Fandom Overview: Chrono Crusade (plain version)

This is the plain version of my fandom overview for crack_van

Chrono Crusade is an eight volume manga and twenty four episode anime by Daisuke Moriyama. The setting is America during the late 1920s, and chronicles the adventures of Rosette Christopher, a fifteen year old exorcist of the Magdalen Order, and her demon partner Chrono. The basic plot of Chrono Crusade is that Rosette and Chrono have spent the past four years with the Order trying to locate Rosette's brother Joshua, who was kidnapped by another demon, Aion. The basic plot complication is that both Rosette and Chrono are living on borrowed time; Chrono's horns, which are what supply him with "astral energy" were broken off by Aion in a fight that occurred fifty years previous to the story. Since a demon will eventually die without horns, Chrono uses the energy produced by Rosette's soul. The symbol of their contract, and the device that keeps Chrono from draining Rosette too quickly is a pocket watch that ticks off the amount of time Rosette has left.

Joshua it turns out is an Apostle, a human gifted with powers beyond those of ordinary humans, among them the powers to heal and to manipulate the Astral Line, the river of life from which all souls are born and eventually return when they die. Aion is seeking out Apostles for some unknown reason, and part of the adventure involves finding out what Aion is up to, and then finding a way to stop him.

The Manga: The manga has a more science fiction feel to it. The strong science fiction elements come into play as it's revealed that the demons are actually very powerful aliens whose ship had crashed ten thousand years ago. The concepts are basically steampunk combined with nanotech, and the villain's master plan involves a Gray Goo apocalypse.

The Anime: The anime took a more traditional supernatural approach. It's just as enjoyable in it's own way as the manga (though most fans will say the manga is better) but it follows the more standard "heroes averting the apocalypse" formula. In the anime, Aion has cast himself as the Anti-Christ, and is trying to rewrite the apocalypse, and make "Earth into Heaven, and Heaven into Earth."

Why you should read: Both series are terrific adventure stories that pull you right into the story. The characters are fun and engaging, and the art is amazing. The themes of friendship and family (and righting the wrongs committed by family members) add to the quest/adventure aspects of the series, and the humorous moments are well timed, taking off some of the tension from the building action.

The Characters Several characters have slightly different back stories, personalities and motivations between between the anime and the manga.

The Good Guys

Chrono: Before Chrono left the other Sinners, he was Aion's second in command and closest friend. He broke away from the Sinners after Aion ordered him to kill Mary Magdalene. After a fight with Aion (which he lost) he escaped with Mary. (In the anime, Mary dies shortly after making a contract with Chrono, sacrificing her life so he can heal himself. In the manga, she's killed by Aion.) In mourning at the loss of Mary, Chrono allows himself to be sealed in her tomb. Rosette and Joshua discover the tomb fifty years later, and break the seal. Chrono, now in the form of a young boy, ends up being befriended by Rosette and Joshua.

Chrono is brave, kind and thoughtful. He also has a temper that generally appears whenever Rosette or someone he cares about is threatened. He has a gently sarcastic sense of humor and is the only one who can get Rosette to exercise some restraint. (Though not always.)

Rosette Christopher: Rosette is an at times tomboyish girl with a short temper and fierce determination. She has a tendency to stick her foot in her mouth (up to her knee at times,) but she's also very kind hearted, compassionate person. Her missions while successful also tend to be very very destructive of property, and she has absolutely terrible luck with cars (which tend to get destroyed). In the anime, it turns out that she's also an Apostle. Stigmata appear (which Aion claims to have caused). Aion awakens her powers during a ritual called "The Rite of Atonement" and uses her to create massive riots through out the U.S., starting with San Francisco. In the manga, she doesn't have any powers beyond sheer stubborness and willpower.

