Looks good. I edited in a bit of the Communal stuff, but for now, consider the following: *From Wisp and Luna, you can pick one light based ability and one moon based ability within your Green Lantern style. A Green Lantern lens could be the light ability, or a mirror to reflect light attacks and energy blasts, or... As for the moon: Again, the mirror idea; or a green moon to shine out; or a moon 'cover' that prevents lycanthropes from transforming... *If you want minor or major cybernetic enhancement, symbiotes, bio-wizard transmutation, Rifts-style magic tattoos, Native American fetishes, etc., we have a slush fund for such. I don't imagine you'll be tremendously interested, but a few basic cybernetics can always be fun. Your character has a lot of latitude to add minor bioware (though I'd shy away from bionic limbs and such), so you could do any kind of Shadowrun bioware or the basic Rifts utilities (climbing or grappling cord in the wrist, clock calendar, implanted computer/calculator, clock compass, amplified hearing, wired reflexes, enhanced muscles...) . Since Redfox trained under Bartholomew Kuma, whose body was designed by Dr. Vegapunk, it IS possible for Kevin to undergo full cybernetic alteration with full compatibility with Green Lantern powers AND still look human, but I doubt that much interests him. *The team has the Hogyoku, Aizen's Orb of Distortion. Normally, this is used to break the barriers between Hollow and Shinigami, but it could be used in your case to slowly break the barrier between Green and Yellow Lantern, fusing both! *If you want better armor, weapons or equipment to round out your strategic choices, the team is not only friends with Melchior, Belthasar and Gaspar (the Three Gurus from Chrono Trigger) but also succesfully raided Zeal's Armory and thus found an array of elemental items. As a Green Lantern, it's not a terrible idea to add on a few rings, amulets, bracelets, weapons, armors, etc. The Effective Shield and Photon Halo would be especially good items to add. *You'll also note that we have Chrono Cross Elements. If you want to get some Materia, that can also be purchased. *And we have Espers to slowly teach some utility spells. Or if you want to take it slow and just keep with what you have, that also works. All of this, and more, can be found here: cotgrpg.proboards78.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=museaegiscampaign&thread=2061&page=1Don't be afraid of putting ideas there, floating ideas for research and further development, etc. Anyways, go ahead and post!

I used an online hero creator to make a picture of what I'd make my costume look like. Just add the symbol in your head, they didn't have the GL symbol in the program I used.

It's also good to have a list of ideas for developing your character further, like how you're going to invest Rank Boosts, Archetype Points, trainer choices, etc. and if you have any particular goals (become the commander of the Green Lantern Corps, become the new Parallax or Ion, etc.)

I figured out a goal for me. Each Corp has at least one opposite, like the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps. I aim to become the opposite of the Black Lanterns, who are devoid of all emotion, devoid of all color. I will become the master of the emotional spectrum, the first White Lantern.

Sounds good. We could use the Hogyoku to break down the barrier between Green and Yellow Lantern, get you some fear-based abilities.

That does beg the question: How many colors until one breaks into the full spectrum? Clearly, you don't need to get Magenta, Cyan, Blue, Teal, Brown, Orange, Gray, Coral, Sea Green, Sea Blue, etc. rings. Probably the shades (Black and White) and the primary colors (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple/Violet, etc.) But then we'd have to figure out emotions that correspond: Courage vs. fear, anger v. serenity, something. It shouldn't be random.
Definite trainer for that: The Mandarin, Iron Man's nemesis. Gilgamesh is a good trainer too to wear 40 rings. Saruman might not be bad either, since he wanted to become the Multi-Colored; then again, Gandalf is always a good choice.

Well there are eight lantern corps. Green (Willpower/courage), Yellow (Fear), Orange (Greed), Red (Rage), Blue(hope), Indigo(Compassion), and Violet(love). It should work if I were to master all those colors then I should be able to do that. The eighth and final is of course the Black Corps which stands for the absence of all emotion.

Fair enough, that's sort of the vein I was thinking in. I would hope you wouldn't go for the Black Corps or would pass through that to the White Corps, which would be the perfect, harmonious synthesis of all emotions.

