Characters, Plot, and Themes / Crono's Bloodline
« on: December 01, 2015, 03:00:49 pm »
What's up, everyone.  So, I've finally registered here having been a shadow-member for years, and I wanted to put forth a theory I've had for quite awhile.  It has to do with Crono and exactly who his ancestors were.

Clearly we never got to meet his father and no one else seems to be related to him canonically from what I've found, but I postulate that he may be a descendant of Cyrus.

In the flashback just before Frog splits the entrance to the Magic Cave in half, we see Glenn getting picked on in Guardia Forest and Cyrus comes to his rescue.  Granted, he's a generic sprite for this scene, but we can glean a few things from it still.  I would assume he's around the same age as Crono is throughout CT in this scene.  He has red hair and is even wearing the same color tunic.

Later, we see him on Zenan Bridge, probably the most iconic sprite of Cyrus simply because it's unique.  His hair is less red, but it's spiked up and he's wearing a headband.  As far as I can remember, he and Crono are the only ones to use this motif within the game.

Another example is his character art, but we don't have a lot to work with here because of all the armor.  He DOES appear to have blue eyes and his face resembles Crono's.  Then again, that could just be Akira's art style and a lot of the male characters look similar.  I imagine he still has spiky hair under that helmet, though.

Other evidence includes the fact that they're both swordsmen and both presumably from Truce.  Nothing was ever mentioned about Cyrus having a wife or family, however I would assume he did considering his likely age at this point.  Although, a counter to this argument would be that if he DID have a family, chances are we would have met them at some point.

And I also think Frog almost immediately taking a liking to Crono might have to do with his resemblance to his old buddy.  That's a bit of a stretch, though, I suppose.

It's not a perfect theory, but it's just something I've had in my brain-pan for a long while.  Let me know what you guys think!   
Also, I'm super proud to finally be a part of this site officially and not just in the shadows.  Looking forward to it!
