The last two characters- [[Frog]] and [[Magus]]- originate in [[600 AD]]. Frog is a former squire once named [[Glenn (Chrono Trigger)| Glenn]]; Magus turned Glenn into an anthropomorphic frog and also slew his friend [[Cyrus]]. Chivalrous but mired in regret, Frog dedicates his life to protecting [[Queen Leene]], the Queen of [[Guardia]], and avenging Cyrus. Meanwhile, [[Guardia]] in 600 A.D. is in a state of war against the [[Fiend]]s (known as Mystics in the SNES and PS versions), a race of demons and intelligent animals. Under the leadership of Magus, a powerful sorcerer, they wage war against humanity. While Magus appears to be a powerful magician, in his seclusion he contains a long-lost past, a time when he used to be known as [[Janus]], the young prince of the [[Kingdom of Zeal]], which was destroyed by [[Lavos]] in [[12000 BC]]. The incident propelled him forward in time, and as he ages, he plots revenge against Lavos and broods over the fate of his sister, [[Schala]]. Lavos, who awakens and ravages the world in [[1999 A.D.]], is an extraterrestrial parasitic creature that harvests DNA and the Earth's energy for its own growth. | |||
The | The characters of ''Chrono Trigger'' were designed by Akira Toriyama based on sketches from the story planner Masato Kato. The development team wanted a diverse cast to reflect the various eras visited by the player; while working on the in-battle actions of the game, they decided to include a playable character that was neither human nor robot. Kato drew sketches for a cast of eight playable characters, comprising a male protagonist, the daughter of a fairy king, a tin robot, a monster man, an inventor girl, a demon king, a primitive girl, and an old sage. Pig and monkey characters were also considered. Six of the initial ideas were reworked by Toriyama, while the old sage character was scrapped and the monster man replaced with Toriyama's own frog man design. | ||