Right. And that strikes me as the order: Each emotion singularly, absence, fusion. Like the dialectical thesis, synthesis and antithesis.
So with the Hogyoku turning you into a Yellow Lantern as well, you automatically produce a yellow ring, get Yellow Lantern (1 Archetype Point), 3 Yellow Lantern abilities, and +5 Tech.
Now, the best source to begin with for new abilities is the Shikome kido Mi. The Shikome kido Mi can grant any of the basic arts of invisibility, which are: Art of Evasion, Art of Mystic Invisibility, Art of Disguise (Hensho no Jutsu), Art of Hiding, and Art of Vanishing. There's also body hardening options and spiritual zenjoriki powers.

That is true, but the big no no for a green lantern is using a ring to spread fear through the universe. They are especially miffed about it after the Sinestro wars.

Right, not to mention all the BS with Parallax, but your intent isn't to use it to spread throughout the universe. In any respect, with all sorts of new Kin popping up, formal authority is a bit harder to place. I wouldn't advertise it, but I imagine if you keep subtle you should remain under their radar.
Next, why not the elemental abilities? One from moon, one from light.

I was thinking of something to augment the abilities I have. At any rate, I've got plenty to keep me busy for a while. I'll have time to think of something while I'm pursuing the other branches of the emotional spectrum.

I recommended the lens and the Green Lantern energy mirror. The reason is that in the Szayel fight you realized that, since he had already compensated for GL energy, almost all of your attacks would not be effective. You need to be able to inflict damage through a variety of means.

Seems like a good range, but you may want to cover your psi and ki bases as well. Psychohistorians would be great for you, people like Stor Gendibal; and for ki, Iron Fist is a hoot and a holler.

That would be an excellent additional class, given the high synergy with roles, emotions, etc. And we have a lot of Jedi cred thanks to Fred and Mario's history.

I think the Jedi would frown on training me a little bit if I've already got a Yellow, Orange, or Red ring. After all Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to hate, and Hate leads to suffering. I should probably talk to them before that.

But Mace Windu, a Master, uses Rage and Fear for his power source with Vaapad. It's about mastering, not avoiding and not reveling in it. It's all about the context in which you master it.
I will note, for the sake of Star Wars fans, that the Force due to its effect of amplifying one's emotional characteristics as well as the inevitable rationalizations, defenses and corruptabilities that humans have makes this process INCREDIBLY difficult. It is easy, no matter who you are, when channeling rage or fear or sorrow or guilt or emotions with "negative valences" as we say in psychology, to lose yourself in it, lower your spirit, eliminate positive effects, etc. For a Jedi to master their full emotional spectrum, as with anyone else, they must cultivate courage, optimism, trust (but not so much uncritical trust that one can be deceived), a questioning and critical mind (but not so questioning and critical that one cannot absorb new knowledge), hope, discipline, kindness, forgiveness, reasonable usage of force, a preference for non-violent approaches at all costs, a belief in the fundamental power of good... Clearly a steep task.
Jedi may approve of you as a Green Lantern, someone channeling courage, a good thing. But they might point out that your existing training may make you too unsupple to learn something new. That is why most Jedi are younglings: To cultivate that sort of behavior, you want to start young. (And even then, apparently they started a little too late with Anakin). It might also make you arrogant. Humility is vital for a Jedi: The idea that what you think is right may not be what is called for, the idea that what you might see may be deception or illusion so you should never proceed hastily or from anger, the idea that you must be willing to admit your negative flaws and tendencies so as to safeguard against them and redirect yourself away from the Dark Side when corruption comes, etc. And channeling any one emotion, even a "good" one like courage, prevents one from possibly having the full range of human emotion, being calm and serene, etc.

Well, obviously as a White Lantern you open a lot of doors. At the moment, you may want to get a ring designed to balance out the two warring Rings, or just come up with a good "pitch" to make to any Jedi. Mace Windu and Luke are good choices due to their fairly unorthodox ideas and background; then again, Mace wasn't too excited about Anakin, and Luke moderated quite a bit as he rediscovered the heritage and the reason for some of the rules...
