5	Dipper Pines
6	----
7
8	* AdorableAbomination: Dipper in his star-mode form, which is basically Bill's regular form, except it's a child-sized star shaped object with a top hat and miniature bat wings; reminiscing of a plush toy. It needs to be reminded that this 'toy' is the same demon who regularly slaughters cults on a daily basis. His form as his [[AdorablyPrecociousChild 12-year old self]] also counts too, since it's young Dipper in a suit with a floating top hat.
9	* AffablyEvil: As Alcor he's courteous, well-mannered and polite. Summoners who interact with him would often be surprise on how this fearful demon can be a good companion to hang around with. That is if you're one of his friends or loved ones, or if he's even in a good mood...
10	* TheAgeless: After he becomes a demon, Dipper is no longer able to age or die. Although his true form is his 12-year old self, he always appears as a young man in his early twenties. His [[{{Shapeshifting}} shape-shifting abilities ]] do enable him to change his form to appear whatever he wants, which he uses to appear as the same age as Mabel during her lifetime and later Belle's, Mabel's [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnation]].
11	* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Alcor Can Breathe in Space]]: There are times when Alcor plays the violin on the ''moon''.
12	* AlternateSelf: In the Transdimensional Arcs, Dipper/Alcor is presented as an alternate future counterpart to his pre-Transcendence 12-year old self.
13	* AndIMustScream: Dipper's early experiences since he was turned into a demon were unpleasant; no one could hear his cries for help nor notice him and lost his physical senses. Not to mention he was going through a slow transformation from human to demon (or as Mabel calls it, demon puberty) which left him confused and scared of his current state. If Mabel hadn't been able to see and hear him, he would have lose it easily.
14	* AnimalMotif: Dipper's been compared to a cat more than once by his sister and when under the influence of Yggdrasil acts like a big cat. Not to mention his "gifts" are akin to a cat leaving dead things to people they like. Ironically Dipper's not fond of cats.
15	* AntiHero: Less of a ClassicalAntiHero than he was in Gravity Falls' canon, giving in to his demonic instincts or his own vindictive streak on a regular basis.
16	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Dipper has a tendency to throw several of these whenever he's messing with someone--a sign that he's becoming manipulative with his targets. A notable example comes from the Transdimensional Arc, when his counterpart insists that he would ''never'' try to take his own sister's soul, only for Alcor to calmly ask him if he'd do it if it meant saving Mabel's life.
17	* AuraVision: As a demon, Dipper has an enhanced version that allows him to read someone's feelings based on their aura's colors.
18	* AxeCrazy: Dipper's normally not this, but whenever he's in full demon mode either because a cult enraging him, suffering an info dump or a magical storm affecting him, he's plays it damn straight. One of the reasons Alcor is feared by the majority is because of his fickleness and unpredictability; [[MoodSwinger one minute he's a charming and pleasant demon, the next he's a maniac who relishes in causing chaos and destruction indiscriminately]].
19	* BadassBookworm: Dipper was already an intelligent boy for his age, but he becomes this after he inherited Bill Cipher's powers along with his semi-omniscient; becoming powerful demon feared by all.
20	* BadassInANiceSuit: As a demon, he wears a stylish black suit.
21	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Sure, he is a demon now, but he is still Dipper.
22	* {{BerserkButton}}: Hurt his friends and family and you will pray for the mercy of death.
23	** He gets extremely angry when people try to sacrifice children or sheep to him.
24	** Bill Cipher. As the reason for his becoming CursedWithAwesome, Alcor could very well be the only entity who hates Bill more than even Stanford Pines, a man who spent ''thirty years wandering the multiverse gathering materials to build a weapon to destroy Cipher.'' Many a fanfic, and even the canonical Transdimensional Arc, features Alcor and Bill going toe-to-toe, ending their Weirdmageddons/Transcendences/Oddpocalypses along with the triangular madman's life.
25	** The Twin Stars book series (think Twilight, except with Dipper/Alcor as Edward and Mabel/Mizar as Bella).Clearly, the author of that series is a fan of the dreaded Pinecest, or is simply unaware of the true connection between them.
26	* BecomingTheMask: Whenever he's pretending to be human to blend in the real world, it's initially for a reason or two. However, he does end up caring for the people he befriended during his guise.
27	** Prior to the RRR arc, Dipper made a deal with Lionel Sterling to save his infant daughter, Belle, the current Mizar reincarnation. In exchange for repairing her lungs, Dipper will be Belle's twin brother and grow up with her; which Dipper seals away his memories and powers so he can play human. He initially did so because Belle was Mabel's reincarnation and was missing her dearly, however as Dipper Sterling, he didn't remember Mabel or being Alcor. He lead a normal life with his 'father' and 'twin sister', that even after the events of RRR when he regained all his memories and powers, he still views Belle as his sister and her own person and Lionel as his father.
