Full Name: Ford Cruller
Nicknames: GREATEST PSYCHONAUT EVER (coined by Raz)
Age: Late 60s-Early 70s
Height: Mid-height (hunched over)
Weight: Skinny
Gender: Male
Race: Human Psychic
Alliance: Good
Home: Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp (has to, explained below)
Franchise: Psychonauts
Physical Description: Ford is a lanky old man, disproportionate like all the rest of the characters. XD His face is most noticeable; his huge bugged out eyes are offset, like a plate of eggs. A thin red nose in between is held up by a bushy mustache, and wild tuffs of hair also crown the sides of his otherwise bald head.
He has different outfits when going through his chef, ranger, lifeguard, and janitor personalities, but in his main persona, he wears the official Psychonauts green jumpsuit with pride.
Weapons: Depends. Could be a broom, an oar, a spatula, or his MIND, if he can remember to use it.
Abilities/Powers: Psychic powers, including PSI Blasts, Levitation, Force Fields, Invisibility, Clairvoyance, Pyrokinesis, and Confusion Blasts
Skills: Cooking, cleaning, running the Psychonauts… typical for ol’ Ford.
Personality: Ford is quite the eccentric, loony old bird, at least at first glance. Unless he is in close proximity to a strong source of psitanium, his psyche becomes disjointed, and he falls into one of his other personalities, with no memory of who he really is. With his psyche shattered into pieces, one persona will be grumpy, one will be delusional, one will be sleepy.
However, when he is in his underground sanctuary, the concentrated power of the psitanium mother lode pulls his thoughts together, and keeps him like his old self.
His true persona, when fully aware of himself, is proud, strong-willed, and endearing to the youngsters, like a grand-papa figure. He’s a devoted mentor to Raz, and only wishes he could be more help outside in the field. Unfortunately, because of his condition, that simply isn’t possible. If he is ABSOLUTELY needed on the field, he can strap a chunk of psitanium to his back, but this measure only lasts a short amount of time.
History: As far as Psychonauts went, Agent Ford Cruller was best of the best. He was one of the original, and most decorated Psychonauts, their first established leader. All respected and revered him.
Until, of course, he faced off against an equally strong, but much nastier, psychic, and fought a terrible psychic duel that nearly killed him. He escaped with his life, but tragically, his psyche had been completely shattered, and he was deemed “a loon” by the Psychonauts and discharged.
It wasn’t until he was placed at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp for menial custodial work that any potential was seen in him. Agents Sasha Nien and Milla Vodella noted that when Ford was close to a large amount of Psitanium (a psycho-reactive mineral that crashed to earth hundreds of years ago; it amplifies psychic abilities and has the potential of also driving people insane), his thoughts are less disjointed. Since Whispering Rock was built right on top of the largest deposit of Psitanium in the world, it only made sense to keep Ford there. When taken underground, as close to the mineral as possible, Ford remembered who he was. Crushed at first by his crippling condition, Ford still resolved to do whatever he could to aid the psychic world, even if it was less-than-glorious, behind-the-scenes type of aid.
He built an underground sanctuary, complete with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. Even if he’s not an official Psychonaut, he still keeps an eye on psychic activity around the world from his sanctuary, dispatching Sasha and Milla as necessary. Headquarters doesn’t know he’s behind their assignments, or they would never get approved.
Recently, he’d been receiving reports from Agents Nien and Razputin Aquato about this “gap between dimensions,” and he had to admit, he was intrigued. Too intrigued to stay in the shadows for much longer. With Sasha’s help, he had his things packed and had Sasha arrange a heavy transportation of psitanium through the ITS. He’s looking ready to set up temporary shop on Dimensional Island!
Other: Ford has an extreme love for bacon. He can telepathically communicate with any psychic he gives a piece of bacon to.
