'''Tron''' is a party member and the protagonist of [[Space Paranoids]], based on the 1982 Disney film ''Tron''. He is a security program who works to stop the [[MCP]] and [[Sark]] from destroying [[Hollow Bastion]] with their army of digitized [[Heartless]]. He becomes good friends with [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]]. He appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and is considered the most important Disney character in the game behind the primary ones (Donald, Goofy, [[King Mickey]], [[Maleficent]], [[Pete]]). Unlike his movie counterpart, Tron speaks as if he had never experienced human life or emotions, contrary to having a fleshy form that was digitized into the virtual world
{{Q|Sora, Donald, Goofy... And all the Users out there... Thank you... You really helped me. You made me so much stronger. You taught me what friendship is truly all about. And I'll never forget it.|Tron}}

[[File:Tron Thanks KHII.gif|thumb|left|Tron's thank-you message to Sora, Donald, and Goofy.]]
''"A security program created by a computer user to watch the MCP.''
Tron meets Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] while they are trapped in a Pit Cell with them in the mainframe of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s computer. After escaping the cell and enabling access back to the real world, the four companions proceed to find a way to unlock the D.T.D., Ansem's dataspace. After activating a power core, Tron sends Sora and the others back to Hollow Bastion to locate the password required to access the D.T.D. They locate the password behind a large painting of [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]] (thanks to [[Tifa]] moving it aside), the password being the seven names of the [[Princesses of Heart]]. Tron hacks into the D.T.D and changes the password to Sora, Donald and Goofy, to bide himself time before the [[MCP]] attacks again. Sora, Tron and the others reach the I/O Tower where they fight a [[Hostile Program]], which they defeat.


''Tron is very dedicated, and he'll do just about anything for his user."''
Tron reveals to the three that Ansem is his user, but explains that Ansem also rebooted the MCP, suggesting that this may have been the doing of Xehanort, who had stolen Ansem's name prior to becoming a Heartless and Nobody.


;Second
During the group's return visit to the mainframe, Tron has been forced onto the Game Grid to fight for his life, while Hollow Bastion is being overrun by digitized Heartless by the corrupted town defense mechanism. Sora and the others save Tron and he learns all the Hollow Bastion residents are supporting him. [[Cid]] creates an Eradicator Program to stop the MCP's threat for good, which [[Aerith]] later passes on to Tron at the I/O Tower. Using the Solar Sailer vehicle to reach the core of the mainframe, Tron, Sora, Donald, and Goofy battle Sark and easily defeat him, but the MCP retaliates by reviving and upgrading Sark, commanding him to battle them and protect him. After a furious battle, the MCP is eventually deleted and Sark along with him. Tron is overjoyed and shows off his "funny side" to his friends, whom he hugs in a term of goodbye, before jumping into the core to take over the MCP's functions. He locates an old footage of Hollow Bastion when it was first built that reminds everyone of its former name, Radiant Garden.
''"A security program that was improved and upgraded by Ansem the Wise. He's the fellow who also reprogrammed the MCP. Tron is dedicated to making sure the system functions correctly, but the MCP wants to take control away from the users.''


''Only Ansem knows why these two programs behave so differently."''
It is not known whether Tron learns the truth about Xehanort having been the actual person to activate the MCP but under the stolen name Ansem, especially since Sora learned this by the time of his return trip to Space Paranoids.


==Story==
Some time after [[Xemnas]]'s defeat, Tron apparently downloads other software and happily dances back to the dataspace.
Tron meets Sora, Donald and Goofy while trapped in a Pit Cell with them in the mainframe of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s computer. After escaping the cell and enabling access back to the real world, the four companions proceed to find a way to unlock the DTD (Door to Darkness). After activating a power core, Tron sends Sora and the others back to Hollow Bastion to locate the password required to access the DTD. They locate the password behind a large painting of [[Xehanort]] (thanks to [[Tifa]] moving it aside), the password being the seven names of the [[Princesses of Heart]]. Tron hacks into the DTD and changes the password to Sora, Donald and Goofy, to bide himself time before the MCP attacks again. Sora, Tron and the others reach the I/O Tower where they fight a Hostile Program, which is defeated.  
 