28	** When he masqueraded as demonology student Tyrone Evergreen in ''So You Want To Be A Demonologist?'' storyline, he initially did it as a bet with Lucy Ann and was planning on a big reveal at the end of the graduation ceremony. Dipper ended up befriending the Demonology Gang despite remaining secretive and grew to care for them, enjoying their company. He even decided to back out of his plans of the big reveal since he didn't know how his friends would take the news, but started making plans on it when they learn of his true identity and are cool with it. Though [[OnlySaneMan Thomas]] convinced him to not go through with the reveal as he'll have to get a new identity then.
29	* BeneathTheMask: Throughout the years, Alcor has developed different masks for his persona. As Alcor, to humans, demons, and the supernatural alike, his appearance as a [[TheDreaded fearsome]], [[AxeCrazy unpredictable]], [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld ancient]], charismatic and confident demon hides his [[NobleDemon more benevolent]] if [[TheGadfly playful and tricky]] self he shows to [[FriendToAllChildren children]]. Then there's the Alcor who's eccentric NobleDemon self hides his more childish, goofy and nerdy mask which he only shows to people he's close to. All of these mask who he really is at his core; Dipper Pines, the boy who desires to fit in and still does, who is eternally 12-years old and struggles to retain his humanity and morality, which becomes harder as he [[BecomingTheMask becomes used to being Alcor]].
30	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Just because he's got a sense of morality doesn't mean he'll go easy on you.
31	* BigBrotherInstinct: An inversion example. Dipper considers himself the more responsible and mature twin and looks out for Mabel even after he becomes a demon and will go after anyone who dares hurt her, but restrains himself from doing anything that Mabel won't approve. Plays straight with Mabel's reincarnation as he's older than them and still looks out for them.
32	* BigEater: Whenever he's corporeal, Dipper always takes the chance to gorge himself with food while still being skinny as a rake. Ranging from consuming large sums of [[BreadEggsMilkSquick sweets, fried food and raw meat]]. His lack of self-control stems from missing the sensation of taste that he can't have whenever he's in the Dreamscape. WordOfGod explains that demon stomachs are actually tiny pocket dimensions - any substance they devour goes to a space where demons must consciously digest their meal in order to extract the energy they need, when they need it -- a large storage tank.
33	* BlackEyesOfCrazy: {{Downplayed}}, Dipper has black sclera and [[SupernaturalGoldEyes golden eyes]] but still retains his sense of morality despite being a demon. Whenever Alcor unleashes his wrath on [[AssholeVictims ill-intentioned summoners]], fighting other demons and supernatural adversaries or during his more demonic episodes, this is played terrifyingly straight.
34	* BlessedWithSuck: After being turned into a demon by Bill, Dipper inherits all of Bill's powers--he can [[PlayingWithFire easily control flames]], [[DreamWalker enter and manipulate dreams]], [[MindOverMatter powerful telekinesis]], {{Flight}}, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]], {{Teleportation}}, [[KnowledgeBroker Bill's semi-omniscient]], [[CompleteImmortality immortality]], and more. In addition, his status as a HalfHumanHybrid enables him to interact with the physical plane more easily, making him a powerful RealityWarper who is continuously growing more powerful. Unfortunately, it came with a price; Dipper's future was stolen from him at the age of twelve and aside from inheriting Bill's powers and semi-omniscient, has also inherited [[{{Sadist}} unwanted traits]] and [[TheSociopath quirks]] from the dead demon. Not to mention Dipper has to deal with [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity controlling with his more violent and malicious demonic impulses]]--[[HeWhoFightsMonsters at risk of losing his humanity and morality]], and fearing he would hurt or kill his loved ones in his madness. Not only that, his early days as a demon has him unable to experience senses as he used unless he's summon, constantly detached from reality for a long time and [[PowerIncontinence didn't know how to control his powers]]. Not to mention Mabel, the only one able to see and hear him in his early days, was [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer alienated by her classmates]] outside Gravity Falls because of it and has cursed her and her reincarnations to forever be Mizar [[spoiler: due to owning her soul]]. Plus his semi-omniscient would constantly give him useless facts that he doesn't need, and even bombard him with "info dumps" that he [[GoMadFromTheRevelation can't completely handle]] [[WasOnceAMan due to being human before]] or the info he receives are the exact date and time his loved ones will die. Additionally, his immortality ensures that he will always [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outlive his friends and loved ones]], repeating the cycle again with their reincarnations, [[GoMadFromTheIsolation slowly growing more insane the longer he's separated with humanity]]. And then there's the fact because he's a powerful demon, he would [[PersonOfMassDestruction cause disasters and destruction in his wake]], unintentionally or not and is constantly sought out by many, with ill-intentioned people desiring to capture and bind him to their every command. And even with all his powers, there are things his [[DealWithTheDevil demon deals]] can't do as much as he wants. Though once Dipper has accepted his demon status and gotten used being Alcor, [[CursedWithAwesome his powers and abilities comes back being awesome]].
35	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Dipper still retains his sense of morality and standards but he's still a demon nonetheless and some of his demon natured morals don't make any sense to anyone sane. This is especially prominent as he lives longer and has gotten used to his demon that he'll do questionable things simply out of kicks.
