Personality: John is a very disciplined man, owing to his training as both a Marine and later as a Green Lantern. His military service has had a profound effect on his life, to the extent that it carries over into his own personal life. He upholds a strict sense of professionalism, to the point of refusing to initially even engage in romantic encounters while on the League Watchtower whenever he was 'on duty'. Likewise, at home, John kept his home in order, to the extent that his girlfriends had commented on the fact he even folds his socks. Combined with his sense of duty is a strong loyalty to not only the Green Lantern Corp, but also the Justice League and the country of his origin, the United States. When it comes to fellow members of the League (or the Lantern Corp), John expects the same level of professionalism of his comrades. He has often berated the rookies or more freespirited members of the League, such as Flash and Supergirl, for their reckless antics.
John has certainly lightened up due to his time with the League. He has fallen in love with Shayera (and been betrayed), became unlikely friends with the irresponsible Flash, and learned to trust the judgment of his comrades, even when faced with his own doubts. Consequently he's been known to crack a joke a few times, socialize with his fellow league members, and use his Power Ring in more frivolous ways than he had in the past. While it's certainly true that John has learned to relax and unwind more, he can still be a hardnosed discipliner and is typically the one to take the lead when it comes to training new recruits or practicing drills for team building purposes. But in spite of his tough exterior, John still has a softer side that belies his very military attitude. When he believed himself to be responsible for the destruction of a planet, even on accident, he was willing to accept the charges against him. There's a part of him that still idolizes the heroes of the Justice Guild comics and causes him to still get choked up when watching Old Yeller again. There is also a part of him, evidenced in his own nightmares, that fears he is not the master of his Power Ring or of his own destiny and that he is just an extension of the will of other forces. Although he has confronted these fears before, they remain a part of him and he has often wondered what his life would have been like had he never became a Lantern.
The Ring: The Power Ring works as an extension of John's will, giving form to whatever he can imagine. Primarily it can be used to create solid light objects, which can be used both defensively (such as creating shields) or offensively. It also has many functions, such a personal forcefield (which he keeps active during battles), the ability to travel in space or water without he need for air (which is seemingly generated by the ring itself), or for carrying and towing groups of people or large objects. Additionally John has used it for illumination in normal light, or other types of light such as thermal or x-ray in order to detect heat signatures or see through objects. Additionally, it can be used to generate clothes of the user's own choosing to go on top of whatever John is already wearing. In spite of all this, the Ring requires recharging at least once a day (though it's possible to go without for longer than a day, John risks it running out on him at any time). In order to recharge, the ring has to take power from a Power Battery, which is usually hidden in a Pocket Dimension to prevent it from being stolen.
Physical: Being a former Marine, John has had plenty of combat training and even without the ring, has demonstrated himself to be a capable fighter both with his fists and with a gun. In spite of the fact his Ring gives him great powers, he keeps himself physically fit and would be considered to be in peak physical form.
Mental: John is very much a soldier and applies discipline into all aspects of his life. Although being a Green Lantern does require a certain code of conduct, he applied this same restraint to his duties with the Justice League despite being a relatively informal organization. As a result, John is a very focused individual and works effectively in a team as either a leader or as merely a player, easily giving orders and taking orders.
Weaknesses:
Strength: Using the ring requires constant concentration on the part of John Stewart and as a result, any more complicated constructs than simple shields can be disrupted with a powerful enough blow. Because these constructs are light turned solid, they can be broken by enough of a powerful force, which has been demonstrated to cause the Green Lantern backlash of disrupting his concentration. Because the ring requires constant concentration, being knocked out will cause all constructs (including personal forcefield) to be disabled, leaving John otherwise unprotected. The ring itself can only hold a charge for a little over a day, so failing to recharge it can be disastrous.
Mental: As a result of his military attitude, John often finds himself at odds with dealing with more carefree members of the League (or the Lantern Corp). Although his association with them has eased up some of his attitude, he still has difficulty in expressing emotion without fear of appearing unprofessional. As mentioned before, John retains some regrets on becoming a Lantern, often questioning whether he is in control of his own fate and about the other life he could have had.
John woke up in a start, suddenly aware of an aching pain in his back. Ignoring that impulse to want to just lie back down, he instead rose to his feet and took in his surroundings. It seemed Earth-like enough, with typical fauna surrounding him. It was cold and snow was on the ground, which suggested he was likely somewhere further north than simply Detroit. His hand moved immediately to his ear, expecting to activate his all too familiar comm device.
"John to Watchtower. John to-" He immediately became aware that the device had been removed. Along with his clothes, he noted as he glanced down at the mere pair of white pants that covered him. Concentrating, he willed his ring to create his uniform.
Only the uniform didn't show up. He glanced down at his unadorned hand with a frown. "I should have seen that coming." Unable to sense the ring in his immediate vicinity, so it had definitely been purposely removed. In its place, he had a journal lying in the snow in front of him. Immediately he retrieved it, giving it a precursory glance. It seemed to be full of meaningless writing, conversations of some sort, and he was about to dismiss it when he started hearing voices coming from it. That was different.
But he couldn't stay put. It was cold and icy outside and he couldn't afford to stay out too long in the clothes he was wearing. The distant sound of rushing water sounded promising enough. Where there was water, there was civilization. Tucking the journal under one arm, John began his march. Once he found a working phone or radio, he would get in contact with the League and find out what happened to his ring. Only an absolute fool would try to take the power ring that belonged to a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
1. Do you have any personal codes of morality you hold yourself to? What is it/are they?
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!
I don't just say the oath, I believe it. When it comes to justice, I believe in fair play and the due process of the government. I hold myself to those same rules.
2. If you had to choose between saving someone else's life and saving yours, which would you pick? Why?
A civilian's life comes before that of a soldier's. No question about it. If I have to lay my life down to save the lives of others, I won't hesitate.
3. How do you think you will benefit Luceti?
As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, I fully intend to make sure justice is executed within the confines of Luceti and combat evil wherever it might appear.
4. How do you think you perform in a crisis?
Like a professional. Cool headed and prepared, I don't go into a battle without having an idea of what to expect.
5. Describe what the word 'honor' means to you.
Honor is upholding the oaths you swore to and holding to them. Loyalty to your home and your team are the most important things you can have. Your own failures reflect on all of your comrades, regardless of where the blame lies.
