Okabe Rintaro the Main Character of Steins;Gate

I figure that since I can talk at length about Steins;Gate maybe I should talk about it's protagonist Okabe Rintaro, or as he likes to be called Hououin Kyouma. Okabe is one of the most intelligent members of the lab he is also the founder and leader of the F.G. Lab or Future Gadget Lab. Okabe is often shown as if he is delusional or insane due to his deliberately acting like a mad scientist or how he sometimes talks to himself over the phone and pretends to be working for a group fighting against "The Organization" but it is shown later that most of this is just for fun and because it makes him seem mysterious and cool, nobody finds him mysterious or cool despite this and infant if they don't think him delusional than they think he is arrogant. Really he is quite socially awkward and eccentric he is actually a very kind and caring person when you get down to it he puts in an honest effort to help people and get their agreement before he sets right what they changed with time travel. He is quite intelligent and the only character who understands Kurisu the fourth member of the lab when she talks about technical details. Okabe has the unique ability to edit timelines not out of special abilities but because his memory stays consistent throughout the timelines so he can notice inconsistencies, other characters can have memories from other timelines they just tend to experience it through dreams where his are direct memories. Okabe is shown to get quite serious and drop the whole "Mad Scientist" act when things get serious.
