Crow Hogan of the AU fanfic 'Black and Blue'. Following Yuusei's death, Crow would make the decision to 'live for [him]', going a bit further than his already growing interest in D-Wheel mechanics and unintentionally coming to adopt a number of traits from the now deceased. This increased with Pearson's death- the death of another close friend, so soon after Yuusei's own, left a harsh stain on his behavior, which can be seen easier when he stands among his canon counterparts. Key differences?

He duels twice before facing Godwin, but Bommer was never a Dark Signer in this AU; instead, he first faces Yuusei himself, followed by Kiryu at the tower of the Giant. Though he lacked a Signer mark at the time, the Crimson Dragon nonetheless lent him his aid for his efforts to use the Signer-less Stardust against their opponent; the result is that, while still fully dexterous, his right hand bears heavy scarring, more so than his palms already were from Pearson's fire.

During the duel against Godwin, which he fights in alongside Jack, the mark of the Head appears on his arm. Following all of this, a series of events lead to him discovering that he can't return to his original home (as it's being ripped down for the bridge construction), which forces him to ask Martha to care for his kids until he's able to find a place for them. Martha in turn would get him the Garage loft at Zora's, in Neo Domino, and from there things happen... Sort of as canon.

The matter of Bolger and Pearson, as well as Crashtown happen early for one. Additionally, since Jack is still 'King', he retains posession of his funds and penthouse. Carly gradually recovers her memories of the Dark Signers, and ends up staying with him, and it's after this that Crashtown's events occur in the far north of Hokkaido. Kiryu moves back to Neo Domino in those events in fact, as the incident leaves the entire area unfit for the kids... Fun stuff.

Crow is taken before the 'Peru' incident comes up, and that in itself takes place shortly after the matter of the Imposter Jack. Facing 'Ghost' didn't shake Crow too much, but he gave Stardust to Kiryu after the battle- it's not supposed to be his card after all, and thanks to the matter with Pearson and Bolger, he's got Black-Feather Dragon. Overall, he's less 'rash' than canon, one could say. He's certainly no Yuusei (though his grease monkey tendencies say otherwise), but at the same time, he's got a different sort of 'calm' about him. It's all rather odd.

For the moment, he runs a place called 'Blackbird Repairs and Delivery', and hopes to either earn enough to get a place for the kids, or at the very least pay for their education. (Highschool is not cheap.)
