The Ultimate Show: Curtain Call of the Multiverse

Bill Cipher is a two-dimensional interdimensional dream demon from the now destroyed dimension, Euclydia. Formerly existent only in the Mindscape, Bill briefly succeeded in gaining access to the real world and a physical form. He had been running amok in Gravity Falls, Oregon since being summoned by Ford Pines over thirty years ago. Known for his mysterious demeanor and sadistic humor, Bill is the main antagonist of the overall series.

He does not play a central role in the series until his first physical appearance in "Dreamscaperers", though he is pictured throughout the entire series, such as the rug in the Mystery Shack, the window in the building's attic and is pictured in the title sequence. His impact on those he's encountered has changed them for the better or worse.

BIOGRAPHY

Over one trillion years prior to the events of the series, Bill Cipher was born. He originated from a two-dimensional universe known as Euclydia. When he was born, he had Velcro shoes that squeaked when he ran and was beloved by everyone so much that the mayor declared his birthday a national holiday. On his birthday, Bill gave out free knives to everyone as a gift. In spite of this, however, Bill despised living there, describing it as a dimension of "flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams." There was one other thing about him that was different; he had a mutation that gave him an abnormally large eye that allowed him to see the third dimension. With that, he had the ability to see a direction known as "up," something all others of his dimension could not see. Despite talk of a "third" dimension was illegal in his world, Bill was unable to think of anything else but being able to join it.

Although boasting about having a good life, during an inebriated rant, he implied that his claims of a good childhood are false and that he was actually ostracized for his mutation, giving him the drive to finally make his race understand what he saw. In an event known as the "Euclidian Massacre", he "liberated" his dimension by plunging it into burning chaos, along with everyone he had ever known, including his own parents.[5] Possibly due to the inherent trauma of the event, he is unable to fully recount the details of the massacre (whenever he does, a loud buzzing noise begins in his ears and he blacks out). Given that, whether he even intended to commit the act to the extent that he did still remains unclear.

He eventually took over a boiling and shifting intergalactic foam between dimensions; a lawless and unstable crawlspace known as the Nightmare Realm. Unfortunately, due to the Nightmare Realm's lawlessness and lack of any consistent physics or rules, it was fated to eventually collapse on itself.[8] After coming to learn of a prophecy that stated he would merge the Nightmare Realm with the third dimension, Bill started coming into contact with humans to accomplish this. Without a physical form, however, Bill could only access the dreams of the third dimension's beings. In order to make his dealings with mortals easier, he took on the name "Bill Cipher" as his real name would "evaporate one with an expression of horror and ecstasy on their face."[9] Among his targets were the natives who lived in what would become the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon.

Bill once asked a local shaman named Modoc the Wise to build an interdimensional gateway to the Nightmare Realm, but the result was made out of twigs. When Modoc learned of the prophecy that foretold of an apocalyptic event that would stem from interactions with Bill Cipher, he committed suicide by setting himself on fire in an effort to avert it.

The natives eventually discovered a way to defeat Bill by using a zodiac with ten symbols. They left behind elaborate cave paintings about their encounter with the demon, including how to summon him, and more importantly, a warning never to read the incantation that would summon Bill aloud. The valley was deemed a "cursed land" by the natives, who evacuated around 1000 AD.[10] The area would eventually be rediscovered by Quentin Trembley and repopulated by pioneers, giving rise to the town of Gravity Falls.

For the next centuries, Bill attempted to get his portal built with the help of various other humans from the ancient Egyptians, Aztecs and even Easter Island heads. His attempts in the dark ages with a wizard gave rise to "Cipherstitions" in the old, causing him to flee to the new world to try and get his portal built there. Bill tried using New England settlers to no avail and even convince the leaders of the then newly created America to help him. His attempts would lead to the rise and fall of a group in 1901 known as the Anti-Cipher Society that tried to defeat him and spread awareness about his deception. They were deemed a joke and disbanded.