36	* BreakingSpeech: Dipper delivering these occurs whenever he's going through his demonic episodes, in an attempt to mess with his targets.
37	* BrotherSisterTeam: With Mabel whenever cult bashing, both known as Alcor and Mizar.
38	* BullyingTheDragon: Although Dipper is feared by many, there are still a few cocky demons, [[SmugSnake smug summoners]], demon hunters, HolierThanThou people, and [[LoonyFan crazy Twinners]] who don't think twice in messing with the most powerful demon.
39	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dipper's still a lovable if slightly dorky and geeky brother and uncle who has a huge sweet tooth and still enjoys Dungeons, Dungeons And More Dungeons to his family and friends and is also known to be one of the most powerful demons who regularly slaughters cults on a daily basis and destroy his surroundings during his rampages.
40	* CastingAShadow: One of his common powers, as it involves cloaking himself in shadows or shroud the area in darkness.
41	* CasualDangerDialog: Whenever Dipper and Mizar go cult-busting, they would talk about random topics, even if they are attacked by cult members. Reincarnation Blues exemplifies this when Mira and Alcor go on one of their cult-bashing and are talking about Ian and again [[spoiler: when they ambush a hidden government facility to rescue Ian]].
42	* CelibateHero: He is asexual and aromantic ever since he became a demon. Doesn't stop Twin Souls from shipping him among other creepy fantasies much to his dismayed.
43	* ChallengeSeeker: As with all demons, Dipper can't resist a challenge. In fact, he becomes gleefully ecstatic whenever he's challenged by someone, whether in regards to his intellect, trickery, pranks, skills or anything in general. He does [[GracefulLoser congratulates his opponents]] if they [[WorthyOpponent best him]], mostly because he had fun from the challenge and is satisfied. [[FatalFlaw However, his stubbornness to back out of a challenge does often land him and others into trouble or potential risks due to the consequences]].
44	* CheshireCatGrin: Is often mentioned to have a smile that stretches across his face whether as a demon or pretending to be human, befitting his [[TheTrickster demonic nature]]. His double row of razor sharp teeth makes them even more unnerving.
45	* ClassyCane: He often has a cane in his hands which he occasionally uses it as a [[SwordCane sword cane]].
46	* CombatSadomasochist: Just as he is likely to be ruthless and sadistic to his foes, he is likely to enjoy pain to the point of laughing. This comes from the fact that he's deprived from any sense of touch that he ''welcomes'' it. This more or less scares him at first since he understood why Bill enjoys pain.
47	* CompleteImmortality: Though it's possible to kill him, Dipper has gotten so powerful that it's '''impossible''' to kill him at all.
48	* CoolUncle: To Mabel's children, and many of their descendants.
49	* CrazySane: He manages to act on his demon instincts while retaining his sense of morality and humanity.
50	* CreepyChild: Since becoming demon, he gives this vibe whether intentional or not, though he's really a cool guy. He can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change his appearance]] into his 12-year old self, invoking this trope. Ironically, some of the children who summon him give this off which even ''[[TheDreaded Dipper]]'' finds disturbing.
51	* CreepyGood: He's a demon who still retains his sense of morality but nonetheless terrifies others (mostly cults).
52	* CulturedBadass: Dipper's a powerful demon who's well-known for his talent in playing the violin.
53	* CursedWithAwesome: He was forcibly changed into an immortal dream demon who's always struggling with his own inner demons even when he's used to his demon impulses. That being said though, Dipper admits that this transformation has its perks when he masters his abilities, using his powers to do as much good as he can, and being immortal ensures that he is able to meet different people in his lifetime and watch over Mizar and her reincarnations. What's more, being [[TheDreaded Alcor]] gives him the power to protect the innocent and his loved ones and is feared enough that no one would think of messing with him or his loved ones.
54	* DarkIsNotEvil: Sure he's now a demon who gained Bill's powers (along with some unwanted personality quirks) and his demonic form is a black void and likely to make a deal more on his favor, he still cares for his family and friends and is more lenient and fair to amateur summoners and children and dislikes cults or anyone in general making human sacrifices just to summon a demon.
55	* DeadpanSnarker: He is just as snarky like in the Gravity Falls canon, though he gains a darker and morbid sense of humor and years after the Transcendence he's even snarkier than before. He uses dry sarcasm only around his sister, Stan and some summoners who summon him for the most unreasonable deals.
56	* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Despite rarely doing it, Dipper's [[NotSoAboveItAll not above]] assuming his child form whether to gain the advantage in guilt-trip Mabel or anyone whenever he wants something (usually candy), or just to be a [[TheGadfly little]] [[{{Troll}} troll]]. He also does it whenever under-cover on a mission either to throw people off or to lure targets in without any suspicion.
57	* DemonicPossession: As a demon, Dipper has this ability though he mostly uses it on [[WillingChanneler Mabel]] in his early days when he wasn't able to be corporal. Now he doesn't do it often since he can be corporeal anytime he wants. He also once possessed Henry's body in order to hunt down a [[{{Wendigo}} wendigo]].
