| “ | Everyone’s got a plan... until they take a flamethrower to the face. | ” |
Summer is one of the hunters in the game Crucible.
Description[]
Summer can use her fiery abilities as often as she likes…until her custom twin flamethrowers overheat and momentarily shut down. A little risk keeps things interesting, right?
Background[]
Summer Iolana was supposed to take up the family business: spaceship construction in one of the galaxy’s biggest shipyards. Unlike her siblings, though, Summer was bored by welding in zero-g…and fascinated by a secretive fight club in a hollowed-out asteroid nearby. At the Breaker Club, construction tools were fair game as weapons, and some of the belt’s toughest brawlers were mixing it up every night. Before long, Summer was sneaking out to fight in the arena with juiced-up welding torches. Every victory filled her with joy, and every loss fueled her drive to get better. She modified her welding torches into flamethrowers, trained every waking moment, and became the Breaker Club’s undisputed champion. Then Summer sought a new challenge: Crucible, where she heard the galaxy’s greatest fighters are gathering.
Personnel file[]
"Summer is first and foremost an athlete and thrill-seeker. Hunting Essence on Crucible provides those thrills in abundance.
Relentlessly cheerful, she sometimes rubs the other hunters the wrong way — for Summer, they’re competitors, not enemies.
Like any athlete, she’ll seek out whatever competitive edge she can find. She wants Essence as badly as the others, but for Summer, Essence isn’t a route to riches. It’s a way to keep score."
- Lawrence Tibolt, Commander, Crucible Orbital Station
