Corps 101: Indigo Tribe
DC's blog has a profile up today of the Indigo Tribe, embodiments of Compassion.




I've said it before, but I just don't think they look very compassionate. With the other Corps, the creative teams have done a pretty good job of designing members that suit the emotion they represent, but the Indigo Tribe--at least, the humanoid ones--seem very cold and almost threatening (and in the case of the leader Indigo, a little too sexy, although she looks a lot softer and kinder in this picture).

Though I guess we have absolutely no clue about these guys yet, so it might all make sense. I think it's a shame that we won't get to really see them until Blackest Night actually starts. All the other Corps have been getting a lot of development leading up to the event, which I think will make the actual story a lot stronger. But I'm sure they know what they're doing, because everything's been really good so far.

Also, interesting interview at Newsarama with Ethan Van Sciver about the look of the Lanterns. Just a snippet of what is relevant to this post:

"EVS: My ideas for the Indigo Tribe may or may not get used. We had discussions about them early on, and things change, I'm sure, as the story gets more concrete and Geoff introduces characters. But my thoughts about the Indigo Tribe were that they were the opposite, obviously, of the Orange Lanterns. The way to achieve the ability to use that power is to give all of yourself, so you would abandon everything and devote yourself to compassion. So that's why their costumes are so basic and look that way.
[...]
And I showed the staff to Geoff, and Geoff thought that was the greatest thing ever. I know that those staffs are going to stay in play. I saw an action figure that made my design look a little sexier, which wouldn't be what I would do, but I can understand the reasons for why. And they still have the staff.

I might argue that point, given that all the characters look like their emotion when viewed from a HUMAN perspective. We associate fangs and claws with the negative emotions like rage and fear, but why assume that's the norm? Tigorr of the Omega Men probably views that as "Oo-err check out the fangs on HER! Hubba hubba!". At least the Indigo, like the Green, seem to be made up of a vast array of forms and not all are human norms.

But then again, I still think the whole emotional spectrum notion is a nonsense, since we're defining emotions (which I still say willpower isn't but lets not start that again) by the precise spectrum visible to humans... it's not even the majority spectrum for EARTH inhabitants (insects tend not to see red, but do see further into the ultra violet than we do, and they outnumber humans by millions to one)

I like to think there's a rogue sect of Lanterns out there whose Ultraviolet dedication to the emotion of beastiality is unparalleled by even the Infrared Lantern's snark-powered cock rings. :)

Give them time, I'm sure the UV and IR Lanterns will be around...

Well, I guess the Ultraviolet Corps' headquarters would be an intergalactic furry tanning salon, then? And we here at S_D would be the Infrareds... :D

Interesting notion, but it doesn't look like her, so I'm guessing no, especially as Indigo was just an assumed name because of her skintone.

Nope. Would've been a bit interesting but alas.

Also hello New Indigo! I feel weird for finding her hot.

she looks like a renegade Zamorran.... or maybe the love child of a Guardian and a Zamor.... ooooooo.....

wait, let me guess. Her name is Kelda.

I was thinking that she resembled the Zamorran's as well. You may have hit on something.

Here replace the image with this one. It should show up for people more easily.

Thanks! Will do! I'm still not sure why some people can see the image and some can't, but I'm not up on my computer programming skills.

Why Kelda?

When I saw her I keep seeing her as a Monitor.

Because I like how Volstagg and Heimdall say Kelda, iz all.
No relation whatsoever...

Yikes. If a bunch of people were looking at me that way, I'd certainly hope they were the compassionate sort. Of course as pointed out, that's from a human perspective, but they look pretty uniformly chilly (even if, again, from a human perspective).

Yanno..... The Indigo is the name of a group of American Tribal Style bellydance. Now I have images of the universe saved by compassionate bellydancers....

Hm.
