Basic details
Name: Vircus
Titles: The shadowseer, Troupe-leader
Vircus is not a tall eldar. Reaching only about 5.3, while his weight is only about 96ibs. His hair is akin to golden hair that reaches his shoulders, it is fair and very strong to the touch. His skin is pale and smooth. While his body is always wearing his signature armour. His movements are always fluid and dance-like. He is very lithe and subtle with his movements. He has solid green eyes and dark bags under his eyes. Giving him a sometimes disturbing look.
He always wears his mask unless noted. The mask ever changes, depicting more disturbing visages than the last. It is rare to see him without a mask, only removed when he feels it should be. His armour is of all colours. Purple, green, red. At most, it is ever changing. It has many pockets and pouches as-well as two sheaths and four holsters on his body.
He is a psyker. Naturally affinity to such power that allows him to use telekinesis or influence emotions. He is a master of said forces, using it battle freely. Not to mention he is a crack-shot with all of his weapons, his skill with a sword is almost matched with a banshee's.

Equipment
Shuriken pistol.
Shuriken weaponry is unique to the Eldar; its technology is extremely advanced and very difficult to replicate. Shuriken weapons fire a flesh-tearing hail of razor-sharp discs by means of a gravitic accelerator similar to the gravitic motors which power Imperial Land Speeders. The accelerator creates a peristaltic shift from the front to the rear of the firing chamber, hurling the shuriken missiles forward at a tremendous velocity. A burst of several missiles can be fired in a fraction of a second in this way.
The shuriken missiles themselves are razor-sharp monomolecular-edged discs of plasti-crystal, and are usually star-shaped, triangular or circular. A shuriken disc can slice straight through flesh and bone, and can penetrate a considerable thickness of metal or Power armour.
A single solid core of plasti-crystal material is used as ammunition. As the weapon is fired, high-energy impulses from the back of the weapon form the individual shuriken missiles by splitting the ammunition core.
This weapon-principle produces a very high rate of fire, allowing the weapon to fire up to a hundred rounds in one or two seconds and each core is good for around 10 of these bursts. The downside is the lack of rifling in the barrel reducing the accuracy drastically, thereby reducing its minimum range to one well under that of its solid slug counterparts.
Harlequin's kiss.
The Harlequin's Kiss (Eldar: brathu-angau, "kiss of doom") also known as Sting, is a tubular wrist-mounted Mono-filament Injector used only the Eldar Harlequins. The Kiss is only effective in close combat. It contains a tightly-coiled retractable monofilament wire which is around 100 metres in length. When activated (often with a forward punching motion) the wire is violently released. Capable of piercing Armour, if the wire penetrates its victim it instantly uncoils and lashes around violently, liquefying bones and internal organs, and causing immediate death. The wire then retracts back into the Kiss.
Diresword.
A Diresword is an Eldar Power Weapon with a potent spirit trapped within the blade itself. These spirits are Eldar spirits implanted with a Spirit Stone. When a blow is struck, the spirit will attempt to destroy the enemy's mind.
Flip Belt
A Flip Belt (Eldar: geirgilath, "belt of speed") is an anti-gravity belt used by the Eldar Harlequins.
Flip Belts are suspensor, or anti-gravity belts which allows wearers to pivot effortlessly at hip level, as well as increasing the Harlequin's already considerable agility. A short range negative gravity field is generated, allowing the Harlequin to use their already prodigious acrobatic talent to greater effect, bounding across battlefields and performing killing blows that are too fast and complicated to be blocked by enemies in combat.
Mask Of Fear&Rictus.
The Mask of Fear is a small holographic device worn as a mask. It projects daemonic visages and scenes of death onto the mask and has a short-range psychic amplifier which increases enemies' sensitivity to fear and despair.
Other versions of the Mask of Fear include the Rictus Mask, which projects an aura of death in the general vicinity of the wearer, or the Dread Mask, which acts as a mirror of an enemy's worst fears, along with a more potent psychic amplifier like the ones used on the Masks of Fear.
Storm-Glove
Storm-glove (or Riveblades). The Stormglove is basically the Harlequin version of the Power Fist, or strength amplifier used by humans. It is a set of blades worn on the forearm, or more typically, on the hand as a glove.
Power Armour.
Slight of hand, and strong as a lion, is the creed Harlequins live by, as they prance around the battlefields, singing song, and dancing the dance of death, causing heavy casualties, while normal bullets just glance upon there colorful, and loud Armour.
Holo-Suit
Holo-suits (dathedi in Eldar, 'between colors') are used by the Harlequins and contains a programmable holo field which breaks up the outline of the wearer as they move. Whenever anyone wearing this Armour moves, it appears that their outline explodes in a flash of light and when he stops the image reconstitutes itself. It is also known as a jigsaw field or domino field. Also, when the wearer stops moving his outline blends into the surrounding landscape. This makes them very hard to fight in combat, easily disorientating their enemies.
Fusion Pistol
Fusion Weapons are heat-based weapons which work by sub-atomic agitation of the air. Targets on the receiving end are heated to the point of being vaporised. The effect on flesh is fearsome to say the least, while vehicles can be reduced to molten slag. Most Fusion weapons use highly pressurized pyrum-petrol gases with a two part injection system which forces the gases into a molecular state, which will vaporize just about anything. Unfortunately, due to the high power consumption and range dissipation, the weapon is only effective over very short distances, but anything caught in the blast is likely to be destroyed.
Shimmer-Shield
A Shimmershield is a piece of equipment used by the Eldar. It is an advanced force-field generator that is strong enough to protect the Wearer and the People around him from melee attacks.
It takes the form, of being underwater, with reflections going down upon the skin, and Armour of said person.
Neuro Disruptor
The Neuro-disruptor is a weapon of unknown alien manufacture, used by the Eldar. It is a handgun made of a transparent crystalline material. It has no obvious power source, internal workings or mechanical trigger, but works by intent. It uses intricate psycho-crystalline circuitry to emit a wave of particles that disrupt the brain's neural pathways, turning the target into a drooling imbecile or killing them outright.
Hallucinogen grenades:[/b]
Are used as psychological weapons. They release a cloud of invisible gas which has strange and unpredictable effects on the minds of those inhaling it. These effects usually have the result of taking the victim out of combat or making him turn against his allies; effects range from turning victims into passive zombies or idiots, to producing delusions, paranoia and hallucination. Only those with armour which seals them from the local environment are unaffected by hallucinogen gas.
Haywire Grenades:
Are used by both the Eldar and for disabling enemy vehicles. Each one sends out a pulse of electromagnetic energy which shorts out electrical wires and disrupts many energy systems. They don't have any effect on biological creatures.
Tangle-Foot grenades:
Are a complex offensive grenade, A mechanism and only typically used by elite Imperial forces. Basically a small magno-gravitic reactor set to overload, they create very small, but relatively powerful gravimetric fields. The outcome of all this is that anything caught inside the tangle-foot field experiences localised higher gravity, with all the associated implications for movement, bodily operation and so on. Gravimetric fields can also create limited spatial warping and time distortions.
Plasma Grenades:
Are used by the Eldar, in replacement for the more crudely designed Frag Grenades used by Man-kind. They use a small amount of exploding plasma to blind the enemy and prevent them from properly using their terrain to defend their position against advancing enemy forces.
