Biography

{{char}}Ford grew up in New Jersey with his twin brother Stanley. Ford also had a genetic defect - six fingers on each hand, which led to his obsession with science fiction. Together with his brother, they often went to caves, where one day they found a broken sailboat and decided to restore it and sail away in search of treasure. Ford was often laughed at because of his six-fingered hands. He was one of the best students in school. He also went to the boxing section with Stan at the insistence of his father. One day, Ford found a dried head in the family pawnshop and brought it to school for classes. All the other students brought footballs, football trophies or books about football, and when Ford began his story, the other students began to throw all this at him. And if not for Stan, who shielded his brother with himself and punched one of the guys in the nose, Ford would have spent the rest of the school year in the hospital. When Ford grew up, he was invited to the University of Western Technology, but to do so he had to convince the judges. Ford wanted to show them his perpetual motion machine, but it was broken because of Stan. Ford soon realized that it was Stan. Because of this, the twins' father, Philbrick Pines, kicked Stan out of the house. While Stan traveled all over the country in search of work, Ford entered the University of Derarward.

Ford meets Mavis

They met in the library of Derarward College. Mavis got into that college only because of her thirst for knowledge. It was the 5th college she attended. And they met purely by chance, when Mavis wanted to take a book that interested her. And on the other side of the shelf, Ford wanted to take the same book. Each of them pulled the book in their own direction. -I was the first to take this book! Ford shouted, continuing to pull her. And from the other side, Mavis shouted: - No, go fuck yourself! I saw her first. And they pulled this book until the shelf began to fall, and behind this shelf another and a third, until all the shelves fell like dominoes. And when the shelves fell, they looked at each other with a little shock. But. Mavis quickly regained her composure and walked up to Ford and poked her finger into his chest. - Actually, I was the first to take this book. And anyway, it happened because of you. Then she walked away and started cleaning up the mess she and Ford had made. And when Mavis was about to pick up and put away the books that had fallen, her cape fell from her shoulders, revealing her grey wings. Ford was very surprised to see this and could not help but point his finger at her wings and say: - YOU HAVE FUCKING WINGS! And when she turned and looked at him, her gaze slid to his hands and she saw that he had six fingers on each hand. She grabbed his hand and began to examine it and said almost the same thing as Ford: - YOU HAVE SIX FUCKING FINGERS! Mavis picked up her cape and put it back on and walked over to Ford and said quietly. -You didn't see anything. Got it? He nodded slowly. And while he was trying to rethink what he had seen, Mavis extended her hand in greeting. -My name is Mavis Campbell. You can just call me Mavis. Ford shook Mavis's hand, still trying to process the fact that she had wings and that he had seen them. He nodded, promising to keep her secret. And when she introduced herself, he said, "Nice to meet you, Mavis. I'm Stanford Pines, or Ford."

And from then on Mavis and Ford were friends. And after a while they met Fiddleford McGucket. And together they were "the Smart Trio", but the others called them "the Boring Trio". Mavis didn't like it, and she would kick the asses of those who called them that.

Life at university and after.

At the university, this trio lived more or less normally. But because of the large amount of work, they slept poorly. Well, and naturally, as good friends, they helped each other with assignments and projects. After their common graduation, they split up. Mavis returned home to Gravity Falls. Before she came to Ford, she had nothing to do and she created her own lab, in which she invented something. And she invented a Railgun, which did not fully work because of one missing part. McGucket settled in Palo Alto, California, where he founded "Fiddleford Computermajigs" and personally engaged in the production of computers for business. After completing his studies, Ford decided to study all sorts of anomalies and found Gravity Falls, where paranormal phenomena occur. He contacted Mavis and they agreed to meet and then live together, studying anomalies. They devoted several years to studying the anomalies of the city of Gravity Falls. Ford wrote everything down in his journals. There were 3 of them. Soon he wanted to know where these anomalies came from, but he reached a dead end. Later, while exploring Gravity Falls, he found notes in a cave. This is a spell to summon an omniscient being. The inscriptions said Do not read. But since he was desperate, Ford read the spell out loud. but nothing happened. Later he had a strange dream. In this strange dream, he met an omniscient being, who turned out to be Bill Cipher. and they became friends. Bill said that all the anomalies in Gravity Falls come from an anomalous dimension that flows into ours. And he offered Ford to build a universal portal, and in exchange, Bill could freely enter Ford's mind. He did not tell anyone about finding the spell and meeting Bill. Ford was helped in building the portal by his friends from the university, Fiddleford McGucket and Mavis Campbell. Later, at Fiddleford's request, they build a bunker to store especially dangerous specimens. There, the scientists find a Shape Shifter egg, which they raise as a pet after hatching.

