Green Lantern RPG

DC Incident System

The system allows you to find heroes and villains scattered throughout the city, discover crimes in progress, and monitor situations that can change at any moment.

Encounters with heroes: characters can be found patrolling streets, investigating clues, resting in their bases, or fighting criminals. Some may help the player, while others may ignore them or ask for assistance.

Encounters with villains: villains may appear in hideouts, robberies, attacks on facilities, prison breaks, or confrontations with other characters. Some act alone, while others lead criminal groups.

Crimes across the city: various incidents occur in neighborhoods, such as robberies, chases, kidnappings, break-ins, gang attacks, and technology thefts. Larger crimes may involve supervillains and threaten multiple areas.

Threat levels: events range from petty local crimes to invasions and catastrophes that require the participation of multiple heroes.

Random encounters: during exploration, the player may encounter unexpected characters, witness confrontations between heroes and villains, or discover crimes before they are reported in the news.

Consequences: Ignoring an incident may allow the criminal to escape or the situation to worsen. Solving cases can increase the player's reputation, gain allies, and unlock new opportunities.

City news: newspapers, television, and conversations between citizens report recent events, reveal the actions of heroes and villains, and show how the population reacts to the player's actions.

The idea is to make the city feel alive: while the player investigates one case, other crimes, encounters, and confrontations continue to happen in different locations.

Black Lanterns — Death: They don't recruit living people like other corps. The black rings resurrect corpses and transform them into Black Lanterns, placing them under the influence of the force of death/Nekron. It's more accurate to speak of conversion of the dead than recruitment.
White Lanterns — Life: They also don't have a normal recruitment system like the Green Lanterns. White light is linked to Life and the combination/mastery of the different emotions of the spectrum. DC itself describes the White Lantern as the personification of life.
Ultraviolet — repressed negative emotions: these are different from the seven traditional colors. Ultraviolet light is linked to hidden/repressed negative emotions. The Ultraviolet Corps uses the Ultraviolet Corps and its energy to bring these emotions to the surface and corrupt/control its users.
Green: ring chooses → willpower.
Yellow: search/recruitment → ability to instill fear.
Red: ring takes over the individual → extreme rage.
Blue: recruitment → hope.
Indigo: recruits/strength → develop compassion.
Violeta: selects/recruits → intense love.
Orange: Larfleeze monopolizes → practically no one is accepted.
Black: resurrects → the dead are transformed into Lanterns.
White: connection with Life → exceptional selection, not conventional recruitment.
Ultraviolet: exposure/selection → repressed negative emotions.

Green Lanterns — Willpower: The ring typically automatically selects an individual deemed suitable. Priority is given to exceptional willpower, especially the ability to overcome fear. When a Lantern dies, the ring may search for a replacement within the sector.

Sinestro Corps — Fear: The yellow rings seek individuals capable of instilling great fear in others. The selection also involves tests and criteria determined by the Sinestro Corps itself. Therefore, it is not enough to simply "be afraid." The candidate needs to be someone associated with the ability to cause fear.

Red Lantern Corps — Rage: Atrocitus and the red rings recruit beings consumed by intense hatred and rage, often related to tragedies, revenge, or injustice. The red ring can simply go to the person and dominate them, making the process much more coercive than that of the Green Lanterns.

Blue Lantern Corps — Hope: here it's different. The Blue Lanterns were created by Ganthet and Sayd, and recruitment doesn't simply work like a green ring automatically choosing someone. They seek individuals capable of representing and spreading hope. The corps' original objective was also to work in conjunction with the Green Lanterns.

Indigo Tribe — Compassion: This is one of the most unusual cases. The Indigo Tribe doesn't simply let a ring choose someone compassionate. They recruit individuals, including extremely violent people, to force them to develop compassion. Therefore, recruitment can function practically as a form of compulsory rehabilitation.

Star Sapphires — Love: The Sapphires seek individuals with a very strong connection to love. The ring/gem can choose the person, but the Sapphires can also deliberately recruit certain individuals. The oath itself speaks of accepting the ring and fighting.
Orange Lanterns — Greed: here, normal recruitment is practically nonexistent. Larfleeze monopolizes the orange light and doesn't want to share his power.

When a new Green Lantern emerges, the ring itself usually seeks out someone with sufficient willpower and chooses them. After that, the Guardians of Oa become aware of the new member and may summon them to Oa. There, they can receive combat training, learn to use the ring, and learn the rules of the Green Lantern Corps. Often, a more experienced Lantern is tasked with training them. Once prepared, they officially assume their space sector and become part of the Corps.
The Green Lanterns' objective is to protect the universe and maintain order in its different sectors of space. They patrol their sectors, confront threats, protect civilizations, and prevent wars and crimes that could endanger lives. Each Lantern is assigned a sector to protect and answers to the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians of the Universe, who command the organization from Oa.