Azmaria Hendric: Azmaria Hendric is a twelve year old girl with the power to heal many people at once when she sings. She is a very shy, timid girl who is afraid of her powers because they've been the cause of a great deal of grief for her. Shortly after they manifested, her parents died, and she was shifted from relative to relative until she ended up with an orchestra. The orchestra became something of a surrogate family for her, until she was adopted by Ricardo Hendric, a rich casino owner...who turns out to be a sorcerer and Devil Master. The sorcerer has the orchestra killed, but Azmaria doesn't find that out until later. Rosette and Chrono are the team given the job of rescuing Azmaria from the sorcerer.

In the anime, Ricardo is trying to restore his body, which is rotting from the inside out because he was killed during a bombing, and his demon familiar put him back together, though the demon wasn't able to completely heal him, so he "lacks the spark of life." In the manga he has the slightly more noble but still fecked in the head intention of bringing his wife Melda back to life. Melda had died in a bombing during the war, but Ricardo and his demon familiar Lerijie were able to regrow her body from a finger that been recovered. Hendric acquired Azmaria, because he believed her power could restore Melda's soul. In both the anime and manga it turns out that the entire thing was a trick by Lerijie, so he could steal some of Azmaria's power and break the spells of binding placed on him by Ricardo.

Satella Harvenheit: Satella is a gem-summoner. Her powers summon spirits kept inside gem stones. She's independantly wealthy, and came from a well to do family, but works as a bounty hunter to help fund her search for her sister, and the demon that massacred her family when she was a little girl. The only information she had to go on was that the demon had no horns. She's a good and loyal friend, and despite a very tough outward attitude, she's a very kind hearted person. She meets up with Chrono and Rosette after totalling Rosette's car in the manga, and after rescuing Azmaria from a monster in the anime (and totalling Rosette's car). In the anime she is very self-righteous and is continually suspicious of Chrono despite having it confirmed that Chrono is not the "demon without horns" she is looking for. In the manga she's much more accepting of Chrono, and even teases him, much too Rosette's irritation.

The Sinners

The original "Sinners" are Aion, Chrono, Genai, Viede, Shader and Rizelle. Chrono ended up leaving after Aion commanded him to kill Mary Magdalene, an Apostle with great power. The other demons name them "Sinners" after they kill Pandaemonium, and flee to the surface world.

Aion: Aion is the charismatic "king" of the Sinners. He is extremely proud, determined, and utterly ruthless in his goals. He plans very far ahead, and is more than willing to sacrifice himself (as well as anyone else) for his cause. In the anime he's more of a stock character--the lustful and seductive Anti-Christ figure--than in the manga.

In the manga a sense of humor emerges, and he is more of an anarchist than anything else. He has no tolerance for hypocrisy or self deception, and is absolutely driven by the goals of destroying Pandaemonium, and human civilization, which he regards as limiting to personal freedom.

Rizelle: Rizelle is a kind of demon referred to as a "puppet master." Her ability is to possess people using tiny spiders she's linked to. She was badly wounded in a battle with Pandaemonium, and as a result is permanently crippled. She has a crush on Aion which isn't returned. This makes her extremely jealous of just about anyone Aion seems to like, and eventually extremely mentally unstable.

Genai: Genai doesn't seem to like anyone very much, except for Rizelle. Like Rizelle, he was badly wounded during an attack from Pandaemonium, and as a result lost his eyes.

Viede: Viede is a very quiet character, and not very much is shown of him. He seems to work as Genai's partner.

Shader: Shader is the cheerful engineer/doctor of the party. She's often childish and hyper, but also has a compassionate caring side that comes out at times. In the manga this is more apparent than the anime, where she's more of a stock humor/villain character.

Joshua Christopher: Joshua was given Chrono's horns by Aion, which made him even more powerful, but also mentally unstable because of "the noise" he hears from the horns at times. Before getting the horns, his primary ability was to heal one person at a time, though he wasn't able to heal his own illness. He's very loyal to Aion, and to a certain extent, supports Aion's goals. In the anime, Joshua is more out of it and unstable, and never fully recovers after Chrono tears off the horns during a battle. In the manga, he eventually comes to his senses and tears off Chrono's horns himself.