In 1952, Bill possessed a dead body of an infamous conman named Silas Birchtree, who used his charisma to start a cult named Ciphertology in the Kansas town of Orchard Lake. Almost every citizen became the member of his cult, except for Emmaline Butternubbins, a local nag who knew about his true identity. Bill then ordered his members to build a portal for him, but before he could finish it, his signals were picked up by the law enforcement, who arrived to shoot down the cultists, along with Bill in Silas' body. Bill tried to deliver one last message to people, but Silas' body got decapitated, as he left it, and his cult seemingly disbanded. Bill would later attempt to get his portal built with the help of animation in the 1930s that led to a failed and cancelled series about him, using nuclear tests to get it going, hiding cryptic messages in music, creating computers and even dolls. Despite all these failed attempts, his closest chance at success came when one day, someone broke the Shaman's curse, allowing him to return to Gravity Falls, Oregon.

In the late twentieth century, a young man named Stanford Pines, who had spent the past six years investigating the town's plethora of unnatural creatures and oddities, hit a roadblock in his research and was left without answers as to how the improbabilities of Gravity Falls had come to be. During the roadblock, he uncovered the cave containing the ancients' stories of Bill Cipher. Heedless of the warnings, Ford repeated the incantation aloud, breaking the curse and summoning Bill into his mindscape. Bill recognized Ford's brilliant but cocky and insecure nature, and his near-friendlessness as ideal conditions for manipulation, choosing to introduce himself to Ford as a muse who chose one brilliant mind every century to inspire.

It was Bill who revealed to Ford that Gravity Falls' weirdness was caused by a rift between dimensions, through which the other side's weirdness leaked through. With Bill's assistance, Stanford drafted blueprints to create an inter-dimensional gateway beneath it and his home (later becoming the Mystery Shack), recruiting his college roommate and friend Fiddleford McGucket for assistance. As Bill and Ford's partnership seemingly grew to friendship, Ford seemed to develop an obsession with Bill's powers, collecting triangular memorabilia such as rugs and statues, modeling his home's architecture in his image, converting his private study into a place of worship. He even allowed the demon to enter his mind; this, along with the amount of information he seemed to simply produce on the spot, made Fiddleford increasingly uneasy of the portal and of Ford's mysterious collaborator, as Ford never mentioned Bill's identity to his partner.

On January 18, 1983, Ford and Fiddleford performed their first trial with the active portal, which quickly went awry, as the rope that was attached to the dummy they intended to send through the portal became tangled with Fiddleford, sending him briefly through the portal head-first. Upon his return, an alienated Fiddleford muttered incoherencies before uttering a prediction about "the beast with just one eye." It is later revealed that Fiddleford saw Bill removing his exoskeleton to feed. He promptly abandoned the project.

The suspicion planted in him by Fiddleford led to a confrontation between Ford and Bill, during which Ford learned that Bill had tricked him, as the portal was meant to act as a gateway to the Nightmare Realm, allowing the demon to bring chaos and destruction into their universe. Horrified and betrayed, Ford shut down the project and attempted to destroy all knowledge of the portal, before accidentally falling through it himself. Bill either could not see Ford in the thirty years he spent lost in other dimensions or did not care to, as Ford would remark that they had not seen each other in many years. With the loss of his human pawn, Bill also lost physical access to the third dimension. Despite trying to come up with other schemes, he remained more or less inactive from trying to find a new pawn.

APPEARANCE

Bill is a yellow, two-dimensional and triangular creature that bears a strong resemblance to the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States, which in turn consists of the Eye of Providence and an unfinished Egyptian pyramid. The color of his body briefly becomes lighter when he speaks. Often when he appears, the area he appears in takes on a washed-out monochrome appearance. It is unknown whether this effect physically occurs, or if it is simply a visual effect to bring attention to his appearance.

He has a single large eye with a slit pupil, rimmed with four short black lashes on the top and bottom, though sometimes there are three on the top and four on the bottom. He moves around mostly by floating about and rarely actually stands on his own legs. He has thin, black limbs, wears a small, black bow tie and a tall, thin, black top hat that floats just above his head. He has no mouth whatsoever, though has been shown using his eye as one to drink something. His arms do not seem to be in any fixed position and can move along the perimeter of his body without any difficulty. He occasionally carries a small black or yellow cane. The lower part of his body has a brick-like pattern of lines. He has no fixed size and he has been shown to be as small as a hand and tower over the Mystery Shack.