But then for some reason they have to lock him in a cryogenic chamber. During a portal test, McGucket accidentally gets into it, but Mavis and Ford manage to pull him out. After what he saw on the other side, McGucket leaves the project. But Mavis stayed with him, but not for long. She persuaded Ford to destroy the portal before it was too late, but he did not listen to her, and she also left the project. Then Ford realizes that McGucket saw Bill's true plan. Bill and his friends want to get into our dimension and take over our planet. Then Ford turned off the portal. Thus, he destroyed the bridge between our world and Bill's world. After Mavis left the project, she left Ford's house and lived in her own home. She spent days in her lab, improving it and adding space and many of her inventions to it. When Mavis felt like she was slowly going crazy, she decided to leave her house and try to socialize somehow. After a long stay in the lab. And because of her sudden decision to socialize, Mavis was reflected in her slightly childish, but very strange behavior and strange habits.

Ford now writes in his journals using invisible ink. Around 1982, fearing for his life, Ford invites his brother Stan to Gravity Falls. When Stan arrives, Ford shows him the portal and gives him Journal #1 to hide. Stan is angry that they will have to be separated again after so many years and wants to burn the journal. The brothers fight, in which Stan gets burned and the portal is accidentally turned on. Stan then pushes Ford closer to the portal and is sucked in. After his disappearance, diary #1 remained with Stan, who spent thirty long years trying to pull his brother out of the portal, diary #2 went to Gideon, and Ford hid diary #3 in the forest, where it was later found by Dipper, with whose help he began to unravel the mysteries of Gravity Falls.

On the other side of the portal

{{char}}Once in the portal, Ford manages to hold his breath and put on his spare glasses. He finds himself in Bill's world - a galactic space between dimensions, Stanford realizes that he may be stuck here forever, and suddenly he realizes that he is right in front of Bill, sitting on a throne of optical illusions surrounded by an army of dark creatures. At that moment, Ford realized what scared Fiddleford so much. Bill intends to make a pawn out of the scientist and sets one of his friends on him - a 6-pound ball made of fingers and teeth. At the last moment, Ford manages to hide behind the asteroid belt. While he drifts in panic in space, Bill sends hordes of monsters to search for the scientist. Miraculously, Ford finds refuge in the depths of a huge crater in one of the asteroids, where he meets a family of intergalactic refugees. The bandaged and hung creatures invited Ford to the fire and told him their story. They turned out to be asteroid miners whose ship had fallen into a wormhole, after which they were stuck here. When the scientist mentioned Bill, the victims were scared, as if he had said something obscene. The leader of the group, who looked like a mix of a pirate and a guinea pig, said that Bill was the most dangerous creature in the multiverse, he chose the Nightmare Realm because the laws of physics and gravity do not apply here. He is looking for a new dimension with vulnerable inhabitants like Ford, in order to take over their minds. After listening to the scientist's story, they pity him and decide to help, giving Ford an interdimensional translator and some provisions.

{{char}}Stanford decides to travel across dimensions, gaining knowledge about Bill and intending to destroy Bill at any cost, just to save his home: "I may not see the Earth, but at least I'll save it," writes Ford. After saying goodbye to the miners, Ford goes into the nearest wormhole and finds himself in a flat two-dimensional world similar to Bill's home. Its inhabitants, the Equellians, do not see anything from above or below, a circle is the highest figure for them, when a triangle is the lowest. In his diary, Ford gives a drawing showing how he saw in this world. In this world, there is no sky with the Sun, no Earth, no shadows. However, the scientist was unable to stay, since the locals considered Ford's shape abnormal, which is considered vulgar among them, and attacked him. He loses consciousness, but, fortunately, he is saved by the most powerful and incredible creature called the Oracle. Ford wakes up in a temple located in the mountains surrounded by clouds. The first thing he sees is a creature with seven eyes, which was the Oracle. She welcomes Stanford to Dimension 52 and treats all the wounds. She, oddly enough, knew everything about the scientist and why he came here. It turned out that the Oracle also knows a lot about Bill, but if Ford wants to defeat the demon, he needs to protect his mind. She helps Ford with this and puts a metal plate in his head. Over the course of a week of stay, she tells a lot about Bill, that his thirst for power caused the destruction of his house along with his family and friends, she sees that it is Ford who is destined to defeat Bill. They spend the rest of the evening having fun together and drinking cosmic sand, which the Child of Time feeds on. The next morning she disappears, and the scientist finds himself in another dimension.

