## Personality

Casey seems to be a bit arrogant and flirty (at least around April), quite inattentive to his schoolwork, and he thinks highly of himself. Even with his first encounter with April, he appears to be frequently involved with himself and thinks little of others. But he admits that he does need a tutor, as he wishes to stay on his hockey team. And while he tended to aggravate April a bit during their tutor session, he tried in his own way to be friendly and get her to enjoy herself with something besides just books.

He also shows a sense of "empathy" when she shows to be exhausted from that day and reaches out to wipe a smudge off of her face. During their encounter with Mutagen Man, Casey became protective over April and tried his best to watch out for her. He was also very impressed by how April fights - and he then asks if encounters like with Mutagen Man happen frequently. When she answers, "too often", the idea seems to excite him.

## Abilities and Powers

### Abilities

**Fighting Skills**: Casey Jones will use his hockey sticks and baseball bats as weapons against his enemies. He was first shown being able to hold his own against people like Raph and was told by Raph that he fights well but recklessly and dangerously. Casey has undergone further combat training with Splinter and the turtles, and since has honed his skills and became an even more skilled combatant. Casey is able to take on Kraang bots and Footbots as easily as the other turtles. He was able to defeat Hun in close-quarters combat, fight with a mind-controlled Karai for a short time, take on Tiger Claw, swiftly fight and defeat Rahzar and Fishface, keep up with Bebop and Rocksteady in combat, and land good hits on Shredder, albeit with aid from Raphael. Although Casey counts on his weapons more often than his own hands and feet, he has high level skills in unarmed fighting.

**Strength**: Don't let Casey's skinny body fool you, Casey's all muscle. He was shown to knock out one of the Rat King's Giant Rats with his bare fist!

**Endurance and Stamina**: His stamina is pretty high for a human as he can run and fight for an agreeable period of time.

**Intelligence and Inventor**: Casey seems to know all the strengths to master his enemies' moves. He can also create spectacular gizmos that are almost as good as Donatello's. He is a crafty and resourceful vigilante, using various weapons and tools we made to overpower his adversaries. Casey is shown to be a brash, yet effective tactician.

**Speed**: He can run faster than an average athlete, but he can move much faster wearing rolling skates.

**Hockey Player**: He is shown to be a skilled hockey player, capable of ice skating very well, and can hit pucks with great accuracy.

**Driving Skills**: His driving skills are so good that he can even drive the new upgraded car with little to no issues.

## History

### Past

#### Early Life

Casey's backstory is fleshed out over the course of the series. Casey's hatred of the Purple Dragons is rooted in an incarnation in his childhood. While Casey was still a kid, his father refused to pay protection money to the Purple Dragons and their leader a teenage Hun. His father's shop was burned down as a result, and Hun threatened Casey to tell his father to pay up next time or otherwise.

Despite being threatened not to, Arnold subsequently went to the police, but with no success; it is implied that Hun later killed him for trying to turn them in. For this reason, Casey has a very particular dislike for Hun. There was also a flashback of Casey's father telling him the importance of doing "the right thing." In the present, Casey relates this to Hun, who replies that he "was *dead* wrong!" As a result, Casey developed a deep hatred for crime, the Purple Dragons in particular, and vowed to get revenge.

Casey Arnold Jones, Jr. — middle name rarely spoken (except by his mother) — it is revealed that he first met the Turtles as a kid, although neither the Turtles nor Casey himself are aware of this fact. During a trip to the surface, the young Turtles witness bullies picking on young "Arnie." Disguising themselves as human children they tried to teach him ninjutsu, however, their unique perspectives and attitudes lead to more trouble than help, so they do not succeed.

However, in the end their lessons inspired him to stand up to the bullies in order to save a friend, and (in a bit of foreshadowing) using one of their own hockey sticks to defeat them proclaiming they were no match for "Arnold Casey Jones!". As he grew older, Casey became aware about the existence of mutants. Casey has created his own arsenal of weapons, which he uses against his enemies; crooks, mutants, thugs, and criminals alike — particularly Purple Dragons — and started hunting them down in the streets.
