I actually drew this on the 4th of July, of all the odd things, but didn't get to scan or post it until today. Can't say I'm totally proud of how it turned out (I mean, Simon's neck kind of makes him look like he's part giraffe or something; plus, I can't draw his mask for love nor money,) but it was better than the initial few sketches of him I tried.

WALL OF TEXT HEADCANON TIME!
Simon Baz was the fifth man to receive a Green Lantern power ring in his universe, Earth-52. He was chosen by a very unique ring that had been worn extensively by both the former renegade Sinestro, and corps. hero, Hal Jordan. The ring had been so saturated in use by both men that it chose Simon both because he has the ability to overcome great fear, but he is also capable of instilling and using the power of fear itself (though to a far lesser degree than any full-fledged Yellow Lantern.) The ring chose Simon at a critical time for his universe: the Guardians had descended into a strange madness and were hell-bent on a mission to assimilate all living, thinking beings into their "Third Army" in order to control their universe. It was believed that all the Guardians had fallen to this madness, with the exceptions of those Guardians still in touch with their emotions, who had been imprisoned eons ago, and Sayd, who was slaughtered before she could tell Ganthet she loved him. The Third Army spread rapidly, and soon the Green Lanterns began to fall.
Simon however, was contacted unexpectedly by Scar, the brilliant-yet-mad female Guardian who allied herself with the Black Lantern Corps. Much like the late Guardian Krona, Scar is driven by unknown motivation toward mysterious goals, and believes that Simon is more important than he realizes, and that the other Guardians must not know of his rise to the rank of a Green Lantern. Scar believes it is too late to save their own universe; that it will eventually become a dead zone, devoid of any true life, and transports Simon, his parents, and his sister and brother-in-law across the parallel oceans of stars, telling him they may yet "meet" again.
In this new universe, Simon is met with parallel mirrors of the Justice League of his own Earth. After some initial hesitancy, much discussion, and intervention on the parts of the current Earth Lanterns (Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner) of this new universe, Simon's family is safely relocated and helped to settle in somewhere while Simon is readily inducted into the Green Lantern Corps. proper. While he still is hesitant and awkwardly uncomfortable in the presence of the Corps., John Stewart and Guy Gardner encourage him to ditch his mask, reminding him that nobody knows him in this universe, so he has no reason to fear or hide his face. Simon agrees reluctantly, though he is still given to letting his uniform create its mask often while on missions.
Simon has a rather quiet, reserved manner about him, and tends not to trust people too quickly or easily. He is less likely to rush headfirst into a situation than Guy or Hal, but prefers to analyze things a bit more and keep on his guard, like John and Kyle. He often has trouble concentrating on using his ring (and even trusting the ring, too!) in order to form constructs, but when in the middle of a fight with his life or someone else's life on the line, he is able to form full constructs with barely more than instinct. His constructs generally take the form of some sort of land vehicle; this is likely due to criminal activity on his part in his universe, where Simon boosted hot cars for a greedy car-salesman employer (to prevent his family from being hurt.) As such, Simon has additional skills used in boosting cars, and has excellent potential as a professional thief. He avoids straying into that sort of behavior again, partly due to not wanting to disappoint or upset his family, and partly due to not wanting to disappoint or upset the other Earth Lanterns, (who he's warming up to, albeit somewhat slowly.)

The sole purpose of this project is to be informative for friends, fellow fans, and the readers of my writing to have better insight into what the DC universe and in this case, members of the Green Lantern Corps. and likewise other Lantern Corps., are like in my mind and how that translates into my fan work. This is my own personal take on the character of Green Lantern Simon Baz, which is based off of his depiction in the current New 52 comics, with adjustments made accordingly, as I dislike immensely the concept of the Guardians trying to snuff out all life in order to control the universe. This headcanon is not meant to offend or upset anyone who likes that concept, but to give them a better idea of how my headcanons work and how they affect my fanfiction writing.