==Design==
Tron resembles a normal adult human male, albeit with light blue skin and covered from head to toe in grey armor. Tron's armor is mostly seamless, the only distinct parts being his knee-high boots, small pauldrons, and vambraces. He also wears a helmet vaguely reminiscent of a {{w|hockey helmet}}. Tron's armor is covered in complex patterns of blue computer circuitry that glows bright cyan at times. A similar glow emits from his boots and vambraces.
 
Though most of the circuitry designs are seemingly random, certain patterns on his waist and helmet create the silhouette of a belt and parts of the human brain, respectively. There is a large space on his chest devoid of circuitry, grey except for four glowing squares arranged in the shape of the letter "T". His eyes are grey, as are his eyebrows, suggesting that his hair, if he has any, is also grey. It seems that Tron carries his Identity Disk on his back, or at least has a circular plate resembling it on his upper back.
 
==Personality==
Tron is shown to be a noble, selfless being who would stop at nothing to fight for his friends and justice. Despite his sometimes serious exterior, he is shown to have a playful side, demonstrated by when he hugs Sora, Donald, and Goofy before he merges with the computer system, and when he is shown to be ticklish. After Xemnas's defeat, Tron is even seen to be dancing.
 
==Abilities==
Tron is a conservative, ranged-focused party member, wielding his [[Identity Disk]], which has even lower power than Donald's staves. In battle, Tron typically keeps his distance and attacks opponents via range by throwing out his weapon like a boomerang until it flies back into his hands
 
Prior to accessing the DTD, Tron's skill set is limited to three support abilities: [[Item Boost]], [[Jackpot]]. and [[Auto Change]].
 
After accessing the DTD, his {{AP}} increases by 8 and he gains a number of new abilities. This includes another support ability, {{c|Auto Limit|support ability}}, and his set of action abilities, which include a far-ranged attack, [[Scouting Disk]], and [[Pulsing Thunder]], the equivalent to the regular [[Thunder]] spell. His limit, [[Complete Compilement]], is an incredibly powerful attack, compensating for his weak weapon.  


Tron reveals to the three that Ansem is his user (although which Ansem it is remains a mystery). He also explains Ansem rebooted the MCP. During the group's return visit to the mainframe, Tron has been forced onto the Game Grid to fight for his life, while Hollow Bastion is being overrun by digitized Heartless by the corrupted town defense mechanism. Sora and the others save Tron and he learns all the Hollow Bastion residents are supporting him. Tron receives an Eradicator program to delete the MCP. Using the Solar Sailer vehicle to reach the core of the mainframe, Tron, Sora, Donald and Goofy battle an upgraded Sark and the MCP. The MCP is eventually deleted and Sark dies with him. Tron is overjoyed and shows off his "silly side" to his friends, who he hugs in a term of goodbye, before jumping into the core to take over the MCP's programming. He locates old footage of Hollow Bastion when it was first built and revealed its former name: Radiant Garden. Tron is seen in the credits with a new dancing program, that Sora created.
After entering the computer for the final time, [[Aerith]] activates the rest of Tron's support abilities: [[Thunder Boost]] and [[MP Haste]].


It is never shown if Tron learns the truth about Xehanort having been the actual person to activate the MCP but under the stolen name Ansem.
Tron starts with 65 [[HP]] and 100 [[MP]]. He has 1 [[armor]] slot, 1 [[accessory]] slot, and 2 [[item]] slots, one of which starts with a [[Potion]] and the other with an [[Ether]]. Tron can obtain an additional 10 HP from freezing the computers, 15 HP from defeating the Hostile Program, 5 HP from defending the Solar Sailer, and 5 HP from defeating the MCP.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Tron's thank-you message to Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

Tron meets Sora, Donald, and Goofy while they are trapped in a Pit Cell with them in the mainframe of Ansem the Wise's computer. After escaping the cell and enabling access back to the real world, the four companions proceed to find a way to unlock the D.T.D., Ansem's dataspace. After activating a power core, Tron sends Sora and the others back to Hollow Bastion to locate the password required to access the D.T.D. They locate the password behind a large painting of Xehanort (thanks to Tifa moving it aside), the password being the seven names of the Princesses of Heart. Tron hacks into the D.T.D and changes the password to Sora, Donald and Goofy, to bide himself time before the MCP attacks again. Sora, Tron and the others reach the I/O Tower where they fight a Hostile Program, which they defeat.

Tron reveals to the three that Ansem is his user, but explains that Ansem also rebooted the MCP, suggesting that this may have been the doing of Xehanort, who had stolen Ansem's name prior to becoming a Heartless and Nobody.

