The Lantern Corps - a Green Lantern inspired role play

Seven corps will be born. Seven corps will shine their light brightly. Seven corps will be at war.

Alright, so I'm feeling inspired for a Lantern Corp role play. So, I'm putting out an interest check to see if anyone else wanted to play a space cop.
I am currently undecided on the exact layout of it. Whether we all play a member of the same Corp or a task force put together by various Corps. I'd like your input on which Corp you would like to join, and how it should be run.
I will have to state outright that this will follow the main seven Corps. Light, Black and Ultraviolet lanterns will not be present. Except maybe for an overarching antagonist.

The Lantern Corps is a cool concept.

If you plan on letting people pick different corp colors, however, you're going to have to figure out a reason why all the players would team up and stay together, which may prove difficult. Herding the cats, as it were, may be easier if you limit everyone to start out as a Green Lantern and possibly allow them to branch our to other corps colors during gameplay. That way the players can build a camaraderie in-game and have more reason to reconnect when/if they transfer to another corps.

The other thing you'll need to nail down is what you want the players to be doing. Figure out a main antagonist that will take the power of every player to defeat and then several lesser antagonists that can keep the players busy until they reach that ultimate climax. Perhaps the first mission involves introducing the main antagonist and why it's a menacing threat and the subsequent missions are more focused on the Underbosses who are wrecking havoc across the galaxy that the players will have to go handle.

In any case, I'm interested, but it definitely needs to be developed more.

@RedVII
I agree it needs a lot more development. It is still very early stages of development, I just wanted to see if people out there were interested before I started coming up with a complex plot, and setting information.
As of now, I'm thinking players will start in the Green Lantern Corps. With the first story arc either starting with or ending with a major attack on Oa, after the Lanterns look into something they shouldn't have. I'm thinking a new criminal gang, trying to utilise Lantern technology to create bigger and better weapons.
After such a brazen attack on Oa, several Green Lanterns are assigned to a task force to hunt down and bring justice to the perpetrators, whomever they might be.

@Sanity43217 I might be interested. I have a question though I mean I know we're starting as Green Lanterns but does mean we all have the basic ring design or are variations allowed as long the core aspects are there?

@Duthguy

Well that depends on what you mean by basic ring design. Functionally, all Power Rings function relatively the same. The uniforms can differ greatly as they are constructs in a sense. But the actual power rings themselves, will remain pretty standard, with the only real alterations being to accomodate different species. There may be alternate rings for members of Honour Guard, Alpha Lanterns, Lantern Sentinels, Clarissi, Illustres, or Cryptkeeper. Though no one should be starting in these roles.

I'd be down to play in this if you're still looking for people

The previous link was to the OOC. We are very much still looking for applicants.
