Overall Personality: Cooper is your average cowboy from Texas. He is very loyal, especially to his friends and family. Of course, this loyalty doesn't include his father. He refuses to give up and will work until he drops to his knees if he had to. He loves country music and his truck, which is an old, brown Ford f-150 (1991 model). He is very respectful to women and those older than him and will prove it in any way he can. He has a temper on him, though. If you make him mad than you better start running. He will chase you down and beat you to a pulp if he has to. Its hard to make him mad; beating a female, being rude, abusing animals, etc. Of course, he will give you a warning first and if you don't listen, then he'll go after you. He is rather gentle, to be a large guy(standing at 6'3" and weighing about 200 pounds of muscle). He has a rather hard time showing his emotions and will usually cover up his sadness with a smile until he is by himself. He also has a hard time asking girls out, often stuttering and sweating, as well as nearly passing out on a few occasions. This often gets him rejected and laughed at by these females. Its pretty clear he loves dancing, as he is a dancer. He is an excellent one at that. Of course, he's very good at country dancing, but he can do other kinds to; ballet, tap, jazz. He also does the modern dancing; shuffling, wobbling, etc. He often expresses himself by dancing, sometimes singing, as he is a pretty good country singer as well, although he does this less often. He is a big amusement park fan and loves to get on all of the rides. He'll stay at an amusement park all day, especially if he's on a date(which is rare). Speaking on dates, when he gets them, he likes to spoil them. He'll take them out to nice restaurants, out dancing, and even cook for them on some occasions. You can count on him making a date romantic and fun.

Overall History: Cooper was born in a small town called Llano Texas. It was so small that everyone there literally knew each other. He had a normal infancy and in hid toddler years, his mother got pregnant again. His little sister was born when he was three years old. He took good care of her at such a young age, even insisting that he wanted to share a room with her. Of course, at the age of four, he started Pre-school. He quickly became friends with Becky whom, from then on, became his best friend. They were very hard to separate and even started dance classes together(which they stayed in up until they graduated high school). At the age of eight, his parents started fighting. Eventually, they got divorced. His mother took his sister, but failed to gain custody of him. His father blamed him and his sister for their divorce and began treating him badly. Cooper started to get beaten whenever he messed up and his father threatened him not to tell anyone or something bad may happen to Becky. Cooper, being the loyal best friend and Texas boy he is, didn't tell anybody for the safety of his friend. This continued up through his middle school years and high school years. In high school, he started getting nervous around girls. He had never been good at talking to them(unless they were related or Becky). He began getting bullied by the other guys, who said that he would be alone forever or with that tomboy girl of his(Becky). Of course, by the time he was a Sophomore, he began to fight back. He had many write ups from the principals and his father would get angry. Once he started fighting back, though, the bullying stopped. In his Senior year, he took Becky to prom. Of course, that night him and Becky went back to his place to hang out for a bit. He thought his father was asleep. While he was throwing up in his toilet from drinking too much, his father was starting to do bad things to Becky. Cooper walked into the room in time to see his Becky crying, some clothing missing, and his father standing over her, drunk. Once again, being the loyal best friend and Texas boy, as well as not having the best of tempers, he flew at his father. The neighbors called the police because of the noise so late at night and Cooper's father was arrested. From then on, Cooper lived with Becky and her family, having only a month or two of school left. When he graduated, he decided it was time to leave his small home town. So him, and his graduation present from his sister and mother, Dallas, moved to Newport Beach. He's been there ever since as a volunteer firefighter and doing odd jobs, as well as dancing in competitions.
