so i have a full bio written up for cooper , which you can find here — fair warning , it’s a novel because i tend to ramble and cooper has a fairly elaborate history . but below will be my attempt at the cliff notes of his story , though i can almost guarantee it may still get out of hand because i , like jenna marbles , have a too much gene and i can’t control it !!!

cooper was born in bel air , california , and i know you know what that means — the silver spoon was shoved right into his mouth from the get go . mr averton was a well - known and reputable lawyer , so money was far from an issue for the family . the only issue was upholding their reputation and the family legacy .

being the eldest child , cooper was immediately expected to be the one to follow in his father’s footsteps and take control of the firm . except young cooper turned out to be far from lawyer - material . he was sweet , outgoing , and a little weak - willed — and thus , the family disappointment .

long story short , coop was the black sheep of the averton family . he stretched to reach the high expectations of his family , particularly his demanding father — but always seemed to fall short . cue the daddy issues .

cooper’s peers took advantage of his kind , personable nature in order to rise to gain their own popularity . he eventually caught on to his fake friends when he caught his girlfriend cheating with his best friend , and he sorta spiralled . loneliness and rejection are his greatest fears and he couldn’t swallow losing everyone around him , so he swallowed his pride and just kept letting people take advantage of him — all while burying himself in bel air’s partying scene .

that is where his addiction started , the drugs numbing him in a way nothing else could — well , aside from music . his creative streak was just another thing that differed him from his family and cooper embraced it . he always loved the way music made him feel , strumming a guitar or humming a lyric . he had two loves in his life : drugs and music .

following high school graduation , cooper’s parents were pushing him towards college , crossing their fingers that their son would find his way back from his little detour in life . but cooper had a different route in mind for himself — he wanted to pursue his passion for music . this obviously did not sit well with his parents , who couldn’t fathom how their rockstar son would further tarnish their pristine reputation as bel air’s finest . tensions rose in the averton mansion until they finally exploded one night , leaving cooper to pack his bags and leave the place he had called home for eighteen years .

being eighteen , cooper had full access to his trust fund and he booked a one way ticket to new york city , eager to put as much distance as he could between himself and his family . he didn’t want to solely live off of his parents’ money though , so he began busking and bartending to pay for his little apartment .

cooper could have easily bought his way to the top , to the career he dreamt of , but he wanted to earn it , to know that his talent was what pushed him to success . so he played on the streets , in as many bars that would let him , and uploaded his music online until he finally caught the attention of a rising record label .

his career generally follows that of his claim , sir sly , except his first single was released in 2017 . i’ll be working on a general timeline for his career , but he’s been active since 2017 and just released his newest single “ all your love ” !

last year , cooper ended up in rehab after a near - fatal overdose while touring . he went off the grid for three months until returning in the fall a brighter version of himself . it seemed to have done him good , except he eventually fell off the wagon after a few too many nights back in his usual clubs . that’s all on the downlow though , not many know he’s back to using and he’s careful to only be caught with a drink in his hand .

he’s also slowly reconnected with his family since his teens . they still don’t love his lifestyle choices , but there’s still the random phone call every now and then .

** i don’t know where else to weave this in , but his stage name is c.jave — sort of a little alias for him so he wasn’t leaning on the averton name .

*  /  𝑻𝑯𝑬  𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹  :

label(s)  :  the maverick , the benevolent , the contingent ,

traits  :  charming , reclusive , diligent , trusting , loyal , naive , addictive , creative , short - tempered , obsessive 

aesthetics  :  fingers adorned with silver rings , a journal bound in leather , missed calls from california , shirt sleeves pushed up to elbows , lyrics scribbled in a rush , cigarette smoke curling from parted lips , broken guitar strings

personality wise , cooper’s a walking enigma . at first glance , he’s quiet , mysterious , and a little intimidating . his resting “ don’t fuck with me ” face can put most off , and he’s unlikely to make the first move with strangers — unless he has something in his bloodstream .

give him a few drinks ( or pills ) though , and cooper can become the life of the party . he honestly just loves to have fun and enjoy his freedom in nyc . he’s a well - known face at the bars and is often photographed stumbling home to his loft apartment in times square .

his walls are unfortunately let down a little too quickly for his own good though . even though it’s fucked him over in the past , he trusts too easily and wants to believe in the best of everyone . he’s quite charming and sweet so he can easily win over most , but those cold - blooded enough find it easy to take advantage of him and his generosity .

once you earn his trust , cooper while fight tooth and nail for you . he’s fiercely loyal , catch him throwing hands at anyone who tries to mess with his friends .

he’s also a major gentleman . manners were ingrained in him from the start , so he’ll open doors for strangers , text you to make sure you got home safe , and offer help with anything you need .

this isn’t a major thing , but i wanted to include it , but he’s a really great conversationalist . he’s just so curious , so he listens really well , and is so intelligent and well - thought that any conversation can twist into some deep , philosophical exchange if you’re not careful with him .

oh and — his look is current austin : the short , dark brown hair — v elvis of him . he had the original long , blond hair for a good few years but cut it shortly after rehab for a “ fresh start ” or some bullshit .

