Lanterns everywhere.

In brightest day,
In blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight,
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!

Those words sound familiar to you? That's the Green Lantern creed. Every Green Lantern recites it when they recharge their power rings daily. I memorized several Lantern creeds cuz, as I've said several time before, I'm a major Lantern fan.

But ever since I got into the whole Lantern thing, I began seeing things in the seven colours of the rainbow. I'm not seeing things or going crazy, hell no. At least I hope not. No I've started placing people into different Lantern Corps subconsciously. Where would they belong if the War Of Light came to Earth and everyone was forced into a Corps?

Red - The colour of anger, hate and rage. This corps is filled with people just boiling with hate. I've always seen myself in this corps because I... well I wouldn't call myself an angry person, but I'm no stranger to it. I am angry at a lot of things. A lot of it to do with myself. Yes, I'm very often upset with myself.

Orange - Greed. This corps is filled with the greediest and most selfish bastards on the face of the planet. They think about themselves and only themselves. Money, power, women, all to serve their personal needs and theirs alone.

Yellow - Fear. This corps is comprised of the manipulative and fear-inspiring bullies. They are dominating, aggressive and generally unpleasant to be around.

Green - The colour of willpower. These individuals are the people I've seen with a strong sense of will. They are not easily swayed. They are capable, independent and they NEVER give up.

Blue - Hope. These individuals are the kind that have faith in anything, whether it's faith in God, or faith in friends, they have a very strong sense of belief. They are positive, quite often these are the happy and cheerful people in my life.

Indigo - Compassion. These are the caring people around me. They are selfless, helpful, charitable and just want the best for the people around them. Some of these people are by no means the sweet and kind types either, I've met the most grittiest and toughest people that belong here. Why? Because sometimes it's for the other party's own good. They care, just in a tougher way.

Violet - Love. Yes, this is pretty self explanatory. Whether it be madly in love with a significant other, or with someone they simply can't let go of in a form of unrequited love like Carol Ferris had for Hal Jordan, these people belong here.

Nowadays, I often see people as if they belonged in a Lantern Corps. I personally categorized people into different corps according to what I know about them. But I'm always curious to know what they think they are in, like which Corps they belong to and why.

I know I'm just rambling again, so I'll stop now. But before I leave, I'd like to know what Corps YOU are in. So comment on which corps you belong in and why!

Well I often see myself in that lot as well. Black is Death, there are actually two more Corps called the Black Lanterns and the White Lanterns. Death and Life. I, more often than not, feel... dead inside. Or rather, wish I was. So that is definitely an interesting Corps to choose :) Nice to see a fellow Black Lantern then.

The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies.
We crave your hearts and your demise.
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!
- Black Lantern Creed