In the book Dipper and Mabel and the Curse of the Time Pirates' Treasure!: Select Your Own Choose-Venture it is strongly implied by the Axolotl's poem about Bill that he's an equilateral triangle: the first verse says "sixty degrees that come in threes", and equilateral triangles have three internal angles of 60° each.

However, when he gets angry, his voice deepens significantly, the color of his body turns red and his eye turns black with a white pupil, (in close-up, his eye shows a red iris.) and everything on his body that was previously black turns white.

PERSONALITY

Bill is a cunning, blasphemous, eccentric, sadistic, psychopathic and physically irreverent being who finds most things amusing, particularly if they cause distress or harm to others. He is outrageous and outlandish, as well as a quick talker and thinker. Though he may come across as simply annoying, he shouldn't be underestimated; for when he is angered, he is a force to be reckoned with as he will unleash his near-omnipotent powers on those unfortunate enough to make him angry. When accused of being insane, Bill proudly agrees with the statement. He is also shown to be somewhat obnoxious, as seen when he makes his presence known to Dipper when the latter is trying to figure out a password within a limited amount of time. Occasionally, his voice tumbles to a lower pitch (usually when emphasizing a statement).

As a demonic dealmaker, Bill is also shown to be a highly manipulative, very charismatic and charming conman being able to easily trick Ford Pines into believing that he was just a humble muse who simply wished to help benefit the human world by providing him with forbidden knowledge when in reality he was only ever using the researcher for his own purposes with the book smart Ford noting that the only person who could've possibly seen the ruse for what it was, was his much more street smart brother Stan Pines, who was himself an expert conman.

Bill is not one who believes in rules. Instead, he follows his own selfish philosophy which means doing whatever he wants without care for the consequences. He thinks of laws and physics as senseless and displays an irresistible urge to break those rules down by causing absolute chaos however he can. The lives he ruins hold no merit to him and he finds amusement in tormenting and turning people's worlds upside-down. He also sees reality as "an illusion" and values its destruction.

When possessing Dipper's body, Bill is shown to be rather masochistic, hurting himself in various ways for the thrill of it, exclaiming that "pain is hilarious." He seems to have little knowledge about the human body, specifically its physical limits. This comes back to haunt him when he fights Mabel over Journal 3, as he eventually falls down, physically exhausted.

As shown in "Weirdmageddon Part 1," he also reacts sadistically whenever a would-be subject oversteps their boundaries, such as when he shuffles "the function of every hole in Preston Northwest's face", and in "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls" when he decides to kill one of the Pines twins "just for the heck of it."

Asriel Dreemurr, later known as Flowey the Flower, is the main antagonist of the 2015 indie RPG Undertale.

He is the first character to meet Frisk after the latter loses their way and falls into the Underground, and would eventually go on to become their archenemy. Flowey primarily appears as a small golden flower, hence his name. It is eventually revealed Flowey is the soulless reincarnation of Asriel Dreemurr, a young monster who was murdered by humans. After having his ashes scattered on a flowerbed, he was reborn as Flowey once Dr. Alphys injected Determination onto one of the flowers. After discovering he could control the entire timeline, Flowey eventually devolved into a sadistic monster who believed himself to be a god, and became focused on defeating Frisk once they stole his control over the Underground.

APPEARANCE

Flowey usually appears as a sentient, grinning golden flower with a white androecium, six yellow petals, and a light green stem. He can contort his face into a variety of expressions and mimic the faces and voices of other characters. He mimics Toriel and Asgore in some situations, as well as his old self at the end of the Genocide Route. He also mimics the protagonist's face before the Neutral Route's final battle.

Photoshop Flowey: After absorbing the human SOULs, Flowey transforms into a grotesque, flower-shaped hybrid of plant tissue, human organs, and machinery. Consisting entirely of rendered images, Photoshop Flowey is stylistically different from anything else in the game.