*  /  𝑻𝑯𝑬  𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑵𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺  :

i truly want anything and everything plot wise for coop . i’m down to brainstorm , fill wanted connections , and / or work off of chemistry ! but i’ll list a few ideas that come to mind rn :

first nyc friends . he’s been here since 2015 and sorta bounced all over the place . i would love a roomie from back in the day in coop’s old , run down apartment , some og party buddies ?

exes ! he’s openly pansexual , so this is open to any . please break his heart ( sir sly has a song about a cheating ex soo 👀  )

friends with benefits , random hookups . drunken one night stands !

writing partners ? cooper writes all of his own music and also writes for other artists .

bromances . partners in crime . brother / sister friendship !

neighbours ?? cooper lives on his own in a really beautiful loft apartment , but i’d love a neighbour in the building or something !

❛ ⋆ ․˙✰ preston ross soung is graduating in a month with plans to become a professional chef. four years complete and he is leaving the hamptons being remembered as the mooncalf, which makes perfect sense considering how gregarious, zealous, impetuous, and sybaritic he is. that title landed them the senior class superlative of best person to be stranded on a deserted island with. you’ll know they’re around when you hear suncity - khalid coming from a car this summer.  speaking of summer, i hear their plans are to spend it trying new recipes and partying. black coffee at midnight, bookshelves full of cookbooks, laughter breaking even the coldest ice, and stained aprons.

given name : preston ross soung

nickname : pres

birthdate : may 25, 2001

hometown : the hamptons , new york

occupation : student / line cook

↘︎ 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 !

alright .... my boy , preston 

let’s start with his fam . his dad , elliot , is a renowned plastic surgeon ( he’s prob given half of ur muses’ moms botox lbr ) and his mom , theresa , is a famous fashion designer . due to her job , his mom travels a lot and his parents bicker quite a bit about how absent she is a lot of the time , but somehow they’ve stuck it through 31 years of marriage and pres loves and idolizes them for it .

theresa and elliot had 3 amazingly brilliant kids : serena , preston , and caitlin . because theresa travels a lot , elliot had to pick up the slack and has always tried his hardest to be a good father but , bless his heart , he’s very clueless when it comes to simple household chores like cooking and cleaning so preston and his sisters all learned very quickly how to care for themselves and each other , and the three of them eventually adopted their own roles within the soung household :

serena , being the eldest at 21 , is the mature mother figure . she’s the best listener out of the three , has the biggest heart , and has bandaged most of preston’s wounds from his crazy antics . it was no surprise that rena moved on to excel in nursing school after high school . she now lives in manhattan and works as a nurse in the er , but she visits often and is always a phone call away .

caitlin , 15 years old , is the housekeeper . she was always that little kid who loved her toy broom and had a knack for knowing just how to get that stain out of the run before dad got home ( because the maids would surely tattle if they asked for help ) . she’s recently adopted a love for interior design and likes to move the furniture around the house , and as annoying as it is , preston can’t help but admit that his lil sis has an eye for design .

preston is the entertainment and chef . he was practically born with a smile on his face and it’s hardly disappeared since . half the time his sisters find him beyond annoying because they’re the best victims for his latest pranks , but they usually break into a smile in the end . plus it helps that they know he’ll whip up an exquisite dinner later that night .

no one really knows where his talent and passion for cooking came from — neither of his parents are very good in the kitchen — but somehow young preston found himself in the soung household’s beautiful , grand kitchen watching the chef his parents hired whip up dinner and he was mesmerized .

since then , his parents have stopped needing to hire a chef to cook for their family because preston’s biggest hobby has become finding and cooking new recipes in his comfort zone : the kitchen . his pinterest is absolutely filled with recipes he wants to try and put his own spin on , his instagram feed is 90% food , and his bookshelves are stacked with recipe books .

his dream is to become a professional chef and basically be the next gordon ramsay ( aka his #mancrushmonday ) but for now he’s settling for working as a line cook at mel’s diner ( sure , mommy and daddy have money but preston’s never been the spoiled-rotten type and he’s never been keen on relying on their credit cards )

he is 100% in no rush to grow up though . he’s truly a child at heart and is determined to enjoy his youth while it lasts .

↘︎ 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 !

preston is without a doubt the chandler of the group . 90% of the time he’s cracking jokes and laughing , the other 10% he’s probably just waiting to crack a joke tbh .

he has a big heart and is definitely the most loyal friend you could ask for , but i wouldn’t run to him for heartfelt advice or anything like that unless you want to recreate this friends scene .

but he is the guy to go to when you need to take your mind off things with a crazy adventure , intense mario kart tournament , a gourmet meal , or a shopping spree ( he will carry all of your bags for you too )

fun is his middle name and he’s made it his life goal to try and make sure he’s not the only one having it . he truly believes laughter is the best medicine ( actually , a good meal is probably considered number one in his books ... ) and he really just doesn’t see the point on dwelling on the negative ??

this trait may turn out toxic in times of true difficulty as preston’s second best talent after cooking is burying all of his emotions and ignoring them and acting like he doesn’t give a shit !!! what a healthy man !!!

he is definitely that outgoing guy who blends into every clique or high school group , gets invited to every party , and can get along with practically everyone he meets . he likes to give everyone a fair chance and acts like everyone is his best friend , but he’s got a soft spot for a few select people who have wiggled his way deep into his heart . he’s definitely to loyal to anyone who hasn’t faulted him , but he would risk everything he has for his closest friends and you’d be truly blessed to be considered one of those close friends .

speaking of those who have faulted him , his spirit animal is definitely like a lion cub or baby bear : he’s sweet , cute , and cuddly at first glance , but mess with him or those he loves and you will see fangs bared . he’s got a temper buried deep down that usually only peeks out when those he loves are in trouble .
