Everybody knows Crono's adventures here at the Compendium, and I take it that the simplest way to describe it would be, "Punk haired kid with a Katana he stole from god-knows-whom travels through time with his friends, learns magic and saves the world." But that's just from our perspective. But the biggest questions any writer would ask would be what does the story look like from the eyes of the characters within it? Some people know what's going on, some people are involved in it, some be bystanders doing nothing but walking at the same spot 24/7.
And here I ask what the mindset of the people in the Middle Ages would be. They never knew what Time Travel was, and they never knew if there was such a thing as awesome as Science. All they knew was that if they left their houses demons would attack them, climb their windows, snatching their people up, so they gotta hide their kids, hide their wife, husbands, parents, grandparents, etc. and there was nobody they could trust. The Fiendlord waged war upon all humanity, a war against light and all that's good. People coward in fear, but one brave warrior and his trusty squire stood up to the demons with a Take Me To Your Leader attitude. They fought their way, showed their worth, and turned the tables. Alas, the warrior died, the people lost all hope and the Fiendlord banged his chest and laughed, "Ima heerow, durr huurr hurrr!"
But then a miracle happened: The Fiendlord was defeated, and the demons fled to whence they came. 'Twas none other than the squire Glenn who took up the sword of the fallen, but it didn't end there. The person, who played a major role in the war, was whom they called Sir Crono of Guardia. Nobody knew who this elusive, mysterious hero was and whence he came, except that this punk-haired messiah appeared from the heavens when darkness conquered, brought them light, and vanished without a trace. This immortal angel was there in the decisive war against the Reptites 65000000 years ago, and he also saw through the fall of a majestic kingdom till the end. And all the people knew that a time will come, when the sky becomes their destruction, when a great monster appears from the abyss threatening to send the planet into an apocalyptic wasteland, when all hope is lost, Sir Crono will come and deliver his judgement before that happens. In his Fourth Coming, he shall defeat the Demon of Abyss called Lavos with a single swing of his Flaming/Rainbow Sword, then shall hold his hands high and call for Light (aka Luminaire), and all will be light again.
The story of this Holy Adventurer has been passed down since the Middle Ages in forms of paintings, poetry, books, plays, and especially (popular among the kids), the heroic retelling of Sir Crono Facts.
So tell us how the legends of Sir Crono may have passed around throughout the Middle Ages! Here are a few examples:
In the Fourth Day since the universe began, when the God of War called Spekkio called him Punk-Head, Sir Crono pointed at him and said, "Let there be Lightning!" And all was good. And fried.
Sir Crono's power level is indeed Over 9000. He just prefers to be modest about it.
Sir Crono doesn't need to speak. His sword does all the talking.
Once Belthasar asked Sir Crono to turn him off. Sir Crono did and accepted his Time Machine. As a thank you deed, Sir Crono went back in time and let Belthasar live.
Sir Crono doesn't need a Holy Sword like the Masamune. After a decisive battle in the Middle Ages, the Fiendlord disappeared, too afraid to show his face.
Sir Crono has never lost a battle ever since the Universe began. Ask his legendary hair that is tainted with blood of all that is evil.
Sir Crono beat THE MAN in a bike race. And then took his bike.
Sir Crono's apostles would never deceive him. Not even Magus, even though he was dared to do so.
Sir Crono can kill demons before they are born.
Sir Crono can beat the argument, "TWO CAMELS IN A TINY CAR!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQkYjDeUq10)
Nobody can control Time. But Sir Crono has Time under control.
Sir Crono met Bruce Lee, Einstein, Santa Claus, Nikola Tesla, and all great people of the past. And they were good!
According Sir Crono, love in first sight does happen. Lady Nadia, who he never knew, took one look at him. And fell in love.
-
:D This post is so Epic! I love your idea.
Sir Crono can destroy entire kingdoms to oblivion and reduce them to myths, ask Zeal about it.
Scientists say reptites were killed by a giant meteor. Truth is Sir Crono is the one that killed the reptites AND the meteor.
The dimensional split was not caused by Serge's death. It was Sir Crono who was practicing with his sword one day and accidentally tore appart time and space with one stroke.
The entity didn't do it. Sir Crono did it.
( :picardno mine are so lame... I need to think about more when my brain is not dead)
-
(Awesome perspective and awesome idea, tushantin.)
If your lunch mysteriously disappears, you know Sir Crono is near.
Play nice, or Sir Crono will alter your family history and MAKE you nice.