Fiore: Fiore is a "doll" created from the body of Florette Harvenheit, Satella's sister whom Aion kidnapped after massacring most of her family. She acts as Joshua's caretaker, and is loyal and kind, and has a very dry sense of humor. In the anime, she and Satella die after Fiore appears to regain her memories of being Florette. In the manga, she and her sister Satella are frozen inside of a gem until revived under mysterious circumstances.

Supporting Characters/Minor Characters

Mary Magdalene: Mary was an apostle with the power of precognition and clairvoyance. She was so powerful that the Magdalen Order kept her cloistered most of her life to keep her protected from people who might use her power for their own purposes. When Chrono is sent by Aion to kidnap her, she goes along willingly, and even aids in their escape. In the anime, Mary has stigmata, and is a "decoy" sent to ruin Aion's plans.

In the manga, Mary is acquired by Aion to locate Pandaemonium's head, which was lost during the Sinner's escape from Pandaemonium. (If this sounds confusing, Pandaemonium is both the name of the demon world, and of it's ruler.) At some point the head revives, makes itself a new body and attacks the Sinners. During the attack Mary attempts to aid the Sinners, and ends up absorbing Pandaemonium's memories. TThis alarms Aion when he finds out, and he commands Chrono to kill her because "she doesn't have long to live as Mary," meaning that Pandaemonium will eventually take over completely. Chrono refuses, and the resulting battle is nearly fatal, but Mary makes a contract with him, and gives him her life energy so he can heal himself.

Sister Kate: Sister Kate is the head of the New York branch of the Magdalen Order. She's strict and very tough, and is often exasperated by the disasters Rosette and her partner have gotten into. She's reluctant to trust Chrono because of his nature, but puts up with him on the word of Ewan.

Ewan Remington: Ewan Remington is the minister responsible for bringing Rosette and Chrono into the Order after Joshua is kidnapped. He's a member of the Order's Militia, and has a connection with Chrono--fifty years previously, he failed to keep Chrono from kidnapping Mary Magdalene. In the manga, his life was extended by an experiment that infused his body with Legion, the basic cell-like structure that demons are made of. In the anime he's some kind of angel.

Elder: Your stock anime dirty old man. The dirty old man routine is somewhat mitigated by Elder having some genuine moments of wisdom and kindness. He's the gunsmith/engineer of the order, and is something of a mad scientist/inventor.

Father Gilliam: Gilliam is a member of the Order Militia connected to the Chicago branch, he and his fellow operatives are instrumental in helping track down and fight the Sinners.

Mary, Anne, and Claire: Only named in the anime, they're friends of Rosette at the Order. They tend to tease her a great deal for her friendship with Chrono, and for her infamous missions.

Duke Duffau: The duke is the foremost general of the armies of Pandaemonium, and is regarded (by Chrono at least) as "the best of the best." He is also the leader of the "Pursuers" who have been attempting to find the Sinners for the past fifty five years. In the manga, he's defeated through a very arrogant assumption he makes, and is killed by Aion. In the anime he has a larger part to play--he makes a brief, ill-fated alliance with Rosette Christopher and the Magdalen Order to fight the Sinners. In the anime he also dies, though this time he's killed by Rosette after he tries to rescue her from Aion/stop Aion from whatever it is he's planning to do with her.

One of The Saddest Happy Endings EVER

The Manga: In the manga, Aion is nearly successful in blowing up Pandaemonium, but is stopped by Chrono. The final, climactic battle results in Pandaemonium blowing up above the atmosphere, creating a dust ring. Rosette is left behind, but believes that Chrono will somehow return, because that was what he had promised before going off to fight Aion. The problem is that Rosette's time is nearly up--she's going to die, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. In the epilog, we discover that the story is being told to Satella, who has been revived in the year 1999. Satella visits Rosette's grave, and is told by Azmaria's grandson that despite Rosette's grave never being listed, there are always flowers on her grave. The scene pulls back, and we see Fiore and Shader, which suggests that at least one of the Sinners survived. The very final scene is Rosette seeing Chrono, just before her last, fatal attack.

