Ignar Ungluck (Birth name: N/A)
Ignar Ungluck (Birth name: N/A)
 
Source of inspiration:
 Green Lantern, lol
 

Dimensionality

 
WHY: To fight against his evil former king, Glucknar and free his brothers from the villain's clutches. To right the wrongs he himself committed throughout the universe. To honour the memory of his adopted parents.
WHAT: One of the many nameless drones of Glucknar, an alien dictator who does not allow the rest of his kind the luxury of names. Glucknarns have a high durability and great natural strength. Upon death, Glucknarns reproduce by cloning themselves. The clone is vulnerable during the early stages but soon matures and regains all memories of its previous life Killing a Glucknarn in the early stages is the only way to permanently end the creature.
WHO: After being killed by Glucknar in a rage, the clone of the Glucknarn who would become Ignar was tossed into space. Luckily, it was found by a couple, both members of the Green Lantern Corps. They raised the infant clone as their own child, well aware of where it came from, naming it Ignar Ungluck in defiance of Glucknar. When Ignar matured and regained his memories, it was a difficult time, but through his 'parents' help he was able to overcome this and joined the Green Lantern Corps, rising through the ranks to become one of the top Lanterns in the Corps.
WHERE: Ignar does not patrol any specific Space Sector anymore and is usually assigned to the most difficult jobs or to assist new recruits.
WHEN: In the present, though in his previous life Ignar lived for approximately one million Earth years.
HOW: Raised by two Green Lanterns, when Ignar was old enough he was granted his own ring and joined the Corps.

@Forgotten Angel: Actually, people won't take you as seriously if you don't use proper grammar... 
 
As for suggestions: 
Have some of your power locked away in some sort of power item...from your avatar, I would recommend a flute. 
Have your wings removed 
There's always the 'strive for redemption' card. 
Want to become a human 
 
I have more, but that's a good start.

I personally loathe that plot card, people who have power almost never want to relinquish it.  And the Flute thing sounds an awful lot like Sauron's ring.

@Mirabel: To each their own...personally I don't think it usually works well either, but sometimes people like it, and it occasionally works. 
 
As for the flute? There is a long history of powers being placed in objects. You have Pandora's box, Morpheus' gems, etc.

@Icarusflies idk if i wanna have my powers locked in away in a flute but that is a good suggestion that ill take into consideration. i like the idea about having the wings removed. For now i dont think i want my character to have a strive for redemption, i want him to remain evil. and he despises humans. thx for the suggestions.

Obsidian- It is a rock which satisfies the earth bender part, it's black which satisfies the death association, and the goodish/neutral thing is also satisfied by the black.

Haha. I disappeared for a few months. Before i did, I don't think you were a mod. You were just kicking butt as an RPGer. Or, as I call good roleplayers, Ubrpostrs.

Right then I need to make Lime Green a more serious character somehow. Hmm....I need a new origin story, what's a good excuse for why someone would be completely Lime Green and insane?

@Decoy Elite: Well, they COULD be completely insane and paint themselves Lime Green because they thought the color made them invisible to government/aliens/robots/zombies.

Sadly that wouldn't work because being Lime Green(and super strong) is his power. His strange coloring makes him hard to see without hurting ones eyes and thus attacks against him tend to be off target.

Nice! Sounds a lot better than his current origins(a parody of Joker's). Thanks for the help. :D

Even though I make characters regularly, my my this is a useful guide.  Thanks for making it, i'll have to check back here from time to time, if i need improvement on my characters.