58	* DissonantSerenity: Dipper often has a cheery and laidback demeanor in the face of danger or during a tight situation--whether it be surrounded by dead cultists, threatened with a gun directed at his head or [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied describing the ways he killed the cultists]]. He even '''hums''' when he and his friends were threatened with death to summon a demon for them. It really depends on the time period regarding to being used to being a demon and the situation itself if Dipper will act like this or not.
59	* DoomMagnet: Whether being targeted by demons, cults or various supernatural adversaries, both Dipper and his friends and loved ones are prime targets. Justified, as it comes with being a powerful, immortal dream demon. [[WeirdnessMagnet Weird stuff happens]]. In fact, Dipper blames himself for [[spoiler: owning Mabel's soul in order to save her life]] because of this trope.
60	* TheDreaded: Years after the Transcendence, Alcor gains the reputation as one of the most powerful demons and one that is impossible to bind, feared by both demons and humans alike. {{Played For Laughs}} in several stories when a demon summoned is too terrified simply because Dipper's in the same room as them and posing as a human.
61	* DreamLand: Dipper has the same dream powers and access to the mindscape as Bill.
62	* DreamWalker: One of the main abilities he inherited from Bill. As a dream demon, Dipper can enter people's dreams.
63	** DreamStealer: A [[BadPowersGoodPeople heroic and neutral example]] as he mostly eats people's nightmares, mostly whenever his family, friends or children are having nightmares.
64	* ExtraEyes: Whenever he appears in his shadowed form, a glowing third eye would appear on his forehead.
65	* ExtremeOmnivore: Ever since becoming a demon, Dipper has acquired a ''unique'' taste from things that are inedible like tires, dirt, or tennis balls.
66	* FauxAffablyEvil: Whenever Alcor is about to unleash his wrath onto his victims, he does so while still maintaining his polite façade but not hiding his insanity. Especially whenever he's in the middle of his insanity cycles.
67	* {{Flight}}: One of his most used powers. It's fairly rare to see him actually touch the ground.
68	* {{Foil}}: To Bill Cipher. Where Bill was a [[BrightIsNotGood colorful]] but [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] and [[LackOfEmpathy heartless]] demon who [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares for himself]] with no redeeming factors and [[WouldHurtAChild would kill a child on the spot]]. While he struggles with retaining his humanity, [[NobleDemon Alcor/Dipper]] is [[DarkIsNotEvil dark]], yet [[FriendtoAllChildren is caring to children]] and [[WouldNotHurtAChild would not dare hurt any of them]] and despite his occasionally bouts of demonic madness, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold ultimately cares for his loved ones]] and doesn't want to hurt them.
69	* FriendToAllChildren: Dipper has a soft spot for kids and will go out of his way to make a fair deal if he is summoned by a child (especially if for a good reason). If someone harms a child in his presence, or worse, tries to sacrifice a child to him... Well, they'll find out where Alcor gets his frightening reputation from really soon.
70	* FromNobodyToNightmare: An [[AntiHero anti-heroic example]]. Dipper was a normal 12-years old boy with a love for mysteries before the events of the Transcendence turned him into a demon who surpasses even '''Bill Cipher's''' powers.
71	* TheGadfly:
72	** Dipper would "test" the Mizars and his friends with jokes and barbs, and often enjoys [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] and teasing his friends and family over harmless but annoying deals he makes with them. Adding his occasion of raiding the fridge and getting a reaction out of them. Its a tamer version compare what he does to his [[AssholeVictims victims]].
73	** In the Transdimensional Arc, Alcor continually tests his younger self through jokes and teasing, which [[OtherMeAnnoysMe annoys young Dipper to no end]]. However it's {{deconstructed\|Trope}} as Alcor's teasing doesn't improve the relationship and trust with his younger self and Dipper thinks Alcor '''hates''' him because of it. Likewise, the other reason on why Alcor teases him was because he is ''envious'' of the future his younger self can have, whereas Alcor's future was stolen the moment he became a demon courtesy of Bill. Not mention Alcor has been a demon for so long that he has forgotten how to interact with humans and how his past self would feel. {{Reconstruction}} when the two have a long talk over this and reach an understanding between them, and, while Alcor does mention stuff that riles up his younger self, he's considerate to young Dipper's feelings.
74	* GoodCounterpart: Alcor/Dipper is essentially if Bill ever had a shred of goodness and humanity in him despite Alcor's own struggles with his more violent urges and demonic insanity. Bill is likewise Dipper's EvilCounterpart; one Dipper adamantly refuses to become.
75	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: The more he strays away from his loved ones and in-between their reincarnations, the more Dipper gives into his demonic madness and acts crueler and insane. If Mabel never had the ability to see him, Dipper would surely lose himself more quickly, which the Drift AU showcases Dipper losing to his demon side easily.