The Anime: In the anime, Aion successfully turns Rosette into "The Saint" and commences causing havoc by convincing people to riot. Chrono's first encounters with the transformed Rosette and Aion are extremely unsuccessful because Rosette and Aion are too powerful a combination, for him to face, since he has no power at the moment. The final battle takes place in Central Park. Rosette tries to kill Chrono, but is distracted from her goal when the final stigmata appears, and she drops to the ground, cured of whatever spell Aion had her under. She uses most of her time to heal Chrono, and there's a final battle between Aion and Chrono. Chrono defeats Aion. After the battle, both Rosette and Chrono disappear.

The last scene for Rosette and Chrono occurs six months later; Rosette and Chrono are living together in a small, extremely run down farm house. The clock is ticking down to the last few minutes, and Chrono and Rosette die together while the sun goes down. Later scenes show Joshua, telling stories and drawing pictures about people he doesn't really remember, and Rosette's friends dealing with her and Chrono's death. The very last scene, in true "Apocalypse" horror movie tradition, shows Aion, or at least his spirit, still around and apparently working on some new plan of prophecy subversion.

The Stories:Most of the stories revolve around Rosette and Chrono, which is the major pairing of the fandom. Another popular pairing (which usually appears in tandem with Chrono/Rosette) is Joshua/Azmaria. The major slash pairing is Aion/Chrono, but there's very little fic for it (since there is very little slash for this fandom, this explains why it's the major pairing). The majority of the stories tend to be continuations of either (or both) anime and manga, which usually involve re-writes of the canon ending. There are a great many AUs, which usually tend to be of the High School AU variety.

Resources: Sadly, there aren't a lot of resources for this fandom. It's small and relatively obscure, one of those fandoms that has a few really enthusiastic fans, but very few readers or writers.

Random Things Which Are Random

--I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for some new fitted sheets. I also bought a throw, and mattress pad. (I tried Sears first, but they only had sheet sets.)

--I'm going to be doing Chrono Crusade recs for crack_van. I'm working on the overview, and I've picked what stories I'm going to rec. I've also made character pictures for all the characters I'm talking about. I have a feeling I'm going to be saying "charming despite the typos" and "wonderful despite the canon fail and Fan Japanese" a lot.

--It's probably horribly arrogant to state that I lower my standards when reading a particular fandom...Except that it's true.

--What I love about this pic of Lil!Aion and Lil!Chrono:


It looks like Chrono's been told to keep an eye on his brother...and Aion looks like a kid who you need to keep an eye on.

Seasoning fail.

The paprika and the cayenne are fairly close in color, and both bottles have green caps. Guess which one ended up on my mashed potatoes?

Verdict: Not bad actually, but a bit of a surprise.

(Now would be the time for someone to point out that some varieties of paprika are hot.)

Turkey Day, Complete with Turkey...

Jailbird Cousin and ^*Conservative Cliche Cousin were there. I was not sufficiently warned, probably because they knew I wouldn't show if he was there. (Or not. they have Convenient Amnesia about why I totally hate JC and CCC.) Mom overheated the turkey BrotherCat spent long hours marinading and cooking, and ended up making Cajun Blackened Korean Barbecue Turkey. The turkey ended up being a little dry, but was still good. I left as early as possible, as I couldn't manage to be civilized, or interested in the conversations.







^{*She's on disability, and she's currently pregnant with her fourth child. This would technically make her the dreaded Welfare Mom of conservative myth. I find this amusing considering the political leanings of the fam.}

O RLY? You're Going to be a Published Writer?

Would you believe that a fanfic writer was going to be published when:

1. They can't keep their canon straight.
2. They can't keep their fanon straight, or remember which characters are doing what. And they are possibly riffing off of your fanon, but Doing it Wrong.
3. Their writing is full of anachronisms.
4. They promote their books which are supposed to be coming out in 2009, and they name the publishing company?

The last is is what really makes me go: O_o

I was under the impression that most publishers wouldn't approve of something like that--too easy for accusations of plagiarism or creative co-opting or whatever.

