Nationality: American (from Tennessee, USA)
Rowan “Fox” Cooper has a naturally tan complexion with cool, subtle golden undertones, which is imparted due to spending much of his time outside. Her eyes are a deep russet brown colour, which tends to appear as a deep, solid brown in dim lighting, but in the bright light brings out fiery copper, gold, and reddish highlights within the iris. He has dirty blonde hair, which has some darker brown lowlight strips throughout it, which is generally maintained in long, shaggy layers made of roughly three layers. He does have a small amount of facial hair in the form of a long (kinda goat-like), petite goatee, which has the same dirty blond base with darker brown lowlights throughout. He has a large healed-over injury leading from the middle of his lips to his right cheek, where most of the skin has been replaced by scar tissue, and he is missing a golf ball-sized amount of flesh from the corner of his mouth, resulting in the inner parts of his mouth (teeth and gums) being visible even when closed after an accident when he was a kid. The bridge of his nose has a slight but noticeable bump on it with a small, lighter pink colored scar which goes across it just under the bump due to having his nose broken at one point. He does have a couple of smaller scars around his body from a variety of causes, including knife cuts, gunshot wounds, burns, and old personal injuries obtained when growing up and/or during serving for the military/codrin’s. On his back, just above his tailbone (tramp stamp) is a tattoo/brand of a small shovel with two vines of thorns wrapping around it. He has a very tall, lean and athletic physique. He does have visible lean muscles, though the majority of his muscles are hidden until he flexes them, almost like hidden guns. Though more of his muscle definition is in his legs and abdominal core than in his arms, he often has to hike or run through difficult terrain for miles at a time.
Spends most times being a bodyguard for Drago in his usual tactical gear, which consists of the following: the basics being a pair of black tactical pants, a deep/dark crimson compression shirt, a black vest jacket with a couple of patches on it, a pair of black hard-knuckled fingerless gloves, and a pair of dark grey military steel-toed boots. He also equips a grey and black two-toned bulletproof vest, which is kept low-profile with minimal pouches/equipment around the front or back of the armor to avoid mobility issues. The few items he does have are: a weather meter, a laser rangefinder, a lensatic compass, a geiger counter. He wears a makeshift hooded “Ghillie” suit, which was made using the upper part of an old sweater, which now looks more like a cowl, a netted hammock (still functional), and a bunch of attached orange, dark red, cream, brownish orange, and black (fox colours) fabrics. Over his shoulder atop his “Ghillie”, he will either wear his sniper rifle in the open or will have it enclosed in a Sniper Drag Bag - A heavy-duty, padded rifle case that unrolls into a shooting mat. He wears a black leather Battle Belt which has a couple of notches and sayings, including “they’ll have to dig us out like nestled thorns”, “Sometimes, time doesn’t heal a thing”, “Time doesn’t respect what doesn’t respect it.” “The story of how we learned to survive”, “maybe there’s too much we couldn’t face”, “Fire on the innocent and the guilty”, carved into it. This holds his sidearm/holster, extra magazines, dump pouch, a lightweight medical kit (IFAK) and an orange bum flap which sits over his rear. The bum flap has a design on it which looks like that of the cross hairs of a sniper scope, with the words “You're always a target when you're a threat” around the design. He wears a pair of red glass aviator sunglasses, which have a small target design on them held to his face by a glasses chain with small vampire bat charms on them. He wears a deep/dark crimson wire mask over his face, which is a modified dog muzzle. He also wears a deep/dark crimson military scarf around his neck, which he can use to better hide his face when needed. Though if needed for a sniper mission, he would be willing to wear less identifiable (more realistic) camouflage in the field (rural or urban), but currently, his main job isn't stealth; it's intimidation and being a recognized threat. He can also clean up very nicely when needed to attend high-end events with the Codrins.
