Full Name: Ford Blackstaff
Nicknames: The Mage of All Trades, Mage of Time, Necromancer of Time, Trainee Mage, Ford Pinto, Made of Explodium, Senor Tick-Tock
Age: Appears to be about 8, is SOOO much older
Height: Around three feet (without hat)
Weight: Isn’t saying
Gender: Male
Race: “Human” (No one’s really sure what he is, but apparently he was human originally)
Alliance: Neutral (doesn’t stop him from starting Ragnarok)
Home: Oslo, Norway
Franchise: The Continuing Saga of Tree, Todd, and Snowy (original story)
Physical Description: Ford is a fairly short, reddish-purple haired, green eyed kid. He looks normal enough, but most of his body actually is artificial. After a bad accident involving a messed up Rainbow Brite Spell, Ford lost most of his limbs, and they were replaced with clockwork replicas. Because of this, he tends to cover his entire body so no one can see them. He wears a full body tunic, some rather high boots, and gloves that cover whatever skin is uncovered on his arms. And then over the clothing he’s already wearing, he wears a large cloak and hat. The hat in particular makes him seem about two feet taller than he actually is.
Weapons: Despite his name, Ford does not use a black staff for his weapon. He actually has a pair of Mage’s Gloves that Flamel made for him that concentrate his magical powers and make them stronger, though.
Abilities/Powers: Ford is a master of most magics, including black magic, white magic, blue magic, red magic, rainbow magic, and necromancy. The necromancy part is especially useful, as it allows ghosts below the level of Archghost to be sustained on the island without the use of Doom Energy.
Skills: As far as skills go, he’s got several small ones he’s learned over the years, and he’s just about as knowledgeable as Flamel in several things, especially fighting without magic. He can use a sword should the need come, even.
Personality: The centuries haven’t aged Ford well. No longer the cheerful mage in training he once was, he tends to lean toward two main personalities: a serious, not childish in the least personality, which he uses whenever he’s doing official business, and one that leans more toward his original personality, just with the experience of many centuries long past.
History: Ford was originally a mage in training, who, together with a Goblin named Jarrl, helped take down this really stupid necromancer werewolf named Tama. After Tama got himself neutered by Jarrl’s sword, Jarrl took over Norway, while Ford went back to his mage training. That year Ford spent travelling with Jarrl wasn’t really all that important, thanks to the fact that Jarrl ended up getting himself overthrown by the Vikings about a month later, and plus Ford thought he was a bit of a dumbass anyways. While Jarrl was being a dumbass, Ford finished up his mage training and took some of Tama’s books that he’d stolen to start learning Necromancy. While he was learning Necromancy, he worked on learning its sister magic, Rainbow Magic. Unfortunately, some of his Necromancy magic ended up screwing with the spell, causing a rather violent reaction and causing him to lose most of his limbs. He eventually got prosthetics, but this began his trend of wearing ridiculous amounts of clothing.
Somewhere along the line, Ford ended up fucking up and somehow making himself live longer than most mages already do, probably thanks to (once again) necromancy, and his new lifespan is somewhere in the 1000s instead of the 500s. This is still ridiculously long, but still.
Eventually, Ford got it into his head that the world needed balance to survive. Probably thanks to all the stupid clocks he has in his body now. In any case, in about 1700, he met Flamel, they became buds, and started working as partners on various things. When Flamel first approached Ford about starting Ragnarok, Ford jumped on the bandwagon, A) because he was bored, and B), because as a mage, he could sense how off-balance Earth? had become, and the only thing that could fix it was a Rebirth. Plus, he was bored.
During the actual proceedings leading up to Ragnarok and Ragnarok itself, Ford proved himself to be a formidable opponent for Tree’s group. He made himself a major enemy in Snowy, who found out that he was the Necromancer of Time that had been fucking with the afterlife and her job for nearly 500 years now. Once the ceremony to make Hammy into the God of Doom began, Ford provided most of the challenge for Tree’s group as well by summoning several personal zombie servants of his: Ms. Heartless (and her heart), Potato Aeronaut, the Treetune Plush, and Mira Subaru. Even without his zombies, his various magics put up more than a small fight for the group. When Ragnarok finally hit, only he and Flamel weren’t too surprised, and they accepted their fate.
