DarkShadowBlaze Oh. So like a quantum leaper. Hmm. Yeah, not sure.
Looking for a term for a character that has gone back in time?

Yeah pretty much I was thinking of somthing like traveller, but I want it to be somthing that readers will recognise as being a time traveller.
DarkShadowBlaze why not use "time traveler" then?
GegeSadewa
Cause I wanted somthing simple like Regressor and Returner and was hoping there was already another word for it without saying out right they are a time traveller.
DarkShadowBlaze maybe reincarnated?
Time Deviants? Time Drifters? Time Meanderer? Time Divergers? (Dunno if the last's a real word, whatever I'm making crap up)
Drakonous
Those are good I properly remove the time part though cause I want it to be somthing that makes sense, but not out right stating.

Reincarnated is more being reborn though rather then travelling back in time.
DarkShadowBlaze perhaps using other word that means time and traveler? I think chrono also means time? How about transtemporal ?
Chrono regressive.

Actually, I disagree.
Reincarnated simply means that the person's soul was reborn in another body.
I believe, as an Author, you can then play with that as there is no rule that the person could not be reincarnated to the past. cough
I say that only on the basis that my MC did exactly that. I just used the word 'reincarnated' and did not refer to the MC as any particular term though. I don't think there's really a terminology for what you're looking for as it's not something that is popular or used.
More so if you're saying he went back to the past, and is reincarnated. If he was not and he simply went back to the past, then he would be a time traveller (though that is misleading as well if he only did it once)?
Sorry, just rambling on and no suggestion as to the term that you're seeking ....
