"Thulani is from an ancient race of explorers that use dimensional portals as jump gates to visit different worlds. They have been visiting and studying worlds for eons. Though highly advanced, their world is very xenophobic and does not share technology or allow cultural exchange. They prefer to remain aloof and spoken about as saga / legend."
Thulani's dimensional beacon has malfunctioned and he is not able to make a direct portal jump home. His species has a long life span and this journey may take decades to find his way home. He has decided to use this situation as an opportunity to fight against his natural instincts and have interpersonal interactions with other races and cultures across multiple dimensions. Thulani will be the first of his kind to step out of the shadows in a millennia."