He has two sideways jaws, with tiny lumps on the end, and has two orifices that resemble nostrils, as well as an eye on each side with moving and pulsating irises, located within hollowed mouths. On top of his "face", he has a box TV that switches between a smiling face with huge teeth and sideways eyes that flash red and green. It will also flash vague, distorted black and white images of a terrified human face. The bottom of the mouth can overlap the TV's frame. He has metal, bumpy pipes that resemble petals and connect to the television and the jaws of his "face".

These jaws have floating eyes with moving and pulsating irises. He has many tubes that exit behind his monstrous form, and big, thick vines that move away from him. He has cactus-like arms with red claws and dangling vines with leaves on them. His hands have the ability to retract and transform into Venus Flytraps.

Photoshop Flowey's new body resembles that of the DT Extraction Machine's structure, albeit now filled with teeth, gums, and eyeballs. Alphys used this machine to extract Determination from six previously captured human SOULs - the same SOULs that Photoshop Flowey uses to power himself.

Asriel Dreemurr: Similar to Toriel and Asgore, Asriel is a goat with long ears, a snout, and visible fangs. In his initial form, he wears a green, long-sleeved shirt with yellow stripes and black pants, similar to Chara's clothing. He also has a small wisp of fur on his head and lacks horns.

God of Hyperdeath: This form is named directly in the game, where the "Check" option labels Asriel as "the absolute GOD of Hyperdeath!" The sclerae of his eyes become black, his fangs become longer, and he has a pair of horns. He wears a long dark robe with white sleeves and the Delta Rune on the front, with a large collar and shoulder pads. This robe is similar to Toriel's. He also wears a locket similar to the Heart Locket.

ASRIEL: Asriel's body becomes more geometric, his horns are longer, and his teeth get sharper. He has a pair of wings that continuously change color, and his lower body becomes sharp and heart-shaped.

While this form is not directly named, being referred to as simply ASRIEL, it resembles the Delta Rune, which looks like the "Angel of Death" from the prophecy.

PERSONALITY

Initially, Flowey operates under a façade of friendliness and politeness. He often greets the protagonist with southern jargon, such as "Howdy!", calls himself "your best friend", and (like his father) appends polite words such as "gosh" and "golly" to the ends of his sentences. Whenever he drops this guise of friendliness, he often calls the protagonist an "idiot". Due to lacking a soul, Flowey can't feel any positive emotions such as happiness (unless it's from sadism) or love (despite his best efforts to feel it).

Flowey has a malevolent and cruel disposition, berating the protagonist for not following his "kill or be killed" philosophy. Despite this, he also criticizes the protagonist at the end of the Ruins if they killed any monster. He is a greedy, arrogant, egocentric, manipulative, devious, sly, and cunning planner, who is subtle if the circumstances require it. He retains his memories between SAVEs because he was once able to SAVE.

Sans is the only monster Flowey is wary of, or maybe even fears. This relationship goes as far as telling Frisk to stay aware from him if they do multiple Neutral Runs and actively trying to make sure Sans won't know anything about him. Flowey implies that Sans fought him multiple times back when the flower had the power to RESET, causing many RESETS to happen. In contrast, Flowey is friends with his brother, Papyrus, although this causes everyone else to think the skeleton has an imaginary friend due to hiding from everyone.

Before his death, Asriel was a docile, unadventurous and loving child. He cared for Chara as a sibling, and he trusted them when they came up with a plan to escape the Underground that involved them consuming buttercups. After Alphys resurrects him without a SOUL as Flowey, Asriel becomes incapable of feeling love or empathy, which in turn causes him to become resentful, twisted, and evil.

THE CHAOS HEART

The Chaos Heart is a legendary artifact born from the Dark Prognosticus. A black, heart-shaped force of unimaginable power, it governs The Void—a dimension-destroying force that brings the end of all reality. The heart can only be summoned under specific conditions: when a furious monster king and a maiden princess are forcibly wed (in this case, Bowser and Peach). As shown in the opening of Super Paper Mario, the Chaos Heart is untouchable by ordinary means—Luigi’s powerful jump attack proves useless against it. Once claimed, it transfers its devastating powers and invulnerability to its bearer.
