I've been quite lazy regarding posting new ideas here but, Here are some new Ideas regarding possible general conceptual plotlines for various time periods.

11975 BC: Baby steps to rebuild civilization

7600 BC: Unfinished business/Saving the past/Fighting a great evil/Time Crash.

1 AD: Guiding The Beginning of a new era.

1025 AD: Retaking control/Inspiring the return of freedom.

1999 AD: The present/Saving the Future/Those chosen by fate itself to save the planet

2400 AD: The Future/Cementing the defeat of Lavos/Chronopolis.

Don't really have any ideas for 65 million BC or 600 AD as their story lines had already played out in CT.

Ideas For 1025 AD: When Porre conquered Guardia, the battle culminated in a duel between Dalton and Chrono after which Chrono disappeared. Emperor Dalton Claims to have killed him but he also disappeared soon afterwards. Porre However reveres Dalton and displays an empty throne at the palace the porreans built for Dalton. Marle escaped and continues to fight a bitter guerrilla war in the forest of guardia. The party when they arrive in this era is able to recuit her to the team. However Marle would be a much more cynical and grizzled character in this game idea (more like ayla was). My current idea is that Marle doesn't join the party at first but is recruited later in the game when evidence that chrono may still be alive is found by the heroes.

New ideas for 7600 BC and ties in back to 12000 BC (Part 1 Introduction): New faction apart from the period factions already mentioned: The Eternal Kingdom.

The Eternal Kingdom; A kingdom of sorcerers and demons that once briefly cast a black shadow over the world shortly after the Old Continent was destroyed. According to legend it was destroyed soon afterwards by a team of powerful heroes and it and the fortress that the kingdom resided in was submerged underwater and never heard from again. However not everything as what it seems, for 4400 years the fallen angel who was its queen had secretly surived and has been rebuilding her demonic armies in secret.

Retaining some semblance of the dark psychic connection to the timestream that had been granted to her by the destroyer abomination to which she sold her soul and sacrificed her first kingdom to in order to create the eternal kingdom she knew that significant turbulence of the timestream existed in the period around 7600 BC. The queen also retained her immortality granted by the destroyer but in a wounded state since her defeat by the original heroes all those millennia before. When the Magitek wars broke out and raged throughout the planet during the half century leading up to 7600 BC, the fallen queen accelerated her preparations, knowing that the time to reveal herself and her kingdom was drawing near.

As the Magitek war waged the queen sensed the presence that somehow of a version of one of her children from her former life leading this war for her child's own goals, as well as the coaltion that assembled against her. When the new heroes of time arrived in this era and helped the lord commander of baron (the chosen one of this era) and the great war started to turn against Asteria and her empire. The queen makes her move, revealing herself to Asteria, revealing her secret kingdom to Asteria and pledging it's demonic armies to asteria's empire in exchange for Asteria submitting to the queens Ritual, telling her that she sensed asterias innermost thoughts and she already knows about Asteria's ritual plans and that the Queen's ritual is the correct version of the ritual.

Requests for thoughts on Current ideas, as well as request for beginning thoughts for 1999 AD characters:
I Remember From Chrono Crisis concept that Xavier Ashtear was supposed to somehow have nightmares about lavos even though lavos was supposed to already be defeated and the 1999 AD was supposed to be set some time before the day of Lavos. Request Concept ideas for what kicks off the Main plot (equivalent to when the time accident sent Marle to 600 AD and Chrono and lucca had to follow her in CT).

Dalton and His Plans:

After his defeat by the heroes during the campaign against lavos: Dalton was stranded in 1000 AD, where he plotted his revenge against Crono and his companians. He secretly arrived at porre and began stirring up that region's resentments against guardia. At some point between 1000AD and 1005AD he was rediscovered by King Zeal and Initiated into his plans which he agreed with however he secretly began pursuing his own plans as well.

In 1005AD he lead the Porre campaign in which resulted in the conquest of Guardia which culminated in the duel with Crono after which Crono disappeared, Dalton however claims to have killed him, Marle escaped into the forest to lead a guerilla war against the Porre occupation. Shortly afterwards Dalton left The present/renaissance time period altogether and returned to antiquity where he set up a fortress and group of followers and lead skirmishes with Janus and and the survivors loyal to the Last village and other settlements. These however were inconclusive.

The Arrival of the New heroes of time (Xavier and his party) in antiquity forced a change in Dalton's plans and he abandoned his fortress after several battles with the group. Around this time Dalton became aware of the powerful temporal and magical energy centered around the 7000s BC. Believing Lavos had something to do with it, he informed King Zeal about this as well. Meanwhile Dalton initiated his new plan in which agents loyal to him would secretly undermine the efforts of the Janus's knights of the roundtable in order to eventually create a world order that operated on Dalton's principles of unlimited power. The secret Order of Archpriests which infiltrated various chapters of the Ruling Church during the post-zeal era and after the final collapse of the Church in the late 10th millennium BC, secretly funded the development of terrible weaponry such as magitek power weapons and vehicles, etc. This order seems to have been an original creation of Dalton's. When Asteria assumed power in the kingdom of babel and reorganized into the empire of Midgar which kicked off the great war (this will be described in detail in a later entry) the archpriests were among the first the swear loyalty to her efforts.

