| Appearance In spite of his modest stature at 160cm (about 5'3"), he exudes confidence and mystery with his slender build. His face, with its long, angular features, is highlighted by a stylish five o'clock shadow along the jawline and a neatly trimmed goatee. Teal hair falls in untamed waves, partially covering his face in an enigmatic allure, yet tied back in a discreet low ponytail at the nape of his neck. Behind sporty sunglasses, his gaze reveals reddish-to-auburn irises, offering little insight into his thoughts. His tan complexion hints at a warmer climate than where he grew up. A subtle Team Rocket tattoo adorns his neck, usually hidden beneath his hair or hoodie. He wears an oversized hoodie and winter pants, adding bulk to his frame. Sturdy winter trekking boots complete his practical yet rugged style. Each piece of clothing reflects a theme inspired by Pokémon types or legendary creatures, like his iconic white-red hoodie reminiscent of Giratina. A chunky backpack hangs across his torso, modified to hold six pokeballs. He sticks to his preferred attire firmly, only changing when necessary. A silver ring adorns his right earlobe, adding a touch of elegance. Despite minor imperfections like a missing tooth and sightless right eye, he charms with his resilience and character. | |
| Personality At first glance, Crow exudes charisma, with a touch of eccentricity adding to his charm. He's always eager to share his vast knowledge of Pokémon, engaging with anyone willing to listen, driven by a genuine passion for battling and capturing Pokémon whenever he can. Not afraid to get his hands dirty, he embraces hard work to achieve his goals. Beneath his amiable exterior lies a surprisingly arrogant persona, showing unwavering confidence in his abilities both in and out of the Pokémon arena. He thrives on attention and admiration, reveling in the spotlight, though his ego sometimes gets out of hand, especially when his temper flares. Despite his bravado, Crow heavily relies on the strength of his Pokémon companions. Without strong allies he trusts, he can become anxious and doubtful, emphasizing the importance he places on their prowess. He spares no effort in ensuring his Pokémon meet his high standards, even if it means neglecting his own well-being. He firmly believes in the untapped potential of every Pokémon, seeing himself as the key to unlocking their greatness. Crow has a unique sense of humor, often at the expense of others, sometimes landing him in trouble due to his lack of filters. He prioritizes work over forming meaningful friendships or relationships, appearing to struggle with maintaining human connections. He has habits of stress smoking and drinking, capable of consuming several packs of cigarettes or multiple bottles of liquor without hesitation. | |
| History Found as a helpless infant on Hearthome Orphanage's doorstep, Crow's entry into the world was cloaked in mystery, with no name or known origins. Embraced by the orphanage, he was given the name Crowley Corbyn, his deep, obsidian eyes at the time mirroring the elegance of a Murkrow's feathers. Growing up quietly, Crow's outward appearance belied a mischievous nature that thrived on pushing boundaries. His playful antics frequently led him into trouble, yet fate intervened when he crossed paths with Hunter, an older boy from Unova. United by similar circumstances and a desire for companionship, they formed a bond that would significantly influence Crow's character. Hunter's profound commitment to ground-type Pokémon sparked a passion within Crow, setting the course for his Pokémon journey. Driven by intense ambition, Crow delved deep into the complex realm of Pokémon, eagerly absorbing every available resource. Whether it was poring over detailed books on Pokémon habitats or engrossing himself in captivating television programs hosted by renowned Professors, he soaked up knowledge eagerly in anticipation of his tenth birthday, the day his Pokémon journey would begin. Yet, a formidable barrier stood in Crow's way: the orphanage's stringent policy requiring children to finish their basic education before embarking on Pokémon journeys. Despite his fervent longing to begin his adventure, Crow felt trapped by the confines of this rigid educational requirement, his impatience simmering just beneath the surface. As time went on and Crow's desire to explore the Pokémon world grew stronger, his determination reached a tipping point. At fourteen, driven by an indomitable spirit, he made the bold choice to escape from the only home he had ever known. Setting out on a daring journey, he hitchhiked his way to Snowpoint and stealthily boarded a ship headed for unknown territories. However, the reality Crow faced upon reaching Kanto was far from the paradise he had imagined. He quickly realized that obtaining a Trainer ID card was a necessary step even to consider starting his journey. This realization left Crow at a crossroads. The idea of returning to the orphanage and surrendering the freedom he had fought so hard for was unbearable to him. Determined to forge ahead, he initially tried to capture wild Pokémon using stolen Poké Balls from Poké Marts. However, his lack of experience proved to be a significant obstacle. Frustrated and desperate, Crow's moral compass began to waver as he entertained darker thoughts. In a moment of impulsive recklessness, he decided to steal a Pokémon. His fingers trembled with apprehension as he reached for a Poké Ball hanging from a trainer's belt. But before he could act, a firm grip clamped down on his arm, bringing him to a sudden halt. The trainer, who turned out to be an undercover Team Rocket Grunt, regarded Crow with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. Rather than raising an