76	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: The downside of being semi-omniscient is that he would occasionally suffer large accumulation of information and knowledge in one go that he's unable to handle them, which are called "Info Dumps". Such info kindly informs Dipper/Alcor the exact time and date of his loved ones, when will the sun die and other knowledge that results in Dipper either [[HeroicBSOD going in a catatonic state, shock over the revelation, or makes him go demonic and insane]], which involves him [[RealityWarper affecting the environment around him]].
77	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Comes with [[CompleteImmortality immorality]]. However wounds by holy substances take a bit longer to heal.
78	* GuileHero: Retains this just like his canon counterpart, displaying profound manipulative skills when making deals and tricking more ill-intentioned summoners.
79	* GracefulLoser: Even when his tricks are thwarted or he's eventually bested, Dipper often finds enjoyment in finding a WorthyOpponent.
80	* HalfHumanHybrid: Due to Bill's hasty possession of Dipper out of desperation, the phenomenon resulted Dipper absorbing the demon; turning into a demon himself. It's Dipper's human side that allows him to interact and affect the physical plane and to retain his sense of morality.
81	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Dipper's greatest fear of losing his humanity may lead him into becoming something like Bill, if he hasn't already. Whenever he does something that remotely reminds him of Bill (tricking a deal in his favor or manipulating someone for his own agenda) he's reminded of this. This is prominent in "Rebirth Blue" where Dipper has to deal with the first human reincarnation of Bill.
82	* HeroicComedicSociopath: It should be reminded that Dipper is still a demon and '''will''' act like one, including his sense of humor. Then again it could be the 'Pines' Family's dark streak' and his demon instincts making him more susceptible to it or amplifying it. He'll alternate between screwing people out of amusement, instigating events to cause chaos and the casual references to his deals, the dirt he digs up on people and other beings and his killings. In one story, he answered the reason he would bring a friend along the bottomless pit was for '[[GoMadFromTheIsolation conversation purposes]] and [[ToServeMan emergency food supply]]', and was even ambiguous about the last part. This is still Dipper though and will go out of his way to help his family or loved ones.
83	* HighOnCatNip: [[GRatedDrug Yggdrasil]], or as his sister calls it, "Dipnip", is this to Dipper. Whenever he catches the scent of Yggdrasil, he's reduced to acting like a cat.
84	* HisQuirkLivesOn: A dark and unintentional example. Dipper not only inherited Bill Cipher's powers, but also some of the dead demon's mannerism (familiar phrases said by Bill, {{Cloudcuckoolander}} [[TalkativeLoon tendencies]], AffablyEvil [[AxeCrazy Demon mode]] ), personality traits and quirks ([[BlackComedy his sense of humor]], [[{{Sadist}} sadism]], [[TooKinkyToTorture love for pain]] [[NightmareFetishist and the morbid]], [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative streak]]), and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking fashion sense]].
85	* HorrifyingHero: Dipper's usual demon form and his Star-mode form are the ''least'' terrifying; he can become a humanoid shadow with claws and rows of teeth when slaughtering his enemies. His "Star-mode" does fare better and he takes that form often to not frighten others.
86	* HumanoidAbomination: Dipper appears the most humanoid among demons due to his half-demon origins and is power is getting stronger beyond demon level everyday.
87	* IHaveManyNames: Apart from his original nickname of Dipper, over the course of centuries and millenia, Alcor aquires a variety of nicknames and titles, some meant to instill fear, some akin to folklore, others still are more of a joke than anything serious, but the most common of these titles by a longshot is "The Dreambender."
88	* ImAHumanitarian: Because of his ExtremeOmnivore tendencies, Dipper also gained a liking to human flesh and organs and he was once a human himself.
89	** MonstrousCannibalism: He also has no qualms on feasting on his kind, as he ate the heart of a demon who was about to kill Mabel and Henry. Then again, demons often eat their own kind anyway.
90	** ToServeMan: Dipper is still a demon, and demons in the Transcendence AU are known to feast on humans time to time.
91	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: While not evil nor a KnightTemplar WellIntentionedExtremist, Dipper is more ruthless than he was in the Gravity Falls canon.
92	* ImmortalImmaturity: Downplayed. He still is the lovable dork, mystery and adventure loving if mischievous 12-year old boy when he became a demon but mostly is responsible and mature especially in concerns to his love ones and as an ancient demon. That said, there will be times when this ancient demon would be childish; with his love for sweets, DD&MD, and [[NotSoAboveItAll can get into petty and nonsensical arguments with others]].
93	* {{Invisibility}}: The Mindscape more or less makes him invisible to people in the real world, which he later uses to his advantage to sneak around. However people with the [[AuraVision sight]] can see him.
94	* ItAmusedMe: This the reason he [[{{Troll}} trolls]] his summoners, or whether as a challenge or just having fun with his friends, whether as Alcor or Dipper.
95	* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for [[spoiler: the event that caused Mabel to be critically hurt]] and still feels guilty of [[spoiler: owning Mabel's soul in order to save her life]] since it'll mean that she and her reincarnations are forever trapped in the role of Mizar.