Rowan did grow up isolated from most outside influences in what was essentially a cult, so his social skills have suffered as a result of it, not to say that he is not charismatic after all; he was raised to be the next leader of the doomsday compound after his father, making him rather charming, charismatic, and confident when he turns the southern hospitality on. He is very skilled when it comes to being manipulative and disarming. Which, along with his time/training with Matchcorp to be Drago’s bodyguard, allows him to comfortably blend in with both the most elegant, snobish, rich billionaires, and the rural right and tumble outcast he grew up around. However, he is naturally a selective introvert who will use his intimidating presence, mercenary streak, willingness to fight (verbal and physical) and body language to prevent people from deciding to communicate with him when he is not in the mood. He would be described by most outsiders who have ended up on his bad side as Strict, Calculating, Sadistic, Intimidating, Stealthy, Cynical, and Strange. However, to those who get to know him, he would be seen as a Strategic, Reliable, Resourceful, Trustworthy, Accomplished, Competent, Protective, and Versatile man. Rowan is an intelligent man, though much of his intelligence is in very specific things; he does strive to continually learn new things which he is able to retain well. He is still very much a conspiracy theorist, which could be considered worse now that he has worked for the government, and currently works for a private military company owned by an elite, which means he knows certain things for sure, so why should the other things be any more outlandish? In addition to this, he has always been superstitious and believed in the supernatural, having grown up in the Appalachian mountains. Both play a small part in his survivalist mentality. Despite all of this, which may make him seem like a bit of a serious hard-ass, he can be rather relaxed, a gentle giant around those he considers part of his “group,” not the task force, but those he would consider saving at the end of the world, even if some of them would likely be the cause. Such as his relationship with the codrins, being summed up as “submissive in the way a livestock guardian dog is submissive”
He is from the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee; he thus has a very thick “mountain man” Tennessee accent.
He was raised by doomsday prepper/conspiracy theory parents who had a doomsday cult in a bunker/compound in the remote area of the Appalachian mountains, which resulted in them being rather removed from the rest of society for much of their younger life.
Was “homeschooled” for most of his life by his parents/the other people in the compound. He is literate. It was just that most of his learning is semi-specialized towards preparing for survival and the end of the world, for example, how to make weapons/ammo, build a shelter, purify water, track/hunt/fish/grow food, barter, combat medicine, etc.
His father was also raising him as his only heir, so he did learn a bit more about the other aspects, such as leadership, charisma, how to read people, how to file taxes as a non-profit organization, etc.
When he was 11, he was cleaning one of the hunting rifles that his father owned when it accidentally fired, shooting him in the mouth, causing great damage to the right side of his face, where part of his cheek is missing. His parents refused to pay for plastic surgery or skin grafting to fix it.
When he was roughly 14, the government shut down the cult, which did end up resulting in a large gun fight, which caused the death of roughly 93 percent of members of the cult.
At age 18, having just been kicked out of the foster care system, he joined the military since he really had nowhere else he could turn, and he was willing to hire a young adult with no education who looked like they had been through hell.
He very quickly rose through the ranks as a sniper due to his ability to shoot, which he had learned from the years of training at the compound. He was also very good at pushing past his own humanity to get missions finished and convincing others in his group of this the means justify the ends ideology.
Despite being known mostly for their sniper skills, they will not hesitate to use other weapons or engage in a fist fight.
Was made a special forces task force member at age 21 due to his skills being quickly considered one of the government's best snipers. Despite being one of the government's best snipers, he is still very distrustful of the government, and why shouldn’t he be? He’s seen what they've been ordered to do.
He would draw the attention of the private military company Matchcorp, which was willing to pay the big bucks to purchase his services, which ended up with him being favoured by Sorian Codrin, the owner of Matchcorp. He was quickly assigned Sorian’s son and heir to Matchcorp Drago Codrin Bodyguard.
Which evolved into Rowan and Drago dating? Will never admit it, but loves being spoiled by his reach boyfriend, getting a taste of insane luxury.
Matchcorp purchased back the land where Rowan’s family’s compound resided and upgraded it for him to be a much more luxurious bunker in the application mountains, which he now spends his vacation days at.
Has way too much knowledge when it comes to the dealings of Matchcorp, but that’s what happens, you accidentally become family, and yes, he does know that they are the apocalypses.
Has designed a couple of the mechanical weapons for Matchcorp, and has access to almost all weapons/systems.
Cursed with the gift of extreme pattern recognition
Though he doesn’t cook very often, mainly due to eating what he can where he can, this man knows his way around a grill and a smoker.
He mainly listens to rock and roll, but not so secretly loves country music, and while most of it focuses on the songs about getting revenge, he does have a couple of other singers he is quite fond of.
Can and will sleep standing up, sitting, or in other really uncomfortable-looking positions like a cat. Though he does love being the big spoon, which, given his Hight makes it very easy.
Avid hunter and occasional fisher. Will use as much of what he kills/catches as possible he can for food and other uses (ex. tanned hides, carved bones) that he learned during his time at the compound.
Drinks Coke Cola with peanuts in it, and his favourite chips are the Lays Original Wavy with the onion dip.
