Season Siblings

"Believe us when we say we're not your average heroes. We aren't the knights in shining armor you've dreamed of.  We're just way too self-indulgent for that.  However, there's lots and lots of baddies out there way worse than we are.  Like it or not, we know the difference between good and evil, between who's right and who's wrong.  Now, granted, we've done some pretty bad stuff.  Not totally evil, but nothing most decent people would ever do.  It's what got us stranded all the way out here on some waterlogged rockball in some backwater star system.  The same one people like you call home.  Despite all that, we also know that what we did then and what we do now was, and still is, a far cry from some of the nastier jerks out there. That's what makes us the good guys here. We're not perfect or ideal, far from it, but we're better than nothing."

The Season siblings, also known as Team Season, or the Elite Seven, are the anti-heroic titular protagonists of the action/comedy superhero series Team Season, which includes the original webcomic Team Season with Superpsion and the Seasonverse novels. They are the children of August and April Season, and both they and their parents are Spherimals, aliens from the distant planet of Spheron. Team Season consists of 19-year-old Autumn (center top right), 18-year-old identical twins Eclipse (center bottom left) and Equinox (top far right), 16-year-old fraternal twins Spring (bottom far right) and Winter (center top left), 15-year-old Solstice (top center), and 13-year-old Summer (bottom far left). Though they would normally be fairly decent, each of the siblings is host to one of the seven fragments of the soul of the demon Merulith Azazel, princess of hell, as well as one of the seven Watchers, mad angels who are not truly loyal to either heaven or hell, which afflict each of them with one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Though the Team Season prequel canon duology, which consists of the spin-off novel Lochindorb: Destiny Into Darkness and its sequel novel, Immortals, help to establish Team Season's origins, Team Season themselves do not play a major role in either novel, instead appearing only briefly during a scene at the end of Immortals, which depicts their initial arrival on Earth, with the angel Michael Clearwater witnessing the ship landing, and contemplating about what it might mean for him and his girlfriend Merulith.

Originally residents of Spheron and notable members of the civilization established there, the Season Siblings fell out of the graces of the Spheron Elders, an organization devoted to maintaining order and decency and eradicating sin on Spheron and, to some extent, its moons. They were banished from their homeworld, and must now earn their way back by defeating a variety of threats that include monsters, ghosts, and Meta-Villains. They face scores of these enemies on a near-constant basis, but their primary adversary is the mastermind revenant supervillain Lord Lochindorb. (Note that the top far left of this poster is occupied by Valentine Masterson, and Peter Minella occupies the bottom center right.) The Season Siblings are fairly erratic and have very little respect for rules. They are occasionally referred to as the Chaos Kids. The Season Siblings are the sworn enemies of the Royals.

The siblings were summoned to the Temple of Spheron on a day that the comet known as the Falling Angel passed through the Geometrica system, eventually colliding with one of the outer gas giants, and exploding in its upper atmosphere with the force of approximately 200,000 Tsar Bombas. The comet was visible from Spheron, but its moons were orbiting behind the planet, which blocked the comet from view. The explosion was visible from the opposite side of the system, and was almost as bright as a fourth sun in the skies of Spheron and its moons. The people of Spheron muttered, "This is an evil sign!" Because Team Season were banished on that day and because of the comet, the day became known in legend as "The Day The Angels Fell". At the Temple, they were informed that they had committed heinous acts of sin and had to redeem themselves. The siblings were given a cursed drink that transformed them into humans, as well as special enchanted weapons. The siblings were then put on a ship and deported 500 light-years to Earth as punishment. Once there, they were told that they were not allowed to return to Spheron until they could amass enough Hero Points to buy their way back home. The siblings have been stranded on Earth ever since, where they have met Valentine and Peter. In this way, the Season siblings represent fallen angels, and are meant to be metaphorically analogous to Lucifer and the demons who were cast out of Heaven.
