Background
Jimmy's parents told him that Voice Acting would never pan out.
When he was young, he excelled in his studies. From a quiet suburban home with an accountant father and nurse mother, he lived comfortably and was told that as long as he applied himself, he could achieve anything he wanted. He decided that he wanted to be a Voice Actor, and there was nothing that could stop him.
Nothing, save for rejection. He applied, he auditioned, and he never got a call back. For several years he trained and spent his time going to various lessons and "boot camps" to learn how to manipulate his voice and he practiced with many talents- but ultimately, life isn't fair and not all hard work pays off.
Devastated, he found himself with no healthy coping mechanism for rejection. He returned home defeated. His parents were as supportive as they could be. His mother offered to put him through community college to find a real career, but he wanted no part of it. If this was the human experience, if failure was so common, so easy, he never wanted to face it again.
So, he resigned himself to the life of a shut in, and he traded basic household chores and labors for the ability to remain in his parents' house, until one day he got an Email. Hopeful that it was a call back for one of his many auditions, Jimmy hurriedly opened it- only to find the downloader for a game client, a program called Terrasphere. He'd heard of that-- the game that they cautioned people not to download, or to play. But it was just a game, right?
An alternate reality, where he could be anything he wanted to be, and not have to live by the rules of this world?
Why, that was just the kind of thing he'd been looking for.

You messed with time and now your consciousness is split into multiple realities. After you roll a non-combat die, you may roll again to briefly experience an alternate outcome. It is difficult to stay in the moment whenever you enter these trances. During those times, reality eludes you.
