@Dark Cloud

Yes, photos do tend to take the longest. Does this mean you have completed the changes on the profile? Or are you giving a quick update? Just want to make sure I know if I need to review or not.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon Just an update I should be done very soon though.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon One question: When does this take place? Summer? Spring?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Dark Cloud

It takes place in Summer. It can easily go past Summer but we are starting in summertime.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon Perfect as that is pertinent to my background. Thank you.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Dark Cloud

No problem! Happy to help! Let me know if you have any more questions.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon Will do I just did a bit of quick geography research. As GF is based off of Boring, Oregon and my character is from Portland so I looked up the distance to see how long of a distance it would be in order to see how long of a drive it would take to get there. And it is 31 minutes between Portland and GF/Boring.

Don't Poke The Bear

Hey kid, what’s your name?
“Theodore Kaneonuskatew. Friends call me Teddy.”

Huh, interesting...you look more like a…

unique snowflake.

Depth perception is kind of a problem for me. Why don’t you save me the trouble and tell me how you look?

Teddy

How old are you anyway?
“...Seventeen.”

Why don’t you lay your past on me? What are you even doing here?

“...I’m the second youngest of ten...My parents took a lot of trips to Gravity Falls and always came back with another sibling...apparently.

They liked me at first. Mom taught me how to play music, and apparently was a guitar prodigy. Dad taught me about the great outdoors. Not sure what’s great about the outside of a door, but trees and animals are nice too.

My brothers didn’t like me at first. Well, except Terry, my oldest bro. Apparently mom and dad said that I was gonna be the cash cow in a family of screw ups. They said they’d show our parents who the screw up really was. One year we came up here when I was little and my brothers left me in the woods on my own…”

“...”

“...After that, they felt guilty and taught me a lot of things. Some things I should know, some things I shouldn’t. They’re all grown up now, except Tob, he’s younger than me. Some of them are old, like forty. Old enough to where they thought having reunion at the Falls every year would be cool. It’s just me and Terry so far though...

Still waiting on the rest…”

Anything else you wanna share? Go for it!
“...No. The mask doesn’t come off.”

“Illuminati...don’t poke the bear.”

“...I’m not Ted Bear, or Theodorable. They’re unbearable.”

“Can you bear to answer; What makes Gravity Fall?”

[Akayaofthemoon]

@DClassified

Puns....you know me all to well. Get our boy into the character tab!

[Polaris North]

Changed a couple of things here and there but here ya go!

Garfield Pollard

Hey kid, what’s your name?

"The name's Garfield Pollard. People around these parts call me Gar."

Huh, interesting...you look more like a...

Sixer

Depth perception is kind of a problem for me. Why don’t you save me the trouble and tell me how you look?



How old are you anyway?

"Thirty-nine. You learn to grow old here in Gravity Falls."

Why don’t you lay your past on me? What are you even doing here?

"A life story? Seriously? I'm not even that old.

Well, it isn't really all that interesting. You see, I was born and raised here in Gravity Falls. Ma and pa were born and raised here too. No one really leaves Gravity Falls once you start to live here. Not much change either. We're born here, grow up here and die here. There are people who come, a few go, but that's usually what happens in our little sleepy town. Nothing much happens here.

As for me? Well, I went through school here and, just like my parents and every single ancestor I have, I'm gonna stay here. I've gone through a lot of jobs because I mostly do whatever needs to be done here in Gravity Falls. We don't have a lot of people so if someone needs help, I'm usually the one they ring up. And hey, I don't mind not having a permanent job as long as I get some money out of it you know?

I've encountered a couple of weird things. Sometimes, there's floating furniture. Sometimes, there's some weird creature stalking people in the woods. Or sometimes it's a broken toaster. It's all part of living here in Gravity Falls. There are a lot of rumors and legends that surround our town. I don't really care whether it's true or not; if they pose a problem, I take care of them. If they don't, I leave them alone. But I'm pretty sure the kids out there are curious about them and maybe sometimes I keep an eye on the kids so they don't get hurt. The kids don't seem to really understand that some things are best left to the unknown.