During the group's return visit to the mainframe, Tron has been forced onto the Game Grid to fight for his life, while Hollow Bastion is being overrun by digitized Heartless by the corrupted town defense mechanism. Sora and the others save Tron and he learns all the Hollow Bastion residents are supporting him. Cid creates an Eradicator Program to stop the MCP's threat for good, which Aerith later passes on to Tron at the I/O Tower. Using the Solar Sailer vehicle to reach the core of the mainframe, Tron, Sora, Donald, and Goofy battle Sark and easily defeat him, but the MCP retaliates by reviving and upgrading Sark, commanding him to battle them and protect him. After a furious battle, the MCP is eventually deleted and Sark along with him. Tron is overjoyed and shows off his "funny side" to his friends, whom he hugs in a term of goodbye, before jumping into the core to take over the MCP's functions. He locates an old footage of Hollow Bastion when it was first built that reminds everyone of its former name, Radiant Garden.

It is not known whether Tron learns the truth about Xehanort having been the actual person to activate the MCP but under the stolen name Ansem, especially since Sora learned this by the time of his return trip to Space Paranoids.

Some time after Xemnas's defeat, Tron apparently downloads other software and happily dances back to the dataspace.

Design[edit]

Tron resembles a normal adult human male, albeit with light blue skin and covered from head to toe in grey armor. Tron's armor is mostly seamless, the only distinct parts being his knee-high boots, small pauldrons, and vambraces. He also wears a helmet vaguely reminiscent of a hockey helmet. Tron's armor is covered in complex patterns of blue computer circuitry that glows bright cyan at times. A similar glow emits from his boots and vambraces.

Though most of the circuitry designs are seemingly random, certain patterns on his waist and helmet create the silhouette of a belt and parts of the human brain, respectively. There is a large space on his chest devoid of circuitry, grey except for four glowing squares arranged in the shape of the letter "T". His eyes are grey, as are his eyebrows, suggesting that his hair, if he has any, is also grey. It seems that Tron carries his Identity Disk on his back, or at least has a circular plate resembling it on his upper back.

Personality[edit]

Tron is shown to be a noble, selfless being who would stop at nothing to fight for his friends and justice. Despite his sometimes serious exterior, he is shown to have a playful side, demonstrated by when he hugs Sora, Donald, and Goofy before he merges with the computer system, and when he is shown to be ticklish. After Xemnas's defeat, Tron is even seen to be dancing.

Abilities[edit]

Tron is a conservative, ranged-focused party member, wielding his Identity Disk, which has even lower power than Donald's staves. In battle, Tron typically keeps his distance and attacks opponents via range by throwing out his weapon like a boomerang until it flies back into his hands

Prior to accessing the DTD, Tron's skill set is limited to three support abilities: Item Boost, Jackpot. and Auto Change.

After accessing the DTD, his AP increases by 8 and he gains a number of new abilities. This includes another support ability, Auto Limit, and his set of action abilities, which include a far-ranged attack, Scouting Disk, and Pulsing Thunder, the equivalent to the regular Thunder spell. His limit, Complete Compilement, is an incredibly powerful attack, compensating for his weak weapon.

After entering the computer for the final time, Aerith activates the rest of Tron's support abilities: Thunder Boost and MP Haste.

Tron starts with 65 HP and 100 MP. He has 1 armor slot, 1 accessory slot, and 2 item slots, one of which starts with a Potion and the other with an Ether. Tron can obtain an additional 10 HP from freezing the computers, 15 HP from defeating the Hostile Program, 5 HP from defending the Solar Sailer, and 5 HP from defeating the MCP.

Fight against the MCP[edit]

During the final combat with the MCP, Tron is required to be in the party to derezz it. While Sora can break the MCP's defense walls, he requires Tron's presence to insert the Eradicator Program into the MCP's core. The Reaction Command of this move is called "Delete", and it is only available in this battle.

Origin[edit]

Right: Tron in Tron: Legacy.

Tron first appears in the 1982 film, Tron, portrayed by Bruce Boxleitner. His role in the film is similar to his role in Kingdom Hearts II. Written by Alan Bradley as a security program meant to monitor the Master Control Program, Tron is captured by the MCP and forced to compete in video games.

Tron also briefly appears in the sequel Tron: Legacy, having been copied onto Flynn's personal Grid.
