Tres Association
The Tres Association is one of the twelve Associations of the City. Its Fixers are in change of managing Workshops.
Details
The Tres Associations is responsible for managing Workshops all through the City. Their Fixers' duties include reviewing newly designed weapons, filing applications to the Head to register and patent the creations, and charging taxes relative to them. Their domain includes weapons, gadgets, and prosthetics models.[1] When a design is rejected by the Association, it cannot be produced and distributed for commercial use in its current state, although it can still be kept for personal use.[2] Upon rejection, the Association will at times send feedback suggesting how to improve the designs to a passable level.[3]
Like other Associations, Tres Association holds qualification exams for Fixers, including Workshop exams,[4] presumably to obtain the necessary qualifications to run a Workshop.
In recent years, the southern branch of Tres Association has suffered heavy losses due to Distortions, with the Blood-red Night and L'Heure du Loup as suspected guilty parties.[5]
Trivia
- Following the naming pattern of the Associations, Tres is Spanish for the number three.
