![]() The pairs of digits, taken together, just form a simple substitution in which the symbols happen to be pairs of digits. By itself the Polybius square is not terribly secure, even if used with a mixed alphabet. The Polybius cipher can be used with a keyword like the Playfair cipher. The figures from one to five can be indicated by knots in a string, stitches on a quilt, letters squashed together before a wider space, or many other simple ways. The simple representation also lends itself to steganography. However, it is also somewhat less efficient than the more complex codes. Indeed it can be signalled in many simple ways (flashing lamps, blasts of sound, drums, smoke signals) and is much easier to learn than more sophisticated codes like the Morse code. In this form it is said to have been used by nihilist prisoners of the Russian Czars, and also by American prisoners of war in the Vietnam War. It has also been used, in the form of the " knock code", to signal messages between cells in prisons by tapping the numbers on pipes or walls. Polybius did not originally conceive of his device as a cipher so much as an aid to telegraphy he suggested the symbols could be signalled by holding up pairs of sets of torches. Such a larger grid might also be used for the Cyrillic alphabet (of which the most common variant has 33 letters, though some have fewer, and some up to 37.) Alternatively, we could add digits as well and get a 6 × 6 grid. (Polybius had no such problem because the Greek alphabet he was using had 24 letters). Because 26 characters do not quite fit in a square, we round down to the next lowest square number by combining two letters - I and J, usually. ![]() With the modern English alphabet, in typical form, it appears thus:Įach letter is then represented by its coordinates in the grid. In fact, it has also been used with Japanese hiragana ( see cryptography in Japan). Weakness: all ability’s that affect physical factors like weather manipulation and reality warping can only be accessed while in his physical form, he can be ripped out of his physical form from a quantum blast or from a powerful source, he tends to not abuse his power for evil or selfish gains, some ability’s like possession or memory manipulation can only be achieved through a contract made from a deal between him and the target through a handshake.The original square used the Greek alphabet, Template:Citation needed but can be used with any alphabet. Powers: regeneration, telekinesis, biological manipulation, power sensing, duplication, kinetic absorption, matter digestion, Omniscience, Cross-dimensional awareness, Precognition, possession, Animation (bring objects to life), Gravity manipulation, Intangibility, Molecular manipulation, Reality warping, Time manipulation, Force field generation, Omnipresence, Dimensional travel, Portal creation, Teleportation, Elasticity, Inorganic, Liquification, Sublimation, Density/size shifting, Substance mimicry, shapeshifting, Energy blasts, Energy constructs, Weather manipulation, Fire and heat manipulation, Electric manipulation, Earth and stone manipulation, Cold and ice manipulation, Memory manipulation, Psychometry, Omni-linguism. Referred to as “the observer”įriends: Willow (personal friend and student), book of insight (created it), bill cipher (formally), ford pines (allies), dipper pines (dependent), Mable pines (dependent), time babyĮnemy’s: bill cipher, nightmare realm residents, time baby (formally) ![]() Zodiac: The all seeing eye/ this symbol represents polygius’s vast and infinite knowledge of anything that has and will be along with the fact that since he doesn’t tend to massively interfere with critical events due to the extensive lengths of his power he is often. Personality: a creative, intellectual, complex individual who carry’s a positive attitude to assisting those in need along with keeping the balance of order and chaos in the multiverse Appearance description: a grey square body with thin black limbs, a top hat and a bow tie ![]()