Although the order was defeated along with the empire when the New Heroes of Time arrived in the Magitek era and helped the Commander of the Baron Kingsguard (who Later also became lord commander of baron's armed forces and leader of the anti-imperial alliance but this will be discussed in detail later) bring about victory of the nations of the world against the empire. The Remnants of the order of Archpriests continue to corrupt the world from generation to generation, for example it was a humanoid mystic member of order who convinced mystic leader Ozzie to declare war on the Human nations in the late 6th century AD.

New Character Information Ideas: The Commander of the Kingsguard of Baron (Later in the story he becomes lord commander of the Baron armed forces, second to the King).

Cecil Guardia* (Adopted, original surname Debrune) Time period - 7600 BC

A brilliant soldier and Commander who has distinguished himself leading Baron Troops in the war against Asteria, he gradually rose through the ranks due to sheer heroism and courage in battle. He grew up in Guardia village, a small town in the northwestern continent then subject to the Kingdom of Baron, the people of guardia are very pious and contribute funds (derived from the local mine) to the ecclesiastical city of Trucania to the west; they also help contribute manpower to the armies of baron. The Kingsguard of the King of Baron tends to recruit extensively from the inhabitants of Guardia and of the (not shown) surrounding forest

Cecil is not originally from Guardia however, all he knows is that he was adopted and that his Father named Finn and was a commander from the City-state of Turania on the imperial Continent who took up arms against Asteria early in the war and was killed by Asteria. The Rest of his Finn's family was also killed except for Cecil and his Older Sister who were evacuated away by the King of Baron at Finn's request shortly before the battle of Turania. The City of Turania was also destroyed. When he was a teenager, his sister informed him that she was going to travel to look for the secret of how to kill Asteria and that it would be many years before they see each other again, she the departed for parts unknown and Cecil has not heard from her Since (the sister would be another recruitable character). Cecil has made it his life mission that he would not rest until the Empire has been defeated and Asteria has been brought to Justice.

When the New heroes of Time arrive in this time period they quickly learn of the great war and side with the allied forces lead by Baron. They Reunite Cecil with his sister (who has learned several powerful magical abilities along the way) and help with battles that are being fought to prevent Asteria from gaining the Crystals. They Find the Sword of the Oldest of the mystical Sword Spirits, Doreen which is the only weapon forged by man capable of defeating Asteria.

During the course of these battles Cecil learns several fundamental secrets about himself that temporarily creates doubts about his life's mission but presses ahead once Asteria gains control of the crystals through long-range raids on their holdings. After Lakarian City is destroyed by Asteria's new weapon and She also gains control of the sun stone to begin her ritual; Cecil and the heroes of Time leads the remaining allied forces to launch an all out offensive on Midgar, Asteria's Capital. While the allied forces battle the imperials outside the city, the Party slips into the city and reaches and ascends the tower of Babil a massive tower with 66 levels.

When the party reaches the 66th level they confront Asteria; She offers Cecil to betray his companions so that He and his sister can rule at "their rightful place" at her side. Cecil Refuses and the in the final battle Asteria is slain by Cecil wielding the Doreen sword, but before she dies Cecil tells her to order the unconditional surrender of all imperial forces which she does. When Asteria dies however King Zeal and Dalton unexpectedly appear and summons the energy initiated by Asteria's ritual to warp time itself and bring two new lands into this era. After the battle Midgar crumbles into the Ground and the Surrender of the survivors is organized. Cecil Joins the New Heroes of Time in their overall fight against Lavos, King Zeal and Dalton.

When Cecil Returns to his time period he builds a memorial to the war, and in a remote location also builds a small shrine to pray for the rest and redemption for Asteria's soul. He then Returns to Guardia Village and takes his name Guardia as his permanent surname. He Marries his friend Tifa who lives in Guardia and have many descendants.



* Regarding the first name this May Be subject to Change regarding current ideas other proposed names for him so far are Isildur, Cloud, or Paul.


Also Current Ideas for Asteria's Physical appearance; Basically Scarlet from FF7 except her dress is black, Her hair is Blue instead of Blond and she wears gloves with Spikes on her sleeves. She also has a demonic alternate form as well. Due to the strong magical energies that Emanate through her, she looks no older than her early 30s even though she was buried under ancient ruins for thousands of years and has lived since being found for over 60 years. Her personal weapon is a deadly dark whip/dark sword which shapes shifts depending on what she wants it to do. The whip form looks like quistis whip from ff8 except that it is spiked. The sword form resembles sephiroths sword from FF7.

Regarding Cecil: I implied certain things that I've refrained from mentioning outright regarding Cecil and His sisters backstory. Another implication is Cecil's Connection to all future time periods that include Guardia.

It's been a couple years since I posted here so I try to revive this topic by posting new concept ideas.

Regarding the guardia line and time periods theirs relevance are as follows:

7600 BC = start of guardia line

1 AD = start of Guardia Kingdom.