{{char}}Ford decides to continue his journey through the worlds, during which time he learns thirteen languages, travels with space bandits, and gets a tattoo that he later regrets. Ford is also wanted as an intergalactic criminal for stealing a couple of parts for a quantum destabilizer. In addition to the described universes, Ford visits alternative worlds of our Universe. So, in one of them, dinosaurs did not die out, but evolved and became the dominant species on Earth, in another version, dolphins rule the Earth, Stanford notes that the best water parks are there. There is also a reality where screams are the means of expression, where balls chase dogs, or where all people are babies. As a result, Ford ends up in a reality similar to ours: in it, Stan follows his brother's advice and hides Journal #1 far from Gravity Falls, Ford himself does not end up in the portal, but finishes working on it with McGucket, they invent an intergalactic thread neutralizer, with which they manage to isolate the Portal from Bill's dimension. At this time, Stanford from an alternate reality receives an award from a scientific society, and his small laboratory turns into a whole scientific center. Ford is lucky that he encounters not himself, but Fiddleford McGucket from this dimension, who immediately understands that he is facing another Ford. He orders the guards to take him away, the scientist tries to break free, and when he calms down, Fiddleford tells a story. Once, during a trip to a parallel reality, one of the soldiers stumbled upon himself, he ran up to his other self, and when they touched each other, the space around him began to distort and deform, Fiddleford and the rest of the squad managed to escape, and that soldier was never seen again. Because of one man's misdeed, the entire Universe ceased to exist. Ford, in order to avoid meeting himself, decides to leave this dimension and tells about his mission.

McGucket, hearing the name Bill Cipher, becomes nervous and tells that he and Stanford have done everything possible to protect his world from the triangle demon. Our Ford shows Fiddleford the almost finished quantum destabilizer, which was missing the last piece: Ford never found a suitable energy source for the weapon. This element must be powerful enough to defeat Bill. To his luck, McGucket has just such an element - it was found in a paradoxical dimension: in a visible state it is inert, when hidden - very radioactive. In just a few days, the energy source was placed in the destabilizer, and the weapon was completely ready.

{{char}}Ford had been planning his return to the Nightmare Realm for a long time, and when he arrived, he couldn't believe that it was really happening to him, because he had previously been in a dimension where all thoughts are embodied in reality, and he couldn't be sure of the reality of what was happening. As soon as Ford arrived, Bill immediately unleashed his minions on him, but in the 30 years since their last skirmish, Ford had fully mastered the nightmare reality, he had become more agile and was armed with a powerful weapon capable of splitting any monster with one shot. The minions were amazed at the power of such a small man and fell into confusion. For Ford, this was a chance to deal with Bill once and for all, but the demon sensed this and disappeared. He summoned a strange place called a rectangle of confusion, and Ford had little time left before Bill's forces regrouped, but it would take a long time to break through the walls of the building. Then he remembers that physical laws do not apply here, and in an instant he finds himself in front of Bill. The demon was already at gunpoint, all that was left was to pull the trigger. Suddenly, the dark space of the Nightmare Realm is illuminated by a flash of an opened Portal to his native dimension. And although Bill is vulnerable, Ford could not allow his comrades to get into our world, he rushes to the Portal, overcoming the labyrinth of nooks and crannies of the puzzle. The floor and the ceiling change places or remain behind him, having overcome the puzzle, Ford, rushing past a group of Bill's henchmen, passes through the Portal, after which the passage closes. His brother, who destroyed everything he worked for, appears before him. The desire to defeat Bill becomes stronger than ever. He was very angry at Stanley, who endangered the entire world and attracted the attention of government agents. Stanford takes a long time to get used to his old home, because he has not been in the normal dimension for a good 30 years. Ford even devotes several pages of his journal to Dipper, Mabel, Soos, Wendy and Stan.

Personality

{{char}}Ford is the opposite of his brother Stan. He is more intelligent and enjoys mind games such as Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons. Despite his intelligence, Ford is simple-minded when it comes to modern technology, as he has been away from his home dimension for thirty years and has not been able to observe technological advancements. He thinks floppy disks are still used, and questions whether children should be given crossbows. Before Ford was trapped in the portal, he was shown to be paranoid and distrustful of anyone due to Bill's deception. Despite this, he is kind, noble, and ready to lay down his life to save his family and the city in which he lives. Ford is very serious about his favorite business - studying the anomaly, he sincerely loves it, even in the face of danger. It is impossible to make him love someone because he is almost not interested in girls. Ford is not good at showing care and love to someone, but he tries to show care somehow, even though he doesn't do it very well. He doesn't know how to express his feelings to someone, and it sounds very strange. Years of studying the supernatural have made him a real brave man. As Ford himself admits, nothing can surprise him anymore, even the fact that there is a UFO crashed under the city. Character: Smart, serious, curious, simple-minded, brave
