The Sinestro Corps
"Beware Your Fears Made Into Light"

At its heart, the Sinestro Corps’ mission is an altruistic one: Create peace, order, and therefore prosperity throughout the endless Dunes. After witnessing the failures of the guardians first hand, Sinestro believes that there is only one emotional force that can truly control those who would bring chaos into the universe, and that emotion is Fear.

As a peacekeeping philosophy, Sinestro believes that fear will prevent people from breaking the law in the first place, and will drive those who have broken the law to turn themselves in over facing the consequences that would be brought to them if they don’t. As a governing force, he also manipulates the population into trusting him by making them afraid of a world without his lawmen.

Beyond the obvious social implications, Fear is also much more naturally abundant in a population than most of the other emotions, making it an easy emotional energy to collect and harness in his central Power Batteries which he plans on constructing near every major populated area in the Dunes.

To bolster his numbers, Sinestro finds, recruits, and indoctrinates individuals who are capable of “instilling great Fear” into his Corps. The first Central Power Battery, near the town With No Name, serves as a training and reeducation site. Individuals may choose to willingly apply for the Corps, or are unwillingly captured and hauled there.

During training, individuals are faced with their most horrible fears, and taught to embrace their own terror. During this period, they are also conditioned to respect and perhaps even revere Sinestro as their leader. Advanced tactics and combat training is given, tailored to each member's special abilities and skill sets. Most do not survive the training. Those who do, however, are granted a fantastic opportunity: Sinestro will grant them a Ring Duplicate to train with. They will learn to fight with the Yellow Light of Fear, honing and mastering their command of the emotion and the constructs they can build with it.

After graduating the training, the Corps members are sent out on various peacekeeping and "recruitment" missions within the Dunes. After a substantial tour of duty, a Corps member earns their very own Power Ring.

Bases

The Sinestro Corps Bases all share one dominating central feature: a massive Central Power Battery. Each of these batteries is over 40 feet tall, and is in the shape of the iconic "Lantern" that all Corps draw their name from. The center glows an intense yellow, representing the Yellow Light of Fear. In fact, these batteries collect and store all of the emotional energy generated from Fear in the nearby area, and then distributes it to the "full" Lanterns that serve in the area, as well as helping to power the temporary Ring Duplicates that Sinestro offers the initiates.

Locations

Town With No Name: The first location of a Central Power Battery is directly outside of the town, the giant structure ominously overlooking it. Around the base of the Power Battery is the Sinestro Corps training site, which has simple housing, several combat courses, the dreaded isolation chambers, and other buildings that help indoctrinate the Dune's foulest criminals into its finest peacekeeping force.

Members

The members of the Corps are as diverse as they are terrifying, each using their own particular style to enforce the justice that Sinestro has instilled into them. Almost all of the Sinestro Corps members are Secondaries, and will live and dies as such. The memories and knowledge that they have of their previous world were imbued by whichever Prime created them, but none currently have a standing relationship with their creators.

Currently, none of the members of the Sinestro Corps are "fully fledged," because none of them have their own Power Ring or Battery. After a substantial term of service, Sinestro will eventually fully integrate them and give them a Ring of their Own. These "Full Members" will be listed as Assists under Sinestro's Roster. For now, Sinestro will temporarily grant them a Power Ring using his Ring Duplicates.

Jaclyn was one of the members of the Brotherhood of Steel who believed that Elder Lyons had lost sight of the true mission in the Capital Wasteland. She still considers herself to be a true patriot, even this far from America. She thirsted for knowledge, and zealously collected pre-war technology, having reclaimed and repaired her own Plasma Minigun and Power Armor from ruins of society. In the Omniverse, she continues to be an expert in the field of technology and machining, building and repairing the arms and armor of the Corps members when Sinestro is unavailable to summon them. She also serves as the Corps' Lore Keeper, and librarian of their vaults. When she heard of the Sinestro Corps and saw what Sinestro's ring was capable of, she willingly admitted herself to training. In her limited free time, she travels into the dunes in search of ruins or other archeological sites in hopes of discovery.

Dezial was the bastard child of a Dornish warrior, leaving him with a last name of Sand. Inheriting nothing and living on the streets of Sunspear, he worked as a stable boy for a horse trainer on the outskirts of the city. Eventually he became a skilled rider, and joined the military as a light cavalryman, with his own Sand Steed. Eventually breaking ranks from the military, he joined a small warband which led raids on trade caravans north of Dorne. He was recruited by Sinestro only a few days after being created in the Omniverse, the rest of his warband being killed. He still owns his own Sand Steed (dark umber with a fiery red mane), and is a master with his recurve bow and spear.

Taeket was the first member of the new Sinestro Corps in the Omniverse. She lived in the Gerudo Valley Fortress which was constructed by Ganondorf, Sinestro's now banished ally, and has lived there until this point. While living in the fortress, she was put under the sadistic rulership of Enel, and though she never drew his direct attention, was effected by his depravity nonetheless. Seeing the Sinestro Corps as a way to prevent anything like that from happening to another member of her family, she set out from the village and joined immediately. She is a cold, merciless fighter, and willing to do anything she must to preserve her family and her homeland.

Canon of Origin: Destiny

Race: Exo

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 297lbs
Skin: Metallic plating
Hair: None
Eyes: Yellow Optic Light

Phantom was summoned as a Guardian as a simple training tool, not expecting the exo to demonstrate the level of prowess or guile that he did. When hedefeated the Prime that made him, he never saw him again. He was given the skills and abilities of a Hunter class Guardian, Gunslinger to be exact. His mind isn't filled with the full depth of the Destiny universe, meant only to be a dummy for target practice. With his new freedom, he continued to do the thing he was made for: fight. He quickly garnered a reputation as a duelist in the sand, challenging and killing most of the people he came across. When Sinestro heard the rumor, he found the robot, defeated him in single combat, and hauled him in for training.

The Fury doesn't talk. The Fury doesn't listen. The Fury does what she is commanded to do, and she does it very well. Hailing from the deserts near Aurora, whoever made The Fury did so for unknown reasons. Savage, deadly, and perpetually ready to kill, The Fury is the Corps' greatest Secondary warrior and is only deployed when combat is imminent. She uses a dual pair of curved blades, and a single flintlock pistol. When not letting blood, The Fury can be found wandering the training compound, or lying in wait, buried in the sands of the Dunes.

She tends to be one of the more relaxed members of the Corps, happy to share a story, chill around the campfire, or share a body in ritual cannibalism.

Changeling

[spoiler]

Canon of Origin: Star Trek: DS9
Point of Divergence From Canon: End of DS9

Race: Changeling
Sex: None
Height: Variable
Weight: Variable
Skin: Variable
Hair: Variable
Eyes: Variable

The changeling is a creature that can take almost any form you can imagine, and is almost impossible to distinguish from the real version. In its natural form, it looks like yellowish goo, and must spend at least a few hours in this liquid form every day. The vast majority of its life was spend in a planet-sized lake of creatures of the same time in a psychic bond called “The Great Link”. Stranded from its people by the war with Federation, the changeling had been hiding out as the child of a Federation officer when it was brought to the Omniverse to assist in an assassination attempt that was foiled by the Sinestro Corps. It retains the form of a child most of the time, to keep a low profile and garner the pity and prevent attacks against it.
