"ABnormal END" - Abnormal termination (of software); {crash}; {lossage}. Derives from an error message on the IBM 360; used jokingly by hackers but seriously mainly by {code grinder}s. Usually capitalized, but may appear as `abend'. Hackers will try to persuade you that ABEND is called `abend' because it is what system operators do to the machine late on Friday when they want to call it a day, and hence is from the German `Abend' = `Evening'.

Absent By Enforced Net Deprivation. Used to explain to fellow netizens (especially on USENET) that one will be losing (or has not had) Internet access for some time for reasons outside one's control.
Because the courts say my h4x0ring of NASA jacked them up ...I will be ABEND for a while.

Richter Abend is a half-elf appearing in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World as the "antagonist".
This is not entirely true, however.
In the first part of the game, the main character, Emil Castagnier, meets Richter. The man encourages Emil to stand up for himself, giving Emil his catchphrase, "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality." This came from Richter's deceased friend, Aster. The two were researchers. They'd, in fact, met Ratatosk who was the guardian of the World Tree. Ratatosk had murdered Aster, then later took on his form, creating a fake personality for himself named Emil.
Richter didn't know Emil was actually Ratatosk. Richter wanted to break the barrier in the Ginungugap and bring back Aster with the help of the Centurion Aqua. He would then use himself as a seal on the door, sacrificing himself. So, all in all, Richter isn't a bad person. He just did the right thing the wrong way.
Richter Abend has silky red hair...
