This creature is my own creation.

Trimental, Regulating

What stands before you appears vaguely humanoid, though significantly taller than any humanoid race you have heard of. A bluish hue permeates its form, which seems to be composed of equal parts machine and flesh. Vines - green-blue in coloration - wrap about the creatures limbs, while gears and pistons protrude from its back, whirring and pumping. A translucent, shimmering field of energy surrounds it, swathes of silver, blue, and green color swirling about each other in fractal patterns.

A regulating trimental is a triune elemental, composed of the Forces of Technology, Blue, and Nature. Their means of formation are unknown, though it is supposed that - in the event of a location with strong enough Force saturation of Technology, Blue, and Nature - such a creature could be a "natural" result of such saturation.

Regulating trimentals are actively hostile towards all creatures. If given a choice of targets, they will prefer to attack creatures with Force alignments before those unaligned, but will attack regardless of a creature's particular Force alignment: even a creature that shares a Force alignment with it will be attacked. Regulating trimentals seem to show preference for targets that have the impossible status.

It is believed that regulating trimentals come in four "ages": coalescent, formative, destructive, absorptive. These four ages reflect what is believed to be the "life-cycle" of a triune elemental; the longer a triune elemental has existed, the more powerful it becomes, at an alarming rate of growth.

Regulating trimentals are capable of comprehending all known languages, much as a memental. Whether or not they can communicate has not been determined; all noted instances of such creatures have refrained from communicating in any meaningful way.

Combat

A regulating trimental has access to all devices, memes, and gifts, of all relevant groupings (fields, suites, etc), within the traditional scales of power relevant for these Forces. It is known that any regulating trimental of formative age or older also has access to abilities within its composite Forces that transcend the traditional scales of power. While its access to lower-level abilities seems unlimited (as with all force elementals), it is unknown whether or not their access to "epic" abilities is limited in some fashion.

Regulating trimentals have an incredibly aggressive response to effects with the impossible descriptor when used in their presence, and in all recorded instances of this occurring the creature immediately responded by simultaneously invoking the effects of the relevant device, meme, and gift to counteract such an effect.

Regulating trimentals produce a field of Force energy that is incredibly disruptive to opposed Forces and strengthening to its composite Forces. The effects of this disruption range from reduced effective Force-user level to complete lack of access to a given Force. The nature of a regulating trimental seems to be such that the unified approach of its composite Forces to their respective Trinities seems to increase its own Force Resistances to opposed Forces; the field of energy the creature produces seems capable of not just causing effects it resists to dissipate, but to potentially absorb some fragment of the effect into itself (perhaps leading to the trimental morphing into a different trimental, or becoming unstable and discorporating), or even reflecting the effect back unto its source.

Lore

This creature has existed insufficiently long in Trinity's history to have been studied sufficiently for knowledge of their abilities to be widespread. While basic knowledge regarding triune elementals as a whole is possible, specifics are greatly lacking. A learned Force-user can perhaps guess at the abilities, nature, or other aspects of such a creature, but such information is best-guesses and should not be taken as hard fact.

An individual able to observe a regulating trimental may attempt a Knowledge (Memetics), Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (Technology), or Knowledge (The Forces) check to make a guess about the creature's abilities, nature, or other aspects. No result under 35 (or 40 for a Knowledge [The Forces] check) will yield useful results, and even a useful result may turn out to be inaccurate.

Summoning Regulating Trimentals

Regulating trimentals cannot be summoned by any known effect of any Force.
