Elias "Summer" Lindahl

Elias "Summer" Lindahl is the leader of the Summer Raiders, a gang located in New Sweden, A Member of the Season Coalition and the New World Order.

Appearance
Summer often wears his Flamerig, a suit of armour that only he is deemed worthy to wear. It features a skeletal mask with tinted goggles for eyes, a gigantic back-mounted tank of oil with multiple religious sigils, bangles, necklaces and artefacts strapped to him, with the text: “LONG LIVE SUMMER” written on the chest of the uniform. Above the oil tanker is two burning touches suspended above each of his shoulders which are constantly ablaze and between those two is a large flag, displaying the insignia of the gang, being a cartoonist depiction of a sun in a circle.

Beneath his clothing he is a well built, muscular man covered in burn marks on his shoulders, forearms, back, chest and thighs. He has a young face with burn marks scarring his lower jaw. He has burning, long orange hair that goes to his mid back that is braided about his head.

Personality
Summer is an unhinged and psychotic man, he takes great joy in burning things or letting himself be burnt, considering he views himself as flame incarnate. Summer shows incredibly love and kinship with his comrades and gang members and despises those who would destroy his brothers and sisters.

Summer despises Winter the most out of the seasons, for his usage of water and ice in his weaponry and he believes Winter is weak for being so calm, collected and contained as opposed to Summer’s loud, wrathful, overprotective personality. Summer hates Spring for his obsession with saving people and rescuing people from death, as Summer believes death by fire is a final, glorious death sentence that should never be interrupted.Summer hates Autumn the least out of the other Seasons, it is only limited to an annoyance rather than a passionate hatred. Summer finds Autumn’s quiet, secretive combat style, he finds it annoying and not in good sport, he prefers combat to be blatant and in the open, whereas Autumn is far more reclusive with his kills.

History
Summer was born in Stockholm and was considered a child of flame because of his bright orange hair, from there his parents gave him a tribal and religious upbringing, regularly burning him to test if his fire immunity had developed, at first Summer despised it but when the pain began to weaken, due to his destroyed nerve ending, Summer found the experience liberating and empowering. Summer views his mother and his father as brilliant educators and teachers, giving him a perfect upbringing whilst others are terrified of him and his family. Summer’s parents died in a house fire thirteen years after Summer was born though, Summer walked from the flames unscathed.

Summer then set about his gang, recruiting others to follow him through fire and many obliged, finding it gave them a place of community and togetherness where they previously had none. Summer then met his rivals, Autumn and Winter, during the same occasion, The Seasons Campaign. Summer fought with the two leaders, getting defeated by their superior drive and skill, it was this defeat that motivated Summer to grow in skill, weaponry and numbers until he had a clan worthy of their name. They continued this conflict together for the next decade, within which Spring arrived to the fray, bringing his arrogant, miracle making superiority, infuriating the others, continuing the war further. The war was concluded by the work of a single Postwoman of the Stockholm Delivery Service, bearing the latest news of Yellowstone’s eruption and the collapse of the Religion of Justice, two gigantic happenings in human history.

Considering the majority of their conflicts had religious motives, upon realising that religion was to their downfall the conflict stopped with a peace treaty and they traveled with the Postwoman to journey to North Scotland, while there, Summer was one part in the Four Seasons Coalition, formed after the conflict, once their conflicts had been resolved he heard the voice: “Well done, we are proud” in his head, ignoring it he continued about his business. The one, large group journeyed then to London, to spread the word of the collapse of the Religion of justice, there Summer, Autumn, Spring and Winter met Naomi, there she guided them to the New World Order, where they pledged themselves to their cause and for a bright, Secular future.