Stupid goddamn warranty people...

...The next time vehicle warranty people call me, I'm saying the make and model of my car is "A 1924 Pandaemonium, its model number is 666A-I-O-N"

Foodish: Operation Salmon Cakes

Using two different recipes and halving the ingredients, I was able to make salmon cakes!

2 yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup bread crumbs
dash of cayenne pepper
1 8 oz packet of salmon
salt
two cloves garlic
1 egg
butter for frying

Boiled the potatoes, and mashed them in a bowl. Added salmon, salt, bread crumbs, garlic, waited a bit until the potatoes were cool enough before adding the egg, mixed it all together, and started to melt the butter in the frying pan. I made four patties and fried them in the butter until they were golden brown on both sides.

They came out pretty good, but next time I think I'll put in two eggs.

The side was rice with garlic, onion, butter salt and shredded gouda from Sprouts.

Writing Meme!

Yes I've done this before. With differing levels of success. :P

Give me (at least) two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

Or give me a prompt.

Random Bookish Twitch

Re-reading The Scourge of God and I'm wondering what Stirling has against Steven Brust because one of the major "holy books" of the Scary Influenced by Demons and the Unabomber is a book called The Book of ^*Dzur. I'm also wondering how you could get anything resembling "prayers" from any of the Vlad Taltos series. The closest Vlad comes to spiritual is when he's talking about food/cooking.

The Sekrit Rools of the Dragonriders of Pern

I mock because I love. Dragonriders of Pern was one of the first sf series I read when I was a kid. It was only much later that I realized how brain-breaky the series could be. (I personally think that the first two are great, and I still kind of like the Harperhall trilogy.) Feel free to add a few rules of your own!

1. Dragon colors=hanky code

2. Sometimes, when you're afraid your dragon going into heat will compromise your virtue, having your virtue compromised is just what you need!

3. It's okay to be a bitch/sociopathic killer/ have other personality defects--as long as you're the heroine.

4. Bronzes fly golds, browns fly greens (and occasionally golds), and blues are apparently perpetually blue-balled.

5. Male green riders are fem, and female green riders are bitches butch--whether or not they're actually straight.

6. Herdbeasts: when "cow," "goat," "sheep" and "pig" would be much simpler to say/visualize.

7. Dragons are very good judges of character--except when they really, really aren't.

8. Religion is bad/wrong/devisive! And does not exist on Pern! (Let's just ignore the reverence/fear of dragons and their riders, plzkthnx, and all the other ways people decide to be divided there.)

9. The hero of the piece is teh hero, even when he's rather surprised that the heroine was a virgin considering she was a drudge.

10. The heroine will only have Mental Powers as long as it's convenient for the writer that she have them.

11. Promiscuity is okay, unless you're subbing for ^*Meron.



^{* I akshully agree with this one. Kylara if you wanted teh kinky, you should have talked to T'bor about it!}

So Far...

Most of my Sekrit Rools for Dragonriders of Pern appear to be sex-related. *amused*

Yeah, Not So Much With the Agreeing Here...

There is no (polite) way to say "Thank you, I now want to kick someone in the throat."

Person posts one of those "political opinion pass it on," type e-mails. This one was a little parable where numbnuts narrator decides to not tip a waiter wearing an Obama pin, to teach them a valuable lesson in asshattery why it's bad and wrong to "redistribute wealth".

Also, Hodgell apparently has an LJ.

I still need Fullmetal Icons.

For some reason, Harper in the Change Verse came to mind--but I don't think I could do that to him. Xander now, Xander I could do that too.

I am feeling very hate the world right now, slightly because some fanbrat wrote a slash story where the characters used "queer" and "gay" to mean "stupid" and the fanbrat justified this by saying "Well [character] is queer, and people just talk like that."

