Weapons

"Symbaresh, the Conjoined Sisters" - Best Craftsmanship Noise Marine Blastmaster
An ornate work of art constructed with original Laeran technology which has been bastardized by Kakophoni aesthetics. Symbaresh is a single-bodied instrument shaped similarly to a large, twin-headed electric guitar from Old Terra with strings fashioned from generated energy. Each of the instrument's twin heads is crafted in the visage of a daemonic maiden's head with her maw opened wide. They are twin sisters, conjoined at the body, singing and screaming together.

Description
Screams of Beauty's Mark V power armor has been modified to appear as a muscled torso rather than ceramite, decorated in the trademark Emperor's Children coloring of bruised flesh. He still carries the insignia of the III Legion, but he is frequently daubed with psychadelic paints inspired by his extreme experiences. A rainbow mane of acid-hued colors flies from his helm.

Screams' colorful trappings conceal hedonistic ruin beneath: ritual scarring, gaudy piercings and vat-grown synthmuscle have altered his structure beyond the average Astartes. Like so many of his brothers, Screams's features were once fair like his gene-father's. Now, his pursuits have resulted in corruption: the pupils of his original eyes are unnaturally dilated and tiny insectoid ones sit across his cheekbones like clusters of freckles while his tongue can extend to make detections in the air like a snake's. These are indications of unnatural senses the Dark Prince has gifted his follower.

Screams' latest mutation has taken his physicality to new extremes: his torso has elongated to allow the growth of two additional broad and hulking arms. With them, he is able to move rapidly on the knuckles and grasp with newly prehensile feet. Screams has had his power armor modified to accommodate his new gift.

Background
The original name of Screams of Beauty has been lost to both time and the Legionnaire's own warped mind, nor does he particularly care about it anymore. The only signs of his past are the markings on his armor marking him as one of the Emperor's Children. For this devoted follower of Slaanesh, the only thing he cares about is sensory overload; battle is where he gets the greatest rush. The mix of all the other sounds alongside his sonic weaponry is a masterful symphony, but he always ends up wanting more. To get his latest fix, he's been on the hunt to further his sonic arsenal, and along the way he has decided that the Necrons make for a nice new target to test out the effects of sonic weaponry. Who knows? The xenos might even have sonic weaponry of their own to add to his collection.
