"Around the valley lie huge heaped metal tubes, which can be climbed to access treasure. These just serve to bring back memories of FFVII and that fucking annoying scrapyard/playground area. For fuck's sake, even the dungeons are being copied from other games. At least this game doesn't have FFVII's atrocious translation, or we'd be hearing things like 'that girl are an airhead'."

Chrono Trigger : Cast
In order of recap appearance.
1 : 2 : 3
| Crono |
|
Nickname(s): SpikyRedHead, Punk
Age: ?
Description: Typical mute teenager who wields a katana and ends up saving the world. He looks like Goku, thanks to Toriyama Akira, and kicks about as much ass. He lives at home with his Exposition!Mom, and his dad ran away years ago to live with his Venezuelan Love Slave. Maybe all the stress from coping with this separation explains Crono's penchant for kleptomania and beating up everybody in sight.

First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| Marle |
|
Nickname(s): CuteGirlwithOrangeHair, HaremPants, M!Sue
Age: ?
Description: Tomboy princess who latches onto Crono at the Millennial Fair and soon after falls hopelessly in love with him. She carries a pendant that will become an integral part of the story in later recaps, and her "leap before you look" mentality results in lots of extra questing for me. I despise this girl.

First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| Lucca |
|
Nickname(s): NerdyGlassesGirl, Rosie
Age: ?
Description: As the Lovechild of McGyver and a Swiss Army knife, this girl is the plot device to end all plot devices. Need some exposition, translations of archaic texts, or even repairs on your technologically advanced robot? Look no further, as Lucca can do it all! She also has the obligatory "Nerdy Best Friend's Unrequited Love for the Hero" thing going on, but that pales in comparison to everything else she has working for her.

First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| Frog |
|
Nickname(s): NobleLookingFrogMan, Frogman
Age: ?
Description: Frog is ... a frog. He joins Crono and Lucca to help save Leene, but after the job is done, he leaves the party to further his Tragic Backstory. He thinks Crono "hath the potential to be a great swordsman", which may or may not be his idea of a great pick-up line.

First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| King Guardia XXI |
|
Nickname(s): none
Age: ?
Description: This guy is Marle's ancestor and the King of Guardia. He doesn't do much else besides get down and dirty with Leene.
|
|
First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| Chancellor |
|
Nickname(s): none
Age: ?
Description: If you ever see this guy, RUN AWAY, or he'll make life tough for you in any way possible. My personal opinion is that when ZZTop rejected him, claiming his beard wasn't of the right type, he turned to a life of crime. The Chancellor of 600 AD wears brown and the Chancellor of 1000 AD wears green, but don't be fooled. They're ALL bad news.

|
First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| Leene |
|
Nickname(s): none
Age: Significantly Older than M!Sue
Description: The woman who introduced the MarySue gene to the royal family. Her hobbies include being kidnapped and rescued, spouting exposition, and making babies. She is Marle's ancestor from the year 600 AD, and the two look exactly alike. Conveniently enough.
|
|
First appearance:
Part 1
|
|
| King Guardia XXXIII |
|
Nickname(s): none
Age: Really Old.
Description: Marle's daddy. He disapproves of her odd clothes, tendency to sneak into town and latch on to strange young men, and other assorted un-Princess like qualities. Like any good RPG father figure, he is only important to the story when he is causing problems for all parties involved.
|
|
First appearance:
Part 2
|
|
| Doan |
|
Nickname(s): ExposiDoan
Age: Also Really Old.
Description: This guy is -- surprise! -- Marle's descendent in the year 2300 AD. He leads a group of people so desperate for food that they will trade a several thousand dollar jet bike for a couple of seeds. Obviously, we can see he got his intelligence from Marle. At least he doesn't look like her, too.
|
|
First appearance:
Part 2
|
|
| Robo |
|
Nickname(s): GiantRobot, Kosmo
Age: ?
Description: Whereas Lucca, even with her glasses, skintight miniskirt/leggings combo, and love of exposition, was able to avoid being labeled as a Shion knockoff, Robo was not so lucky. He was doomed to play the role of a male KOS-MOS before he had even blooped out his first line of dialogue. He's a robot that was found in 2300 AD's Proto Dome and joined the crew after Lucca fixed him. At least he doesn't sleep in a big black phallus.
