History Characters / ChronoCross

* TheyDo: In a picture shown [[spoiler:at the end by Schala's diary]], we see a photo of what appears to be someone in a tux and [[spoiler:Kid]] in white, which would seem to indicate they got hitched. [[AllThereInTheManual According to the ''Missing Piece'' art book]], this is indeed a wedding photo, and this "someone" is indeed Serge.

* BadassInCharge: He personally directs whatever troops he has at his disposal.

* BadassInCharge: Norris is the leader of the elite Black Wind.

** [[spoiler:The dragons in general are this, particularly the White Dragon. She helps you throughout your stint as Lynx and even saves you from death on occasion. However, this is ultimately all to guide you to destroy [=FATE=] so that they can reform into their true from and attempt to bring about the age of Reptiles again, which would destroy humanity.]]

* BettyAndVeronica: With Leena and Kid, respectively. Leena is (an alternate universe version of) his hometown sweetheart. She laments the burden of responsibility that comes with being an adult, watches out for her younger siblings, dresses conservatively in a long dress. She's a magic focused character and her element is Blue, the color of water and ice. Kid is a firey hot blooded thief who rescues Serge from Dragoons and immediately takes a liking to him. She dresses in BareYourMidriff with a tube top and booty shorts, is melee and crime focused with her stealing techs, and her element is Red, the color of fire. The two are also immensely jealous of one another, with Leena refusing to join your party if Kid joins you initially, and Kid storming off if she sees you with Leena in Termina.

* BareYourMidriff: Among other things.

* BareYourMidriff: Although really, it's unclear if she's wearing a shirt.

* BareYourMidriff: A very short tube top with a vest.

* BareYourMidriff: Miki wears a short bustier that does not cover her midriff.

* BareYourMidriff: His harness shows off most of his torso.

* MegaTwintails: Her blond pigtails reach to her upper arms.

[[caption-width-right:350:A small sample of Chrono Cross's very large cast.]]

* BareFistedMonk: Mostly in the form of {{Armor Piercing Slap}}s.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Her first tech is a superpowered slap.

* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]] He was named, probably even [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous in-story]], after the human name of Frog from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Cyrus]] -- both are named after ancient [[UsefulNotes/{{Iran}} Persian]] kings, both are lovingly close to [[NamesTheSame Glenn]], both wield the Masamune, and both [[spoiler:are optional boss fights]].

* HotScientist: She wears a very figure-hugging lab coat.

* PinocchioSyndrome: Aims to use the Frozen Flame to evolve into a new, living species. The experimentation on El Nido's residents hints that it's been analyzing their behavior.

* Dub name change: Was Ishito before the dub.

* Dubnamechange: Was Ishito before the dub.

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Her WeaponOfChoice.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[MusicalAssassin His guitar]].

* WeaponOfChoice: {{Improbabl|eWeaponUser}}y CoolSword. His personal weapon, Viper's Venom, looks more like a giant anchor than a sword.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[DropTheHammer Hammer]] or axes.

* AnAxeToGrind: His weapon.

* AnAxeToGrind: His weapon.

* AnAxeToGrind: It's almost as big as she is.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[DropTheHammer Hammer]] or {{A|nAxeToGrind}}xes.

* ShesGotLegs: Her introductory cutscene FMV pans up to show her toned, athletic legs.

* AncestralWeapon: The Einlanzer, which you can gain in a sidequest. And then the AlternateUniverse setup of the game [[DualWielding allows you to get]] ''[[GameBreaker another one.]]''

* ActionGirl: As [[LetsPlay/TheDarkId The Dark Id's LP]] puts it, the primary choice between the "Save Kid" vs. "Don't save Kid" paths is Glenn and his physical powerhouse abilities against Razzly and her magical powerhouse abilities.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: On the "Don't Save Kid" route, Razzly can never be recruited due to her [[FedToTheBeast already having been killed and eaten]] by the Pentapus [[YouAreTooLate by the time you find where she's imprisoned]].

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Cats used to be his worst fear after he was attacked by a panther as a child, though he grew out of it by the time he became a teenager. Not only is his mortal enemy a hulking cat-man, but El Nido is swarming with cats, and Serge even gets [[BalefulPolymorph turned into]] a feline at one point! [[spoiler:Not to mention suffering a GrandTheftMe that leaves him stuck in the body of said cat-man enemy. Though the form of said cat-man enemy was specifically chosen to target Serge's fear of cats.]]

* BalefulPolymorph: He winds up getting acclimated to it.

* BalefulPolymorph: He can turn people into cats. He gives up this trick after you take advantage of this form.

* NiceShoes: Steel-toed work boots with overhanging socks.

* LostForever: Not going along with Home Van's idea to find the Frozen Flame gets him and his father evicted from their home and disappear by their landlord, [[HateSink who proceeds to scheme selling their unsold paintings for a fortune.]]

* AbsoluteCleavage: By way of a CleavageWindow in her shirt.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Miki is quite busty and her top is designed in a way to show off a lot of her cleavage.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Fitting for her since she's a dancer.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Through another CleavageWindow.

* MartialArtsStaff: For the uninitiated, seems like a walking cane. But no, it's a melee weapon!

* MartialArtsStaff: In her default state, she uses one of these as her main weapon.

* SimpleStaff: For the uninitiated, seems like a walking cane. But no, it's a melee weapon!

* SimpleStaff: In her default state, she uses one of these as her main weapon.
