Description “Let us pour one final drink,
Fill the glasses to the rim.

Come, join this toast:
God is dead!”
[ Wormwood – Tristania ]

Prince Absinthion, also known as Wormwood, is an Angel of the Stars and a member of Emperor Lucifer’s fellowship who lives undercover in Heaven as the Chief of Dominions, faking loyalty to Yahweh in order to provide the Infernal Army with help during the Armageddon. According to the plan, once Prince Abaddon starts the Second Heavenly War by leading the Army of Hell and unleashing his powers against the Army of God, Prince Absinthion will descend from Heaven to poison one third of the rivers and fountains of fresh water on Earth by turning them into absinthe with his powers, killing countless evil mortals as a diversion and to increase the Army of Hell, and subsequently leading an auxiliary troop that will help the Infernal Army by striking the Heavenly one from behind.
Having faked loyalty to the Heavens ever since the end of the Great Heavenly War, he has pure white wings, lacks the Seal other Fallen Angels have and cannot attend the Court of Pandemonium not to blow his cover up. He instead secretly provides other Third-Level Infernal Generals, namely his former Second-in-Command, Marquis Nergal , with information about the Army of Heaven and recruits new members for his auxiliary troop by corrupting fellow Angels. In the Infernal peerage he ranks as a Prince due to the difficulty of his mission. Less than ten Demons know about his secret mission, and almost nobody knows the reason why he accepted it despite the risks.
Although he’s an Angel of the Stars, being the only green star of the night sky, his elemental powers come from Earth, manifesting as Poison. A secret member of Archduke Beelzebub ’s Order of the Great Fly, he pretty obviously loves alcohol, in particular absinthe, and will be the one to lead the toast after Yahweh’s defeat.



After a long wait, finally here's a new character of my Infernal Lords series! This time, we're dealing with Wormwood, or Absinthion.

Ahah! XD Whenever someone mentions her I immediately think of Kylie Minogue, though.

HER? lol... the green faery is male... well as far as i know and have always visualized him...

as far as Kylie Minogue I had to google it... [link]

I really dont understand the modern need to make ALL faerys tiny scantily clad female sextoys

GothicNarcissus In reply to hawthorne-cat [2010-11-20 01:24:42 +0000 UTC]

Ahah! XD Well, in French it's "La Fée Verte", so it's unmistakably feminine (at least as far as it concerns the grammar). And apart from Kylie in Moulin Rouge!, as far as I've seen it's been represented as a female ever since the 19th Century, see this and this .

I must admit, though, that the idea of a male Green Fairy (perhaps a Gancanagh?) is much more appealing. *w*

hawthorne-cat In reply to GothicNarcissus [2010-11-20 03:37:47 +0000 UTC]

well absinthe isnt originally or exclusively french...

and as for the french... they are just weird... OK i can understand a ship or the sea being female... but... Le téléphone - La télévision - L'ordinateur - a phone tv or computer have a sex!?!?! why is a table a woman???

and Ive have seen many old bottle label with a male very 'devil' or male bones faery devil... but definitely male

can you imagine a bunch of old hairy Czechs imagine disney fairy girl dancing about!?!?!

GothicNarcissus In reply to hawthorne-cat [2010-11-20 05:43:35 +0000 UTC]

But as far as I know, the expression is, so...

As for the "sex" is not actually weird: French just lacks the neutrum gender, so it has to file the objects either in the masculine or feminine one. XD Actually I find it more illogical in such languages as German or Russian which do have the neutrum gender but still have most of the objects randomly thrown in all the three genders without any logical way to predict which one is correct (which thank God Romance languages have, at least). But yes, ever since I've learnt it I've always thought that English has the best gender system - men are he, women are she and everything in between plus things are it. Anyway, it's funny that beside la Fée Verte/la Fata verde, the words "absinthe" and "assenzio" (French and Italian) are masculine.

Wow, really? That's really a surprise! Iguess that drinking it from now on will be even funnier than thinking of sweet Kylie. XD (As for the Czechs... well, if you drink too much absinthe then you start seeing really anything XD).

wormwood taken in larger quality than evar present in absinthe causes convolutions...

Le ali le ho aggiunte io con photoshop, facendole addirittura da due paia distinte. Purtroppo, quindi, non saprei suggerirti dove comprarne un paio realistico. :/

solo ora riesco a vederla e dopo tanto parlare e tante avventure per trovare il necessario devo dire che sono veramente stupita del risultato... come al solito lo stacco di colori che da una parte armonizzano e dall'altra contrastano... la scelta del modello eccelsa per tutti i motivi di cui abbiamo già parlato e infine ciliegina sulla torta.....ERA ORA CHE PROVASSI L'ASSENZIO!!! bravissimo.... :*

Grazie, gioia mia! Il merito è anche tuo che hai saputo consigliarmi e mi hai prestato la monetina (alla fine come foto andava benissimo anche quella che c'era XD). Sono davvero felice che ti piaccia il risultato finale.

Tu voglio tanto bene, lo sai? *-*

i can't wait for it either. So bored of this summer, it makes me so tired, plus I am so in want of cool weather to wear my new green Gothic dress I saved my money for and had hand made from a Gothic clothes company in UK called "moon maiden". Its just too warm to wear it but I love it. Are you in your third year at uni now?
