and compulsion of the techpriest, that most holy and disfigured of the Omnissiah's countless blessed children.  The rugged Death Worlder that Thraxius once was is nothing more than a pale shadow etched into the old scars from a time when more blood than oil pumped through his veins, a chronicle of hardship and horror wrought in flesh.  Deep gray skin, once a deep brown seared under the rays of an unforgiving sun, is stretched taut like tanned hides over implants and mechanical simulacrums of limbs, and his jaw callously stripped away to make room for the garish device that now serves as his new face, a perfect metal sphere and a cold red lens, so that he may never again know the simple pleasure found in a smile.<br/><br/>His left arm is notably bulkier than his right, and appears to be of comparatively shoddy construction beside his many other modifications.  The techpriest has a tendency to hold it out of the way or otherwise wrap it in litany-inscribed bandages to avoid unwanted scrutiny.<br/><br/><strong>Updated:</strong><br/><br/><em>The man's hulking figure had been bound in row after gleaming row of ceramite and blackened iron, a sturdy shell forged from hundreds of precise hexagonal plates locked tightly against one another in bewildering tessellations.  Each one had been delicately inscribed with prayers and liturgies in pristine binary code, the millions of ones and zeroes compiling a beautiful scripture that spoke of purity, resolve, and iron-clad faith.  His unwieldy left arm had been cleverly disguised in this way, and he now held it proudly alongside the other without fear of scrutiny.<br/><br/>It was this impressive visage that he viewed with his six new eyes, each one secure in its holding and capable of the same full range of movement as the one locked firmly beneath his jaw.  Two larger orbs bulged from the space beside each cheekbone, with four smaller ones above and below them.  They swiveled, chameleon-like, around the room and transmitted all visual data to his memorance unit for immediate recording and organization.  Several telescoped outwards to view some small detail, while others flashed a sickly green that banished the shadows from his sight.  His freshly laundered crimson robes billowed out behind him with Techna-Lingua inscriptions laid into the fabric with yellow thread.  They were like vast silken wings, and combined with his augmented gaze and newly installed carapace it gave the man the appearance of a massive, unsightly metal insect.</em><br/><br/><strong>Second Update</strong><br/><br/>In all his years of life, Thraxius had never felt anything so magnificent as this.  He wasn't sure if it was luck or the Emperor's will that had allowed him to acquire such a sacred gift, this blessed armor of the Adeptus Mechanicus whose mighty shielding now encased him in its all-encompassing embrace.  It was powered armor, yes, but it was so much <em>more</em> than that.  There was no external battery, no limited charge.  Its power core was fueled by the holy warmth of his potentia coil, and he could <em>feel</em> the crackling tendrils of his spirit coursing through the circuitry of the divine shell.  It was a second skin, an extension of his very being, and as much a part of his body as his arms and legs and heart.  <br/><br/>No expense had been spared in its construction and adaptation to his mantle.  Its ceramite components held more luster than all the silver in the Imperium, and every seam throbbed with an dull blue glow.  The tattered remnants of his human face had been covered by a sleek helmet that tapered like a pronged blade at each end, a bright red visor inset into the surface.  His six extra eyes had been reinstalled into the cheek and jawline of the mask, a swiveling ocular collar.  Upon its back, hooked directly into his spinal column, was a heavily armored model of generator designed to distribute energy evenly, a sort of external heart, with plenty of room for modular components to be installed--his utility mechadendrite had already been inserted into one of the top right nodes, bobbing spiritedly to and fro.<br/><br/>Even Thraxius' robes had been re-tailored to better suit his new design, draping from unseen crevices and flowing in crimson waves to the floor.  Divine scripture had been sewn into the fabric, professing the great Mysteries on his left side and warning of the Admonitions on his right.  <br/><br/>Reborn anew, and ready to plant his massive boot in some heretical asses.<br/><br/><div
