''[[https://ronzak-michigander.neocities.org/DimensionHoppers]]'' [=Dimension Hoppers=] is a web serial novel created by Rafe ([=RonZak=]) [=LaNore=] and Casper Kidner, and is written by [=LaNore=]. It can be found on Rafe's official website. The novel started out as a live action role playing game Rafe and Casper would do that involved various strange individuals jumping from dimension to dimension, trying to survive an inter-dimensional apocalypse. The web serial focuses on Ray Vantair and Ryan Senoaks, as their team of survivors work on finding the source of what's causing an inter-dimensional apocalypse that has been going on for over a decade, (despite that the journey started eight years ago from where the novel starts.) Each character of the serial has been given their own title. Ray is the "designated driver", Ryan is the "basket case", etc. Each chapter has explored a different, as well as different apocalyptic scenarios, though one has appeared more than others thus for, being the classic zombie apocalypse, but also explores other scenarios, like robot uprising, societal collapse, and eldritch horror, just to list a few.

* {{AbusiveParents}}: It is revealed in the chapter, "Monica in the Mall", that Ryan's parents were neglectful to him. They never let him out of the house, except if it were to go to family. When the apocalypse hit, his parents flat out abandoned him when he was twelve. Ray eventually found him and took him under his wing.
* {{ActionGirl}}: Svetlana Bogatyryrova and Monica Vescovish. Especially the former, because Svetlana is a soldier where she comes from.
* {{AmbiguousTimePeriod}}: It always depends on the dimension the crew is in.

* {{BerserkButton}}: Ray, upon hearing about Amber's abuse of Ryan, immediately kicked her out of the group.

* {{ChaoticStupid}}: Ryan Senoaks in spades. If the title of one of the chapters is to go off of anything. "In Rocky Medias Res (or Why You Do Not Let Ryan Drive)"
* {{DeadpanSnarker}}: Tristan Corvinter.

--> '''Monica''' ''[asking]'' What's the exit plan?
--> '''Svetlana''' ''[deadpan]'' Not the windows, that's for sure. ''[Beat.]'' "Actually...
--> '''Flotsam''' ''[shocked]'' Do you want to die?!
--> '''Svetlana''' ''[deadpan]'' Shut up. You clearly can't tell what a morbid joke is.
* {{DesignatedDriver}}: Ray Vantair. His character was literally given the title of the "designated driver".

* {{DramaticIrony}}: When the crew meet nivid father and son duo, Garaks and Narekos, Garaks held a gun at them, thinking they were going to harm him and his son. As Ryan tried to talk him down, Garaks fired the gun, aiming at his hand. The bullet went right through Ryan's hand, which both hands already have holes in to begin with, so it did no damage. The two men end up staring at each other awkwardly.
* {{EvilAllAlong}}: Amber Mirrokee. As revealed in the chapter, "Monica in the Mall", when Amber was still a part of the group, she was secretly abusing Ryan. Ryan, who at the time was still a teenager, was afraid to speak up about the abuse because he was scared it would get worse.
* {{FakeBand}}: Chasing Something Obscure. (Monica's old band.)
* {{ForTheEvulz}}: Amber Mirrokee. She derailed a train, for crying out loud, just because she knew the crew were in the same dimension at the time. She also wants the apocalypse to continue. She didn't cause it. She just loves the chaos. She also burned down Ray's childhood home.
* {{InterspeciesFriendship}}: There are quite a few species within the Dimension Hoppers crew. Whether it be humans, kobolds, nivids, moths, robots, trazdaks, or whatever Whitticus and Emmatina are. All work together, and while they might be a bit of squabbling in the group, they all still get along.

* {{InterspeciesRomance}}: Emmatina seems to have a crush on Ryan, likely from him saving her from infected individuals trying to tear her asunder inside a toppled over train cart.

* {{KillerRobot}}: The chapter, "Assimilation A.I.", is all about killer robots. [[spoiler:One killer robot ends up killing Flotsam as the crew try to flee into an underground subway system.]]
* {{LackOfEmpathy}} Amber Mirrokee. Especially when it comes to Ryan.
* {{ParentalSubstitute}} Ray acts as Ryan's father figure. He even refers to him as a father.

* {{TheLeader}}: Ray Vantair
* {{RobotKid}}: Ashley was built by Jenny. She is like a daughter to Jenny, especially sense Jenny is actually infertile. Ashley's mentality is that of a 11-13 year old child during the events of Dimension Hoppers.
* {{ShoutOut}}: Rafe is known to add in a lot of shout-outs to things, specifically music, in his works. Dimension Hoppers has a lot of those, but even references to movies and authors.

-->'''Ray:''' ''[describing]'' We have Ghostbusters, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Breakfast Club, Poltergeist, and the first three A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, as well as Wes Craven's New Nightmare. We have a few more tapes than just those.\\

-->'''Monica:''' ''[stating]'' I think Dream Warriors should have been the last Nightmare on Elm Street movie\\
-->'''Brandon''' ''[discussing]'' I would agree, but then we wouldn't have Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Get rid of all the shit after Dream Warriors but keep Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Part five was a fucking joke\\
-->'''Monica''' ''[agreeing]'' Part five was terrible.

->'''Author''' There's poster(s) for Yes, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Billy Joel, Talking Heads, Blondie, and the Ramones still hanging up in Ray's childhood bedroom.
* {{TriggerHappy}}: Tristan Corvinter to a T. During the climax of the chapter, "Monica in the Mall", he shows immense pleasure at firing at bandits with a machine gun.

-->'''Flotsam''' ''[asking]'' Is that a moth person?
-->'''Tristan''' ''[remarking]'' It did say to not trust the mot-.
-->'''Flotsam''' ''[interrupting]'' No, stop.
-->'''Jenny''' ''[pleading]'' Don't listen to the banners, okay? I'm not bad!

-->'''Ashley''' ''[tired]'' Who is here?
-->'''Tristan''' ''[reacting]'' That's a robot. Time to shoo-.
-->'''Jenny''' ''[screaming]'' Don't you dare!
-->'''Cartier''' ''[growling]'' Don't you even fucking think about it!
* {{UnfortunateNames}}: Flotsam Senesha. He's named after a type of shipwreck, and his life is definitely like a shipwreck.
* {{WorldOfSnark}}: The cast loves to work off of each other's snarky remarks.
