay, again, but you have to want it! Really feel what you want, try something that gets you inspired! Surely an artist has ideas!"

Scott placed his other hand on his right arm's wrist, planted his legs at shoulder length, and breathed deeply. For several long moments he stayed like that, focusing, concentrating. All the while, Alan Scott squinted his eyes, unsure of what to think about the newcomer. The Starheart chose him, but if he's this slow has he really been fighting these last few months?

Then a brilliant emerald fire erupted in the air, just a meter or so away from the young man. It grew into a shape, striking a powerful pose with an intimidating physique, a shape that instantly gave Alan Scott a deep migraine. Not even fighting WWII in the trenches was this much of a pain. Scott Mason had been focusing intensely on his image of a perfect hero, someone who had personally saved and inspired him. The Green Lantern, the other one.

"H-hey!" Alan said, more than a hint of annoyance in his voice. "You do know who's training you, right?" He shouted.

[color=00a651]"I don't care. You're before my time old man. This guy, he's my hero!"[/color] Scott smiled and thumbed his hand at the figure.

"I hate kids." Alan sighed.
