CROW

**“***I realize this behavior is important to you. It has to be if you're so stubborn about it, right?***”**
— **Crow, to Elliot.**

## General Information

Crow is a character introduced in the first session of the Omphalos Project. He currently lives with Zietormf on the top floor of an abandoned apartment building.

Crow is secretive, preferring not to share information very liberally. Despite his private nature, he is conversational when prompted to be. He is also extremely passionate, reacting strongly when given things pertaining to his interests. He is very easy to sway using said interests, such as when spoof offered him explosives in exchange for his blood. In the end, he accepted the trade.

He doesn't like being confined in one place for too long, and will sometimes go for extremely long expeditions without telling anyone. He infrequently brings anything back from these, implying this is not an attempt at resource gathering and instead a leisure activity. It is unclear where his limit is in terms of how long he will stay out, as he usually has his trips cut short by various disasters.

He is proficient in improvising weapons and explosives, on occasion opting not to use his better weaponry in exchange for blunt objects or Molotov Cocktails. He is also stated to be proficient in trap-making, though this has never been observed, due to his concerns that Elliot would've harmed himself.

He dislikes dogs, and is unfriendly toward animals in general, stating that they are a safety risk. Despite this, he seems to have an interest in Taxidermy, keeping several animal heads on his wall, as well as in a bag that he carries on his person. He at one point fashioned a cape out of wolf fur for Elliot. Many of the heads are named, though they are usually comedic, most notable of which being a collection of boar heads dubbed The Boys.

## Background

Very little is known about Crow's history, beyond off-project content (such as his design's reference image) confirming that he is from WILD ROT. However, a handful of dialogue lines suggest that he abandoned his faction on purpose, stating that it's "better off this way". He at one point knew someone named Borzoi, but the extent of their relationship is unclear.

He was taught to sign his name using a drawing of a crow instead of a formal signature, and presumably has experience working in teams. He has mentioned having a real name, but has not revealed it. He doesn't seem to have much personal connection to his fake name.

## Relationships

*Crow has a habit of assigning the people in his life code names when writing about them in his journal, as such, they will be included.*

### Zietormf *(Guarddog)*

Positive. He finds Zietormf pleasant to be around, considering him to be a very reliable person. He does his best to help Zietormf when possible, particularly during bloodmoons or wolf attacks, though he usually ends up being out of his depth. He thinks Zietormf is too open when it comes to sharing things, but doesn't mind hearing about them.

### Spoof *(Bobcat)*

Neutral-positive. He didn't understand it well, but did think it was funny. He considered it harmless as a result of its repeated friendly behavior.

### Elliot *(Weasel)*

Positive. His brother. He found Elliot exhausting, but understood he was young and went out of his way to indulge his energy from time to time. He wished Elliot would take things more seriously, and had gotten firm with him multiple times.

### Onyx *(Domino)*

Neutral-positive. He considers Onyx harmless due to consistent passive behavior, but doesn't know him well. Crow has described Onyx as "pigeon-like", the reasoning for this is unclear.

## Trivia

* He likes music, particularly Industrial rock and Grunge.
* Despite being unfriendly toward animals, he knows a lot about them.
