Random Headcanon about save masters:

they can be very. Very impulsive. And if not kept in line by an outside force or their own strong will, can drive themselves completely insane by constantly reloading their saves instead of dealing with reality.

Due to being the one saving and resetting timelines, when they save and reload themself, they remember things more than your average person.

Like, when Nic reloads a save, he'll not Really remember it, but he'll get a sorta "gut feeling" about something later. A vague deja-vu. Maybe even have alittle phantom pain from whatever hurt/killed him before the save. But nothing clear.

Midori reloading a save, however, has a much clearer picture. Still fuzzy and distant, but more than Nothing.

As a result, save masters can get stuck in the past, reloading the same save over and over to re-experience something or to avoid moving forward with life for one reason or other. Maybe they keep trying again and again to save someone they can't. Maybe they just want to re-live a fun day. Maybe they're dreading tomorrow too much to let it come. Regardless of the reason, without anything in place to stop them, they can catch themselves in a loop.

Theres also the possibility of save masters becoming numb to the gravity of things since they can just reload and try again. They're like That Kind of skyrim player that'll save right before doing as much fucked up shit as possible Just To See What Would Happen.

Save masters can be a detriment to themselves and the multiverse's timelines, so thats why the SAPU are very VERY adamant about keeping them in check. A rogue save master can be a very dangerous thing.

Having time powers already can cause any of these afflictions, but rarely would a temprocal component user have the ability energy to do such things enough times in rapid succession to reach a similar state.

Idk why i just had the idea in my head.

Most Save Masters know the risks and as a result usually have to limit their personal use of their abilities to resist the temptation to savescum.

Idk what got my mind on time loops n the mental toll of a self inflicted one today but i guess thats just the vibe lmao
