{{nihongo|'''Crono'''|クロノ|Kurono|"Chrono" in Japanese media}} is the silent protagonist in [[Chrono Trigger]]. He lives with [[Crono's Mother |his mother]] (whose name is given as Gina in the Japanese version) in [[Truce]] village under the rule of the [[Guardia|Kingdom of ]][[Guardia]][[Guardia|.]]
 
In [[12000 BC|12000 BC,]] when the party is confronted with [[Lavos]] in the [[Ocean Palace]] of the [[Kingdom of Zeal]], he sacrifices himself to save his friends, though he can be revived later in the game. With time travel, the player can manage to replace Crono in the moment before he dies with a copy received from the Millenial 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. Crono speaks once in one of the endings to Chrono Trigger, saying just a few lines of dialogue. He uses a katana as a weapon and once he obtains magical ability, his [[Tech]]s become lightning-oriented. 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.
 
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 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 AD 1005, it is unknown what happened to Crono during this event. In the sequel, [[Chrono Cross]], Crono makes an appearance alongside Marle and [[Lucca]] as apparitions of themselves as ghost children. It is probable that he and [[Marle]] are alive during the events of Chrono Cross.
 
 
==Appearance==
Crono has spikey red hair. He has bright blue eyes and wears a short sleeved green shirt underneath a light blue tunic. He always has a katana and a black belt, along with yellow pants, a pair of dark brown boots and gauntlets and a white headband around his forehead.
 
==Chrono Cross==
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. A version of him appears as one of the [[Ghost Children]] three times. 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 "Ghosts," the other two members of the original time-traveling group, implores Serge to destroy Lavos once and for all.
 
==Abilities==
Typical among RPG 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, [[Lucca]]'s [[Wondershot]] can do more damage but the damage it inflicts varying makes it less reliable), he's one of the main damage dealers. [[Crono]] possesses a variety of techs, which include offensive and support techs. Though he isn't as effective a healer as [[Marle]] is (she has a greater variety of healing techs), he can still heal for good amount of health, and he can cast [[Raise]] on allies to revive them. For offensive techs, he can inflict both physical damage and magical damage, and his higher level magic techs hit all enemies. His highest level spell, [[Luminaire]], is, along with [[Magus]]' [[Dark Matter]], the strongest spell in the game.
 
As Crono's element is [[Lightning]]/[[Heaven]]/[[Light]], he takes extra damage from [[Shadow]] element attacks.
 
==Single Techs==
{{Crono Single Techs}}
 
==Trivia==
*In the FMVs for the Chrono Trigger remake on the Playstation, Crono is noted by fans to resemble adult [[wikipedia: Son Goku|Goku]] from [[wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]]. This is because Crono is designed by [[Akira Toriyama]], creator of Dragon Ball Z.
*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).
