• One of Krow’s understated talents is mimicry of those around him. He is very good at imitating bird and animal calls and can find ways to make sounds you never thought could come out of him. He also unconsciously imitates Ace (Leo), particularly his jokes and leader speeches, with varying levels of success.• This guy often has difficulty sitting still, likely due to anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD. He paces, he fidgets, he stims. Thankfully it’s part of his charm, as it makes him very emphatic and animated.• Krow does not like his middle name, Zachariah, as he thinks it sounds embarrassingly Biblical and old-fashioned. He tries to prevent people from knowing about it, but if forced to give out his middle initial, naturally people will get curious.• His favorite color used to be blue, but as he gets older it becomes green.• Krow’s favorite snack is dandelions. The whole thing, flower and all.• In the future timeline, food was so scarce that insects became one of the most accessible food sources. Krow is not a picky eater and will eat anything remotely edible, and this includes insects and other things most won’t touch. Crickets, ants, and beetles were popular foods.• Like his reptilian family, he dislikes cold temperatures and seeks warmth.• Krow’s ears turn red when he blushes and is one of his physical signs of being flustered.• He fears the dentist or anything having to do with people messing with his teeth.• Like a crow would, he loves collecting interesting things he finds on the ground and giving them as small gifts to people he likes or is close to.• Krow hates his space being invaded, but he typically doesn’t mind physical affection from those he trusts.• He is a really poor liar. Embarrassingly so.• Crows have a lot of imagery and symbolism connected to them, and as a result, so does Krow. Crows are connected to death & misfortune, thievery & scavenging, and messengers & fortune telling. However, they also symbolize positive things like intelligence & wisdom, adaptability & change, and transformation & rebirth. Krow embodies many of these aspects.• There is a mythical three-legged crow in some East Asian cultures, primarily China (Yangwu/Jīnwū), Japan (Yatagarasu), and Korea (Samjok-o). It is a god of guidance and a divine messenger, and it’s also said to be the incarnation of the sun. Krow is partly inspired by this mythical creature, like the sun imagery and being a figure of guidance (especially for people younger than himself).

ABOUT KROW JONES.

CONCEPTION OF THE CROW BOY
Casey “Krow” Jones Jr. was initially created as part of an AU, formerly called Sky’s Edge, for TMNT Discord roleplay as a way to distinguish between other versions of the same character. As I played Krow, he took on a life of his own. He has his own distinct personality, background, quirks, and symbolism/aesthetic. After roleplay with that Discord group ended, I decided to make my AU into an ongoing fanfic, Radiant Souls. In my fic, immediately following the events of the movie, Krow joins the others on an epic adventure to save the two turtles that fall ill from a mysterious infection.IMPORTANT NOTE: When I roleplay Krow, it has no bearing on the contents of what will be featured in the fanfic I’m writing. All roleplay will be treated as separate verses, and what happens in RS may not occur in roleplay.KROW'S PERSONALITY
Krow is a kind, polite, and courageous young man. He is bright and has a fair amount of common sense. He is compassionate and wears his heart on his sleeve, unable to hide his feelings well, both the positive and negative.When Krow is relaxed, he is chatty, playful, curious, and occasionally mischievous. He can also be quite blunt and opinionated when not amused. Even when things are relatively peaceful, he is characterized by moodiness — he has an underlying anxiety and uncertainty about himself and the world, yet also has the inklings of the typical “I’m an adult now so you can’t tell me what to do” rebellious confidence of someone his age. As a result, he tends to have large shifts in how he thinks and feels about things from one moment to the next.Despite having known nothing but war in his life and being confused by many things in the present time, Krow knows how to survive and adapt. In that sense, he’s optimistic and hopeful by finding joy in little things and doing whatever he can to keep himself and his world from falling apart. However, underneath his optimism and “gotta do what I have to” attitude lies a lot of trauma, grief, and loneliness. With the help of his new family and friends, perhaps he can begin to heal. He hopes to live a peaceful, independent life in the past timeline, but his adventure is not over just yet.TOOLS & GEAR
• Krow’s main weapon is a hockey stick chainsaw, dubbed a “hockey saw” or “hackey saw” by himself and his allies. This hockey saw is powered by a synthetic mystic crystal shard which prevents it from ever running out of energy. (Think lightsaber crystals from Star Wars.)
• He wears a pair of special gloves to grip his weapons. In his right glove, it can shoot out a grappling hook that he can use to swing like Spider-Man or perform acrobatics. His grappling hook can be electrified to electrocute others with a high voltage of 100,000 volts and an Amperage of 5 milliamps, which would be a severe shock equivalent to a very strong taser. However, the electric shock can usually only go off a couple times over the course of a day, as (unlike the hockey saw) it gets drained and needs time to recharge. It can be charged from from 0% to 100% over about 24 hours.
• Krow wears a white hockey mask with red stripes while fighting. This mask has a lot of special tech in it. GPS, binocular and night vision, mystic energy detection, trajectory calculation, all that good stuff.
• Krow wears special lightweight, flexible armor that is meant to withstand high impact and lasers.
• He wears a cape which was styled to look somewhat like Honey’s (Mikey’s) cloak, as Krow really admired it. It is thick and durable, good for protection and keeping warm.
