Serge (Radical Dreamers)

Articles About Serge
Versions	Radical Dreamers - Chrono Cross

“	Losing all sense of reality and presence, I become engulfed in this realm, drifting aimlessly through the ages... The world flows, time dissolves, and people live and die... I can see it all within this mysterious ocean... The origin of time... Every one of life's tranquillities is here... I can see myself as a baby, crying at my mother's side, where she gives a warm, proud grin... I can see myself as an old man, softly smiling, knowing that death will come soon. Infinite versions of myself extend like ghosts throughout this endless corridor of time... Everywhere I look, I see another life, another era... In this unfolded existence, I see countless lives, and countless dreams. Resting in eternity, a kind voice calls out to me... A single song... ...Kid! ...Kid!! Can you hear my voice!? ...Kid...!? Answer me, Kid... Please... Kid!? You're here!! I'm here for you, Kid.	„
	~ Serge when he viewed the entirety of history

“	And so, I died...	„
	~ Serge after getting a Game Over

Background

Serge is the leading protagonist and narrator of Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki. Like adolescent protagonists from other stories, Serge tends to be clumsy and outspoken. He has a sincere yet playful crush on Kid, who, as a way of flirting, constantly belittles him about his lack of fighting ability and his proneness to make bad jokes. Serge began his free life as a traveling musician, wandering city to city in a nomadic lifestyle. He wrote many songs, including the one in Riddel's music box, "Distant Promise." Kid implies that it was one of Lucca's favorite lullabies. Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki is an excerpt from Serge's diary, being read by his grandson to the player. While Chrono Cross shows Serge in similar events, this universe's Serge has a different personality, backstory, and set of abilities.

Knowing Kid for several years, Serge agrees to accompany her to Viper Manor to search for the Frozen Flame. Despite Gil's lack of dialogue and overall response to everything, Serge seems to trust him since Kid does.

Atrium

Serge tends to walk into traps often, and he and Kid spring a trap in the Atrium by messing with the fountain in the center, causing it to flood the room and fill it full of Piranhas.

Mouth of Truth

Serge tests the Mouth of Truth by putting Kid's possessions inside of it. Generally, after doing so, Kid will slap him for potentially losing the objects in the statue's throat.

Armory

In the armory, Serge meets Esmeld and inquires about the key to the Catacombs. Esmeld relinquishes the key if Serge tells him a story about a girl and a magical sunflower. This story appears to be an allusion to Kid's life.

Resolution

After being run out of the Manor by Vera and her legion of Porre soldiers, Serge is abandoned by Kid and Gil. Kid claims the soldiers will follow her and not him, so he flees. He escapes unscathed and eventually starts a family with Kid, and ends up with a grandson.

Equipment

• Knife: Serge's main weapon embedded with a jewel that steals souls.

• The Chrono Trigger: Helps in conjuring miracles. During the confrontation with Lynx, the party discovers he has lured them to into Viper Manor to unite the Chrono Trigger with the Frozen Flame. Brutally damaged in the fray, Kid asks Serge if she should give the item to Lynx or refuse. Either way, she breaks the device and sends the party into an alternate dimension, not unlike the End of Time, where she discovers she is the clone daughter of Schala and the meaning of her incarnation. The Chrono Trigger was given to Kid by Lucca, her foster big sister. It is specifically referred to as "Chrono Trigger".

Other

Standard Tactics: Serge's tactics are usually decided by the player which normally revolves around attacking, parrying, defending, and avoiding. Though when he is given the crystal he opens up with summoning.

Weaknesses: The weakest of his trio, can't use his magic properly in fights. Rather in-experienced compared to Kid and Magil having him take far more damage than the two, though he slowly gets better while in the mansion.

Note: It should be noted Serge never uses the Chrono Trigger in character for the things it's done, his viewing of the multiverse's history was through Kid breaking the Chrono Trigger sending her party to another dimension. The same applies to the Book of the Dead as it summons Lilith who will require him to use a soul contract to take more souls.
