Raise buildings and sing songs in My Glory. In My name, pursue your arts and enshrine all Beauty. Let all people follow their every desire, sate their every hunger, and deny themselves no adventure. For it is in these things, and in other, that you will find the greatest pleasure, and it is through these things, and through each other, that you shall rise yourselves higher, even unto the steps of My Throne... You will take pleasure in all that is, though your bodies will break and your souls be forfeit. For I am Slaanesh, most jealous of Gods, and most demanding of lovers, and My Thirst for you shall never be sated...
~ The Satin Throne, Verses 1-7, from the Liber Chaotica.

Summary

Slaanesh, also known as the Dark Prince, the Prince of Pleasure, the Lord of Excess, the Perfect Prince and even the Prince of Chaos, is the Chaos God of Pleasure, Passion, Excess and Decadence.

Slaanesh is the the Dark God dedicated to the pursuit of earthly gratification and the overthrow of all decent behaviour, as well as hedonism and amoral pleasure for its own sake. He is the God of Obsession, the Master of Excess in All Things, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. Out of all the pantheon, Slaanesh is the youngest of the Chaos Gods, for the complex emotions of erotic desire and decadence can only exist within the minds of intelligent races.

In one sense, Slaanesh is the embodiment of romantic passion and the desire to create vibrant art. Those that most openly express such emotions are often artists, craftsmen, dancers and the more flamboyant nobles of the southern realms. However, the Prince of Chaos is also the embodiment of hubris, pride, sensation, selfish pleasure and pain-as-pleasure. Every breath is an opportunity to take in a new scent. Each glass raised is a chance to savour a new flavour. On every battlefield, each sword blow can entice a never before heard scream of pain.

From his glittering palace in the Realm of Chaos, the Lord of Excess revels in each new sensation discovered. He guides and directs the mortal inhabitants of the world to go ever further in pursuit of new heights of sensation with no concern for the morality of their quest.

Daemon Princes can maintain their own Universes within the Eye of Terror[20]) | Varies from Low Outerverse level up to Outerverse level (Constantly wars with the other Ruinous Powers in the Warp. Immortality, regeneration, and connection to it's fully abstract self make him difficult to harm in any meaningful capacity) | Outerverse level (Exists as a vortex of energy representing their related concept[6].The true Abstract form of the Chaos Gods can exist in the Aethyric Void[3] where they where formed, while still bound to it's brothers. Where the concept of 'Chaos Undivided' existing as 'loose unaligned magic' corrupts the Astromatrix in the Aethyric Void, which boils down into a universal abstract that is at once both everything and nothing[17])

Stamina: Infinite, Daemons in general don't tire. Able to form infinite amounts of Daemons created by separating his own essence to form another being.

Range: Outerversal (Even their lesser avatars still attack from the Warp, rending portals into reality through which they can attack[18]) | Outerversal | Outerversal

Standard Equipment: Unknown

Intelligence: Beyond mortal comprehension; doesn't have a mind in a conventional sense, is an abstract force/concept in the form of a God defined by the beliefs of humanity, with even this representation merely being a tiny facet of Chaos as a whole. Where Khorne has his might, Tzeentch has his power and Nurgle has his the all encompassing nature of decay, the greatest weapon of Slaanesh is it's lack of need for one. The Palace of pleasure at the center of it's Domain has no defenses whatsoever, for what can stand in the presence of perfection itself and not utterly devote themselves to it. Not a single soul has ventured to the Palace of Pleasure and returned to even describe it's appearance. Slaanesh's charisma frightens its siblings, despite it's comparitive weakness, for they all see themselves represented within the excess that is Slaanesh and it disgusts and intrigues them all the same.

Weaknesses: It's Avatars are bound to the structure of the Warp and reliant on the beliefs of humanity, the only way it can interact with reality past the Veil is by splitting it's essence into daemons or lesser avatars of themselves | Is basically a universal concept, acting through it's avatars. Held back by being in a constant battle for control with it's siblings. Just as likely to prevent it's inevitable victory at the last moment to instead battle one of it's siblings.
