 * Not to be confused with DJ Crow.

James Crow, or more commonly nicknamed Jim, is a talented and popular Antarctican snowboarder and musician. James will marry Agent Meltie in the future.

Background
He was hatched on a nice, sunny day, which is surprisingly pretty rare in South Pole City. As soon as he was old enough to understand more, he became deathly afraid of his older brother, Johnny, who often drove over to the graveyard, dug up bones, and made sculptures and furniture out of them. His sister, Elizabeth, a bird just a year older than Johnny, was a girl at the top of her class and an amazing athlete. For some reason, Jim didn't feel that stereotypical sibling "connection". He just felt awkward being around them.

When James was five, he had to share his bedroom with Johnny. Johnny wasn't very happy with this, but he didn't care. He made his sculptures and furniture in peace. Jim, meanwhile, spotted Johnny's old snowboard in the closet and decided to sneak outside on an extremely snowy day. While boarding, Jim had accidentally added too much pressure and weight onto the board, and it snapped in two! As soon as he got home, he stuffed it in his jacket and hid it somewhere Johnny would never discover. It is still yet to be found.

Years later, John went off to college with Elizabeth, and Jim was all alone. No matter how much the siblings fought, they loved each other. He cried for them all the time. But pretty soon he realized he was free! He had more fun than he'd ever had in his life, playing video games in silence, and not plugging his ear-holes when Elizabeth began whining about her grades or friends or when Johnny played his so-called "music". James' eleventh birthday came, along with the arrival of a new guitar for him to play, and a younger brother named Steven, who was later nicknamed "Squee".

The rest of his school years were normal. He got high grades and was a good student, but some of that was interrupted when he met Agent Meltie, who was going through her "Emoguin" phase at that time. She befriended him, and soon learned he could play the guitar, so he was invited to join her band (which didn't even exist then).

Involvement
Jim plays the guitar, keyboard, and trumpet, and performs backup vocals in Fire and Ice. He's an excellent baker and good friends with Metalmanager, although they sometimes argue over Agent's love (even though MM and AM are not and will never be in a relationship).

Trivia

 * He is a middle brother, with three siblings
 * He always wears a green beanie, but he isn't bald.
 * It is rumored that he sings cheesy love songs. This has not yet been proven true, but Rocket Slug swears she heard something once. That's probably true.
 * He's so awesome that he wrote his own theme song. However, the sound file is secretly hidden away under a combination, lock-and-key padlock, and five-password protection on his laptop. You'll never guess the passwords.