96	* JabbaTableManners: For all his [[ManOfWealthAndTaste fussiness over his appearance]], Dipper is one hell of a messy eater; from gorging himself with candies, deep-fried food, an entire buffet, or just anything inedible, to unhinging his mouth like a snake to [[SwallowedWhole eat a big meal in one bite]]. He even gets food all over his face and teeth, which he uses his OverlyLongTongue to clean them off and becomes downright animalistic when feasting on raw meat and living creatures, his maw of teeth in front view.
97	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not in the conventional sense, but because he's a demon, he has his moments. At times he lets his demon instincts get the better of him or manipulates people, especially when he's being a trickster. More often than not, though, the "Heart of Gold" overshadows the "Jerk" part.
98	* KnowledgeBroker: The role he inherits from Bill because of his omniscience and the other reason Alcor is constantly sought out aside from his powers. The price on deal depends on the information and knowledge the person wants and most aren't pretty.
99	* LargeHam: As Alcor he enjoys the theatrics especially when summoned.
100	* LaughingMad: Whenever on a rampage or in bouts of madness, expect lots of insane laughter.
101	* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Dipper may have some occasional moments of hardship that comes with being an [[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortal dream demon]], but meeting new people and the [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnations]] of his loved ones makes it worthwhile.
102	* MacGuffinSuperPerson: One of the downside of being a powerful demon is that he often has people seeking him out, whether to use his powers, control or bind him for their own agenda. Not to mention his unique powers causes some jealous demons to challenge him.
103	* TheMadHatter: As Alcor or when he becomes more demonic he fits this to a T. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] as he's well aware that he's losing more of his humanity and it frightens him.
104	* TheMagnificent: He's (in)famously known as Alcor the Dreambender.
105	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: When he was fighting a demon while protecting Henry and Mabel, he got [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe ripped in half from his torso]] and was ''still'' laughing.
106	* ManipulativeBastard: Ever since becoming a demon, Dipper has improved in his manipulation skills, though he has gotten used to it that he doesn't even realize when he's manipulating people he shouldn't--namely his friends and loved ones.
107	** He made a deal with his niece, Acacia, that he would allow her to watch an inappropriate gorey film in exchange for her eye sight for approximately the duration the movie lasts. [[spoiler: [[ExactWords He never said he would take her sight away during her sleep and takes away her vision before the movie even starts]]]]. Although Dipper did it to teach Acacia a lesson about the dangers of reckless summoning, he didn't realize that his method was messed up [[spoiler: [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone until he heard Acacia crying out of fear because of the sounds of the movie and her lack of sight making it more scary for her]]]].
108	** This is one of the source of conflicts in Reincarnation Blues, in which Dipper attempts to get to see if Ian [[spoiler: is really Bill Cipher playing him like a fool]], which he does by making deals with Ian to view his mind and dreams freely without putting an end date on that deal. Even Mira [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on it]], pointing out that he is acting like Bill, to [[JerkAssRealization his horror]].
109	* MasterOfIllusion: Another ability as a demon.
110	* MeaningfulName: His demon name, "Alcor", comes from a set of companion stars in the Big Dipper constellation, Alcor and Mizar. Zillinose was originally going to have [[http://transcendence-au.tumblr.com/post/99203680693/hey-hey-regarding-your-idea-about-transcendence Dipper go by "Mizar"]], until it was brought up that Alcor is also known as [[http://transcendence-au.tumblr.com/post/99203690038/laughs-then-cries-because-alcor-is-also-known-as "the lifespan star"]] and [[http://transcendence-au.tumblr.com/post/99203964483/alcor-is-also-known-as-the-forgotten-or "the Forgotten One"]].
111	* MindOverMatter: Dipper has telekinesis as part of his powers as a demon, which he uses it to move and lift objects or people. It's implied they are connected to his [[EmotionalPowers emotions]] as whenever his emotions are unstable, he unintentionally made things explode or float around like crazy during his earlier days. Although he has better control, his powers go out of whack whenever he feels intense rage or he's going insane. When he's not holding back, he can use it with deadly effects. When he regained his memories as Alcor in RRR Arc, the first thing he does is have the metal from cages to bind the cultists, twists the arm of the leader by only raising his hand and he stop the leader's breathing with only a thought!
112	* MirrorCharacter: Dipper fears he is this to Bill Cipher now, considering his powers came from him and he inherited a few of Bill's traits doesn't help. Him adapting a similar fashion sense and displaying mannerism eerily similar to Bill makes Dipper feel worse. With him embracing his demon instincts and vindictive streak, Dipper fears that if he loses his humanity he could end up becoming like [[PsychopathicManChild Bill]] or even '''worse'''. Not to mention that as gets more experienced as a demon and making deals, he can be as [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] as Bill was, which became prominent in the "Reincarnation Blues" storyline. Ultimately, Dipper proves he's [[NotSoSimilar not]] [[NobleDemon the same]] as Bill.
113	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His two rows of pointy, shark-like teeth are often mentioned.
114	* MotorMouth: Whenever he's talking nonsensically with morbid and dark subjects, he's slipping more into his demonic side with a hint of madness.
