Nascent Drama

[The Dork Lord]

The default uniform design for humanoids was a green section covering the torso and shoulders, black arms and leggings, green boots, white gloves, green domino mask and a chest symbol of a stylized Green Lantern icon on a white circle.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Lanterns were allowed to customize their uniforms as long as the color scheme and the symbol were present.

 

[The Dork Lord]

When the nature of the being precludes a standard uniform, an equivalent arrangement is expected as a substitute.

 

[The Dork Lord]

For instance, Mogo, a sentient planet, arranges his foliage to create a green circling band and lantern symbol on his body.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Jack T. Chance, a humanoid, refused to wear a uniform, but conceded to wearing a badge on the lapel of his coat.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Lanterns were also allowed the option of a secret identity as a security measure and it is implied that the Corps were instructed to honor that choice by taking care not to expose them.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Training in the use of the ring was optional and appropriate facilities and personnel were available on Oa upon request.

 

[The Dork Lord]

In addition, a senior Lantern can be assigned to coach a recruit while in the field in their sector.

 

[The Dork Lord]

The New Green Lantern Corps being built by the Guardians is far more formal and structured than the old one that was destroyed by Parallax.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Recruits, after being found by their Power Rings, are taken to Oa for training.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Not all recruits will make it through training - indeed a great many of them might even fail, forcing the ring to find another candidate.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Lantern trainees have a simplified version of the old Green Lantern uniform (with green covering more of the torso) with the white circle on their chest blank, presumably until the Lantern insignia is added upon completion of their training.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Additionally, all Power Rings, not just Kyle Rayner's ring, now work on the color yellow, provided the user can feel the fear behind the color and overcome it.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Upon recruitment, a Green Lantern is expected to uphold certain principles of their duty.

 

[The Dork Lord]

These principles include:

 

[The Dork Lord]

The protection of life and liberty within the assigned sector.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Following the orders of the Guardians without question.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Noninterference with a planet's culture, political structure, or its population's collective will.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Acting within local laws and obeying the local authority within reason.

 

[The Dork Lord]

(Presumably, The Guardians' orders can overrule this when necessary).
