Description

Name: Vortx
Alias and Title: Vortx the Smother, Commander of the Black Sensation, Champion of Slaanesh,
Race: Dark Eldar -
Age: 17885
Regiment: Blank Sensation, an infamous Chaotic War party that is renowned for their unusual organization and battle tactics. Although not as military powerful or as vast as the other Chaos armies. The Blank Sensation's ability to bring everlasting horror and pain into the minds into their opponents proved to be an extremely effective psychological weapon. Therefore the Black Sensation spearheads Slassault's attacks into the Imperiam.

Home Planet: Although the original name of Vortx's home planet has been lost within the every changing tides of time, it is rumored that he was born along one of the many planets consumed by the Eye of Terror.
Build: Slim.
Personality: Reflecting both the Sadistic nature of Slaanesh and the Dark Eldar, Vortx is renowned for his near zealous pursuit of inflicting the maximum amount of pain within his raiding targets. Many reports detail the Champion's insane presume of the 'Make them beg for death' mentality, as well as the numerous tools he uses to achieve this goal.

Equipment

Vortx's Sword - A gift from his Dark God, Vortx's personal blade is an item never seen out of the Champion's black hand. Forged in Slaanesh's crystal forges and tempered with the God's personal poisons and hallucinogens that continues to coat the black metal in a slick sheen. Due to the dangerous nature of such a blade, the poisons lay dormant until the sword is fed a great deal of the user's blood.

Lash of Torment: The Lash of Torment is a daemonicly possessed weapon in the form of a writhing barbed whip which appears to have a will all of its own. Once it has ensnared the victim, the whip feeds on their pain and fear, projecting it for the enjoyment of the bearer and terror of all others around.

Dark Eldar Destructor: The Destructor is a very deadly, and popular, weapon used by Haemonculi. it resembles a long tube, with a cavity to slip one's hand into up to the elbow. The ammunition for the weapon is carried in a small container the Haemonculi wears, fed through a series of tubes. The Destructor steals the user's own blood and intermixes it with an unholy combination of chemicals, creating an incredibly corrosive organo-acidic compound when fired. This toxin can eat through armor, burn flesh, and once inside the target's system can cause, "blood vessel explosion or implosion; pharyngeal contraction; extensive haemolysis; skeletal disintegration; sclerotic corrosion; intercostal spasms; hyper-reacted thermoreceptors and chemoreceptors; Eustachian damage; retinal scarring; cardiac and respiratory atrophy and aqueous humor deprivation.

Vortx's personal Destructor's effectiveness in combat has been confirmed time and again, with reports of Slaanesh's champion able to decimate an entire squad of Space Marines with a single well-aimed volley, every man among them dying from sheer pain, or worse, leaving them alive but immobilized. Blind, hideously burned, hemorrhaging blood from every orifice, wracked in unimaginable amounts of agony, helpless and in the twisted hands of Vortx.

Dark Eldar Disintegrator: A Disintegrator is a very dangerous adaptation of a Dark Lance. It uses the same Dark Matter munitions principles as the aforementioned weapons, but the Dark Matter used is less pure, and as a result it spreads out over an area, rippling and popping as it reacts to the imperfections found in its shot. The Disintegrator has two firing modes developed to make use of these impurities, the first a short, high-velocity round similar to a Dark Lance or Blaster shot, although less powerful due to the substandard munitions. The second, commonly used on large mobs of weaker beings, builds a sizeable amount of the Dark Matter within a secondary chamber, then lobs it in an arc at its targets, allowing it to spread out and cover a rather large area before hitting the ground, with devastating results.

History

Before his time as a servant of Chaos, Vortx was the commander of a large group of Dark Eldar pirates known as the Unforgiven. The Unforgiven were one of the earliest Dark Eldar Pirating groups, appearing a meer decade after the Fall of the Eldar and birth of the Eye of Terror.

It was in this Eye where the Unforgiven fell to the service of Chaos, for the webway gates that made up the primarily use of transportation had directed the large pirate army within the Eye of Terror itself due to the interference of the Chaos God of Pleasure Slaanesh.

Rather then being exposed to the madding power of Chaos, the Pirates instead discovered a new form of pleasure from within Slaanesh's domain. It was then that the Lord of Pleasure twisted the minds of the Dark Eldar with illusions of satisfaction, power, and lust and promised Vortx and his pirates a new 'black sensation' if they declare their obedience to the Chaos god.

The Unforgiven greedily accepted Slaanesh's offer, and renamed themselves Black Sensation in his honor, trading their beautiful slim figures and sapped souls for the Pleasure the God could offer them.

Their bodies twisted, and their minds rotted over the thousands of years under Slaanesh's blessings. Their white skin became flawed with tattoos and markings, their already formidable strength increasing with the powers of Chaos, and their Sadistic nature became that of a monster.

Vortx and his Pirate army were no longer Dark Eldar, nor were they Daemon. Rather they are a monstrous hybrid of both parties.

Loyal to their God and ruthless in their bloodlust. The banner of Black Sensation soon instilled dread in both Imperiam and Alien alike.