115	* MundaneUtility: Once he's comfortable enough with his powers, Dipper doesn't hesitate to use them for such mundane activities as cleaning the bathroom or picking the kids up from school.
116	* MuggingTheMonster: Whenever Dipper pretends to be human, he sometimes gets captured, has some murderer or thief attempt to intimidate him, often has cultists try to sacrifice him to other demons or kill him. Other times, some supernatural threat would target him, thinking he's another human. Too bad they aren't aware that the 'human' is really Alcor, though demons are smarter to realize their mistake and just [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere bail out]].
117	* NiceGuy: He's still the same sweet if awkward Dipper despite the new personality quirks and mannerisms that comes with being a demon.
118	* NightmareWeaver: Dipper can plague people with nightmares. Sometimes as curses or offering to give nightmares in a deal that he would eat for his summoners later on.
119	* NoSocialSkills: Dipper wasn't the most social kid, and becoming a demon hasn't improve his social skills with his new unnerving habits and morbid fascination especially in between Mizar reincarnations. One of the gifts he offered to Henry was a [[BodyHorror turned inside out]] [[SurrealHorror squirrel]]. Get pass these traits and he's still a cool guy to hang around as his friends and family and a few summoners can attest to.
120	* NobleDemon: Points for now being a literal demon.
121	* NoSell: Alcor is infamous for being the only known demon to be immune to binding spells of any kind, and can even pass through summoning circles with ease. Combined with his unpredictability, this is the reason people are warned not to summon him. He even simply ''ignores'' or outright doesn't even notice warding and banishing spells or sigils that are placed around, even destroying barriers by just walking through it.
122	* OlderThanHeLooks: He stops aging after becoming a demon and continues on after Mabel's passing.
123	* OneWingedAngel: When hiding his appearance whenever summoned or in [[UnstoppableRage intense rage]], the entirety of Dipper's body darkens to a black silhouette crisscrossed with golden lines in a pattern reminiscent of bricks. He also possesses an object form in the shape of a one eyed star.
124	* OnlySaneMan: Like in the original series except he tends to swing between this and going wild and crazy.
125	* PapaWolf: Do NOT mess with Dipper's family, his friends, young children, or anyone Alcor considers "his".
126	* PayEvilUntoEvil: Delights in turning deals around on people with ill intentions.
127	* PersonOfMassDestruction: One of the reason why Alcor's feared whether its during his cult killing rampages or fighting a demon, expect a lot of destruction around. One notable case is when Alcor was summoned to fight a rival cult's demon, the ensuing fight resulted in destroying a majority of California.
128	* PintSizedPowerhouse: Dipper is this whenever he's in his child form or his star form.
129	* PlayingWithFire: His signature blue fire in making deals is also used as demonic magic.
130	* PointyEars: Develops them after becoming a demon.
131	* ThePrankster: As a demon, Alcor's known for pulling pranks on his summoners. He also engages this with his sister and Acacia, though he admits that they're better than him. He even had a Prank War with Pacifica, which he won by the way.
132	* PsychoticSmirk: He tends to display this when embracing more of his demon side.
133	* RealityWarper: All demons have some degree of this, but Alcor is arguably the most powerful.
134	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Although Dipper doesn't see the point of age long after Mabel's passing, he has lived for a ''long'' time.
135	* RedBaron: Alongside the title Alcor The Dreambender, Alcor's also been called The Twin Star, The Forgotten One, Manipulator of Nightmares [[IHaveManyNames and many more that he can't bother to remember]].
136	* {{Sadist}}: One of the unwanted personality quirks that came with being a demon, as Dipper realizes to his horror in his early days, that he enjoys the pain and suffering he inflicted onto his victims.
137	* SanitySlippage: Time and time again, Dipper would suffer bouts of demonic madness, especially during his separation from humanity.
138	* SelfHarm: Whenever Dipper is suffering an info dump or during his demonic periods or given the opportunity to experience pain, he's prone to stabbing himself with knifes and forks or digging deep into his skin with his claws. His healing factor can quickly reverse the damage and [[TooKinkyToTorture he finds pain hilarious]] but its still disturbing to his family and friends.
139	* SenseFreak: To a demon, being corporal and able to sense things is rare. Whenever Dipper is corporal, he would enjoy the taste of food more often and take the occasionally pain he gets with glee.
140	* ShadowArchetype: To his pre-Transcendence self, aka. Young Dipper, which is prominent in the Transdimensional Arcs. Both are [[DeadpanSnarker witty]], [[GuileHero cunning]] and [[WiseBeyondTheirYears intel]][[KnowledgeBroker ligent]], a fact they're both aware of. However, Dipper would want to prove his intelligence, whereas Alcor would [[InsufferableGenius flaunt it]]. Dipper's not above trickery in gaining the advantage and has a vindictive streak, but doesn't let it go too far that he doesn't lose his sense of morality. Alcor on the other hand would often [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate]] others whether intentionally or not, more incline to act on his vindictive streak due to being a demon and this often clouds his sense of morality that he's able to cling on for so long. Also Dipper desires to [[SeekerArchetype uncover various mysteries]], Alcor already has the answer given to him via his omniscience, but often has to shove that information down just so he can [[ChallengeSeeker have a challenge uncovering the mystery himself]].