Sir Crono can raise the dead and kill them again.
Sir Crono discovered it before Toma.
-
I like it, but I don't get the Sir part. He was never knighted.
-
Meh. Who cares?
Superman checks under his bed for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Sir Crono.
-
Heh, let me join in...
Sir Crono was the one who planned the events of CC, he just didn't felt like doing it himself and left Belthazar with the task of doing so.
Porre didn't in fact conquer Guardia, it was the other way around; Sir Crono just took pity on them and decided to use their name for the unified nation.
Sir Crono actually left a duplicate doll beforehand in the Ocean Palace events. But in order to divert attention, he had to keep the party in the dark until they made the 'real' switch, and he played along.
-
Sir Crono is the one Schala's really looking for.
Who's this Serge bitch?
:P
-
Sir Crono was always able to use magic, he waited until he met Spekkio because he knew the world was not yet ready for his awesome power.
The Frozen Flame is actually a piece of Sir Crono fiery punk hair.
The Time Devourer actually let Serge win. The Time Devourer knew that if he killed the guy, he would have to face Sir Crono.
There is no Marle Paradox, Sir Crono just wanted her back, the Entity didn't dare cross him.
When Sir Crono cries, he cries Dragon Tears, too bad Sir Crono never cries
The original ending of CT was the "The Dream Project" ending, because Sir Crono can defeat Lavos with just one hit. SE added the other endings because they feared Sir Crono's real power was too much for the players to handle.
Sir Crono is the reason the Dead Sea is now Dead.
The El Nido Triangle was originally called El Nido Square until Sir Crono showed up and destroyed one of the islands as a katana practice.
Sir Crono is actually the real Arbiter. Lynx stole Serge's body just because he didn't dare to steal Sir Crono's.
The reason the telepod failed and created a gate was not because of Marle's pendant. After teleporting Sir Crono, his awesome power reacted with the telepod and broke reality.
The reason Lavos burrowed deep underneath the Earth for thousand of years was because it was hiding from Sir Crono. Too bad for Lavos no one can hide from him.
-
What is time travel about? Sir Crono's name explains it.
-
A slightly more ridiculous (hopefully humorous) take:
Crono makes Carrot Top reconsider his life choices.
Even his cat scares Ozzie.
He was killed, resurrected, empowered, and took down an evil force. Sound familiar? Except Crono was 16 when he did it. He didn't have a dad either.
That guy never washed his hair. Stuck in all crazy directions. Whooooooo did he smell!
Crono doesn't hang out with normal dudes. It's either robots, demons, talking animals, or ladies.
Crono's girl is mad fine! I'd like to ta-are you recording this?
-
I like it, but I don't get the Sir part. He was never knighted.
I forgot where I got Sir Crono from specifically, I think either FaustWolf, Thought or Boo coined it, but it occurred to me for the Middle Ages folks Crono wasn't native, and was yet regarded highly in Guardia. If he was a great warrior, capable of doing things even The Hero of Choras couldn't do, then despite his knightless name they'd still prefer to call him Sir Crono in all honor; as if the holy knight descended from heaven, someone superior to most.
The reason Lavos burrowed deep underneath the Earth for thousand of years was because it was hiding from Sir Crono. Too bad for Lavos no one can hide from him.
Man, this cracked me up! :lol: Imagine Lavos burying underground and not showing his face in fear Crono would show up. He'd wait 999 years since Crono's birth, hoping the brat would die by then.
Then Lavos would poke his head out like a gopher, look around and ask, "Is he gone? Yeah? Alright then. APOCALYPSEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Crono appears, "This is the last straw, Lavos!"
LavosL "Ahhh........ fuck."
LUMINAIRE!!
Crono doesn't hang out with normal dudes. It's either robots, demons, talking animals, or ladies.
I loved that! XD
Here's some:
Sir Crono ordered Ice Cream at a Jerky store. And got one.
Sir Crono had the Last Supper at Zeal with its folks, because he knew what the Prophet did not: that supper was really Zeal's last.
On the way through Death Peak to retrieve Sir Crono there were lots of Lavos' spawns. When Sir Crono was among them on the way down, none of the spawns was left.
Sir Crono was so badass his father gave him a Katana in his tenth birthday... before he fled the house in horror.
it is known that when Sir Crono became King, he shaved began shaving his beard with his Katana.
Guardia's Royal Seal is a Dactyl design, because the founding forefathers witnessed Sir Crono's majestic flight on a Dactyl. Sir Crono declined having his own name as the seal, as he said, "Dactyl's are awesome!"
