Line 2:
This is the character sheet for ''[[Chrono Cross]]'', a game in which there are [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], 45 playable. Have a seat, this could take a while...
== [[PC
=== Serge ===
[[File:
The main character, and your standard teenaged fantasy protagonist, complete with sheltered upbringing in a fairly isolated hamlet and [[Disappeared Dad]]. While collecting scales for his girlfriend's necklace one morning, Serge stumbles into a bizarre portal and winds up in an alternate dimension, where his friends and family no longer recognize him. {{spoiler|As an infant, he was brought into contact with the Frozen Flame as the result of his ship being blown off-course. With no other survivors in the lab, Serge was automatically designated the Flame's Abiter, or controller; this effectively locked FATE out from using the Flame. FATE needs Serge's body in order to bypass the failsafe}}.
Line 40:
=== Lynx ===
[[File:
A feline demihuman and Kid's [[Arch Enemy]]. Currently serving as shady advisor to the Arcadia Dragoons, promising to lead them to the Frozen Flame. For reasons unknown to Serge, Lynx is actively seeking him out. {{spoiler|He was originally Serge's father, Wazuki, before becoming FATE's servant. FATE reshaped him to resemble the panther that attacked Serge as a baby. He managed to kill Serge once already, but this was not sufficient; another universe branched off from that event, with a duplicate Serge still running around. FATE's Plan "B" is to possess Serge's body in order to get at the Frozen Flame}}.
Line 74:
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]}}: It is revealed {{spoiler|posthumously}} that he is {{spoiler|Serge's father, Wakuzi}}, corrupted beyond recognition.
** Though this is revealed so late in the game that one wonders why they even bothered.
* [[Meet the New Boss]]: Like Glenn and Luccia, Lynx is a deliberate throwback to one of ''Chrono Trigger's''
* [[Mobile Menace]]: He dawdles at times, but he still has a tremendous lead. Especially when he beats the heroes to Chronopolis.
* [[Mouth of Sauron]]: As {{spoiler|FATE}}'s meat puppet.
Line 96:
=== Kid ===
[[File:
{{quote|''"I'll kick yer sorry arse so hard you'll kiss the moons!"''}}
Line 137:
=== Leena ===
[[File:
Serge's childhood sweetheart. [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Until Kid shows up, of course.]] In order to recruit her, you have to [[But Thou Must!|turn Kid down three times]] after you first meet her, otherwise she is [[Lost Forever]] as a recruitable character. When Serge meets the Leena from Another World, she does not believe him to be the dead Serge but a boy with memory disorder; she joins the player's party to help him recover.
Line 155:
=== Doc ===
[[File:
{{quote|''""Humans are, like, totally powerless, dude! With crafty knowledge we may extend our lives a fraction, but we just extend our suffering, too. But in reality, all we can do is leave ourselves in nature's hands and die the way nature intends us to... That is the awesome truth!? Gnarly!"''}}
Line 173:
=== Draggy ===
[[File:
A baby dragon, hatched from an [[Egg MacGuffin]].
Line 186:
=== Fargo ===
[[File:
A pirate. What more needs to be said? Originally a merc for the Dragoons, Fargo had a major falling out with General Viper, inspiring Fargo to become a marauder full-time. Lynx later fell in with Viper, causing problems for Fargo and his crew. They engendered the legend of the Ghost Ship to avoid detection, and used it to terrorize the high seas.
Line 204:
* [[Oh My Gods]]: What in the name of Davy Jones is goin' on here!?
* [[Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught]]: In Home World, Fargo is the captain of a cruise ship, the S.S. Zelbess, and is a cheater in his own casino.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: (Another). While [[Badass]], there's not a lot of raping and pillaging going on aboard the ''S.S. Invincible''
* [[Pirate Parrot]]: "Polly" is several times his size, mind...
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Fargo enjoys his cigars.
Line 210:
=== Funguy ===
[[File:
A [[Was Once a Man|formerly human]] mushroom enthusiast hit with a bad case of [[Baleful Polymorph|You Are What You Eat]]. Since this is [[Sarcasm Mode|obviously]] ''[[Never My Fault|your]]'' fault, he demands to join your party in the hopes the Frozen Flame will return him to normal.
Line 221:
=== Glenn ===
[[File:
A young knight, and Dario's younger brother. He's an excellent swordsman and even has a double-tech with Serge. The path to recruiting him (which requires you to leave Kid to die) has led many a player to exclaim [[Guide Dang It]].
Line 237:
=== Greco ===
[[File:
{{quote|''"Wherever there is light, there is also shadow... So it is the light that gives birth to shadow! Ghetz, I now understand, amigo...! But is it too late...?"''}}
Line 251:
* [[Power Fist]]
* [[Punny Name]]: His is U.S. name, especially combined with Ghetz's young sister, whom he watches over, Romana, is a pun on Greco-Roman wrestling, while his Japanese name is a reference to wrestler Astrud Gilberto.
* [[Religion Is Magic]]: Upon meeting him, Greco is immediately able to discern Serge's unique
* [[Religious Bruiser]]
* [[Stone Wall]]: His attack power and accuracy are lacking, but he can take a ''hell'' of a beating.
=== Grobyc ===
[[File:
Cyborg officer of the Porre Military, and a much-touted "secret weapon." His creator, Luccia's brother, was killed in a lab explosion while grafting a relic from Chronopolis onto Grobyc's arm. This resulted in Grobyc's deployment being back a few years. Ironically, his current overseer, Norris, was behind the bombing as he feared the ramifications of Grobyc becoming too powerful. Grobyc, who admires strength, defects to Serge's party after the latter defeats him in a fight.
Line 272:
=== Guile ===
[[File:
A mysterious masked man in Termina. He's one of the three possible candidates you can recruit to break in to Viper manor.
