Personal Style: Coop doesn't give a damn how he looks; his style can mostly be described as plain and simple. Wrangler jeans are pretty much a standard for Coop along with plain t-shirts and white tank tops. Coop owns a lot of shirts, however they are mostly all the same with the same colors; black, white, navy blue and dark grey. Coop has been wearing the same pair of beige cowboy boots for the past ten or so years. The leather has dried up, they're all scarred and beat up but to Coop, it looks cool.

Coop's hair style is always kept short and he has never even thought of growing it long. Coop knows that he would look absolutely goofy if he were to ever grow his hair long, so he usually has someone close grab a pair of scissors and give him a quick little hair cut. His facial hair tends to come and go, depending on how he's feeling at the moment. It can go from clean shaven to a trimmed up beard to a full on beard that borders on Grizzly Adams.

Coop was blessed with a athletic body, so keeping in shape isn't hard to do but he does have a solid work out regimen to keep up. Having to chase around the supernatural would be a lot harder fi Coop had a beer gut going on.

Personality

General Personality: Coop is a very relaxed kind of guy. He's not the type to stress over the smallest of things. He's the kind of guy who likes to live for the now and worries about shit when it approaches. He'd rather live his life ignorant and plain sailing, taking every day as it comes to him rather then sitting on his hands worrying about the what ifs or maybes.

He has a tendency to be impulsive which can often get him into trouble. Coop has a tendency to act now, think later and on more then one occasion it's resulted him having to be bailed out by his nearest and dearest. That being said, often his impulsive actions occur in a situation that includes those he cares about. Riley is extremely protective of his family and friends and will stop at nothing to take down anyone who brings any harm or discomfort to them.

Coop's laid back nature makes it easy for him to get along with, but his sarcastic wit can turn some people off. Their are a number of people in this world that considered Coop to be a giant asshole, but that could be hardly from the truth unless you deserve it; than Coop can be one giant asshole.

He can hold a grudge and he'll scare the shit out of you when he does. Coop can hold a grudge like nobodies business, he'll let it fester up for days, maybe even weeks until he acts on it. Coop can put a face on as good as anyone else, which makes him somewhat dangerous and gives others a big enough reason to worry around him. They're not sure when he's going to turn and have it out with them, but sooner or later they know he will.

Coop does have a soft side, like all do. When it comes to the people he cares about he's not afraid to let his guard down. Sure, he still has his jokes, laughs and those times where he wants to punch everyone in the face but his family and friends mean the world to him. Coop is a very loyal person, he tends to put his heart and soul into all of his endeavours especially his personal relationships and his job.

Of course, this is not a problem if the man has company, or at least decent company.
  

History

Riley James Cooper was born in Austin, Texas on October 21st, 1975 to Sarah Jane Pardue and Vincent Cooper.

Sarah and Vincent were childhood sweethearts, they had everything going for them. They dated for a long time before settling down and had their first child, Riley in their early 20's. Sarah took a year and a half off her studies, she was studying to be a Paediatric Nurse whilst Vincent helped run the family business. His family were in the restaurant business, owning a chain of restaurants throughout Texas.

Coop had a difficult upbringing. His parents were young when they settled down and so their relationship was often strained by other things, money, lack of time spent together and just doubt. He was so young that he didn't even realise what was going on. As he got older he began to see the strain on his parents relationship, which become ever more so after his sister was born. For the most part he tended to stray from family life, often choosing to be apart of another family.

When he was nearing the end of middle school, he befriended some kids from a couple of blocks down and seemed to spend more time at their place then his own. Coop got on well with the Kramer boys and their sisters, specifically there eldest sister, Jessica. Coop was a fool around her, usually the kind of guy who kept his wits about him but she turned him into a complete and utter bumbling idiot.

As the years passed, Coop's home life got worse and he and Jessica grew closer. Coop was 16 years old when his dad walked out. His mother was suffering from depression and his dad was at his wits end. He offered to take Coop and Annie with him but Coop couldn't stand to sit and know that his mother was alone and so he stayed behind, insisting though, that Annie went. She was much safer with their father, Coop could handle things with their mother...or so he hoped.

Everything came at once. Jessica had fallen pregnant. He wasn't sure what to think, or say or even do at the time...he had no idea of what life would be like now. However, despite this, despite being scared he was also very excited toward the idea of being a dad. He was 19 and the last thing a 19 year old should have been thinking about was parenthood, but their was no way he was giving up on Jessica or his unborn child. They'd make it work, one way or another.

Coop was lucky to have his friends close, because they offered a lot of support toward him and his mother. Sadly, she didn't last very long and eventually Coop had to have her admitted into a Psyche ward. He visited her every day, but he could no longer look after her...he was just a teenager and he had no idea what to do for her. She was better off with people whom could give her the care and attention she deserved.

Shortly after, Coop was forced to sell the family home and was invited to live with the Kramers. He liked living with them because it meant he was closer to Jessica and of course, Kristoffer, his son. Coop worked an array of jobs to help provide for Kris and during the hours he wasn't working he took care of the baby as best as he could. A balance for the two soon ensued and they were able to live quite comfortably and easily.

Eventually they opted to find a place of their own, moving to Los Angeles. Jessica went about her studies and Coop was able to work at his uncles garage on weekends to bring in a bit of extra money. His part time soon shifted to full time and Coop was able to hold down his first real job.

Sadly, tragedy struck the Kramer family. Coop had been their to witness it at first hand and honestly..didn't know what to believe. Natalie was mauled by a beast, what kind he didn't know at the time but she was practically ripped apart. When it was over, they thought they were safe, he, Nick and Sam but the thing came back and took a swipe for Sam. They barely got away. The next few months were tough on everyone and a strain was put upon the family, especially between the siblings.

Had Coop not been there, he'd have not believed the tales but...he had been there, seen it all and believed everything he'd seen. That was no dog, it was something else and Nick and Sam had every right to want to look into it. Coop understood why Jessica refused to be apart of it and had Coop not been present that evening, he'd have probably opted out too.

His involvement strained his relationship with Jessica, prevented him from seeing his son Kris and concerned him when it came to his unborn daughter. Coop didn't want to be that guy, the type his dad had been where he bailed and was rarely around...he couldn't do that to any of them. He tried to juggle everything but failed, miserably and one day came where Jessica decided enough was enough. Coop didn't want to separate, it was the last thing he wanted but the arguing was hard on them all and so he figured maybe a break would help.

He was still around as much as he could be, he juggled continuously to provide and support everyone and for the most part did quite well. After Scarlet was born, he had hoped that maybe they'd get back together but it didn't happen and Coop being who he was never really kicked up a fuss. He wanted Jessica to be happy and if she was happier separated, then so be it. It wasn't as if he had any interest on moving on, he had other things to tend to like the new found organisation and sticking by his buddies. He was a friend and a father, everything else could come later.

When Jessica married Michael, he was...fucking furious. They'd not been married themselves but, little did Jessica know that Coop was waiting for the right moment to ask. He had the ring and everything, still did after all those years. Her sister had died and so he didn't ask because the timing was fucked up, he wondered had he asked before...or ever, after..then maybe they'd have still been together but Michael beat him to it. Thankfully, that didn't last too long because Michael was an ass hole and couldn't keep it in his pants. Of course, the only thing stopping Coop from shoving his foot up Michael's ass was knowing that it could make the situation worse for Jess and probably land him in jail and that was the last thing he wanted.
