Dimensional Traveler: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}

A [['''Dimensional Traveler]]''' is any character who can (more or less) freely travel between various planes of existence, like parallel universes, etc. Their ability to travel is usually powered by some form magic, [[Applied Phlebotinum]] or [[Teleporters and Transporters]] (like a [[Portal Network]]), but it can also happen that a character was inherently born with such power.

This is also a common explaination for [[Crossover|Crossovers]]s, as occasionally the characters will arrive in the universe of ''another'' hero.

{{examples|Examples:}}

* It happens alota lot in ''[http://alaxr274.deviantart.com/gallery/33810717 Super Milestone Wars]'' and it'sits sequel, ''[http://alaxr274.deviantart.com/gallery/36864527 Super Milestone Wars 2]''.

* [[Original Character|Michikyuu Kanae]] from ''[[Kyon Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', although she's not doing it for fun, but to survive.

* The protagonist of ''[[Sleeping Withwith the Girls]]'', although he doesn't do it voluntarily. Every time he goes to sleep, he slips into another dimension ([[Accidental Pervert|and into the bed of another girl]], [[Bedmate Reveal|usually with a]] [[Tsundere]] personality).

* Delilah from ''[[The Legend of Spyro: a New Dawn (Fanfic)|The Legend of Spyro aA New Dawn]]'' is a [[Kitsune]] capable of traveling through dimensions. This apparently a species trait of her specific type of Kitsune, as it's the only way to leave the Spirit World. After [[Really 700 Years Old|200 years]] of traveling the multiverse, she's a [[Genre Savvy]] [[Cloudcuckoolander]] whose [[Seen It All]]. She often drops [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]]s to other series which she's visited, most commonly ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' because she really likes that universe and is best friends with Pinkie Pie. She also mentions the [[Noodle Incident|"Cupcakes Incident"]] frequently, which involved a nasty encounter with ''[[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]]''!Pinkie Pie and resulted in her [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|being deathly afraid of cupcakes.]]

== [[Film]] ==

* In ''[[Indiana Jones and Thethe Kingdom of Thethe Crystal Skull]]'', {{spoiler|the Aliens were actually travellerstravelers between the worlds}}.

* [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Glory Road (novel)|Glory Road]]''. Anyone who understands the metaphysical geometry involved can pass through the Gates and explore the Twenty Universes, and many do so on a regular basis.

** Also in another of his stories, ''[[The Number of the Beast]]''. The protagonists use a dimension-hopping device to explore a series of very odd dimensions, including some based on Earth literature.

== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons|]]'': Anyone with the Cubic Gate or Amulet of the Planes has the ability to be one]].

* [[Hot Witch|Tessa]] from ''[[Red Earth (Video Game)|Red Earth]]'' is a [[Insistent Terminology|sorcerologist]] (one who employs magic in everyday studies to discern the properties of the universe; she's more or less a witch, though). Her [[Encyclopaedic Knowledge|knowledge on a wide variety of subject matter]] in both her home series and various [[Crossover|crossoverscrossover]]s imply that she frequently treks across the multiverse to broaden her horizons and learn as much as she possibly can.

* In ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'', the only thing linking the Human World and Makai ([[Our Monsters Are Different|the]] [[Our Demons Are Different|Demon]] [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|World]]) is a portal located roughly in the middle of Makai, known as The Gate. Morrigan is a special case, in that she can freely travel between the realms independently of this gateway. Being a [[Rebellious Princess|fun]]-[[Blood Knight|loving]] [[Horny Devils|succubus]], you should be able to understand ''why'' she enjoys this unique ability of hers.

* This is the reason why [[Final Fantasy V|Gilgamesh]] in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' is heavily implied to be the only recurring character in the series to be the same exact character in most, if not ''all'' appearances. After being thrown into the Interdimensional Rift by his boss Exdeath [[You Have Failed Me...|for his repeated losses against the party]] and [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrificing himself to defeat Necrophobe]], Gilgamesh simply [[Walking the Earth|walks the multiverse]] via the Void and the worlds connected to it. This is even how he stumbles into the conflict of the gods in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy]]''; when defeated, {{spoiler|a portal leading to the Rift/Void engulfs him, as Gilgamesh, while subject to the war's rules, has no original world to return to}}.

* ''[[The Elder Scrolls (VideoIII: Game)|The Elder ScrollsMorrowind]] III'': Morrowind - Divayth Fyr is said to be one. According to the in game book [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Doors_of_Oblivion The Doors of Oblivion], Fyr is one of the few "mortals" who can freely travel between the realms of the [[Physical God|Daedra]].

* In the ''[[Transformers]]'' [[Multiverse]], many of the "multiversal singularities" are mentioned as having this ability--particularlyability—particularly [[The Transformers (ComicMarvel BookComics)||The]] [[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Fallen]], [[Transformers Cybertron|Vector Prime]], [[Transformers Generation 1|Unicron]], and [[Transformers Timelines (Franchise)|Nexus Prime]], as well as the non-singularity [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Sideways]]. There's also city of [[Transformers: Trans TechTransTech|Axiom Nexus]], which is roughly analogous to ''Planescape's'{{'}}s Sigil mentioned above, and where the inhabitants all have travelling between dimensions down to a literal science.