141	* SharpDressedMan: Another one of traits he inherited from Bill was his fashion sense. When pretending to be human, Dipper's usually in a well-tailored jackets or smart casual or anything that makes him "Mr. Fancypants".
142	* SlasherSmile: Dipper/Alcor can do a terrifying one with the many razor teeth he has.
143	* SmugSuper: While Dipper is still the lovable dork he is, he has gained a great deal of confidence overtime as Alcor, [[FatalFlaw which gets him in trouble at times]].
144	* SpiritedCompetitor: Depending on the situation, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, he's just after the thrills of a good challenge. This is deconstructed as he gets used to his demon nature that he refuses to back down from the challenge out of sheer stubbornness and the thrills of the challenge and he refuses to take the easy route of using his omniscient in order to have fun. Unfortunately, said challenge would often escalate, including the risks. As a result, [[DidntThinkThisThrough his impulsiveness would blind him to the possibility of things going south]].
145	* StalkerWithoutACrush: As part of gaining Bill's powers, Dipper also gained the demon's omniscience and ability to spy on people either through the Mindscape or through his symbol (in Dipper's case; a one-eyed winged star). He often uses these abilities either to gain information on someone due to suspicion or to follow his friends or family, whether it's to keep an eye on them or he's bored. Even his friends admit that despite Dipper's intentions, it's pretty creepy and disturbing.
146	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He has eerie golden eyes that glow ominously while in his more demonic form.
147	* SwallowedWhole: Whenever Dipper needs to get someone outside the line of fire and cannot reach them to physically teleport them away, or cannot leave himself, he would instead temporarily drag them into his pocket dimension (aka. demon equivalent of a stomach). He only does this if absolutely necessary due to the space within his 'stomach' induce the occupant [[AndIMustScream into a sensation of near-death, potentially traumatizing them]]. He does avoid mentioning the stomach part.
148	* SweetTooth: Dipper ''loves'' sweets and can be convinced to make simple deals for a candy bar or a tub of ice cream.
149	* {{Telekinesis}}: One of his main abilities.
150	* TookALevelInBadass: Dipper continues to grow more powerful and is noted to have abilities he didn't had in the first 10 years.
151	* TooKinkyToTorture: Like Bill before him, he delights in receiving pain.
152	* {{Teleportation}}: Can teleport between the Mindscape, the real world, [[SpaceZone to the Moon]], and to summons that are practically anywhere even on different continents, often with others, in a span of a few minutes.
153	* TheTrickster: As a demon, its a standard to act like this.
154	* {{Troll}}: Reserved only for summoners who are [[AssholeVictim petty, greedy and downright monstrous]]. He enjoys twisting [[DealWithTheDevil deals]] with them, making them as [[LaserGuidedKarma karmic]] [[ExactWords and]] [[{{Irony}} ironic]][[PayEvilUntoEvil as possible]].
155	* {{Tsundere}}: He's surprisingly this to Toby, the second human reincarnation of [[spoiler: Bill Cipher]]. Although he tries to justify to himself that he's taking care of Toby because he doesn't want him to end up like Ian, the first reincarnation, he ultimately does care for Toby.
156	* VoiceOfTheLegion: His voice always possesses a demonic echo, although it gets much more distorted when he's angry or putting on his intimidating demon act. Even as Dipper he still posses an undertone that is off.
157	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Not so much at first, but he does eventually gain the ability to shape-shift at will.
158	* WasOnceAMan: ... and fears the day he forgets this.
159	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Being a demon, Dipper often shifts between this look at his immortality and LivingForeverIsAwesome.
160	* WildCard: Other than being [[UndyingLoyalty undoubtedly loyal to Mizar]] and few chosen he's close to, Alcor is known to side with no one in particular. He goes and does what he wants as he pleases.
161	* WingedHumanoid: Has a pair of bat wings on his lower back that can expand when he is in his demonic form. He dislikes it when someone calls them butt-wings. According to the knowledge he gained and confirmed by [[WordOfGod Word Of God]], the reason why they're located on his lower back was apparently because [[spoiler: [[RuleOfCool they looked cool with his coattails.]]]]
162	* WhyCantIHateYou: To Ian and later Toby, who are both the reincarnations of [[spoiler: Bill Cipher]].
163	* YouAreWhatYouHate: He was forcibly transformed into a demon by the same demon who had tormented his family over the summer and already has some of said demon's personality quirks. Dipper is well aware of this fact.
164	* YourSoulIsMine: As a demon, Dipper consume and takes souls, though he has a particular distaste to [[{{Greed}} greedy souls]]. Despite the temptations of having control over a soul, he doesn't make deals that needed souls as payment unless necessary. One of the souls he took was [[spoiler: Mabel's soul]] in order to save [[spoiler: her]] life through a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]].
