A Red Lantern Ring is similar in form and function to that of a Green Lantern Ring. However, whereas a Green Lantern Ring is powered by willpower, a Red Lantern Ring is fueled by rage.
 * HistoryText            =

Members upon taking on the ring undergo a form of indoctorilnization. Making its members give into the rage and hatred in their hearts until its all that they know. A all consuming need for revenge and destruction. In turn taking over their minds.

The Red ring replaces the heart of its bearer, rendering it useless. The blood spoils and the ring expels it from the bearers mouth in a vomit of violent rage. A Red Lantern's veins stretch as they fill with the liquid fire of the red light. It is unknown whether the bearer can recover from the physical transformations that come with wielding the rage of a Red Lantern ring.

Powers
Red Energy Conduit: The rings use Red energy, supplied by a Power Battery, which in most cases takes the form of red light. Red Lantern's ring, considerably one of the most powerful weapons in the known universe, has the ability to affect and use fundamental forces of the known universe, including electromagnetic energies such as gravity, radiation, heat, light, and powerful blasts of concussive force. It is also theorized that the ring also has a basis in other dimensional energies commonly called magic by users of such energies. The ring can also create fields of force formed from an unknown energy that was bound by the users' will. The limitations of such use are the skill, knowledge and imagination of the user. The power is unique in that its form is more that of empowered blood then simple energy.


 * Rage Blasts: The ring can be used to blast blood either erupting from the wielders mouth or the ring itself upon contact it burns even in space. The capable of burning away objects and beings with ease and even burning away the aura of another ring wielder and depleting their rings power. The ring can project this force powered by the rage of the user alone.


 * Rage Detection: The ring allows the wielder to detect the rage in the heart of others, the hate that enrages them is seen on the surface. Allowing a corps member to determine the nature of hate in a being. This detection also is related to its connection of the blood. Allowing them to manipulate the hate and rage in others.


 * Rage Empowerment: by bathing in the blood of ones victims a Red Lantern can empower themselves even more. The power also works in conjunction with the hate and rage of others. It in turn increases the powers of the lantern wielding it.


 * Force Field: The ring can create various forcefields of various sizes and shapes to protect the wearer and others around him. With the cosmic scope of a Red Lantern's abilities, it is natural that the power ring is designed for operation in space. The ring creates a force-field around the wearer, protecting him/her/it from the hazards of the void including filtration of stellar radiation and microscopic particulate matter which would ordinarily be fatal should the space debris strike the ring wielder at high speeds. An atmosphere appropriate to the ring wielder's biology is created inside the force-field, body temperature is maintained and waste products are removed. Gravitational stresses which could cause injury are stabilized for the ring wielder. Theoretically, a ring wielder could use the ring as his/her/its sole source of life support. The force-field seems to be created instantaneously, whether this is due to programming or an instinctive reaction from intensive training has not been established. It could be considered as a subroutine of the ring's automatic defensive system, but as of yet this theory has not been proven.


 * Energy Constructs: The ring can form constructs of Red energy. The primary function of the Power Ring is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's hate and Rage. A Red Lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the rage necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of solidified blood, which is a tangible form of pure rage, and they exist only as long as a Red Lantern is fueling it with their rage. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the rage and hatred of the Red Lantern creating them. The types of constructs usually reflects the ring wearer's personality.


 * Phasing: The Power Ring allows the wearer to pass through certain solid objects, such as walls. Which objects that are not penetrable are not known, but it may depend upon the strength of the wearer's willpower and the density of the object's molecular structure.


 * Environmental Playback: Upon request, the power ring can recreate a holographic environment based on data in its memory banks. The ring wielder can observe events in a ghostlike state, but the ring wielder cannot alter the outcome of the playback. All objects in the playback will appear in the full spectrum of colors, regardless of the wielder's level of expertise creating simulacrum's. The power ring will automatically end the playback if outside interference warrants the ring wielder's undivided attention.


