Chrono Trigger/Characters

The information on this page details the background information, use in the game and additional details of every unique character in the game. A sprite that can speak is not a significant character, one that affects the plot or has some significance to the game is.

Main Characters
In order of appearance.

Crono
Crono is the classic mute protagonist, a simple avatar for the player. He uses swords, and learns lightning magic once he reaches the End of Time. You'll be forced to have him in your party up until Chapter 24, The Time Egg but during the last portion of the game based around sidequests you can choose whomever you want.

Lucca
The brainy genius, you'll have the option to keep her in your party for most of the game. She uses guns which rely on her hit rating, and fire magic.

Marle
One of four characters in the game who don't give their real name: Marle is actually Princess Nadia, heir of Guardia castle. She dislikes being couped up in the Castle and following royal mannerisms; a tomboy of sorts. Her weapon of choice is the bow (it looks more like a crossbow); the damage dealt depends on the attack power of the bow and her Hit stat.

Frog
Also known as Glenn, a medievel swordsfrog who's essential in the fight against Magus. He'll learn water magic.

Robo
Also known as R66-Y or Prometheus, Robo is a resident of the apocalyptic future whose weapons can have a physical or shadow element.
