A handsome young man, Dana has the facial structure of his father and most of the coloring of his mother, most notably her red hair and green eyes. He has freckles on his shoulders and a few across the bridge of his nose with a smattering of them trailing off onto his cheeks on either side. A life-long martial artist, Dana treats his body as a temple and cares for it in great detail. He usually keeps his hair fairly short, though, like his father, there's almost nothing he can do to it to keep it from having a certain untamed nature. He just generally looks a little scruffy because of that. Nevertheless, he still manages to be fairly sharp in appearance. His 'bad-ass' hair (as his sister, Moira, calls it) notwithstanding.

Dana generally just sticks to simple, light clothing. Jeans and t-shirts, sneakers. Nothing too fancy despite the ungodly number of formal outfits his mother insists on stocking his closet with. (Not herself, of course. She's too busy for that. But she has a woman who sees to everyone's wardrobes.) Such are the demands upon a politician's son -- always be in a suit... or at least pretend you always are. He does have some light clothes he wears whenever he goes to the monastery, though that's really just because he feel uncomfortable in his normal attire at the monastery. He prefers lighter, airier clothes when he visits there.

Solat Fa's Ring of Oa:
History: The second of a pair of twins, Dana is the first son of Elizabeth Emoto (named for her adoptive father, Emoto Kenji. As best as they can tell, she is Irish by birth) and Jimmy Richter, son of Doyle Richter, the famed industrialist. Dana spent his earliest years living in his mother's law office in New York City. By then, she was lesser court judge in good standing. However, that was no place for a pair of energetic twins, so eventually Liza elected to ask her father, Kenji, to babysit during the day. With the assistance of a fair few disciples at his monastery, Kenji agreed.

Dana immediately took to the monastery in a way that Moira, his twin, never did. She enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the law offices that had been their first day care, but Dana preferred the peace, quiet, and wild of the monastery with its semi-countryside surrounds. When they grew old enough to make due with the care of the maid, Moira took to staying at home while Dana would return to the monastery daily. One of his favorite things to do there was watch his grandfather practice in the morning and again in the afternoon his Karate. This very apparent interest eventually inspired Kenji to begin training him to give him something to do while he was there. It wasn't long before Dana resembled more a disciple than the master's grandson. When he started attending school, Dana's schedule daily changed considerably, of course. He would attend school (usually with good marks) and then spend the rest of the afternoon until his mother (or their driver, George) came to pick him up at the Monastery. But by and large, his daily activities didn't change all that much.

By the time Dana was twelve, his mother's position had elevated to that of Supreme Court Judge. New York State was her new responsibility and she took it quite seriously. His father, meanwhile, was celebrating his own elevation to U.S. Senator. It would prove to be a catalyst for a great rift to form in the family. As his father's power increased, so too did his single-minded careerism. He might have forgotten he had a family at all if it weren't for the fact he slept in the same house with them. Dana wasn't unaware of the incredible stress it put on his parents' marriage. It became a concern even for the twins.

And then came Jimmy Jr. At fourteen, Dana and his sister were surprised to find they had a baby brother on the way. It seemed at first that it would be a boon to heal the relationships within the family. However, after about a year, it all started over again. His father was re-elected. At the same time, his grandfather, Doyle, stepped down as chairman of Richter & Ballard Incorporated, leaving the company to Jimmy personally. R.B.I. wasn't just a manufacturing company, however. It owned large portions of Hammer Industries and Graymane International, a private military company with a horrifying reputation. Dozens of other companies were either publicly or privately owned by R.B.I. Over night, Jimmy became one of the most powerful men in the world, the majority leader of the U.S. Senate, and a man with his own private army of mercenaries. Riding public sentiment against superheroes and the destruction their fights inflict on the cities of the country, Jimmy also became one of the most popular senators with the right wing.

Dana lapsed into an internal conflict. He didn't have the power or the influence to change his father. Even his mother couldn't do that. But he couldn't escape the fact that his family, for all their wealth and power, was falling apart. However, at sixteen, something incredible happened to Dana while he sat in meditation before the statue of Buddha in his grandfather's monastery -- a glowing green ring found him.

In the space of a month following that incredible event, Dana's every thought about the world around him was challenged. He had never before lent much thought to what life on other planets was like, what the worlds beyond his own were struggling with. It was simply not a concern in his life until 312 found him. Within moments of being found by the ring, he stood on the surface of Oa. His new fraternity of Lantern brothers and sisters were surprised by his selection. Never before had a ring selected someone so relatively young (considering the life cycle of his species) and someone so distant from the proper territory of the ring which had selected him. There was much debate as to whether or not to allow him to be a Lantern at all. However, though some tried to defy the will of 312, the ring refused to be parted from Dana. And so it was that Dana became Green Lantern 2814.4.

Initially, he was trained as all Green Lanterns are trained by the incomparable Kilowog. The unforgiving mode of Kilowog's training was overwhelming at first. But soon Dana grew used to it. He leanred to anticipate his teacher's moves. And then it all changed again. Sinestro, leader of the Corps and one of the strongest opponents of Dana's acceptance into said organization subjected Dana to the harshest training he could conceive of. It was training which almost killed him, much to the indignation of the other Lanterns of Earth, Hal Jordan and John Stewart. After nearly two weeks spent on Oa, Hal managed to convince the guardians to allow him to remove Dana back to Earth for his training. It was agreed and Hal was named Dana's new trainer, responsible for teaching him to use his powers.

When Dana returned to Earth, a necessary fiction was forged that he'd been kidnapped by political opponents of his father and then rescued accidentally by the Justice League during the course of a mission with a separate objective. It explained why he was missing and where he had been, but it did nothing to placate the abject fear his family had been subject to during his absence. Guilty, Dana sought the guidance of the only man he knew wouldn't doubt or reveal him -- Kenji.

Whatever he thought his grandfather's reaction might have been, he was wrong. Kenji didn't know what to think of it all initially. However, he eventually gave Dana the one piece of advice which has sustained him in times good and bad ever since: "You are a kind and caring soul, Dana. Do not let this power change you and you can be sure that what feels right in your heart is right in truth."

Today, Dana fights alongside his fellow Lanterns and their allies to protect the world from evil... no matter how close to home it might be.
