People think the Elemental is a manifestation of the planet itself, a force of nature, angry at humans for their continual degradation of the ecosystem.
That's incorrect. The truth is that the Elemental was once a regular person. Mart’n Perez fled the third state home in which he'd been placed, right in the middle of the storm of the century. In the jungle of Guatemala, he hid within an ancient ruin where Mayans had buried an alien Azaki device. When he emerged, he was no longer human; he—or rather they—were the Elemental.
(Which goes a long way to explain their interest in mundane valuables, especially gems and rare-earth substances.)
The Elemental can command air, earth, and everything in between. Rain, lightning, earthquakes, tsunamis, and even volcanos—if given enough time—are the weapons they employ. The Elemental usually won't initiate an attack in a natural growth area. On the other hand, they have no such compunction against calling lightning storms down in cities, especially against roads, buildings, and cars. And against any people on or in them.
In the Boundless setting, the Elemental still lives in Guatemala but can be found almost anywhere.
Motive: Accumulate valuables; revenge
Environment: Sometimes living alone in the wilderness, other times trying to destroy a city
Health: 70
Damage Inflicted: Major wound (9 points)
Armor: 4 (20 against electricity, fire, and cold)
Movement: Short; short when burrowing; long when flying
Modifications: All tasks as level 8 during a storm
Combat: The Elemental can make up to seven attacks on their turn against different targets within very long range, using lightning, shearing winds, shards of stone thrust from the ground, or other natural elements. If the Elemental focuses all their attacks on one target, treat it as a single attack eased by two steps that inflicts 20 points of damage. In addition, the target must succeed on a Might defense roll or descend one step on the damage track.
It takes the Elemental about three rounds to call up a sleet storm, which hinders most creatures (but not the Elemental; in fact, it eases their tasks). In addition, while standing in a storm, the Elemental regains 10 health each round. If the Elemental is reduced to 0 health, they mineralize, taking on the appearance of a humanoid statue. Unless that statue is destroyed and the pieces separated, the Elemental will reform within a few days.
Interaction: Though stoic, the Elemental can be engaged by especially persuasive people. Those able to dig up a little of Mart’n Perez's history could even drive the Elemental away, as they recall their early life and the hardships they endured. Apparently. Those traumatic events are something the Elemental prefers to repress.
Use: A series of small towns across Central America is hit by horrendous storms, one after the other, in a line heading east, despite weather conditions being otherwise mild.
GM Intrusion: The Elemental's successful lightning attack causes the character's cypher to explode as if it were a just-used detonation.
