{{nihongo|'''Crono'''|クロノ|Kurono|"Chrono" in Japanese media}} is the silent protagonist in {{CT}}. He lives with [[Crono's Mother |his mother]] in [[Truce]] in the [[Present]]. His personality matches that of the conventional hero archetype and he is willing to place his life on the line for the sake of others. | |||
==Appearance== | |||
Crono has spiky red hair. He has green eyes and wears a short sleeved green shirt underneath a light blue tunic. He also wears a black belt, along with yellow pants, a pair of dark brown boots and gauntlets, a white [[headband]] around his forehead, and an orange ascot around his neck. He always keeps a [[katana]] close at hand. | |||
== | ==Biography== | ||
Born in 983 A.D. to [[Crono's Mother|Gina]] and an unnamed father in the city of [[Truce]], Crono quickly befriends a girl named [[Lucca]]. Seventeen years later, on the day of the [[Millennial Fair]], Crono met his bride-to-be, [[Marle]], though he did not know it at the time. Together, they enjoy the fair's festivities until the unveiling of Lucca's new invention, the [[Telepod]]. Always faithful to his friend, he agrees to test the device despite all dangers. The transportation is successful. However, when Marle tests it, she is sent back in time. Following her, Crono returns her to the [[Present]] and rescues her lost ancestor [[Queen Leene]] to ensure Marle's birth in that time period. | |||
[[File:Crono_FMV4.jpg|thumb|left|Crono in the [[FMV]]. ]] Returning Marle to [[Guardia Castle]], her home, Crono is accused of kidnapping her in attempts to thwart the throne. Represented by [[Pierre (Chrono Trigger)|Pierre]] in a trial, Crono is sentenced to death. [[Lucca]] frees him seconds before he is brought to the Guillotine and together, they flee the [[Prison Towers]]. On their way to [[Guardia Forest]], Marle tags along and the three travel to the [[Future]] via an open [[Gate]]. Investigating the area in search of a means to return home, Crono and his friends find food supplies for the inhabitants of [[Arris Dome]], where he also meets his descendant [[Doan]] and learns that the ruined future was caused by [[Lavos]]. He vows to save the planet from destruction through the use of time-travel. Shortly after, he assists a robotic man named [[Robo]] in deactivating a [[Derelict Factory]] to find a way home. | |||
Entering the Gate, he arrives at the [[End of Time]] where he receives magical abilities. With the aid of these powers and the powers of his allies, Crono successfully reforges the [[Masamune]] by acquiring [[Dreamstone]] in [[Prehistory]] and attempts to slay the Fiendlord, [[Magus]], who he believes is the root of Lavos' presence in the time line. This leads him back to Prehistory where helps the [[Ioka Village|Iokans]] destroy the [[Reptite]]s, thus securing the evolution and prosperity of the human race whose lives were jeopardized by these sentient lizards. Directly afterward, he realizes Lavos was not summoned by Magus, but is an alien species who fell from the sky in this time period. Attempting to follow the beast to the crater it created by landing, he is transported to the [[Antiquity]] era. | |||
[[File:Crono_FMV1.jpg|thumb|left|Crono's soul is eaten by [[Lavos]] in the [[FMV]].]]In the Antiquity era, he rescues [[Melchior]] from the [[Mountain of Woe]] and subsequently attempts to rescue [[Schala]], the innocent Zeal Princess who is being exploited by her mother, [[Queen Zeal]]. When Crono confronts with [[Lavos]] in the [[Ocean Palace]] of the [[Kingdom of Zeal]] as a result of the rescue mission, he sacrifices himself to save everyone present. With time travel, his friends manage to replace Crono in the moment before he dies with a [[Doppel Doll|clone]] received from the Millennial Fair in [[1000 A.D.]], saving his life. While the other six playable characters have many lines of dialogue, Crono's responses to events are usually implied only through reaction and gesture, often for comedic effect, which wrongfully depicts him as insincere at the moment of his resurrection. Returned to normal, Crono and two others confront Lavos, destroy it, and return peace to [[Guardia]]. After, Crono travels back in time to rescue his mother who haphazardly stumbled into a Gate. | |||
There are some points where he's shown to have romantic feelings for [[Marle]]. At one point where he's knocked out, he has a dream where Marle is his wife. The [[PlayStation]] and [[Chrono Trigger DS|DS versions]] of ''Chrono Trigger'' include an [[FMV]] scene at the end that shows Crono and Marle getting married. While a second FMV depicts the fall of Guardia Kingdom in year A.D. 1005, it is unknown what happened to Crono during this event. It is probable that he and [[Marle]] are alive during the events of {{CC}}, as Doan (Crono and Marle's descendent) still exists in the new timeline of 2300 A.D. | |||
=== | ==''Chrono Cross''== | ||
[[File:Crono_GhostChild.png|left|thumb|Crono as a [[Ghost Children|Ghost Child]].]] Crono's fate is implied to in [[Radius]]'s statement about the Kingdom of Guardia no longer being peaceful. Like Marle, he is very likely alive as referenced in Lucca's letter about her friends. Three times in this time line, a version of him appears as one of the [[Ghost Children]] along with Marle and Lucca. The first time, he states that the future in which Earth is ruined by Lavos is going to be brought back into being due to the interference of [[Serge]], who caused the [[Home World]] and [[Another World]] split. The second time is in an illusory space at [[Terra Tower]], in which Belthasar enlightens Serge's party about some of the affairs of the Dragons. Crono's final appearance in ''Chrono Cross'' comes immediately before the final battle of the game. Crono tells Serge that [[Wazuki]] was turned into [[Lynx]] by [[FATE]], and along with his fellow "[[Ghost Children|Ghosts]]," the other two members of the original time-traveling group, implores Serge to destroy Lavos once and for all. | |||
== | ==Abilities== | ||
[[File:Crono_FMV3.jpg|thumb|right|Crono in the [[FMV]].]]Crono wields [[katana]]s as a weapon. Typical among [[role-playing game]] protagonists, Crono is a well balanced character with no major weakness. His physical damage is respectable, along with his speed, health, and defense. Because he can equip some very strong weapons (including the [[Dreamseeker]], the strongest weapon in the game overall), he's one of the main damage dealers. Crono possesses a variety of techs, which include offensive and support techs. He can cast [[Raise]] on allies to revive them, and for offensive techs, he can inflict both physical damage and magical damage, and his higher level magic techs hit all enemies. | |||
In the original Japanese version of the game, Crono's element was {{nihongo|''Ten''|天}}, which means "heaven". In the ''[[Chrono Trigger (DS)|DS version of Chrono Trigger]]'', Crono's element is translated to Light, which is more in line with the original Japanese translation. | |||
As Crono's element is | As Crono's element is [[Lightning]]/[[Heaven]]/[[Light]], he takes extra damage from [[Shadow]] element attacks. | ||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Crono | *Crono is the only character totally confirmed to be left handed. | ||
*Crono has no dialogue in the game (although in one ending he has a few lines of dialogue). | |||
*Crono is a condensed form of ''Chrono'', a Latin prefix for ''time''. Since Crono is the lead protagonist in a time-traveling game, this name is very appropriate. | |||
