Sphinxford’s Profile
Name: Stanford “Ford” Pines
Age: 58
Gender: Male
Species: Sphinx
Abilities: incredibly intelligent, more strength/endurance than a normal human, ability to walk/sneak/run on four limbs with ease, claws/fangs, night vision, flight
Appearance: Ford has messy brown hair, which is greying at the edges, and light brown/tan fur covering his whole body. He mainly looks like a humanoid lion; he’s got a lion’s tail, ears, nose, eyes, and paws (his front paws have six digits each). However, his large blue and scarlet wings clearly define him as a sphinx. He wears glasses, though he’s found that, after the change into a sphinx, he needs them less, especially in the dark. His clothing, of course, varies, though he is rather fond of the long jacket and scarf he’d acquired while in an alternate dimension.
Relations: Stanley “Stan” Pines (twin brother), Dipper Pines (great nephew), Mabel Pines (great niece)
Personality: Ford has always had a very nerdy personality, loving everything about the supernatural, science, or even games like Dungeons, Dungeons, and more Dungeons. He gets every bit as excited by new discoveries, though the years in an alternate dimension hardened his personality considerably; he still has a hard time just enjoying new creatures or experiences, and not immediately jumping to the thoughts of ‘is it a threat or not and what are its weaknesses’.
Ford enjoys his great nice and nephew considerably, though he sometimes wishes Dipper was a little less like him. He… sometimes enjoys Stan’s company, and is no doubt glad to see him again, though he still harbors some resentment towards his twin for messing up his life. He can get along with others, too, though he tends to try to avoid them as much as possible, as he isn’t too used to people anymore, after all the time he spent in an alternate dimension with little to no human contact.
Side Affects of the Curse: After his transformation into a Sphinx (due to drinking some of the bottled fluventis water before anyone realized it was magical), Ford has gained several annoying new… behaviors. His mischievous side tends to act up more often, and more than once he’d have to catch himself before he started preening, or licking his fur clean (shudder). He’s still omnivorous, more or less, though occasionally he’ll have cravings for raw meat, which can usually be satisfied with his emergency supply of beef jerkey, or very rare steak (he refuses to let his instincts control him and make him actually eat raw meat). He’s also gained a new appreciation for cat nip and warm, sunny spots on floors.
