General Description
Skin: Normal
Hair: A rather light green, worn mostly straight though sometimes wavy. He wears very few hairstyles, sometimes a ponytail flip (sometimes with two braids rather than the tail as it is), loose or a French ponytail.
Eyes: Almond shaped, green.
Markings/Tattoos: Butterfly-shaped bracelet tattoo in red.
Others: He’s got a strong build.
Clothing and Accessories: He wears Pretty regular clothing. He tends to buy things that will come in shades of greens and yellows, and even some white. He’s neither a fan or against too light or too dark colors, and has been seen wearing both as long as it’s in the color shades he likes. He loves jewelry, his favorite item being his necklace shaped as a dragonfly, made of green stained glass.
As he acknowledges his name being tied to a drink, and he rather likes the mystique around it, his jewelry is mostly shaped around the theme. Greens and yellows in fairies, dragonflies and butterflies. He also has a collection of Absinthe related objects.
Personality
Likes: Body painting, jewelry, green, yellow, absinthe (probably the only alcoholic drink he has), tea, salads and chicken meat, music.
Dislikes: Red meat, any white meat that’s not chicken, smoke and cigarettes, being touched (only because of his power.)
Abilities: He has a power he can’t control: whenever he touches someone, in any way, for as little as it can be, the other person immediately starts feeling as if s/he was tipsy at first, and, finally (the more they touch), drunk. Absinthe can’t control this, which brings some suffering to him because many people end up not remembering him at all.
Weaknesses: His aforementioned power.
General: He’s a kind boy, a bit shy from time to time, though he’s become like that only because of his power. He tries to keep as positive as he can, though.
Background History
Absinthe is a sort of Alien. The ship he came in crashed in France when he was but a little child. His parents, unable to repair it, tried to adapt the best they could to life on Earth. Absinthe grew up going to a human school, and being teased for his name, while others thought it was cool. His power hit since an early age, and so he started to pull away from most people and hate being touched.
By the time he was 14 his parents disappeared mysteriously, and Absinthe was forced into a foster home until he was of age to be allowed a job and was able to move out by himself.
Currently, he lives in a small apartment and works at a bar with a rather questionable reputation, but good enough pay to keep his apartment and fulfill personal needs.
