Many many years ago Rintarou Okabe was a devoted mad scientist. He worked on a time machine/time leaping machine which at the time could only send him backwards in time by 48 hours. After using this time leaping machine countless times he created a rift in his world time line and altered his reality, one to which his very dear friend would always end up dying over and over. He skipped back in time thousands of times trying to undo what he had done until one day he finally reached steins;gate and everything was once again at peace. Since that day Rintarou Okabes biggest fear is losing the ones he holds dearest to his heart and the only way he can overcome it is to never time travel again even though he knows that one day his future self will be able to create and use a time machine that allows him to travel both forward and back in time.
