Appearance:
Name: Serge
Age: 19
Bio/History:
Canon base: Chrono Cross (The Radical Dreamers VN does not contribute as it seems to be a separate canon entirely.)
Powers/Abilities: Serge is skilled in using a swallow such as his current weapon, the Mastemune, while also being a master White innate skill user.
Dash & Slash - White innate skill, Serge quickly slides forward and slices through the enemy, doing damage.
Luminaire - White innate skill, Serge rises up into the air and causes an explosion of light to hit all enemies on the field. It can cause the status effect Fatigued.
Flying Arrow - White innate skill, Serge flies up into the air as a magical double appears behind him. Serge then launches himself forward and creates a large explosion (hits only a single enemy, most powerful White innate skill.)
Strengths: Serge appears to be the strongest character for the most part of the game, having high end stats no matter what portion of the game he is taken from. He's fairly strong and quick for a human, shown by Dash & Slash where he quickly slices through the enemy.
Weaknesses: However, Serge does have a few weaknesses. One of them is Dark innate skills which counter-balance his White innate skills while also dealing more damage than most skills to him. While the opposite, his White innate skills will do extra damage to enemies with a Dark-innate, is true, that still does not make it easier to avoid the possibility of an earlier death. Along with this, he is still an ordinary human and has no real defense against a heavy-hitter beyond his admittedly high defense stat and his speed. Therefore, he has to watch out for things such as being crushed, stabbed, or simply being punched to death.
Personality: Serge is shown to be a quiet individual, rarely speaking beyond what is needed and mostly using gestures to explain himself. He tends to prove to be optimistic, pushing on with his quest no matter what obstacle comes before him.
Family/Friends: Kid (wife, became trusted friends and allies during the game and married after the end), Leena (childhood friend), Glenn (met during his quest, friends).
Animal Spirit: Pacific Swallow

Name: Serge
Age: 19
Bio/History:
Serge's existence is a contradiction between the dimensions, which is the basis for much of the philosophical discourse inChrono Cross. Born to Marge and Wazuki of the fishing village ofArni in the El Nido Archipelago, Serge had a storied history with the world since before he knew how to write. At the tender age of three years old, he came into contact with the Frozen Flame as a result of his father Wazuki's desperation to heal his son after he had been mauled by a panther demon. The contact healed him and designated him as its Arbiter, or controller. This caused the Frozen Flame to be unusable by the supercomputer FATE due to the Prometheus Circuit. Due to its obviously advanced technology, FATE had no problem binding both Miguel, a friend of Serge's father, and eventually Wazuki himself into cruel servitude. For the time being, however, Serge escaped unharmed with Wazuki, who was only mildly corrupted by the computer. Back in Arni, Serge became good friends with Leena, Miguel's daughter, and the other inhabitants of the village, who took interest in watching him grow. Forces beyond his control would soon threaten his life again, however.

