Part 1: The Accident

Sammy had a somewhat traumatic childhood and come to be the reason he hated his name and would always work so much harder than most people, to even becoming one of the most respected Researchers at his company. He was a normal Anthropomorphic Fox and worked in a scientific research facility named “Trav-Tech”. He happened to have pulled the short end of the stick and was assigned the “honor” to be the test subject for a new machine that would let people travel through time and space to other multiverses. Naturally, human nature, or rather Anthropomorphic-Nature led to an accident, not normally to one this world breaking, suddenly dragging Sammy into the machine and it should’ve killed him, but instead a gooey cocoon started to form around him.

Instantly after being pulled in, every single Sammy in existence in every single multiverse collided and became one living being known as Glitchy. During the collision this Goo started to surround him and cover him, as if it was the only thing keeping him from being shredded to ribboins. Glitchy would suddenly wake up in a place he barely recognized as his research facility, but different. No, the same exact room as his test was conducted in, but it was somehow not the same either.

Part 2: The Goo and the Hammerspace

He sat up taking in the room, with the damaged machine beyond repair, and the goo that was pooling up around his butt. No one recognized Glitchy and quickly detained him. He was then sitting in a sealed observation chamber with a neutral unknown designation because his shape kept shifting to his different multiverse selves being like the same video game character, but with many different skins now. With each shape, this goo started to leak from his body like sweat as he started to freak out because he was in an unknown place without anyone to help him and no hope to get out. The goo started to stain and burn his fur, and even parts of his skin where it reached down far enough to, past his fur, leaving empty patches. It turned out the goo was acid, and to test, he reached to a larger spot of goo that formed under his left breast to see how it felt.

To Glitchy’s surprise, his hand went straight through the goo like there was no torso underneath it. This goo was a portal, some kind of world shattering non-Euclidean thing, later just to find out it leads to a hammerspace. After playing with the goo a small amount and finding it wouldn’t disappear as quickly if he took it off his body, he hatched a plan. The plan was to smear enough goo onto the wall of the chamber, just enough to make a hole he could crawl through to escape the containment, and small enough that in time he got through, it would’ve shrunk to just barely be able to be crawlable and completely stopping any security from pursuing him. And it worked.

By now his shape shifting has decided to settle on a male-appearance of a regular Anthropomorphic fox, except he was extremely light for his size, and felt empty on the inside but he himself couldn’t figure out why yet. He was too busy with figuring out where he was and the hunger in his chest, which was a purple landscape with a horizon that stretched on forever with many goo-resembling portals floating slightly above him, all around the sky. He didn’t know which to go through so he chose the closest one to him and jumped to try to pull himself into it, finding that it moved closer to the flat landscape as his weight shifted to it. He stuck his head through and he saw his home, a beautiful Den-Home. It was built into the side of a hill, and had dirt walls, but was decorated and spacious like a Human’s home.

Part 3: The Den-Home

Glitchy just knew that this was his den so he climbed through the portal, and once he was through, peeled it off the ground. Glitchy found it that, despite the goo being portals, you can still somehow pick it up and it was malleable so he started getting the hang of handling it and took it inside to prevent anyone from finding it. He decided that the Hammerspace was going to be his new storage space, and that these spots that show up on his body would protect him, that he would could feel safer. He realized later that he shouldn’t be there since the research company knew where he lived and could come looking for him after his disappearance, but with his new found goo ability and other powers, he didn’t care enough to do anything about it. Even if he wasn’t in his original universe, which he had a very strong feeling he was, his multiverse counterparts no longer existed, and so he didn’t have to worry about the issues of encountering them and would fit right into any of the universes, hopefully in which he wouldn’t be hunted by a research company hungry for revenge of “destroying company property”.

After the anxiety of all this being a possibility, he confined himself to his den-home, but loneliness and hunger started to over take him so he had to eventually decide to find better food and socialness or keep feeding off whatever he could get in the forest where his den-home was. At that point he decided to take the risk of being possibly found and left his home in search for some kind of interaction and some good food. Coming of the tree line, he saw the road and barely many cars passing by, travelling off to god knows where, not worrying about some fox in the woods. Especially since this world was filled with Anthropomorphic Animals, right? Wait… Those are humans, and he’s not in his world. But his den-home was in the forest, so there must be some anthro animals in the least. Glitchy’s mind started to run with so many explanations that it started to give him a headache and he decided to just continue on in finding some food place.
