Not so long ago, an animated series for viewers of different ages called "Gravity Falls" was released. He quickly gained a large number of fans, thanks to an exciting mysterious plot and interesting characters. In this article we will talk about the main villain of the animated series - Bill Cipher.
Who is Bill Cipher?
This is a very powerful creature, a demon by nature, which is able to penetrate the subconscious of people. He first appeared in Gravity Falls 30 years ago when Ford launched an explosion. It features mysterious behavior and sadistic inclinations. In the 1st season of the series appears episodically, but in the 2nd becomes one of the key characters.
Origin of bill
So, before answering the question, who is Bill Cipher, you need to find out how and when he appeared. The story of Bill begins trillions of years before the events described in the animated series. It arose in the 2nd dimension, which was contemplated and called the place of "flat minds with flat dreams." The cipher managed to break out of his native dimension, after which he burned it along with his family.
He soon learned that the third dimension could be combined with the dimension of Nightmares. From this moment it became his cherished dream. But to begin with, he needed to become a physical being, since in a spiritual form he could only visit other people's dreams. His first victims were natives who once lived on the lands of Gravity Falls. Bill managed to convince the tribal shaman to build an interstellar gate. Soon he learned about the intentions of the spirit, after which he destroyed the gate and set himself on fire. The apocalypse was stopped, but after these events the tribe was forced to relocate, and the land of Gravity Falls was called damned. The image of the culprit of these events can be seen in this article. A photo of Bill Cipher is presented below.
Character
Thus, we see that this ancient demon for centuries pursued the inhabitants of a city called Gravity Falls. Bill Cipher has a peculiar sense of humor. He is very strange, but charismatic, he speaks quickly. Bill is a clever manipulator that can pretend to be for everyone's benefit. So, they were deceived first by Ford, and then by Dipper. He is not always taken seriously due to constant jokes, but it quickly passes, if only Cipher gets angry. He does nothing if it is not beneficial to him. Therefore, any deal with the Cipher is beneficial only to the demon himself. Bill admits that he is insane. This is evidenced by his actions and behavior.
Appearance
Reminds a yellow triangle Bill Cipher ("Gravity Falls"). It has some similarities with the All-Seeing Eye and the Egyptian pyramid. Bill has only one eye with a vertical pupil of black color. It usually moves through the air and rarely sinks to the ground. He has thin black arms and legs. Bill wears a black bow-tie and the exact same color cylinder that hovers above his head. His limbs can move throughout the body. Sometimes it appears with a cane of gold or black. When the Cipher is angry, it turns red, and its butterfly and cylinder become white.
Abilities
Now we know who Bill Cipher is. However, we have not yet discussed his abilities. So, the main gift of Cipher is mind control. In addition, he has demon-specific abilities. For example, the conclusion of contracts for the fulfillment of desires with the one who called him. After Bill's command, everyone around them is in a kind of trance, it does not concern only the demon himself and the person who wants to make a deal. At the same time, the world becomes black and white, and the Cipher gets the opportunity to influence it. So, he can take all his teeth from a deer, and then return it back. People present at the same time do not notice anything and wake up from their numbness only after the departure of Bill.
A demon can fall into the human mind. Here he is able to manipulate anything. In addition, in a stranger’s head, he has access to all the information about the dreams, thoughts and secrets of man. Bill has great knowledge of both the past and the future. In addition, he is able to follow what is happening through any of his image. This explains why Cipher is always up to date.
He can expel a person’s soul from the body, as happened with Dipper. After that, the demon can move into an empty shell. At the same time, the human soul finds itself in a world of ghosts, where no one notices it. She cannot influence reality. Bill's original strength was limited. But after the interdimensional crack was destroyed, he received almost unlimited power over reality.
Ritual call
For the first time, we will find out who Bill Cipher is when baby Gideon calls him to hear about the code from Uncle Stan’s safe. A ritual requires a photograph of the victim. Her eyes should be gouged out. Then the image is placed in a circle along the edges of which there are 8 candles. Then you need to read the spell, which is written in one of Ford's diaries. After reading the eyes of the invoker begin to glow blue, and the sky turns gray. Then 5 times is pronounced "Zhdesem Sdrovkab." A gray triangle appears in the middle of which one eye opens, after which the creature takes on the usual look of the Cipher.
