Description
Jerry Atric, an elderly crow ninja animaloid, serves as the trusted advisor to Seymour "Big Cheese" and leads the Ninja Crows. A strategic counterbalance to Big Cheese’s impulsiveness, he devises schemes to dominate Little Tokyo while navigating their complex bond—a mix of loyalty and subtle homoerotic tension, marked by Jerry’s affectionate use of “Cheesy” for Seymour.

Fifteen years before the main events, a critically ill Jerry lay near death in his clan’s care when Big Cheese, lunging desperately for food, tripped and accidentally kissed him. The contact miraculously revived Jerry, forging an unbreakable alliance as the Ninja Crows pledged lifelong loyalty to Seymour.

Standing 144 cm tall and weighing 44 kg, Jerry dons crimson-and-black armor with a white helmet mimicking a wig, topped by a black Tokin headpiece tied to Tengu lore. His beak sports a white mustache and beard, though his helmet’s occasional slippage exposes a bald crown.

Commanding both the Ninja Crows’ general forces and the elusive Rude Noise squad, Jerry once relied on Bad Bird as his right-hand until the latter’s defection to the Samurai Pizza Cats strained their ties. Privately, Jerry faulted Big Cheese’s blunders for the loss, yet maintained respect for Bad Bird’s skill.

A master tactician, Jerry engineered colossal robots like the sunlight-blocking Sunblock 16 to undermine the Pizza Cats. Following a comet-induced disaster, he meticulously scrubbed evidence of Big Cheese’s crimes, securing their resurgence in Little Tokyo.

His name, rooted in “geriatric,” nods to his age, while his Tokin and crow motifs anchor him in Japanese folklore. Early iterations occasionally spelled his surname “Atrick,” later standardized to “Atric.”
