Still here!

Think I finally pinned down how to do Jess's intro/background arc. :)
I'll have a background... flashback? Intro post? Hero origin post? For Jessica today. XD

A little over a year ago, Jessica went on a hunting trip with her best friends. Unbeknownst to her, it would change the course of her life forever. After hearing strange sounds in the dark, the group stumbled upon several mafia members burying bodies. The mafia members caught them and they were taken to be executed. As the mafia members took out her friends, Jessica managed to escape. She returned home and gave the police the best information she could, but due to the trauma her already existing anxiety crippled her life. The young adult locked herself away in her room, terrified that the men would come back to finish the job.

Three months ago, Green Lantern Ring #7 chose Jessica to join the Green Lantern Corps, much to her protest. Due to problems within the Corps, she received virtually no training before being assigned to protect Sector 2814. Now she's trying to find her place as a superhero while managing her PTSD and anxiety.

Her personality is going to be very similar to the canon. The biggest difference is her lack of having a partner assigned to her- which would be Simon Baz in the comics. This doesn't mean the other Lanterns can't exist, it just means they're most likely not on earth. But that can always be written around so that more Lanterns can be assigned to 2814, especially considering Jessica doesn't have official Lantern training yet. Really no characters should be blocked off.

Jessica Cruz holds a very special place in my heart for a couple reasons. Initially, I discovered her a little after my birthday in 2019. A friend sent me fanart of Wonder Woman, which included Artemis, Cassie Sandsmark, Donna Troy, and a mysterious Green Lantern I had never seen. So I did my research and stumbled upon Jessica Cruz! I was so stunned to see a Latina character, I had to know more! I immediately delved into Rebirth's Green Lanterns and fell in love with her. I was amazed that a character with mental health issues was talking about it openly and actively working on herself to become not only a better hero, but a better person. This was also around the time I started facing my own challenges with mental health, so I became very attached. Throughout my life, I always stuck to Wonder Woman because- well, she's Wonder Woman. But seeing a superhero that was so... human. So relatable. I fell in love with her.

I've had the opportunity to write as Wonder Woman and some of her supporting cast for about two years with a group of friends on Discord, but I've never really gotten the chance to write for Jessica Cruz. I really want to do her justice. Since she's in her beginning stages, she's going to be a roaming character. As she comes into her place as a fully-fledged Green Lantern, she'll move into the driving character position. There's a also potential to be part of GL Danver's plots, especially as a supporting character for the beginning. This character has loads of potential that I'm excited to tap into!
Here you go! Please let me know if there's anything I need to fix! Kinda rushed it, so sorry about that.

Thank you! I'm super excited!


Hey guys! This looks super awesome!

I was wondering if there's room to sign up now or if I have to wait until Season 2? Was thinking I could squeeze in with a Green Lantern Jessica Cruz (Possibly "Driving" for a beginning arc then a shift into "Roaming") since it looks like there's not a GL for Sector 2814. Could definitely open up some collabs with our GL Danvers (@Lord Wraith) and we could start fleshing out the GL Corps. :)

Also, super big Wonder Woman fan, so if you, @Mao Mao, need any help with WW supporting characters that's 100% up my alley. :)

Thank you guys!
"Yeah, I don't wanna be around her anyway," Alex said, understanding his choice, "But I would love to spend the rest of the day with you after that."

The waitress came by and dropped off their food, giving them a quick, friendly wink before leaving to attend her other tables. The food look as great as always. This restaurant never seemed to fail, even in their most busy times.

Alex tried the chicken and was pleasantly surprised by a slight spice. The rice was mixed with several veggies including carrots, peas, and corn. She took a few bites, not realizing how hungry she was until she was finally eating. The last time she had ate was that morning and it was only an orange so she was starving.

"Was that your first time seeing Taekwondo in person?" Alex asked between bites.
"Yes, we were drunk!" Alex laughed, the story now highly amusing, "But still, I chose to kiss you and dance with you! I let you grab and grope me! Do you think I would do that if I didn't like men?"

Alex giggled and shook her head. It was clear that she was in much better of a mood than she had been in the past week. Everything had finally smoothed over. "I'm glad you began to question it- I'm not sure how much more obvious I could have made it."
"I hoped it would happen, but the longer it became the less I was convinced. I thought you really didn't like me like this," Alex confessed. She thought back on the past weeks of being confused with Cole, how it seemed like they were playing cat and mouse. All of that time had been so frustrating. Every time she made some sort of attempt to flirt he either deflected it or ignored it. It made her feel stupid at times. But now those feeling were all gone.

Alex giggled, shaking her head, "I still can't believe you didn't know I liked you! Why did you think I kissed you?"
At Cole's description Alex couldn't help but smile. "So everything she insulted about me was all superficial? And I'm sure any of the personal attacks were less than true." Alex shook her head and sipped at her water. "Well I'm glad we won't have to deal with her after today. I don't wanna have to kick her head off."

The waitress came by again, this time taking their orders. Alex chose a chicken dish with rice. After everything that happened today she really didn't want to eat too heavily.

She looked Cole up and down. It was still hard to believe that he felt the same way too, even though she saw all of the signs. Alex had given up hope long ago that Cole felt the same way and that he was just naturally flirty. But sitting at the table his attraction was as clear as day. The way he looked at her and smiled or the way he was constantly making contact with her, whether it be by hugging or holding hands. Everything felt like a dream. Alex hoped when she went to bed tonight and woke up the next morning she would still be with Cole.
"Yeah, that's probably for the best," Alex giggled. Her thoughts began to drift into Chelsea. Alex had numerous reasons to dislike Chelsea, but why did Chelsea seem to have atone sort of vendetta against Alex? Chelsea did a lot to hurt Alex, but for what? Alex didn't see herself as a threat to anyone or their goals.

"So what was Chelsea saying about me?" Alex asked, naturally curious.