• He has a bag full of small things he needs — rations, pocket knife, bandages, what have you. When he is not on duty or in danger, he likes to fill this bag with lots of small things he finds.STRENGTHS, SKILLS, & SPECIAL ABILITIES
• Krow is a human and does not possess mystic powers of his own. However, it has been said in his world that with proper training, humans can connect with mystic energy. He has given up on connecting to mystic powers, but others have insisted there’s potential in him. Only time will tell...
• He is fairly athletic for a human, and his strength pulls through when it really matters (such as swinging an incoming missile around). He is very good at acrobatics and adept at wielding bladed sticks and blunt object weapons.
• Krow knows a wide variety of survival skills, as he needed to survive in the wasteland and wilderness — things like how to build shelters, how to find or purify water, making fires, foraging/scavenging for food and materials, etc.WEAKNESSES
• Krow is a human who has not tapped into any mystical potential. Thus, he has comparatively far less raw strength, speed, and durability than the super-powered mutants and Yōkai around him. Without any of his weapons or gear, Krow is only physically capable of what a weaponless human would be, so he is naturally far worse off if disarmed. Krow can be at a disadvantage against those with mystic powers.
• He has suffered a lot of trauma due to war and death at a young age, losing many people he knew. Because of this, Krow has PTSD, occasionally reliving trauma and responding the way a person with PTSD typically might to particular triggers. This can sometimes make him come across as nervous, jumpy, or out of it/dissociating, which is not ideal in dire situations.
• Krow is not great at keeping his feelings hidden, so his obvious feelings like compassion, concern, anxiety, embarrassment, anger, or frustration can easily be used against him. In a lighter sense, this also makes him an easy target for teasing because he cannot help but react.BACKGROUND
Casey “Krow” Zachariah Jones II was born in 2026 to Cassandra “Kora” Jones. Krow’s biological father, to whom his mother never married, was also in the Resistance forces. His father went MIA slightly after Krow was conceived and shortly after was assumed captured or dead. By the time Krow was born, the Resistance forces had been pushed entirely off of Long Island by the Krang, and they had bases in western New Jersey and just north of NYC (the area near Yonkers). Just north of NYC is where Krow grew up, so he’s technically not NYC-born and raised, though he is in spirit.The Resistance base itself was protected by mystical barriers and all sorts of hi-tech weaponry. It was as much of a fortress as they could make it. The rest of the family attempted to shelter Krow from the war when he was too young. But starting from when he was about 6 years old, he began to help out around the base with age-appropriate tasks. Krow grew up in a self-sustaining community that had to rely upon the labor of young people like himself to keep going. Krow learned how to do many things growing up, from cleaning, to growing food and taking care of animals, to dressing wounds and watching over the sick and ill, to fixing tech, to making clothes. Krow became known as a jack-of-all-trades kid.Sometime when he was young, Ace (Leo) noted that Casey had bird and crow-like tendencies — black hair that looked like wings, perching when sitting, often found scavenging food, collecting shiny objects, and he was pretty clever for his age. Due to this, Ace started affectionately calling Casey “Little Crow”. Casey didn’t like it at first, saying it didn’t sound very cool. Ace then assured that it could be spelled with a K for Kool, and Casey begrudgingly accepted this. Over time he began to appreciate the name and make it his own.King (Raph) died first when Krow was far too young to remember him. His mother, Kora, died when he was 8 years old. Krow was given her mask as a keepsake. Krow wore it to feel close to her during his grief. The turtles thought it might be good for him to wear it as comfort and a way to hide his emotional vulnerability. After his mother’s death, Ace took on the responsibility of taking care of Krow. Filled with concern, Ace then began to train Krow, figuring it was time he learned how to defend himself. Through training and other father-son bonding, Krow and Ace became much closer.When Krow was 12, there was a large argument with the remaining turtles about him entering the war. It was eventually decided that they could not wait any longer. Krow, like many kids who fought, was positioned as a scout, a communication job which wasn’t on the front lines but required quickness. Jett (Donnie) made Krow’s hockey saw and grappling hook. The mask given to Krow years earlier was modified by Jett to help the kid out as much as possible for patrolling and recon missions. The cape was also made by Jett a bit later and was a gift for Krow’s 13th birthday. Sadly, Jett died not terribly long after this.When Krow was 14, the Resistance base’s operation was falling apart. Without Jett present, they couldn’t maintain the tech the base required, and were having severe problems with shortage of materials. Additionally, many people with mystic powers had perished or been Krangified, and not enough were there to help maintain the barrier that kept the base hidden and safe. The Krang found the Resistance base then burned and destroyed it and everyone inside, causing its inhabitants to flee and hide in caves. For the next four years, the remaining Resistance forces lived as Krow would later describe to the present Hamato family — hunted down by Krang, living in caves, eating leaves and rats.The Resistance’s final unsuccessful attack was one of many attempts to get back on Long Island and get all the way to the Technodrome. Honey and Ace survived up until the time portal was created and Krow was thrown back in time.The rest of the events of the movie take place. Afterwards, Krow is left stuck in the present timeline and forced to deal with the loss of everyone and everything he knew, yet at the same time gaining so much more. He must learn to live in the present timeline.IMPORTANT NOTE: Krow’s background and general info was made not long after the release of the ROTTMNT movie, well before any additional information came out regarding the Future Timeline or Casey Jr.’s life. I know what is canon and fanon, so do not correct me, also I do not care. My city now.
