CT Flash Series: Crono's Personality! We need your opinion!!
« on: January 17, 2006, 01:31:52 am »
Recently within the Flash Series Forum, me and Luminaire85 have been thinking of how to approach Crono's personality in the Flash. This is a critical part of the project, and we were thinking it would be nice if YOU as a member of the Compendium would like to put your opinion as to how Crono should talk!

And please, nothing too stupid...though all opinions will be taken into account...

Well, an emo, witty asshole personality has already been done by CTU, so I'd probably go for...I dunno, whatever he seems like based on his one line in the extra ending. Kinda matter-of-fact and no-nonsense, but still somewhat comical. *shrug*

It is hard to define Crono's personality.  The only things to go by are his actions, other characters' reactions to him, and what few ways he expresses himself.

Based on his actions in the game, Crono is brave to the point of being suicidal.  I mean, he must have nerves of steel and brass balls to match.

Crono genuinely cares about his friends.  This is a given.

Crono is playful, evident from his flirting with Marle (dancing, etc.).  I think he would have a lighthearted sense of humour, rather than a dry, sarcastic wit.

If you look at Crono's victory animation, it suggests he has a youthful spirit.  Also, Crono has a punk hairdo and he always has a smirk on his face in the official artwork.  This leads me to believe that he really is a punk teenager.

Whether or not Crono speaks, he appears to consider his responses carefully, rather than mouthing off.

As Mystik3eb said, I also think Crono is honest and straitforward.

Think Luke Skywalker.  He's stable, albeit with a few issues, but he likes to enjoy life, and he stands up for what's right no matter what the odds are.

Damn. I know exactly the personality type that'd fit him...just like a friend of mine in my first year of college. But I haven't got the time to put it together succinctly. Smart, but humble...quick to acknowledge his limitations. Happy-spirited, but sincere--in other words, not a goof off--and prone to those stone-faced "don't fuck with me" moments when things get serious. Quite interested in being talented, therefore in pursuit of many hobbies, yet not truly an expert at any of them. Quick with a joke, but not that bathroom humor that dominates the scene among people his age. A very imposing presence, despite the laid-back style. Not self-absorbed at all. Honorable to a flaw; fanatically devoted to the things he cares about; etc., etc. Most of this stuff is pretty obvious by his conduct in the game, but some of it I take with a degree of artistic license. Maybe it will help you in your efforts.

But please, no more smart-assed pimps or "Fighter"-style idiots. It's been done.

Sort of a typical fiery young hero-warrior. He's better as a doer of deeds, rather than as a speaker of words, so he usually keeps quiet so as not to seem a fool. However, as brave as he is in action, he's often foolhardy, often acting downright silly in trivial situations, and in battle often showing far too much bravado. He really has no idea what he's doing: he's no trained warrior; he's a child. Interestingly, however, he seems to be fortune's favoured, and usually gets through everything just fine. A do-first think-later, happy go lucky sort of mentality that seems to work... most of the time (cf. Ocean Palace). I'd imagine, in the face of certain death, he'd just say 'oh, what the hell; I've only got one life', and jump into the fray... and come out on top simply by his careless attitude. Fortune favours the brave, and that holds very much true for him.

I imagine Crono's personality would change somewhat over the course of his journey.

That's a good point. It might be sharper than the resolution of the Flash Series, though...

I've always pictured Crono with a bright attitude. Your normal hero that's good and stands up for what he believes in, he also seems to have a comical side from the mangas I've read regarding him. So I'd categorize Crono as the nice guy who knows how to kick ass.

Well, it's VERY hard to consider Crono's personality when most of the actions that would define it are controled by the person playing him in the game! I mean, return the girls cat or not, eat the mans lunch, charge the woman for the beef jerky, return the pendant? But, for the heck of it I'll give it my go.

I'd see Crono as curious, strong, a bit pig-headed but loyal. Definatly foolish and a bit too brave for his own good (specially when it comes to big ol' malfuntioning tele-whatsit machines). Oh, and when he feels like it laaazzzyyyyyyy.

A hearty thank you to everyone who responded. If anyone else has ideas about Crono's personality, the Flash series in general, or wants to get involved  :wink:, feel free to let one of us know!

As the Flash series is not a spoof, you do not have to worry about that.
