Costumed Appearance:
The Emerald Knight HimselfCivilian Appearance:
Preston WestfieldIcon: The Lantern Corps symbol for hope, a thick circle with rectangles rectangles both above and below the circle. A stylized version exists on his uniform, while his ring holds a straighter version.
Costumed Personality: There exists little difference between how Emerald acts and how Preston acts. The Emerald Knight is the name of the unchained persona inside Preston. With the mask on, he feels like he's a completely different person with different responsibilities to Coast City and the earth as a whole. However, the biggest difference with the mask is that he's a little more "Hello citizen!" than he ever would be normally. As the Embodiment of willpower, he musters the drive to tackle any and all problems before him using whatever he can think of, and this bleeds heavily into his masked persona. If the man couldn't be stopped when he didn't have a magical power ring, think of what happened to his thought process after he got it.
Civilian Personality: A complex man with very complex tastes. Does he drink Dr. Pepper, or Coke? What movie should he watch for the fortieth time? Is he going to be the last person standing in a bar fight, or the second to last? These are the complex and important decisions that Preston makes every single day. Still a little bit of a child at heart, he refuses to step down from any challenge, including bleaching his hair and dying it blonde. He's determined to win, and win honorably. He sometimes lacks the foresight to see when a fight will land him in some serious trouble, or if its a bad idea to check out a meteor crash site, but it usually works out for the better.
Super abilities:
-Skills:
-Powers: Energy Construct Generation - The Power Ring grants Preston to conjure literally anything he can think of out of pure energy. The constructs are only as powerful as Preston is willful, but can still be broken by strong enough forces. This includes force fields, body doubles, and even generalized energy blasts. His constructs allow him to lift much more than any being could without assistance, though the lift would still strain his body. An underlying defect of the rings keeps Preston and other ring users from effecting anything that is yellow, to which he doesn't understand why.
Flight - Green Lanterns are able to fly up to Mach 10 in atmosphere zones, and possibly faster without anything holding them back.
Universal Translator - Being in an intergalactic peace keeping corps means that you have to be able to talk to any one and thing.
-Gadgets: Power Ring - The tool of the Green Lanterns, bore unto them by the ring itself, allows the Green Lanterns to do everything that they can do. Once a Green lantern dies, the ring chooses a nearby being who bears a strong amount of a certain emotion. In the Green Lantern's case, this emotion is Willpower. The ring is only as powerful as the user is, and their current mental state and amount of willpower are the driving factors as to how well the ring works. Each ring is powered by a battery, and must be charged once every full rotation of the current planet's axis, regardless of use.
Power Battery - The battery powers the power ring, giving it... power. It does little else, other than charge a ring. Power batteries are not interchangable. Blue Lanterns cannot use a Green Lantern Power Battery.
-Weapons: Imagination.
Civilian Occupation: Astronomer
Biography---------
Character History/Origin: Preston Westfield grew up in Coast City, looking up at the stars and wishing to one day hold one in his hands. His dreams were always above the clouds, in the mysterious void that was space. As a young boy, such interests were believed to be nerdy, before being nerdy was popular. As such, he was subjected to bullying. However, being bullied never made him timid. He stood tall during every confrontation, and waited for the first swing before doing anything himself. He never took any classes of any sort. He learned brawling during his schoolyard fights, protecting his love of space and those who shared his interests. As good of a fighter as he was, he was no athelete. He wanted to be a scientist who studied the stars.
As he grew older, Preston set his sights where his dreams were. His top-not knowledge landed him a full ride scholarship to the university of his choice, where he studied astronomy. His dreams were coming true, and after high school, he was hardly involved in fights. That didn't mean that he wasn't involved in them. He still protected the little guy, up until he left his university to go back home to Coast City. He had already been talking with the local labs of the city and had gotten himself a job as a paid intern, doing what he always wanted to do.
That was when it happened.
A sudden meteor shower had occurred over Coast City. There was nothing foretelling the event. Preston had been driving home after a long night at the bar, finding some more thugs to persuade into finding a happier life. He was still at the top, even if his body hurt. The shooting stars shone overhead, catching his attention, but they were much to large and much too bright. With a smile on his face, he knew he had to follow the direction the asteroids were moving. There had to be something that landed on the ground that he could show off to his coworkers.
It was then that he realized that it wasn't a meteor shower. They were moving too slow, more than enough for him to follow the trajectory to arrive at the crash site.
It was more than Preston could have ever hoped to find. It was an actual alien space ship! With an actual dying alien! Wait. Oh no.
The alien spoke vocally, but it was through thought that Preston could understand him. In his dying moments, the alien allowed his ring to be slipped off. Preston watched it float into the sky and dart around. He wanted to follow it, but it was much too fast. It was only seconds later that the ring returned, proclaiming Preston as the successor to the ring.
Preston disappeared for three weeks after that. The ring had sent him to the base of the green lanterns for training. It seemed like it was a public job. But one that offered no reward. Preston was all fine for a job that was paid in smiles, but he still needed to pay bills. He donned a mask and called himself the emerald knight, because green lantern sounded silly, and Preston could actually make himself a knight using the powers of his new ring. Only after succeeding in his training did he come home to be the protector of the stars. His stars.
And he couldn't be happier.
