Appearance: The visage of Necro is a difficult one to look at.

His long and slender beak is a dark shade of navy blue and often carries a smirk of cockiness anywhere he goes.

Personality: Necro is an enigmatic soul. Quick to jest when grave, this crow holds the deceptive front of a callous smart-alec that seems to linger with him at almost every waking moment. He tends towards being very direct and often comes off as quite disrespectful, if not bold. There's also a subtle air of nihilism that Necro bears. In any given interaction, it is difficult to care if he cares about anything at all, even in moments of enthusiasm, if often seems subtly feigned if not made into blatant sarcasm. Caution is nowhere in his vocabulary. He has a sense of morbid curiosity that always manages to land him in webs of conflict when he follows it. Yet his arrogance allows him to face these conflicts head on with little fear. With that said, Necro is anything but stupid. He's known for being quite clever and quick-witted, even if his habits seem to reflect otherwise. Overall, Necro is an interesting fellow, a magnet for trouble, and is yet shrouded with eerie mystery.


Combat traits

Powers: Necro possesses the ability to produce electrical storm clouds as large as a school bus, and generate electricity within his feathers to release them in blasts of lightning, or internalize to heal minor wounds. He also has the ability to produce large crow wings from his back for flight. These wings are strong enough to produce powerful gusts of wind to blow enemies away. Lastly, he can use his electric powers and internalize it into physical force to generate thunderous blows that clap like thunder and have the force to crush steel.

Strengths:
- Clever enough to work his way past problems.
- He's quick in flight.
- Pragmatic; he is not bound by any moral code.

Weaknesses:
- His own cockiness may land him in dire situations
- He's not very good at swimming
- He has a soft spot for children, despite claiming to dislike them.


Social information

Positive relations
- Sully the Rat - Necro's right hand crime partner and best friend. They've known each other since they were children, and have been getting in and out of trouble ever since. Sully is much more cautious than Necro, but is also very analytical and underhanded, not to mention greedy. To him, crime is all about making bank.
- Frankie the Iguana - The stoic muscle of Necro's gang and loyal bodyguard. She was discovered by Sully during his time betting in illegal underground fight clubs and noted how strong she was. With deadly boxing skills and the power to breath fire, Sully brought her to Necro, who offered a position in his gang for better pay and less exploitation.
- Delilah Crow - Necro's 75 year old mother. She's a rather odd old bird, seemingly apathetic to the lack of ethics in Necro's criminal activity. She's proud of him for finding a way of success as unorthodox it may be, but wishes that he would take the time to visit her more often. And bring money!

Negative relations
- Jenny Marx - Law enforcement is always on the watch to put a stop the criminal works of Necro's gang, and officer Jenny Marx is often tasked with doing so. Necro has had many scrapes with this headstrong and stubborn cop that it's almost routine giving her the slip! He would consider her a close acquaintance if she weren't trying to put him behind bars.

History
Gillian Crow was once a traveling con man trying to make a living from the contents of your wallet. He was infamous for his charming lies, rigged gambling games, worthless yet pricey items and of course his slick getaways. Gillian had a knack for disappearing when his scams were exposed, leaving to find a new group of people to scam with the help of his best friend Sully for relocation purposes. It was a successful time for the young crow...until he scammed the wrong crowd. One day, Gillian's last customer was a gangster whom he scammed without a second thought. It wasn't until later that day that he realizes the grave mistake he made, when his vision went black by a burlap sack, and a blow to the head stole his conscious.

It was the dead of night when Gillian found himself in a dark alleyway of Station Square, savagely beaten by a small gang of crooks known as the Bad Omens, who took vengeance on the con artist for cheating one of their members from their money. The beating last for what felt like an eternity, until finally the gang left him for dead. Broken and bloody, Gillian lied there in that alleyway until finally his heart stopped beating. A storm brew as he took his last breaths. Hours later, found by a mourning Sully who lamented in the rain, there was a bright flash of lightning that surged into the new corpse, miraculously jump-starting his heart. The rat was terrified as his best friend was awakened in literal shock and memories of what had happened to him slowly manifested within his thoughts. Disbelief was the initial feeling of realizing the crow had been risen from death, but once he discovered the powers he was now cursed with, malice filled his resurrected heart. Necro was born.

With his newfound powers, Necro hunted the gang that killed him and struck them down with the wrath of his thunderstorm abilities. With their demise, Necro took the gang name for himself, and started his own gang with Sully as his right hand. His goal? No different than before. Extend his criminal activity to frying other bodies of crime to profit from their loot. With the power of lightning and increased confidence, Necro had more than enough tools to see himself to the status of Crime Boss of the New Bad Omens.