-
I like it, but I don't get the Sir part. He was never knighted.
Sir Crono was born knighted. :P
Sir Crono is the seventh element, the Crono Cross only summons him into the battle. You win instantly.
The original Bible was entitled "Sir Crono and Friends".
Sir Crono never talks because that would kill everyone around him instantly with the badass power of his voice.
Sir Crono won THE GAME. THE GAME loses when it thinks of Sir Crono.
And this one, just because I can use some coffee right now:
There are now five cup sizes at Starbucks: Short, Tall, Grande, Venti, and Sir Crono.
-
Sir Crono was conceived when Gina had a one-night-stand with Lavos after getting drunk on a can of whoopass.
-
When the Pyramid Seal Nu offered Sir Crono the two chests and asked him to choose, Sir Crono took a third option and grabbed them both.
-
And now, for a haiku!
Sir Crono saw therein
Black Omens rise almighty, and
Conquered by his blade.
-
Crono was named after the legend he left behind.
-
The reason why the game isn't the Crono series is because he was kind enough to not take all the credit.
All that Crono has to do to destroy a Dragon Tank is point his sword at it and say, "Shink."
-
Sir Crono was the original protagonist of CC, but stood down because he pitied Serge and thought it might help the poor guy get some ladies.
Sir Crono is the one that founded Guardia, he just let Cedric Guardia pick the name.
Sir Crono named one of his cats after Chuck Norris, because he knows Chuck Norris is a pussy.
Once Sir Crono got some kidney's stones passed. You may know them now as dreamstones.

Best ever.
-
Sir Crono doesn't need to know the elements of Magic. He's got the element of Surprise.
Sir Crono doesn't really cast Luminaire. He just gets an idea that manifests itself into a light so brilliant, his enemies chose to die rather than know what he's thinking.
Sir Crono can chew beef jerky and blow a bubble with it.
Sir Crono's doesn't gel his hair every morning. He just commands it to defy gravity.
Sir Crono doesn't need a Time Gate. He can open a rift in the space-time continuum with one swing of his katana.
-
The reason why Lavos crashed directly onto the Tyrano Lair is because he wanted to end the battle with a bang, and gave Lavos a ring.
-
These are amazing :lol:
Sir Crono killed Lavos with a mop.
Sir Crono hit the fiendlord so hard he went back in time 11,400 years.
Sir Crono doesn't need armor he can create it from the electrical field of his Luminare.
Sir Crono's Katana is far longer than yours.
-
Sir Crono only needed 5 Gill from his mom to enjoy the fair, get laid, participate in Time Travelling, go on an adventure, enjoy beef jerky, buy stuff across time, party with the Cave Men, destroy the greatest threat in the world AND to become King of the most powerful nation in the planet.
-
Sir Crono beat down the Chancellor and made him nice by a neural rewrite with a simple swing of his katana. Those who witnessed it said the Chancellor turned into a monster because the awesomeness of Sir Crono's swing was too much for them to comprehend, so their memories changed the event.
No one confiscated Sir Crono's weapons when he was in jail because they were already pushing it as it was, putting him in jail in the first place.
Guardia doesn't need an entire police force. Sir Crono can do the job of a thousand men.
-
Goku did achieved Supersaiya-jin level 5, his hair gets firey red and it's known as "Sir Crono level".
Sir Crono can change history without time traveling at all. He just says what he wants changed and reality readjust itself to please him
You know how there is no San dorino in 1000AD? Once, the pervert of San Dorino insulted Sir Crono's girl. Sir Crono Luminaired his town out of existance to teach him a lesson.
Sir Crono let Frog split the mountain in two with the Masamune because the last time Sir Crono tried to split a mountain with his Katana, the Zenan continent was divided in two.
The king of Guardia named a street in Truce in honour of Sir Crono. They had to change it, because nobody crosses Sir Crono and lives.
The panther demon was going to appear in CT. Sir Crono was the one mauled by the creature at the age of three years old... after three agonizing days of pain... the panther demon died.
-
Sir Glenn once talked to Sir Crono about his troubles with Magus turning him into a frog. To this day, Magus still can't find his sister.
All life begins with Sir Crono and ends with Sir Crono...This is my belief...at least for now!
The planet dreamed of Sir Crono because it knew it was the only dream the Dream Devourer couldn't stomach.