 * Invisibility & Light Refraction: A ring wielder can render him/her/itself invisible by willing the ring to bend light waves around his/her/its form, as well as that of the power ring. Presumably, a similar action allows an experienced ring wielder to create objects of colors other than red.


 * Energy Twin: The power ring allows the wearer to create an "energy twin" of his/her/itself that can travel at far greater speeds than that of the ring wielder's physical form. While the energy twin is active the ring wielder remains motionless, his/her/its life force is needed to guide the energy twin.


 * Energy Absorption: The ring can absorb and store most other energies. Doing so does NOT replenish the normal store of energy the ring has. A ring that needs recharging but contained a store of electricity could only discharge that electricity, for example.


 * Flight: By the manipulation of anti-gravitons and directed molecular movement, the ring allows the user to fly at incredible speeds. In atmosphere, a Red Lantern has been known to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere by creating an aerodynamic envelope around his body. Towing others, usually within a bubble, his speed is limited to the twice the speed of sound or 1440 mph. In space, Red Lantern's speed can be significantly greater and has been known to approach 80% of lightspeed in normal space. Flight is possible at velocities exceeding light speed. In atmospheres, air friction is not a hindrance, since heat is either absorbed or reflected by the ring's field.


 * Wormholes & Spacial Warps: The power ring grants its wearer access to wormholes in space, enabling the ring wielder to rapidly cut time and distance needed for transport. The Guardians established at least one known wormhole to Oa, which required the use of a power ring to enter. Black holes can be navigated by experienced ring wielders.


 * Time Travel: Time travel is possible with the power ring, though the further forward in time a ring wielder travels, the more willpower it takes.


 * Limited Cellular Regeneration: This ring has a limited ability to heal physical injuries; this seems to be a feature held over from the previous incarnations of the ring. Red Lantern can use the ring to repair minor injuries in himself or others.


 * Electromagnetic Scanning: The ring has a wide range of detection abilities based on the imagination of the user. If one can conceive of it, he can probably detect it. Magical effects like clairvoyance, seem to be beyond the scope of the ring. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the ring, including radio, television, infrared, ultraviolet, and high frequency band communications.


 * Galactic Encyclopedia: The ring can act as a repository of knowledge already known or gain from experience of the wielder.


 * Universal Translator: The power ring can translate virtually any language in the universe, facilitating diplomatic encounters rather than violent confrontations.


 * Material Alteration: The Red Lantern's uniform is not made out of fabric. It is created by the Power Ring whenever the wearer wills to wear it. It automatically appears over the wearer's normal clothing, and vanishes when the wearer wills to return to their civilian attire.


 * Ring Duplication: Most Power Rings are capable of automatically duplicating themselves. Each duplicate typically shares the qualities and capabilities of the original ring. While the thought of an unauthorized person getting a hold of a power ring and making duplicates for nefarious purposes, their ability to inflict damage is limited because each duplicate still requires to be recharged by a personal power battery.


 * Emergency Beacon: A Red Lantern in distress can use his/her/its power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to a Red Lantern's neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert.


 * Homing Beacon: A homing beacon in the power ring can lead one Red Lantern to another. The power ring can be ordered to disguise itself to elude power ring wielding trackers.


 * Mind Alteration: As the power ring relies on hate and rage to operate, mind tampering is the staple of the ring. The real difficulty lies in properly applying the power. There lies a risk of catastrophic damage to the mind should mistakes be made. A ring wielder can use the power ring to erase portions of an individual's memories.


 * Pocket Dimension: Within the ring exists the possibility of an entire world.


 * Security Protocol: The rings can be programmed. They are coded to the wearer to make them unusable if stolen.


 * Preset Conditions: Commands can be stored in the ring to be executed at a later date, even if the bearer is not wearing the ring.


 * Thought Relay: otherwise known as a telepathic link


 * Levitation

Weakness
Recharge Protocol: The rings needed to be charged after a period of one planetary axial rotation (dependant on each ring's location), regardless of how often it was used.
