"The grave (Sheol) is naked before Him, and destruction (Abaddon) has no covering."
- Job 26:6
"Destruction (Abaddon) and death say..."
- Job 28:22
"It is a fire that consumes to destruction (Abaddon)..."
- Job 31:12
"Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave (Sheol) or thy faithfulness in destruction (Abaddon)?"
- Psalm 88:11
"Hell (Sheol) and Destruction (Abaddon) are before the LORD, how much more than the hearts of the children of men?"
- Proverbs 15:11
"Hell (Sheol) and Destruction (Abaddon) are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied."
- Proverbs 27:20 (KJV, 1611)
So as of an hour ago I managed to finish my submission for Angel-Senshi so I figure now is as good of a time as any to go on and submit her. Obviously, because I simply HAD to, I signed up for Abaddon (seeing as Abaddon wasn't even originally on the Available Angels list. So, using my old "SailorEris" I originally created for DracheaRannak's "Dwarf Planet Senshi" contest as a base (because I always did like her design), I sort of made a new soldier. I think she came out pretty awesome myself. XD
SailorAbaddon's original Soulmate Guardian was destroyed during the war with the Shadows, and as a result her psyche sort of broke. Out of fear that she may destroy everything in her wake, SailorAbaddon was banished to a place only known as "The Bottomless Pit" where she was restrained with both physical shackles and various magicks to hold her in place for eternity. Despite being in a form of solitary confinement, in a way she gained a new Soulmate in the form of a swarm of locusts which keep her company...until the time she is freed.
Also, I must give a BIG shoutout to AJ-Reaper for giving me a list of symbols to help me on my way. SailorAbaddon came out awesome...so awesome I'm tempted to tweak her a bit for NeverRealms and ditch my old Abaddon concept altogether. XD

Goodness me, that is impressive! I can recognize something familiar within this particular art of yours. Have you heard of a game called Warhammer 40,000, because in that game, there is indeed a character whose name is shared with your Senshi.
She is Sailor Abaddon, and the character of Warhammer 40k whom I refer to is Abaddon the Despoiler. Badass warrior and ultimate champion of Chaos, whose symbol is exactly identical to the mark I see upon the sword's pommel. The eight-pointed star of Chaos.
Behold the Despoiler himself: vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/w…
Excellent artwork of yours. Beautifully done. Bravo.

Thank you. I've heard of Warhammer 40k indeed, but I haven't looked into it too much. I only know there are four gods and space marines and different races and classes. ^.^;
I based my Abaddon on the being mentioned in the Book of Revelation, so I'm guessing maybe Warhammer took inspiration from that? : )

terraluna5 In reply to HotaruThodt [2015-07-25 01:30:57 +0000 UTC]
Most likely. I was primarily drawn to the identical similarities between your Sailor Abaddon and the Abaddon of 40k.

Are you referring to the SailorChaos that briefly appeared in the manga or when Galaxia was taken over by Chaos in SailorStars? Either way I don't really see it. Besides, this character is based on my old SailorEris design I made for Drachea's "Dwarf Planet" conest way back when.

I'd meant either one.
So, what's the signifigance of the name "Abaddon"?

HotaruThodt In reply to Moon-Shadow-1985 [2015-06-12 22:44:30 +0000 UTC]
Abaddon is the Angel of Destruction mentioned in the Book of Revelation. It is theorized he may be Lucifer or the AntiChrist os even another fallen angel (the theory I usually go with) altogether.

Ever thought about a team of Senshi, theamed for the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? It's an idea of mine that I ran by a friend of mine, Iggwilv , a while back; Sailor Thanatos/Mors (Death), Sailor Limos/Fames (Famine), Sailor Ares/Mars or Polemos/Polemus/Bellum (War), & Sailor Nosoi/Pestis (Plague & Pestilence)--What do you think?
P.S.: Have you also seen SailorDream 's Sailor Clotho ( sailordream.deviantart.com/art… ), Sailor Lachesis ( sailordream.deviantart.com/art… ), & Sailor Atropos ( sailordream.deviantart.com/art… )?

Well, I had but it's been done by at least two people already, LadyBrot 's being my favourites.
Also, Pestilence wasn't originally a Horseman. It was originally Conquest, War, Famine, Death. In some international version of the Bible, Pestilence (or Plague) is now recognized as a horseman. : )
Those Three Fates senshi look awesome. XD

They are GrennInkling's renditions of what those five Senshi that the AnimaMates had each betrayed, hoping that Sailor Galaxia would see them fit to give them Sailor Crystal class Star-Seeds of their own and the planets that would come with them.
What do you think, backstory-wise?

Conquest & Pestilence are the same horseman, I don't know why Pestilence was also known as Conquest, personally I would have thought that War would have also been known as Conquest.
Have you ever read Terry Prachett's Discworld series? On the Discworld, there were originally 5 horseman (Kaos; wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Kaos & wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Four… ), but he left before they became famous; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Bes… ). What do you think?
And your very welcome for the Sailor Fate's links.

HotaruThodt In reply to Moon-Shadow-1985 [2015-06-14 11:33:11 +0000 UTC]
I never thought they were the same myself. LadyBroth replaced Famine with Pestilence and that makes more sense to me. You make good sense too.
I've read a little of it. Kaos would be a pretty nifty Horseman. XD
On a funny note, I remember reading YEARS ago in Weekly World News (Man, I miss that paper) that there was a fifth horseman names "Perversion" that was a gay man who rode side saddle!

In one of Terry Prachett's books, "Good Omens" ( wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Book… ), the Four Horsemen ( wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Four… ) have a new member--Pollution ( wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Poll… )--who has taken up the position left vacant by Pestilence ( wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Pest… ), who retired, disheartened at the advent of asepsis, disinfectants, antibiotics and penicillin...

Thanks for the feedback. It's something I've been mulling over for quite some time. I've got a few other ideas for other horsemen, too:
* Catastrophy/Natural Disaster (earthquakes, etc.)
* Anarchy/Strife
* Poverty
What do you think?
P.S.: Have you ever read any of the Discworld books?