The reason Mother Brain/FATE went insane was because it tried to compute Sir Crono.
-
Yeah, I heard Crono's been to Zeal. What's that? You've never heard of "Zeal"? Exactly.
You know the Moonstone? Apparently it once held so much energy, it shined like the sun. Then Crono found it.
Sir Crono's a hero around these parts. You know, Fiona's Forest is only here because of him! He dropped off some crazy machine, and a few minutes later picked it back up. The Forest was done.
Don't let him near your daughter. He banged the princess in the middle of the Fair. Right in her pendant.
(and a celebrity quote:)
Who the hell is that?
-Toma
-
Don't let him near your daughter. He banged the princess in the middle of the Fair. Right in her pendant.
That's officially a new slang at the Compendium! :lol:

I think I laughed for five straight minutes :lol:

Lol...
.........
.................
Wait, that's not funny... :(
-
Hi, I'm new here! thought i would try some out.
Sir Crono only needed to stretch once he got out of bed so he wouldn't hurt his back saving the world.
Sir Crono helped Robo sell the rights to his theme song to Rick (Roll) Astley.
Frog thought Cyrus was a Great knight, but that was until he met Sir Crono.
Sir Crono has made few mistakes, but one big one was when he beat Magus so bad, he took some of his power away, then let him join the team.
Sir Crono never beat himself up over some things, cause he knew who would win that fight.
Sir Crono never died, he just needed a vacation from world saving.
Sir Crono's look isn't inspired by Sayains, its the other way around.
Lucca didn't paralyze her mom, it was Sir Crono....later the phrase "Once you go Sir Crono, you get paralyzed" became popular
Sir Crono doesn't need to get knighted, Knights need to get Cronoed.
Before the events of Chrono Cross, Sir Crono beat Magus so bad he gave him a new identity: Guile.
Once Guile got his memory back, he put a mask on to hide from Sir Crono.
Legend has it that if you speak to ghost Crono on the beach with Guile, he will say "Round 2 bitch"
( :picardno i need to stop with the Guile jokes...and Crono banged Luccas mom so hard she can't walk? whats wrong with me..)
-
Hey, I did a joke about Gina doing it with Lavos, so there's not much out of place here.
Sir Crono was what drove Queen Zeal crazy; just his presence in the End of Time made his aura reach her and the power made her go bonkers when she had a taste.
Zeal was under the delusion that their kingdom was powered by the sun and by Lavos; Sir Crono finds this laughable, and for good reason.
The reason that Lavos had the balls to come up and destroy Zeal was because he thought that Sir Crono was dead, and even then his doubts made him burrow again, just in case.
-
Sir Crono and Marle did have a child together. The reason this child wasn't in any of the Chrono games was because the power behind this ultimate being was so great, it became a God right then and there.
This God is what led them through their adventures in the first place.
-
Sir Crono can't be defeated and Sir Crono can defeat everyone. One time Sir Crono travelled back in time to see what would happen if he tried to defeat himself.... today we know this event as the Time Crash.
The legend says that when you gaze into the Flame, the Flame gazes back into you. When Sir Crono gazed into the Flame, the Flame went blind.
Zealians found a more efficient way to make their islands float. They tell the islands Sir Crono is coming, in a pathetic attempt to escape, they elevate themselves out of sheer fear.
In El Nido, there're rumors of the "Rainbow", the material used to create the ultimate weapons. "Rainbow" is actually the name given to Sir Crono's concentrated badassness.
Porre did not defeated Guardia. Actually the whole kingdom died out of excitement when they knew Sir Crono was going to be their new King.
Sir Crono spikes his whisky with Hydra Venom.
-
Sir Crono can divide by zero. 'Nuff said.
-
Sir Crono can divide by zero. 'Nuff said.
Sir Crono can dive by zero. With a sword even!
-
Sir Crono can divide by zero. 'Nuff said.
Sir Crono can dive by zero. With a sword even!
("Zero" is the name of his next sword if he ever turns to the dark side.)
Sir Crono knows the secret of alchemy; he turns dead monsters into gold every day.
The Ocean Palace incident was the one time Sir Crono communed with great beast Lavos. He commanded it to destroy rival Zeal so that Guardia could rise, then dispersed himself throughout all spacetime. His supernatural essence is with us even today, better known as the force called magic.
Chrono Break was going to be a special Japan-only release of Chrono Trigger that featured a "Sir Crono" difficulty mode. Needless to say, Square had to cover up the fiasco that resulted from the first playtest of the game and postpone further development indefinitely.
