Summer Mersion

Summer Mersion is a character role-played by CathFawr.

General Description
She is a member of the Mersion Family, a member of Yokai, & a retired OG for The Families.

Summer drives a 1/1, engine swapped S Class Lampadati Pigalleundefined, which was left to her in the will of David Chris (played by the late itsStarkey, who passed away on the 16th May 2020) two years ago, after he was killed by Roman Sionis. The car was held in customs for a long time after the economic crash, before eventually being returned to her by Jim Underwood on May the 16th 2022. Understandably, the Pig is priceless and irreplaceable to her.

Mersion Motors
After a long drug binge spent in San Francisco, Summer returned to Los Santos after the great economic crash with nothing to her name except a taxi-cab. In these difficult times, Summer started Mersion Motors as she tried to figure out her next move. Early on, she spent quite a bit of time with Igor Skovacic, who tried offering her a job at Hayes Auto Body Repairs, given her history with vehicle repair, which she declined, as she wanted to move forward from her past. She would spend the first few days figuring out her next move, while also driving people around the city, where she was privy to conversations, information and decent tips. She also was hired at the Digital Den by Erin Cox, where she sold phones to the public for a brief time.

1: Shadow OG to OG
As Summer was driving around, picking up side gigs and passengers, she also reconnected with a few groups and associates that she knew previous, one of those being The Families. Summer and Dexx Martin had a close relationship from her QuickFix and Lawyer days, and was very well-respected by him and members of the gang. She was brought into the Families and worked security at the Vanilla Unicorn Strip Club, all the way until the government shutdown of the building for code violations. Summer spent a lot of time during that VU hiatus patrolling GSF territory at night for any criminals trying to break into homes in their neighborhood, along with any other GSF member around. It was in these days that Summer demonstrated her loyalty and dedication to the Families, and she had her shadow OG status upgraded to full OG on March 22nd, 2021undefined.

2: Meth Mommy
Summer's OG status meant that she had joined the GSF council of leadership, as GSF OG's all had equal say in major decisions. She started using these powers early on, blooding in Lavante Lamano as a G. Summer's old contacts came in handy for GSF as well, as she helped broker a deal between GSF and the Lost MC to sell the Lost's strain of meth on Forum Drive. In the early days of meth, Summer singlehandedly sold meth on Forum to build up the coffers of The Families, running the One Stop Hood Shop convenience store out of her van as a cover. The early strands of meth made their consumers a little too crazy though, and there were numerous car accidents and issues. Summer enlisted the help of a tow truck, and after long hours together dealing with the issue, Summer saw fit to blood in the truckundefined, The Green Yoinker.

3: Retirement
After many months of dealing with the Families internal and external issues and embodying her unofficial/official title of Hood Diplomatundefined, Summer finally decided to take a step back from the Families and retire as it has been decided that OGs of the Families can do as such without risking getting blooded out, given the position they have been able to achieve within the Families through their past contributions. She remains a blooded member of the Families, but with no obligation to participate in any business good or bad, and to the wider city she is "out."

Yokai
As Summer, going under the alias June on the racing scene at the time, delved deeper into racing and boosting she formed stronger friendships with members of Yokai - a racing crew inspired by Japanese spirits, legends and demons. These friends put Summer's name forward as a potential recruit to their leader, Shinigami. Unaware of Summer's presence in the racing scene, Shinigami requested that she spend more time with the crew to determine her suitability.

On June 3rd 2022, Summer was invited into Yokai and initiated by racing on the Hyakki Yagyō track with the crew. After finishing 3rd and posting the 5th fastest lap time; Summer was gifted her katana by Shinigami in a ceremony at the docks. The importance of the katana and the responsibilities that come with it were outlined, with the threat of death at these docks if it was sold. Bakeneko loaned her a jacket to use while her custom one was tailored.

Summer chose Onryō as her Yokai, a vengeful and wrathful spirit.

The initiation was interrupted by Earl, a Puppet; who had arrived to collect the Tuner Shop's 50,000 GNE payment for the Puppet Master. The Yokai escorted two vans filled with GNE sticks from the Tuner to a location in Sandy Shores. Once there, Earl gave Onryō a pipe bomb to destroy the GNE. With no hesitation she blew up the vans, wiping millions of dollars from the economy.

Earl gave them another assignment - to deal with a booster that was drawing suspicion by tweeting about boosts as "homework".

The next day, Onryō proved herself to Shinigami, saving her from the police during a "10-Yokai". Shinigami had just defeated Goofy in a 1v1, but crashed out while being pursued by SRU. As Lt. Casterman tackled her, and was about to cuff her, Onryō arrived and scooped her from the his clutches, eventually resulting in Shinigami's escape.

On June 6th, the Yokai were contacted by Earl, requesting another 50,000 GNE delivery to his brother Unit; another puppet. As they arrived at the drop off near North Chumash, a Cargobob flew in and hijacked one of the vans. Yokai pursued, and Onryō shot the pilot through the open door, causing him to crash in a ball of flame.

Onryō pulled the pilot out of the burning wreck, but was instructed by Unit to leave the body behind. Onryō took out her katana and cut off the pilots head to send a message to whoever tried to steal the GNE.

The commotion attracted the attention of PD who begun pursuing Bakeneko at the initial drop off site. Yokai attempted to save her from cuffs, but were unfortunately too late. They then turned their attention to Onryō, chasing her until her car was disabled and had to be abandoned. Raiju rescued her and dropped her of at Hayes Autos to lie low.

Summer made her Onryō mask out of the pilot's skull. The canine teeth have been replaced with two bullets. Her mask is covered with phrases in kanji which can appear in three different colours indicating Onryō's intent - a glowing red being the most violent.

She immediately leant into this Yokai, repeatedly calling members of the Street Racing Unit to taunt them with a death rattle; symbolic of the dead and vengeful nature of Onryō themselves. She is also known to taunt other racers with her spiritbox. In a message for Oliver Fury, she showed off her outfit and car, telling Lily Pond "June is dead. Long live Onryō".
