Regis are elemental beings, their bodies consist of the element they represent, whether a clustered heap of rocks or a compact, blocky yet almost crystallized stack of ice. They all share a few common characteristics, they seem to have a language made up of beeps, electronic croaks, rapid sputtering of the word "Regi" in an almost robotic tone as well as flashing patterns in their eyes, of which all of them have seven of (in exception of Regigigas).
History[edit]
The Regis are a proud and powerful race, one of devotion yet of neutrality. All Regis were created by Regigigas the mighty, whom he had been created by forces of which can only compare to Arceus. With his indomitable strength it is said he pulled apart the continents in the early days of creation, why he spread them apart can only be left to theory for no written records existed to verify this. It’s is also said that Regigigas also created life, one Régi for every type, serving as guardians to the earth as their king slumbered for millennia and beyond. As time passed and as the realm was subjugated to threat after threat, one Regi fell after another, we count today only five remaining... they wait for the day their king re-awakens, they wait until his cry calls for them once more.
Society[edit]
Regis don’t really have a “society” per say, instead they function in an almost hive mind, when Regigigas is asleep, luckily, they appear mostly docile as long as not disturbed, they appear conscious and aware and have a sense of self. However, once their king awakes their attitudes rapidly shift from docile to aggressive and almost robotic, they are compelled to comply with any orders decreed by their king and are drawn to Regigigas by some mystical bond. They all view Regigigas as the one true king of this world and that no god other than Arceus should have the right to negate his commands. This is their belief and it is inscribed within their psyche. They exist to protect as they exist to destroy.

Son of Gigas[edit]

Rock[edit]
The fearless leader of the Regis, Regirock is strong yet slow with a much more apparent attachment to nature and it’s many wonders. It is believed to be the first of its brethren, making Regirock’s loyalty and courage unwavering at the hand of any threat. It is said that on the day of awakening, Regirock will climb to the tip of the tallest mountain and give a loud cry, signaling to the world the return of the Titanous King and warning them of the events about to unfurl, hordes of creatures and monsters alike will flee from their lands and seek refuge. In ancient legends Regirock is called The Stone Emissary for the vital role it plays in warning the world of its master’s return.

Ice[edit]
Regice Is often considered to be wary of other creatures, preferring to isolate itself within the icy peaks of frozen mountains. Wherever it goes, winters will follow like moths to an icy flame. It’s isolation isn’t limited to other creatures though, it will actively avoid other Regis if their paths come to cross and it is always the last Regi to appear when Regigigas sends out its call. It is heavily disinterested in aiding others and prefers its life of seclusion and harmony above all else. Legends have often described it being wary and distasteful of humanity as well reluctant in trusting other creatures. This makes it disliked by the other Regis, they see it as cowardice, it sees it as practicality and logical reasoning. It’s body is said to be so cold that even magma does practically nothing to it.

Steel[edit]
Registeel is similar to Regirock in many ways, they value loyalty and value and wander the world in search for their master, however, Registeel enjoys the company of other creatures (unlike most of its brethren) and will often come aid in times of need, fending off invaders, helping clear away debris and rocks in case of mountain slides, it will even actively save people if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, this doesn’t change the effect of Regigigas’s cry. Legends have often depicted Registeel as a true guardian...

Eleki[edit]
Regieleki is by far the most feared of the Regis as well as the youngest, its chaotic energy and general disregard for the well-being of creatures and nature and nature alike, it can’t help it’s destructive tendencies but neither does it stop itself, it even takes enjoyment in its acts. This is why it was harnessed with a metallic armor that no magic can remove in order to dilute its power. Now it searches for a way to remove the plating but only the other Regis hold the key to its freedom, it hunts them down in search of the key, often siding with other creatures to help it defeat its stronger brethren, often needing to conceal its cruelty to do so.

If they stay within 10 feet of you, you may use a bonus action to deal 1d10 lightning damage, but cannot use your reaction to shock another.
Drago[edit]
Regidrago is as loyal as it is prideful. Similar to Regice, Regidrago finds solace when alone but it doesn’t mind the presence of humans as much as it’s colder brethren, although, it utterly despises draconian creatures, feeling intense jealousy towards them and often wishing them harm regardless of reason. Regidrago has always been considered to be dangerous and sinister as it’s hubris is it’s prime weakness and it feels burdened and misjudged by this, in fact, as much comfort solitude gives it, it will not pass up the opportunity to do the little good it can muster...”
