-- PERSONALITY !

-- SELFISH:

It's natural for an only child born in Upper Class New York to be selfish, it's the way they were raised. However, Bennett decided to take selfishness to a whole new level. Throughout his life Bennett has always asked "What's in it for me?" If someone couldn't help him, he couldn't help them, and so on. Even if he's dating someone, Bennett is always going to be in a relationship with himself. Doing what he wants to do, eating what he wants to eat, and cheating with whomever he finds at a local bar. Even when he was a child, and his teacher wanted to get him into sports to show him teamwork. He began to play lacrosse and excelled at it, and when he was twelve, his team made it to the championship. Bennett was about to score the championship winning goal when his teammate fell and couldn't pass the ball in time. Bennett went nuts and screamed at the poor boy, even as he was being treated for a sprained ankle. To this day, Bennett still blames said kid for them losing that oh so important game.

-- EGOTISTICAL:

There's no one in the world who's as good looking or as wealthy as Bennett, at least in his eyes. He believes that he deserves the finest things in life, and he always has. When he was a child, Bennett received everything in his wildest dreams with the snap of a finger. When Bennett would see other people on the street, whether they just be poor or homeless he didn't see a point in conversing with them or helping them. His parents taught him the difference between wealthy and not wealthy, how the rich were superior to the poor. Bennett gained the mindset of superiority, and decided that there were many things below him. Sadly, Bennett taught himself that the only way to be recognized was to wear flashy clothes and have expensive belongings. He never quite learned that it's what inside that counts.

-- IRRESPONSIBLE:

Bennett has never worked a day in his life. He never even did his homework, he paid off others to do it for him. At a young age, his parents learned that they couldn't trust him with much. Small tasks would not be accomplished and money would disappear. His parents thought that it was just pure stupidity, but Bennett was actually outsmarting them. He would slack on the minor things so that he was never given any responsibilities, so he could do whatever he wanted. His smarts were wasted, you could say. Bennett was once told that the only things he could excel at were spending, sports, and drinking. Instead of taking that as in insult, Bennett took it as a compliment. In some ways he wanted to be that guy that nobody could trust. Perhaps he was afraid of being trusted for fear of disappointment?

-- HISTORY !

Bennett Landon Cooper was a big deal before he was even born. His parents were living in New York when they decided that they wanted to have a child. Cymbeline Cooper didn't wanted to ruin her body by the perils of pregnancy and childbirth, so they hired a surrogate. Since surrogacy is illegal in New York, so they hired a surrogate Florida where Bennett was legally born. However, documents were forged and things were moved and Bennett was now born in New York City. His parents were determined to make him New York royalty and you couldn't be royalty without being born in your kingdom. As a child, Bennett was the center of attention and got everything he wanted. For several years he tried desperately to be close to his mother. He would see pictures of his mother and was confused as to why she didn't have a big belly like the other kid's mothers. But, Cymbeline never had time for her son and perhaps that's one of the reasons that Bennett is the way that he is.

When Bennett was about eleven, his parents were tired of going to the Hamptons for the summer and they happened upon Capeside. They rented out an apartment near the beach and Bennett quickly fell in love with the town. He spent almost all of his time at the beach, playing around in the waves and relaxing in the sand. He would spend nights trying to convince his parents to move to Capeside permanently but they refused. As a teenager, he gave up on his dreams of his family living there. He focused on lacrosse, and had dreams of being a professional lacrosse player. Bennett had never really wanted anything that bad. When he was sixteen, college scouts came to his school to see if he could make it in college lacrosse. This game was going to decide the rest of his life. However, tragedy struck. In the middle of the game he was tripped by an opposing player an ruptured his Achilles Tendon. His tendon was torn so bad that he was told by the doctors that he couldn't play lacrosse again.

After the news broke, Bennett was the lowest he had ever been. All he needed was someone to help him through the hard time of his dreams being crushed. He looked to his "friends", his parents, his chick of the week. Nothing. Bennett's personality took on a new high and he turned to drugs and alcohol. He was in with the underground crowd of New York, with the best parties, best drugs, and best looking women. Bennett became accustomed to this lifestyle and began to not do well in school. However, he still got into Yale because of his parent's money and his father's donations. He didn't change, and was kicked out mid freshman year for possession of drugs. His father was horrified that he had defaced his father's alma mater. Bennett spent more time in New York before he had an idea to come to Capeside and see if he could stir something up, he was getting bored in the Big Apple.

-- SAMPLE !

It was a typical morning for Bennett Cooper. The sun was shining through the dust covered curtains on his windows, making a funny shape on his bedroom floor. Several pillows were scattered in a pile next to his bed, along with a random girl's red bow panties. His alarm clock read 11:00 am, and a techno song began to blast from the electronic clock. Bennett's leg moved, drawing a bit of his sheet from the naked body sprawled out on the king sized bed. He smacked the snooze button on the alarm clock and settled back to resume his slumber when the phone began to ring. After ringing and ringing, the machine clicked and his father's voice filled the apartment. "Bennett, your grandmother wants you to give her a call and wish your cousin a happy birthday. She turned eighteen, and please no tickets to Canada so she can drink. My sister would kill me." Beep. Bennett rolled over and looked to see if there was someone beside him. He had no such luck.

Ho hum, pig's bum. Bennett actually preferred waking up alone. He arose from the bed and pulled on a pair of boxers from the floor. They smelled clean enough. Before the techno music could begin again, he disabled the alarm and itched his arm before going into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and pulled off the boxers, waiting for the water to warm up. He began thinking about the message his father left, and the conversations that they'd had since he moved to Capeside. They fought more than usual, and last night they had had a screaming match over the phone. Bennett felt the water before stepping into the shower and letting the warmth regenerate his body. He leaned his hand against the shower wall and could hear his father's voice in his head. You're just a typical spoiled rich kid, Bennett. You have no respect for me or your mother! It took everything in Bennett not to retort that his mother had no respect for his father, she was cheating on him after all. However, Bennett wanted to go out that night and didn't feel like dealing with unearthing his family's secrets at that time.

He began to smother his hair with shampoo and snorted at the idea of him being a typical rich kid. What a joke. Bennett was not one of those idiots who only wanted to be their fathers and own the family company. So what if he was unemployed and living off of his parents? Bennett was merely waiting for some way to get back into sports. He would play lacrosse again, and go back to kicking everyone's ass in the sport. Bennett stepped out of the shower and dried himself up before putting on some jeans and a t-shirt. He went onto the balcony and thumbed through his cell phone. There were several texts from some girl telling him how much fun he was. Perhaps he would hook up with her tonight, it's not like he had anything else to do.
