Prince Avalon/ Blue Lantern 2813
Avalon is the crown prince of planet Mogura and is the youngest of three children. After his planet had been invaded Avalon had joined one of the resistance groups and helped to finally liberate his people.

His sector partner in the Green Lantern Corps is his childhood friend Damas Vigrid.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Not so much Pretty Boy given that he’s shown to have a well-toned body. He also happens to be shirtless on top of that.

- Space Elves: Type I. All Mogurans have pointy ears and blue skin.

At a young age he was accepted into one of the planet’s most elite schools and it was there that he would go on to meet prince Avalon and form a powerful friendship. The two had become nearly inseparable. Many years later Damas had joined Avalon in helping to defeat the invaders from their home world. In the final confrontation Damas had finally let go of his fears and it was at that moment that a green power ring chose him. He is now the Green Lantern of sector 2813, with Prince Avalon being his Blue Lantern sector partner.

Helia Arugante / Green Lantern 2814. 5
Born and raised in Aquarius, Helia was used to always getting what she wanted from her loving parents. Rather than being grateful to her kind folks Helia grew into a horrible spoiled brat who would go on to bully others she deemed inferior to herself. Deep down she had the potential to do good and overcome fear, hence why she was chosen to be a Green Lantern. Rather than taking it as a second chance to improve herself, Helia instead got worse and would go on to insult anything that moved long enough. Her stuck-up demeanor would be put to the test after she got paired up with Blue Lantern Val Halen.
- Hidden Depths: She was chosen to be a Green Lantern for a reason. Helia has the capacity to better herself but that has yet to be seen.
- Irrational Hatred: Her biggest targets are the Blue Lanterns. To her they shouldn't even be considered a real corps and calls them leeches for being dependent on Green Lanterns.
