Abilities
​
Much like a video game, Marcel is able to mentally press save in the moment before continuing on with his life, and is able to bounce back to that save point whenever he wishes and relive the saved moment over and over until he decides to move on.
However once he reverts to the save, he cannot go back to where he came from. And once a save is replaced, the one before disappears for good. Sometimes he will get stuck in a loop, unable to move on from the moment for fear of leaving it behind.
But because of his abilities, he is unable to die. Or, he can die but will always revert back to the last save so he never stays dead. So far he has died 226 times and counting. No matter what, he always comes back and either gets stuck in a loop, or does something to avoid what killed him in the first place.
​
Marcel’s powers came about completely by accident. When he was sixteen, he accidentally saved a moment without realizing it. Two years later he got in a car accident and woke up back in his bedroom at age sixteen. Obviously, he freaked out and tried to explain what happened to his sister who he was close to, or his best friend. Neither believed him and thought he was just making it up. After he didn’t let it go, they decided he was having major delusions and they had him see a therapist who eventually suggested he be put in a hospital. When his parents agreed, he panicked and wished the moment would stop. Instead of stopping it, he felt a click in his brain that stood out but he didn’t understand it. A few days later, he was in the car on the way to the hospital, wishing he could go back and he opened his eyes and he was back in the therapist's office, that same clicking in his head once more. That was when it slowly started to make sense but he wasn’t sure. That night at home, he focused until that clicking happened. He waited a few minutes and tried to recreate it and the clock went back to the time he saved. He couldn’t fully believe it but he knew in the end that it had to be true. So he ran away the night before he was supposed to go to the hospital and he never looked back. Life after that became interesting, but he found ways to use his powers to his advantage, reliving days over and over until he could figure out a way to get what he wanted.
​
Despite his abilities, he tried to live as normal of a life as possible, but he saved often so he wouldn’t accidentally end up months behind where he left off. It started to make life hard for him though, unable to live completely in the moment, obsessed with saving so he never lost any progress in life, and trying to avoid situations that would ever make him have to jump back to fix things. But he did it anyways. He fixed relationships that he crumbled, plans that he failed, mistakes that he made. It made him successful, but at what cost? It also has caused him to take less responsibility for his actions and has made him rather reckless, which explains his high death count. He’s not afraid of getting hurt, because he knows he can always go back. Despite this confidence, he is rather awkward and doesn’t know how to be real with people. He doesn’t open up easily and is rather abrupt when talking to people because chances are he has already had that conversation 10 times over. He often says what he thinks needs to be heard so he can keep moving forward. He is stuck in the mindset that life is a game, and he just needs to win so it will be over. People aren’t important to him. He believes genuine relationships can’t happen or ever be real because he can always go back and change them. It’s a lonely life, but he’s gotten used to it.