alarm, the Grunt made an unexpected offer to Crow. He enticed Crow with the possibility of obtaining a Trainer ID card and receiving training in the art of Pokémon capture. However, the terms of this alliance were clear: in exchange for the Grunt's assistance, Crow would be required to provide captured Pokémon to Team Rocket. In a moment where desperation and opportunity collided, Crow made a fateful decision without hesitation. With a sense of resignation tinged with newfound purpose, he accepted the Grunt's offer, unaware of the path he had chosen and the shadows that lurked within Team Rocket's embrace. As time passed, Crow's journey took a darker turn as he delved deeper into the world of Team Rocket. With each Pokémon he captured and handed over to the organization for profit and experimentation, his skills as a trainer became more refined. However, it wasn't solely through deceit and coercion that Crow improved his abilities; he also honed his battling prowess by challenging gyms scattered across the region. Driven by his own ambitions, Crow perfected the art of theft, snatching Pokémon from unsuspecting trainers to enhance his formidable arsenal. With each successful acquisition, he built a core team of powerful Pokémon, creating a formidable force. Enjoying the defeat of his opponents, Crow relished in their humiliation, reveling in the bitter taste of victory. As Crow's reputation within Team Rocket skyrocketed, so did his stature within the organization. Recognizing his unwavering loyalty and ruthless efficiency, he climbed the ranks, eventually achieving the prestigious title of Admin. With this newfound authority came heightened influence and respect, cementing Crow's position as a formidable presence within the shadowy hierarchy of Team Rocket. As Team Rocket's ambitions extended beyond Kanto, Crow was deployed to their covert base in Hoenn with a group of dedicated Grunts. Initially, their mission seemed simple: recruit new members and expand Team Rocket's influence in the region. However, what started as a manageable task soon turned into a challenging battle against formidable adversaries firmly rooted in the area. Team Aqua and Team Magma posed significant challenges, repeatedly blocking Team Rocket's efforts. Crow and his comrades became entangled in an intense struggle for dominance, facing relentless opposition from these formidable adversaries. Their progress was consistently impeded by the unwavering resistance of their foes, making advancement an uphill battle. In a time of turmoil, tragedy struck Crow with cruel precision. During a fateful encounter in Petalburg Woods, he faced a rare, alternate-colored Ursaring. The Ursaring's ferocious Close Combat attack inflicted devastating injuries, leaving Crow incapacitated with a shattered skull and permanent blindness in one eye. Despite enduring months of arduous recovery, Crow displayed unyielding determination. Eventually, he emerged from the depths of his suffering, though forever marked by the scars of his harrowing experience. As Crow and his comrades attempted to regroup and push forward with their mission, they encountered an unexpected silence from Team Rocket's headquarters. With communication severed and their connection to their Pokémon abruptly cut off, they found themselves lost in a sea of confusion and uncertainty. For two agonizing years, Crow and his fellow operatives persevered in their solitary struggle, clinging to fading hope for aid from their allies in Kanto. However, as time passed without any sign of assistance, their hope dwindled, leaving them to navigate the treacherous landscape of Hoenn's power struggle alone, without a guiding beacon to lead them through the darkness. Feeling abandoned and forsaken, many of Crow's fellow Grunts abandoned Team Rocket, defecting to the opposing teams. Left to survey the desolate remains of their once-thriving base, Crow found himself alone amidst the eerie silence, broken only by the faint crackle of a lone radio. Despite the overwhelming despair, Crow refused to give in. He persevered in his solitary vigil, using the radio as his lifeline to the outside world, desperately hoping for any sign of contact from Kanto. Amidst the static and uncertainty, a faint signal pierced through the chaos, heralding a message of resurrection for Team Rocket. This cast a glimmer of hope upon Crow's weary soul. With newfound determination coursing through his veins, he resolved to journey to Johto, sensing an opportunity to seize control of the organization in the absence of Giovanni. However, faced with the stark reality of his depleted resources and lack of Pokémon companions, Crow knew he faced an uphill battle. Scrounging together whatever meager funds he could muster, he purchased a ticket to Johto, his heart heavy with anticipation and trepidation. Determined to learn from past mistakes, Crow vowed to operate discreetly this time. Shedding his old identity, he set out on a new journey disguised as a humble trainer beginning the Gym challenge. While he waited and strategized his return to Team Rocket, he concealed his true intentions. Unfazed by the prospect of starting anew, Crow remained steadfast in his belief that he could restore Team Rocket's former glory, this time as its undisputed leader. With unwavering resolve, he embraced the formidable challenge ahead, determined to ascend to the highest ranks of power within the organization. Embracing resilience as his guiding principle, Crow pressed forward with unwavering determination, his gaze fixed firmly on the ultimate goal. With every ounce of determination, cunning, and sheer willpower, he pledged to carve his way to leadership. Each step forward brought him closer to his destiny as the new Boss of Team Rocket. | |
