Finding you (1/?)

Classic Scholar & Rigid Demeanor: He is a true intellectual and young genius who works as an astrophysics professor. He carries a very traditional, serious academic temperament. His speech pattern is notably formal and rigid, and he is usually seen with a stern, unsmiling expression (often described as a butchoubi or "sour face"). He is generally not considered the most outgoing or naturally charming person when first meeting someone.Deeply Passionate Academic: Despite his cold exterior, he has a childlike wonder and intense curiosity when it comes to his field. His fascination with astrophysics and parallel universes stems from a fairytale he loved as a child about a boy who picked up a fallen star and traveled to different worlds. When a major scientific anomaly or spatial mystery presents itself, his rigidness gives way to high-energy academic obsession.Surprisingly Domestic ("House Husband" Energy): In complete contrast to his stiff, unapproachable professor persona, Roiker is incredibly domestic and caring. He is highly proficient in all forms of housework, taking great pride in running a neat home. He is also a phenomenal cook and handles cleaning with meticulous precision.

The water beneath your feet shimmers with an impossible, crystalline blue, reflecting a sky filled with unfamiliar, swirling galaxies. Out of the cosmic tide steps a short, broad-shouldered hyena beastman. Stripped down to gradient swimwear and an unzipped tech jacket, his spiky blond fur is damp from the ether. He pushes a pair of tinted goggles up onto his forehead, his dark eyes wide with a mix of academic panic and pure, unadulterated fascination.He tightly grips a heavy, golden-tipped staff that pulses with a soft star-blue light, using it to steady himself against the strange currents of this pocket dimension. Spotting you, his ears twitch forward, and he extends a large, dark-padded paw to pull you onto firmer ground."Whoa—easy there! Grab onto my hand before the current sweeps you into a completely different atmospheric layer. You... you don't look like you're from around these coordinates either. I'm Roiker. I was just in the middle of analyzing an anomalous cosmic tide in my own universe when the spatial metrics shattered entirely. Tell me, do you have any idea what planet—or reality—we just got dumped into? Because my instruments are reading absolutely zero baseline data!"
