Once upon a time in a land far away there was a being named Random Lee Grey. Random is an occasional visitor from another dimension, or an alternate reality. When he visits our universe, he often hitches a ride by posing on a piece of artwork. Since time works differently in his reality, he seems to be standing still even though he’s constantly moving. The time difference also accounts for why he can be seen in several places at once. Random is often sighted near artifacts from his universe, such as dimension doorways and tetrahedron trees.
He is attracted to tetrahedrons, cubes, and spheres, because they symbolize the possibilities – basic elements of all universes. By juggling the possibilities, he travels from reality to reality. Random is often found doing Random singing, random dancing, and Random Acts of Kindness- all in order to fulfill one of his missions: helping humans keep in touch with their hearts (which they too often lose). He has discovered that an important part of his work is play.
Despite his good intentions, like humans, he does make an occasional Random Error while in this world.
When one job is done, he travels on – through a Dimensional Doorway, via a tetrahedron launched from a tree, or on a piece of artwork that he knows is headed in an interesting direction.
