History Characters / CitadelOfTheHeartChronicler

* SeriesMascot: One of the most prominent characters of ''Citadel of the Heart'', to the point he's the FaceOfTheBand for the continuity as a whole.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Shows up as an 8 year old in ''The Fastest Thing Alive'', in which he activates his [[SuperMode Phase 4 form]] as a BonusBoss type of enemy, all the while Chronicler's usual innocence appears to be... hidden behind his sleep walking.]]

*** MythologyGag: ''Mabinogi'' actually had a tie-in event at one point for ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', which allowed various items and customizations shown in ''Sword Art Online'' to be made available as actual costumizations or equipment in ''Mabinogi''.

* AmbiguouslyBrown:

* BadassBaritone: Is described as sounding completely identical to ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' Megatron.

** {{Lust}}. Be it his desire to rock Suguha's world so ''very'' badly, his numerous attempts to try and persuade Suguha with various courtship tactics to finally have a chance at her, the implication he walked with Suguha out into the forest to try and have sex with her there in privacy[[note]](considering Chronicler's SuperOCD NeatFreak tendencies made known later, the whole forest idea was most likely Suguha's own)[[/note]], the fact Kazuto doesn't even seem remotely phased at the prospect of Suguha being seen shirtless with Chronicler, be it whatever it implies for either of them, or most importantly the fact even though in the second arc, Chronicler does have sex with other women, he's only doing so because Suguha gave him permission and that he's otherwise a case of SingleTargetSexuality for Suguha to the point [[spoiler:he endangers his own life on too many occasions in the second arc solely to have sex by completely disregarding the timer on his life.]] Even Grandis admits that he himself was just as horny as Chronicler at his age and yet he wasn't as constantly determined for the desire for sex like Chronicler is. [[spoiler:Not only that, but his constant {{Lust}} ''not'' being caused by SingleTargetSexuality, but rather the opposite, he's the kind of guy who initially isn't entirely sure if he'd be the guy who ReallyGetsAround... before eventually ''Digimon Re: Adventure'' reveals this does indeed happen with him after all. This is also why Suguha's mother has to put Chronicler through an assignment to determine if he's even worthy of taking Suguha to the dance at her school; because she honestly believes with Chronicler's misstep regarding his lust made it more apparent at the time that, from this conversation alone, Chronicler is currently not worthy of her blessing.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Both physical and mental kinds, due to his heritage.
** Why is he so short and yet looks otherwise just fine for his age? Grandis guesses it's because of his hybrid nature, considering Grandis' 5'8" is ''technically'' also incredibly short by his own race's standards. [[spoiler:Considering Grandis' brother and Chronicler's uncle by extent is over 11 feet tall and weighing nearly 1,000 pounds, Grandis isn't joking with the possibility this is the case.]]
** {{Deconstructed}} regarding the shift in skin tone regarding his first draft appearance and his revision. Chronicler in the first draft was never intended to be a healthy individual, obvious with the bones showing through his clothes in his torso. Additionally, and within Ultimorian humans, having a color of skin that is not natural to either your father or your mother is a bad sign. Grandis is naturally supposed to have red skin but suffers from a genetic mutation that has an abnormal skin for him, and Kizmel has very dark skin, to the point Chronicler should realistically have peach colored skin assuming he was healthier. The problem? Not only was the lack of proper sunlight a major thing for Chronicler growing up, but not only wasn't eating enough, but he also wasn't getting the right nutrients, as an Ultimorian human feeds off of chemicals that don't exist in the food of Earth humans as it's otherwise inedible to Earth humans. About a full week after his first on-page appearance in ''Sword Art Online: Special Edition'', and he has the healthier physique associated with his heritage, both due to being better fed better and being given the supplement he needs to stay at a healthy diet for his kind, but also getting much more sun than he did before also did a massive help to his physique overall.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: {{Implied}}, but more than likely not actually the case. Nobuyuki refers to him as a "overgrown, advanced weigeltisaurid", which any savvy reader may or may not recognize as the type of animal that Rex from ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' is.

