Washford

Former acrobat, Washford is a wordsmith and a lover of tragedies, especially those written by Shakespeare, with Macbeth being his favorite one by far. The reason why he's so attached to the gloomy atmosphere is because of the great pain he feels inside on account of a tragic "incident" that he dubs the "Pale Betrayal" which saw his then lover Drysdale, the dryer, go at it with another man without consulting him and in the middle of a performance. At least, that's what he saw. But in all truthfulness, he misses his performer days and Drysdale terribly, though his cold demeanor and broken trust makes him unable to go back until he hears a proper apology from his former partner.

He likes The Written Word, The Thrill of Performance, The Sad Yet Sweet Suffering of the Intelligent Appliance.

He dislikes washing clothes.

In his object form, Washford is a washing machine with blue accents that sits in the laundry room under a dryer with orange accents. Through the Dateviators he becomes a tall, muscular man in his mid 50s, his well toned physique in line with his previous occupation as an acrobat. He's got a chiseled face with a strong jaw, ice blue eyes, long strawberry blonde hair streaked with gray that he keeps tied with a white bow and finely groomed beard and mustache. He has very large shoulders and the rest of his chest takes a more square shape because of this. He still wears his suit from his tumbler days which consists of a white long sleeved shirt opened in the middle with blue accents on the shoulders, blue tights with a pair of suspenders decorated with buttons you'd find on a washer, a pair of silver bracelets on each wrist, a silver belt that reminds of the inside of a washer and a huge see-through blue button shaped like a washer door. Washford comes across as cold, melancholic and very pessimistic on account of feeling betrayed by his old flame Drysdale seemingly cheating on him with Dirk, the dirty laundry, a young man who worked with them by lending his clothes for their numbers. Despite feeling betrayed and dubbing the incident "The Pale Betrayal", Washford misses Drysdale and mourns the loss by indulging in poetry, often reciting dramatic verses that most of the time have to do with storms, death or betrayal. He speaks very elegantly in casual conversations too, having a very deep and commanding voice, and if he can help it he tries to avoid vulgar language. Though he may come across as stoic, he's actually very sensitive when it comes to things that insult him. He's very picky with his partners, wanting to be only with someone that shares his same interests. Only exception to this is with Drysdale. He used to call Drysdale "Drydee" as a pet name.