Four years later, Serge nearly drowned at Opassa Beach. His father -- whose mind was completely corrupted by to FATE and became it's vessel/avatar -- was instructed to drown Serge to release the lock on the Flame. Wazuki attempted to accomplish the feat, but Kid traveled back in time to 1010 A.D. and stopped him. The attempt on his own son's life corrupted Wazuki fully; he was recalled to Chronopolisand reshaped as Lynx. Serge only caught a glimpse of his savior before returning to the village. In time traveling, Kid effectively split the dimensions; the one in which Serge lived came to be known as the Home World. As a result of the destruction ofHome World's version of Chronopolis, the Record of Fate terminals in that dimension ceased to function, which was something FATE could not allow. Therefore, the computer concocted an elaborate plan to get Serge to unlock the Flame by stealing his body and fooling the Flame into thinking that the Serge facing it was genuine, instead of merely Lynx inhabiting Serge's body. The computer predicted that Serge would one day use the split he had created to cross the dimensions. This was fulfilled ten years later in 1020 A.D.; Serge began the fateful day by collectingKomodo Scales for Leena. After a talk with her on the beach about old times and a promise they made to each other, a huge wave rolled in and crashed upon the boy. He had successfully crossed over to Another World. When this occurred, Serge was confronted by a squad of Acacia Dragoons, Solt and Peppor, under Deva Karsh, but was saved by Kid. He managed to discover his death in this world, so he set out to figure out why this was true, and why the Dragoons were trying to capture him.
Serge transports to Another World.
Kid had befriended Serge on Cape Howl, and the two traveled to Termina, where they found a third person (the player can choose between Guile, Pierre, and Nikki) willing to infiltrate Viper Manor with them. During the night's events, Lynx confronted Serge, calling him the "Chrono Trigger" and attempting to capture him. Serge dove over the balcony to the sea with the others, and was taken to Guldovefor treatment. There, Kid's illness caused him to make a decision -- whether to look for Hydra Humour, the required panacea, or simply continue on his journey. If you choose to continue your journey, Macha, Doc, and Glenn will join your party. If you choose to save Kid, Korcha, Mel, and Razzly will join your party. Whatever the case, he soon discovered that the Acacia Dragoons were amassing at Fort Dragonia. He consulted old man Radius for advice, and found that to cross Mount Pyre, he required the Ice Breath of the Water Dragon. While attempting to dock at the bank of Pyre, he was captured by Fargo and thrown in the hold of the S.S. Invincible. He later won the pirate's respect by defeating the Ghost Ship invaders, and sojourned to the top of Fort Dragonia. However, Lynx initiated a Dragonian ritual with theDragon Tear and switched bodies with Serge, leaving him in the body of a pantherDemi-human. He was then banished to the Temporal Vortex, only escaping withHarle's help.
Serge in an FMV
Left with no option but to seek out Lynx, who was on his way to Chronopolis, Serge explored his options and made new friends as his former party members dispersed throughout El Nido. He concluded that he would need to go to the Dead Sea to regain the power to cross the dimensions and reach Another World; to this end, he sought out the Sage of Marbule, who awarded him the Fiddler Crab upon being defeated. In the Dead Sea, Serge met Miguel who revealed much about his history and also challenged him. Serge reluctantly finished off Leena's father; the Dead Sea then collapsed in an attempt to destroy Home World's Frozen Flame and kill Serge in one fell swoop. The Sky Dragon saved Serge, who soon learned that to enter the Sea of Eden in Another World, he would need to regain his body. He borrowed the Dragon Tear of Home World and defeated the six Dragons to obtain their blessings to allow passage into the Sea of Eden. With his real body returned to him, Serge used his endowed power to break into Chronopolis and confront Lynx, who explained why he needed Serge's body. He defeated the supercomputer FATE in mortal combat, only to discover that he'd been duped by the Dragon Gods, who took the Flame for themselves. Upon chasing them, he learned of Lavos' new form, the Time Devourer. Using an anti-gravity device, he used Korcha's boat to rise to Terra Tower and defeat theDragon God. He then returned to Opassa Beach, where the Ghost Children revealed his unknown history.

Project Kid's entire purpose was to endow Serge with the necessary artifact, the Chrono Cross, and the required power to free Schala from the Time Devourer. Everything, including the split of the dimensions, was predestined to bring Serge to that one point in time. The decision to save the world was then ultimately left in Serge's hands, along with a Time Egg that could take him to the Darkness Beyond Time. In the end, with Belthasar's aid, Serge was victorious over the monster, restoring the two divergent timelines into one unified timeline where Serge lived, Schala was rescued, and Lavos was destroyed. Serge supposedly lost his entire memory of the ordeal, but upon waking up on Opassa Beach at a point in time immediately before he traversed to the other world, he said something to Leena about Terra Tower and FATE. It is thus uncertain how much of his memory truly remains, or what the fate of the other characters in Serge's party turned out to be -- or certain characters from the original game, for that matter.
In a picture shown at the end by Schala's diary, one can see a photo of Serge in clothing similar to a tuxedo and Kid in what is similar to a wedding dress to indicate the two got married.
