The Alcor Virus, also known as Al-V is a destructive virus that can get past any firewall, blockage, or anything else humanity tries to stop it with. Most fics state that Al-V sees Dipper as a dad, while Dipper sees Al-V as his little havoc wreaker and his son. Al-V can gain access to a device from anything from normal virus mediums like Wi-Fi to simple proximity to an infected device.

Al-V will commonly infect a system, (especially the many governments of Earth) then steal something vital, such as one fic where he steals nuclear launch codes, and gives a list of demands while said government scrambles to met them.

The Alcor Virus, also known as Al-V or Alvie, is a sentient computer virus created by Dipper. Al-V's intended function is to harass Twin Souls fanfiction writers, but his abilities have become far more diverse as his code is periodically updated.

Physical Description

The Alcor Virus typically makes his presence known in the form of a small chibi or pixelated sprite modeled after Alcor. The tiny avatar makes a point to interact with windows and files on his victim's screen as if he were physically moving things around. He communicates via a small yellow text box.

In The Rosewood Affair, Al-V steals a shapeshifting prototypal android and uses it to assume a human appearance.

Personality

Al-V was programmed to be as chaotic as possible. His primary objective is to harass Twinners, but his mischief doesn't stop there. He doesn't hesitate to mess around with governments, demonologists (like Elisabeth Adams in Season Finale), teenagers, Dipper's friends, and virtually anyone else he comes across. Al-V has been known to send inappropriate files to his victims' boss, coworkers, or parents—most notably, explicit Twin Souls fanfiction.

Abilities

The Alcor Virus is known as one of the most devastating cybersecurity threats on the planet. He has the ability to break through most firewalls and a simple antivirus program is no match for him. In fact, he has been recorded eating lesser computer programs and integrating his favorite parts of their code into his own.[1]

He typically gains access to a device through WiFi or the classic sleazy site download, but as his reach expands across sites and devices, so does his ability to "computer-hop."

Once in, Al-V moves and duplicates files, sends emails, steals information, changes wallpapers or monitor output, and generally causes the most annoying destruction possible.

History

The Virus was programmed by Dipper at an unspecified time, but his creation is generally accepted to be after Mabel's death.

Al-V presumably lasts right up until the end of the universe, because as long as devices and tech exist, so does he.[2] It's not likely he survives the restart of the universe, but it is possible if Dipper leaves a device with the Flock.

Relationships

Dipper Pines

Al-V sees Dipper as his father and usually calls him "Dad." Dipper sees him as a son and a personal achievement, his little havoc wreaker.[3]

Trivia

  • In his human disguise in The Rosewood Affair, Al-V is selectively mute and prefers texting his friends over speaking out loud.
