1000 A.D., also known as the Present, is one of the eras in the role-playing game Chrono Trigger. It's known as the Present because this is where the game starts. The main playable character, Crono, is from this era, and it's where his journey begins. Lucca and Marle are also from this era. This 1000 A.D. has nothing to due with Planet Earths 1000 A.D. becuase it happens on a different planet. Its possible this year could be happing at any point relative to Planet Earth History, because its another worlds history.
