scarletspeed7 04/18/23 11:58:15 AM #125: | Honorable Mention: Rot Lop Fan https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/9/3/AAcguBAADlUd.png The alien who would be #123. A blind silicate-based member of the Green Lantern Corps, Rot Lop Fan has often been considered an outsider among the thousands of seeing Lanterns. Hailing from Sector 911, there are no stars that provide significant starlight. No evolution based on photosynthesis exists in Rot Lop Fans sector, which has led to the Guardians creating a sonic weapon, the F-Sharp Bell, which harnesses the emotional equivalent of green. Rot Lop Fan has found companionship in the Earth Lanterns, who themselves sometimes felt outcasts, and because of his unique Bell, he was not rendered powerless when Hal Jordan destroyed the Central Power Battery. Fan remains a loyal ally to Hal, John and especially Guy, who he considered his closest friend among the Lanterns. There's not a ton for me to say here aside from the fact that I greatly enjoy the notion of alien life being extremely removed from the human experience, so much so that the F-Sharp Bell exists. Having no sense or knowledge of sight and color, Rot Lop Fans brain doesnt have an occipital lobe and therefore more of his brain is devoted to temporal senses. The top of Rot Lop Fans head is shaped in such a fashion that his skull resonates sound, allowing him pitch perfect hearing and moreso. The F-Sharp Bell is designed to harness this limited sensation function, allowing for a protective shield and sound waves shaped into solid forms. The F-Sharp Bell also can be used to provide emotion-quelling sonic waves, as well. In any attempt to try and translate a race of eternal sightlessness, a sector of general darkness, to our notions of complete reliance on sight, by and large, for almost every daily activity, one has to leave their comfort zone and really dig into what makes the other senses work. There are so many Lanterns that provide similar opportunities - Norchavius, the sculptor Lantern, whose sense memory comes from an internal mansion of memories within their mind, a perfect photographic repository of their experiences; the extremely sensitive fronds of Olapet, whose plant-based form allows her the ability to calm any organic lifeform; even Rigid Tony, the pastoid spaghetti bowl whose confidence is unmatched and three-stage life cycle is absurd and bizarre. I relish all of these characters and all of the stories their alien cultures and biological makeups allow me to tell. Animal undrafted for this next honorable mention. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful ... Copied to Clipboard! |