Also, I wish would-be fanfic writers would read actual books and stories so they would get an inkling of what real, actual prose looks like. It might cut down on the really idiotic "Paraphrase the point from canon where you're taking the story," the intertext notes and the really clunky "run on and detail every single thing the character did from walking the dog to making dinner to brushing his teeth after meals without a single segue or scene beak."

Though in the case of the book-based fandoms, not even that really seems to help.

I STILL totally need to do a Sekrit Rools of Pern

In Which Bookish OtherCats are MORONS

So, instead of going to bed like I was planning to when I signed off around nine-ish, I decided to read Scourge of God (Latest in Stirling's Change series.) ...and the goddamn book ate my brains and I didn't stop reading until I ran out of pages. At 12:30 am. When I had to get up for work at 3:30 am, so I could make breakfast and go to work.

Also, I hate that Stirling decided to make the Quest Motif more realistic by [spoilery]. Also, I may have to re-read it because he kind of left us hanging in relation to [spoilery].

*growls*

Also, I repeat, people who are basically batshit have no right pointing fingers at someone who is batshit in a slightly different way. Granted it's a very human thing to do, but still, NO RIGHT.

In workish news, I seem to be very good at paper work. I just wish my coworkers were also very good at paper work. *headdesk* I spend most of my time correcting their times, or trying to READ their really really bad writing. (I should point out that I likewise had a great deal of trouble figuring out how to calculate minutes, at least until I realized that it was basically just Order of Operations. For instance 10:30 to 1:45 is 3x60-30+45=195 minutes. )

Waaah!

Fandom: Dante Valentine
Pairing: Japhrimal/Dante


Tracking down criminals is simple compared to figuring out your teenaged daughter. "This conversation is NOT over!" I shouted.

"Yes it is!" She shouted back, and slammed upstairs to her room as if hellhounds were after her.

The demon who hadn't said a word during the conversation, stepped over and put an arm around my shoulder. I didn't shrug him off. "She is having a difficult time," Japhrimal said.

"Yeah well, I'm having a difficult time too," I growled. "Dammit, what the hell does she think she's doing? I'd already picked a career by the time I was her age."

"It's true that she isn't as driven--but perhaps she doesn't need to be." Japhrimal's tone was suspiciously mild and collected, as if he were trying very hard not to laugh at me. Bastard. "After all," he continued, "she has us to look after her. I will go speak to her."

"Good, you do that, she actually listens to you," I said.

Japhrimal smiled. "Let's say that I have had practice with females having a difficult phase of growth." He headed upstairs after my daughter.

I glared at his back. "You want to explain what you mean by that?"

"No."

-----

I'm sorry, but the only thing that makes Dante's actions make ANY sense through a lot of the series is that she's going through the equivalent of puberty for demons.

Sometimes...

I'm extremely amused by my own writing:

The Queen flushed red, and much to my surprise, sat back down. "Dammit Ewan, she's just a kid!"

"So were you," Ewan pointed out. "In fact, you were even younger than she is now."

"That's different, I had Chrono!" The Queen shot back. "He kept me out of trouble!"

"When exactly was I ever able to do that?" Chrono asked.

"Lots of times," The Queen said. "Think of what it would have been like if you *hadn't* been there."

"Now that *is* a frightening thought," Ewan said teasingly.

Goddamn Troll...

There is a very persistent troll on scans_daily So far I've seen three posts from it. Hopefully the mods will get rid of it soon. (SD does have mods, yes??)

ETA: Hm. Looks like the mods have already jumped on it.

Bookish: Lillith Saintcrow's Jill Kismet books...

Jill Kismet isn't half as interesting as Dante Valentine. Also, we knew that the Hot Male Werewolf from the Sticks was going to end up in a relationship with Jill the moment he appeared. At least with the Dante Valentine books, the relationship didn't feel quite so thrown together.

Saintcrow appears to like triangles--this is very annoying, and the second time she's done it. Jill is the same kind of "rough and reckless bounty hunter" type that Dante is--I suspect this is as close to "tough strong minded female" that the writer can come. (Even if Jill's enhanced, I bet Riza Hawkeye or Izumi could clean her clock for her.)
