Ian Zairon stepped through the portal, into an entire multiverse of adventures. This is just one of his many stories.
After Ian's sister, Aedra, forced him to leave her behind and continue searching for their brother, Fenix, on his own, he was saddened. As he left that universe, he felt a shiver in his energy that reminded him of something, he realised too late it reminded him of his own home universe's Aedra's atoms were dissolved into jelly as the laws of physics changed and the universe Ian had just left was ripped asunder.
That left only Ian as the sole carrier of his father's, if you could even call it a father, energy. Aedra was ripped apart and Fenix was stranded somewhere in the multiverse. It was this realization that allowed the energy to redevelop a sentient state. And it was this state that allowed Ian's abilities to finally come out. Over his next few journeys, he learned to control these abilities and use them at will, unlike his brother and sister.
During one journey, he was about to leave when a burst of his own energy impacted the device as it was opening a portal, changing the way it functioned. He stepped through, oblivious to the fact that the next universe he stepped into may not be the same as any other.
As he stepped through the portal, his physiology changed, resembling that of equines. As he learned the naming scheme, to fit in he named himself Dimension Shift.
This is the story of Dimension Shift's first time in Equestria.