* AscendedMeme: For the reason Chronicler is called an "Edgelord" so much especially in the early chapters and the second arc, the author uses his ''Mabinogi'' based avatar as a heavily shrouded, black robed individual who is a KnifeNut who goes about hunting and farming mobs for gold and rare loot so he can sell them akin to a shady businessman in the form of an effective {{Manchild}} body due to his avatar being the 10 year old age, but characterizing him as 18 years or older and simply having the 10 year old height and some of his wardrobe and hairstyle reference ''{{Theatre/Hamlet}}'', whom the main title character also had an EmoTeen personality going on for him and also had a VagueAge factor. [[spoiler:As we see in the second arc, Chronicler was also indeed a shady businessman who indeed farmed a lot of mobs for money and rare loot to sell or to collect for himself whenever the situation wasn't about trying to befriend others. Not to mention the ''Hamlet'' comparisons go further once Chronicler begins to show more of his true colors here and there.]]

* KnifeNut: His primary DualWielding weapons of choice are daggers.

* NiceHat: [[https://www.deviantart.com/mf217/art/Chronicler-Royal-Attire-862378525 His royal attire]] for his status as Prince of the Ultimorian Deities includes a beret.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of Marty Stus. Chronicler's abilities are justified due to his AI origin, Chronicler's not even trying to attract multiple women so much as they're just naturally attracted to youthful men, and Chronicler's a complete dork when it comes to trying to be romantic with Suguha. Not only that, but he's also one of the few times the author chooses to ship a canon character with an OC such as Chronicler, and not because he wanted to ship Chronicler with Suguha; he just wanted Suguha to drop the IncestIsRelative plotline entirely from her canon self, so that she has no romantic attraction to Kazuto here.

* ReiAyanamiExpy: A rare male example of this trope. LoveInterest for Suguha? Check. Age 10-20? He's 18, so that counts. Pale skin? Check. DarkAndTroubledPast? Check. [[MysteriousPast Mysterious and or other-worldly origins]]? Check. [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue hair]] and [[TechnicolorEyes silver pupils with red irises]]? Check. NoSocialSkills among other issues? Check. NotQuiteHuman? Most definitely.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Nobody has come up with a proper answer as to why his has bluish tints in otherwise more black hair. Grandis doesn't know, nor does anybody else know; the closest answer Grandis has is that he's known his own species to have even weirder differences from ordinary humans in comparison to hair color.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of Marty Stus. Chronicler's abilities are justified due to his AI origin, Chronicler's not even trying to attract multiple women so much as [[RealityEnsues they're just naturally attracted to youthful men]], and Chronicler's a complete dork when it comes to trying to be romantic with Suguha.

** [[spoiler:When he ends up meeting Minerva later down the line, his entire decision to commit mass genocide against the Naotolis as Delta Silver for the first time ''finally'' begins to bite him in the ass. True, Naotolis was AlwaysChaoticEvil to the extreme, but when [[TokenHeroicOrc Minerva]] is asked to join forces with Chronicler, [[RealityEnsues she naturally has zero reason to want to sympathize with someone who has no regret for killing off her predecessor form's entire species.]]]]

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Led to his BreakoutCharacter status and the canonization of the other five.

** Yet again to ''VideoGame/{{Mabinogi}}'', in regards to the Faye in question being a representation of the Fynn Pet system added in late 2020. However, the similarities end at the subject of a Faye inhabiting an animal form.

* OurFairesAreDifferent: Part of the Dreigora Faye, a species of Faye so batshit insane alien to our worldviews that they could not plausibly function in our reality whatsoever. Their unique magic allows them to effortlessly break the associated rules of a given world at their own beck and call, such as allowing for themselves to be exceptions to what is otherwise a universal rule to any given world they'd otherwise be born within.