PS: Licawolf, I love you. You have the best facts in this thread. And you're doing so many that it's hard to come up with a good one that you haven't done already.
-
Chrono Trigger DS once had a special ending for the defeat of the Dream Devourer if you beat it with Sir Crono in your party. This ending would have caused Chrono Cross to never have happened in the first place, and realizing the paradox of this, they altered the game. Similar changes include, but are not limited to:
- Sir Crono curing cancer
- Sir Crono turning the world into his own personal sandbox
- Sir Crono uniting the whole world in global peace
-
The Chrono universe is not a creation of the writers at Squaresoft; rather, our own universe is the creation of Sir Crono, and he generously allows us to see what of it we can comprehend.
Megaelixir is the final product of Sir Crono pissing into a bottle.
-
I forgot where I got Sir Crono from specifically, I think either FaustWolf, Thought or Boo coined it, but it occurred to me for the Middle Ages folks Crono wasn't native, and was yet regarded highly in Guardia.
when you recovery the rainbow shell, queen leene refers to crono as "sir crono," though this can apply to any lead character at that moment. Additional reference comes from the kitchen in 1000 ad, after the events at zenan bridge you can order a meal named after crono, though i don't remember if they use "sir" or just "hero from the past" or whatnot. So i dunno about forum references, but at least from my recollection, there is in-game occurrence.
------
Sir Crono defeated the Son of Sun without bothering with the prominent flames.
"The end of time" is called thus as one day, Sir Crono will find his image mirrored in spekkio...
-
Sir Crono can kill what's already dead. Don't believe me? Just ask Zombor... oh right, you can't, can you? That's because he DIED. TWICE.
-
PS: Licawolf, I love you. You have the best facts in this thread. And you're doing so many that it's hard to come up with a good one that you haven't done already.
Thanks :wink: Some of mine are actually based on Neville Longbottom facts (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=3313829083&topic=3006#topic_top) (which are way awesomer than the Chuck Norris facts 8) )
When CT was about to be released, there was big controversy about the rating of the game. It was going to be rated R because Sir Crono's awesomeness was so great it was almost obscene.
If you name all your characters "Sir Crono", you get access to the New Game Plus Plus, with god-like powers.
Sir Crono's last name is BAMF.
It was after Belthazar met Sir Crono in person that he got obsessed with naming "Chrono-" everything.
1999ad is not the date of the apocalypse because of the Day of Lavos, it's because that's the date Sir Crono woke up on the wrong side of the bed...
One day, Lucca got the idea of recording Sir Crono's voice commanding Time and Space to do his will, that's how the Gate Key was created.
Sir Crono decided to appear as a child in Chrono Cross so that Serge would not get discouraged for not being as badass and manly as him.
The reason the game won't allow you to name your character "Crono" in CC is because you'd have won the game instantly.

They make Neville Longbottom facts? I KNEW IT! (Okay, I didn't, but still...) Thank you SO much, Licawolf, for sharing this piece of beauty with me!
The reason Sir Crono never speaks is because the mere act of his vocal chords moving can distort space and time around a single point and obliterate everything in existence. This is why in the ending where Sir Crono DOES talk, all that's there is an empty black space and Sir Crono's woman and best friend.
-
When Sir Crono dances and climbs ladders it looks the same.
To the untrained eye.
-
Sir Crono can defeat even Goompa.
AHAHAHAHA!!! Okay, let's get serious here...
-
The reason Superman only deals with minor criminals like thugs is because you need to be as strong as Sir Crono to deal with foes as mighty as Lavos. Also, he doesn't have a cool sword.
-
Wow I've not seen any based off his insane "F**K the ATB system" Speed so I'll go ahead
1. The Speed at which Sit Crono's ATB bar fills is just a representation of how quickly he's ready for the "next round"
2. The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of Sir Crono
3. Sir Crono's 4 for Confuse Slashes are actually 40,000 slashes, but SE had to make it four cause of sprite and hp limitations.
4. Weegee is scared to have a stare down with Sir Crono
5. All of Sir Crono's Cats are the ones we find on the internet, they are there to request cheeseburgers and cookies for Sir Crono.
O.o wow some of these are lame...ohs well back to some mor Ultimate Tenkaichi.
-
2. The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of Sir Crono
HELL YEAH!
People set off fireworks and set things on fire when come Diwali. But all Sir Crono needs to spread light is LUMINAIRE!
