About
Monotone • Laid Back • Aloof • Solitary
Zoru is just a totally normal guy who loves gaming, eating ramen, and also just so happens to randomly get teleported to different dimensions and also take on forms that match said dimensions.
He was going to go to college but instead, the universe decided to make him experience everything ever. Honestly, he doesn't mind it. It's never too hard to find some place to stay, and they never stay in places for too long. Social interaction isn't super important to them, and he takes his Switch Lite everywhere he goes. As long as there's a charging station somewhere, he just lays low and plays video games until he poofs somewhere else. In between gaming and disappearing to different dimensions, he also streams his gaming to pass time, as long as internet is available. In their experience, it usually is.

Gaming
Zoru adores gaming. His favorite game is Hollow Knight because of the chill soundtrack and how it doesn't strain his eyes. Gaming in general is calming and a good way to pass the time, so it's a definite hobby of voice.
Music
He always has his headset on to listen to soundtracks, music in general, or to listen to his games. Sometimes he also streams, so his headset has a good microphone built in to help him talk to people while wandering around.
Streaming
Zoru loves sharing their adventures through different dimensions, as well as his adventures through different games. He has come to be a fairly popular interdimensional streamer for both of the above. They doesn't talk much, but people seem to love watching him anyways.
Dislikes
Small Talk
He doesn't get it and finds it uninteresting. Small talk doesn't have an end-result to it, so they don't understand the purpose of doing it at all.
Being Wet
If wet, that means he can't play video games. Also, it gets cold and itchy, then sticky once you start to dry. Plus your clothes stick to you.
Angry Gamers
People just get so aggressive, it's annoying. Why get angry at a game? Games are meant to be fun and pass time, not an excuse for someone to yell things at someone else. Just accept that you suck and move on.

Story
Zorukia was a typical teenager just getting out of High School when things started to get odd. Sometimes their items would go missing and pop back up a week later, very aged or newer than when they disappeared. Sometimes he would get random technology from other dimensions, only for them to disappear when he woke up. He mostly brushed it off, as any average person would do. By the time he graduated high school, things were out of control. He moved out to an apartment with money that had suddenly appeared once that he immediately put into his bank account. After settling in, he noticed many of their items suddenly glowing and disappearing. Right before his Switch disappeared, he grabbed it and disappeared with it.
The First Dimension
The first dimension Zoru showed up in was very similar to their own. He was in an apartment that looked the same, plus somebody had found and put away all of the items he had been missing in childhood that had somehow shown up there. With that, he wandered around a bit, then went outside to see that it was always nighttime. He didn't mind it much, but apparently, other people did. There weren't many people. Wandering through the city, which was very quiet with very few people, they found a newspaper that explained what had happened. The sun was just... Gone. It had been gone for around a year, and many people lived in places with artificial sunlight, explaining why no one lived in the cities. It made him wonder... Did another site have two suns? With that, though, they disappeared once again to somewhere new.
Since then...
Since the first day of traveling, he’s been trying to find some way to control at least the timing of teleporting. Sometimes he wants to stay in a dimension longer and learn more, and sometimes he wants to leave because it’s unsafe. Mostly, he passes the time by playing his Switch, which he has on his person at all times now. He truly hopes that someday they find a way to control every part of what he’s doing or to somehow get out of the constant cycle of teleporting to random places and try to find some normalcy again. But, until then, he will keep playing games, teleporting, and writing notes on each dimension he ends up in. He still has yet to find the universe with the second sun. Maybe that’s a good thing...

Trivia
- He drinks grape Monster constantly to stay awake and keep playing games, but he actually hates it. He doesn't like most drinks, including water. Anything liquid is not a good texture.
- His favorite dimension so far was the Pokemon dimension because he adores the Pokemon game and it was really fun to be a trainer. He was a little sad when he left that one.
- The dimensions they dislike most are the ones with nothing going on. The barren wastelands with no life.
- His least favorite games are first person games. It's not that they aren't fun, but they tend to make him dizzy.
- Their hair was once artificially colored purple and silver, but after his first travelling event, it became permanent and his hair just grows that way now.