The less people who know about it, the better. I've thought of leaving Gravity Falls behind but this is home. Besides, if I don't stay here, who knows what kind of bull- I mean, what kind of trouble people will get into. You never know what happens in Gravity Falls."

Anything else you wanna share? Go for it!

"I've seen a lot of weird stuff in Gravity Falls and I got a couple of trinkets. Apparently, this ring I got from this weird woman in the woods helps me power through stuff. Pretty darn useful if you ask me."

"Oh, a wife? Yeah, I have one. She's a teacher over at our highschool. Her name is Emma and we've been married for ten years, together for twenty! She's a sweet and amazing person. You would love her when you meet her too. Don't got any kids though."

"There's been talk of Illuminati being thrown around. Don't know. This feels a lot more older than that."

"I used to work as a lumberjack and used to go hunting before. They help a lot."

"Coffee and my wife are the only things that make me feel alive. I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

"My wife and I go hiking, sometimes even camping, in the woods. We keep seeing a lot of things. Get to meet things too. I'd be careful if I were you."

"I know some of the weaknesses of those... monsters? Things? Unidentifiable objects? Anyway, I know what makes them tick after years of tangling with them. They say don't mess with the unknown but that's too late for me and my wife I guess."

"My wife likes tinkering a lot. Sometimes, she uses brings the gadgets when we enter the woods. I'd be lying if I said they weren't useful on occassion."

@Polaris North

Welcome back! Go ahead and jump on into the character tab with him :3

[Polaris North]

@Akayaofthemoon

Oh also I have some ideas I wanna run by you but I'm heading to bed soon so I'll send them over as soon as I can id that's okay with you?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Polaris North

Sounds good! I’ll keep an eye out for your PM and we can go over things. Sleep well and sweet dreams Polaris!

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon I'm done and I need to say something. In truth I've only ever seen an episode here and there up until now, but oh my god I am (pardon my language) fucking hooked on this masterpiece of a T.V. show. Heck I finally understood the jokes my friends used to reference back in high school specifically Stans marriage joke that my friend who had the best Grunkle Stan impression made.

This show is humorous even to me, and I wish I had watched it sooner. And it is amazing how even now long after the show ended that the fanbase is still lively and constantly concocting theories about the show even today.

EDIT: To explain my character in short his family originated here in Gravity Falls and were well known artists, yet the matron who commissioned the painting lost her mind and cursing the women of their family to disappear into the Falls after succumbing to mental illness. (Schizoprenia or Dementia on the Female side of the family)

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Dark Cloud

It is quite an amazing show! The jokes and dialogue are spot on. The mystery and even the unsorted details just make it enjoyable. I’ve always been a sucker for paranormal and they just do it in spades for this show. It’s one I will always recommend.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon Especially the theory surrounding the actual Pentagram being Bill's brother as opposed to Gideon. Which is my favorite theory as well as one that I have to ask myself about when I think about this RP...Bill is still alive but in what form?

I had a bloody hard time figuring out my characters background and how to make it be cohesive with the information I have from the show as well as anything I could possibly link to his family in an interesting way.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon Is there anything I should change? Do you want anything added, and would you like me to post it again?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Dark Cloud

Ah you mean reverse falls. I don’t know much about the fandom that other people created. It is possible that there is another dimension where such a thing could occur if you think about the comics but all the information for the canon would be that it is not a possibility otherwise. I mean, I don’t want to ruin the show though by giving the evidence though XD

Anyway, as for your profile, I really like the direction it’s going in but if you could PM me and give a bit more detail on the direction you are going for the mother and the past grandma, that would be great. It’s kind of the same situation as Draconi where I need a little more detail to see if I accept but I don’t want you laying all your cards on the table for everything if you want the mystery. As I told Draconi, I am perfectly open to hearing ideas or coming to a compromise if I see something I am worried about.

[Dark Cloud]

@Akayaofthemoon I'll PM you shortly.

Honestly, I have a like-hate relationship with Alex Hirsch. I like him because he created the best animated TV show known to humankind. (Best live-action is WandaVision.)But I hate him because he ended the show after only two seasons.
Then again, some fans created really offensive ships and fanfic.
