Okay so the Lantern League is gonna be made of up Olive and Safiyah, and then my two new guys

First is Tae-Hyun Rayner, his mother was a Korean superhero that Kyle met on a mission, and they fell in love and had Tae. But Tae’s like gonna have a whole soft boy/fem boy thing going, he wears pastels and skirts, but only uses he/him pronouns. But he’s super artistic and sweet like his dad, and follows what he believes

Then Jett Jordan is Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris’ edgy son, he’s gonna be heavily based on Jim Hawkins, he’s rebellious and adventurous but extremely intelligent and would be valedictorian if he applied himself, but he’d rather do his own thing than follow the basic structure of life

Okay so Elazar’s gonna get a redemption arc, and he’s gonna replace Tae-Hyun on the Lantern League

So basically he was only a villain because he just felt pure rage towards everyone and everything, especially against heroes cause none of them helped him when his family was executed and he was sold off into slavery, and he had to get himself out of the situation. And he was just mad at the universe for how he was treated, he just didn’t know what else to do but feel angry all the time

So like, Olive, Safiyah and Jett were fighting him all the time cause he kept attacking Coast City and places in space as revenge, but eventually they realized Elazar was simply lonely and scared and didn’t have a direction to go, so them and the adult Lanterns offered to help him and they were the first people (besides Chase of course) to show Elazar kindness and acceptance, so he agreed to learn from them

Safiyah is Muslim-Arab like her mother was, and also being half black, she’s a huge activist in her community. Whether it’s for climate change, animal rights, feminist riots, racial equality, she’s there and she’s already made posters and has her speaker to help herself and others be heard over anyone who’s oppressing them. So like Tae-Hyun and Jett will help her make posters while they’re having their little Lantern meetings, meanwhile Olive will go to the protests with her and yell angry Scottish at the police that try to stop the protest

I’m also gonna base Safiyah off both Karen from DC Superhero Girls, and Ms. Marvels friend Nakia cause I HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HER SHES SO BEAUTIFUL

But like she’s gonna be more nervous in general, like she’s trying to be cautious meanwhile she’s working with a bunch of hard headed idiots. Olives not looking before she leaps, Jetts running into fire, and Tae-Hyun’s just skipping as he follows behind them and she’s all “GUYS WE NEED A PLAN! AT LEAST AN IDEA! GUYS? GUYS! COME ON-“

Jett is actually 19 but still in high school (he kept getting held back-), so like all 4 lanterns go to Coast City High together (Olive and Tae-Hyun are sophomores, Safiyah’s a junior and Jetts a super senior lol). He does work at a car shop after school, then Safiyah and Tae-Hyun are baristas at a little coffee shop, meanwhile Olives obviously a waitress at Olive Garden

But they meet up at the coffee shop a lot, and I’m thinking they’ll have a Lantern Hideout like in DC Superhero Girls’ at Sweet Justice
