CHARACTER Name: Dipper Pines Canon: Gravity Falls Timeline: post Summerween, episode 12 If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: "When life gives you lemons, extract the juice and use it to draw a treasure map in invisible ink. That really works! Seriously!"
Dipper could possibly be compared to a child version of Agent Mulder - no matter how bizarre a situation is, he completely believes it is happening and pursues it without hesitation. While he relies on his wits and resourcefulness, he's still just a little kid and sometimes it shows. He gets easily annoyed when he's told he's too young or not old enough and takes great offense to being called little anything. Despite this however he's extremely level headed and intelligent, having a lot more common sense than those in his immediate family and most of those around him. Wise beyond his years, he applies logic and planning to problem solving.
Despite of some of the kids normally his age, Dipper is actually pretty nice despite the fact that he can be selfish at times. He's quite sensitive, often taking things to heart while people might not mean what they actually say. He's neurotic, compulsively making a list on the idea that things will go his way if he follows a plan. There have been hints that he has a sacrificial lamb sentimentality, from the lamb costume he's made to wear to entertain the spirits in The Inconveniencing to the lamb shears Gideon tried using on him in The Hand That Rocks The Mabel. He'd do pretty much anything for his twin sister, even if she does irritate him. They're direct foils of each other, with Mable being the one more inclined to be silly than as straight laced as Dipper is (her silliness even helps them solve a mystery in Irrational Treasure).
Perhaps part of Dipper that stands out is his courage and recklessness. From the get go, he's constantly doing reckless things from driving a golf cart to rescue Mabel from gnomes that he believes are a zombie to feeling like he has to prove his manliness by training with Manotaurs. He's not entirely chivalrous, though he does often step aside to let someone else through first and definitely has plenty of nerve. The first thing Dipper learns in Gravity Falls is 'trust no one', but throws this to the wind and trusts in his twin sister Mabel. She is pretty much the only one he's loyal to other than the other members of the Mystery Shack family (Soos, Wendy and Grunkle Stan), but his berserk buttons are pushed when Mabel in particular is in danger. He does most of the work when it comes to solving the mysteries of Gravity Falls, and although he does seem to value fair play he's capable of fighting dirty and seems to have a fair amount of tolerance for everyone who isn't Robbie.
Dipper is not only smart, but he's the textbook bookworm, using logic to solve most of the mysteries and dramas happening in Gravity Falls, Oregon. He's very interestred in riddles, often refusing to sit still when puzzles, usually restless without something to do and almost always seen with Book 3 in hand. He's paranoid but not quite to the point where he wouldn't trust his sister despite what the words in the book say. He's also quite witty and intelligent, interested in learning about the mysteries of Gravity Falls and has head to toe creativity and genre savvyness. While he likes to think of himself as the leader out of the twins, Dipper is fairly resourceful. He created the shrinking and enlarging ray by taking apart an old flashlight and inserting the crystal, and took along seventeen cameras when he went to hunt for the lake monster with Soos and Mabel. He doesn't really have much ambition aside from wanting to solve mysteries, but he does have some cunning that helps him against his enemies.
Although Mabel is often the silly twin, Dipper isn't without his own humor, often providing snarky comic relief. He's a quick thinker, often working under stressfull and life threatening situations when faced with Gravity Falls' supernatural and when it looks like there's no way out he quickly finds a solution to the problem at hand. He tends to have small instances of insecurity and self doubt, needing to prove himself not only to himself but also to others, an example being in The Inconveniencing when he constantly tries to one-up anyone who questions his credibility as an almost-teen. In the end though, he's just a kid despite his smarts and wit.
First Person: [The whole mess with the Summerween Trickster over, he had allowed himself to breathe a sigh of relief and go to bed like a normal kid. Knowing that you accidentally summoned a candy demon was, well, jarring to say the least. He likes to think he's smart for his age and, well, not to toot his own horn but he is. Living in Gravity Falls for the last month or however long it has been, you'd think he knows better than to brush off local lore, but a lot of things have gone wrong tonight. He's just glad he made up with Mabel for being a jerk.
Waking up on a train is not what he expects, and at first he thinks he's dreaming. And then he pinches himself and he isn't dreaming. Well great. There are a few dozen questions rolling through his head but at the moment the important thing is seeing if anyone is around after he steps off the train. Figuring out the watch-like device is easy, if not a bit of trial and error, but at least it looks like he has a way of communicating.
Who with...well, that's to be decided, isn't it?]
Is...is this thing on? Can anyone hear me? Hello? Mabel? Grunkle Stan?
Third Person: Despite his first apprehensions about waking up in a strange place without anyone familiar around, Dipper had taken to living in the city quite well. Being a city boy (as much as he hated to prove Sheriff Blubs right, and he so hated to), he was used to city life, adjusting to it like he was just back home in Piedmont, California. But there was still a few important factors consider especially.
Number one was how much he missed his sister. Mabel could annoy him at times but she was the most important person in his life, that was for certain. She was his comfort, his rock with all her silly wisdom and a constant source of cheer when he was down. It was just unfortunate that it took nearly getting eaten by a candy monster to show him that. You only had one twin in your life, and there was no way he'd be letting Mabel out of his sight if she came to the city.
A small part of him hoped she wouldn't.
Number two was the fact that this city was filled with so many strange people. If Dipper had thought Gravity Falls had been full of weird, there was even more weird here. The book didn't say anything about trolls but he didn't think the ones back home would be strange space aliens, an example at the very least.
Number three was wondering how everyone back at Gravity Falls was taking his disappearance, if it was something noticeable. He liked to think he was a likable guy, at the very least one with a few friends under his belt. Still, if there was a way into this city there was a way out. Dipper just hadn't found it yet.
And if there was one thing Dipper prided himself on, it was figuring out a situation. Sure the city had eluded him so far but he was a thinker. He'd find a way. And even if he didn't, at least for now he had a roof over his head. He could deal with that.
