Character Information
WEAPON'S NAME: Chroma Spark and Solar Rage
WEAPON'S HISTORY: A pair of combat gloves designed to emulate dust weaponry within the lack thereof. Ripped straight from the purest of genius, and only designed because he ran out of dust, Cooper crafted these gloves in order to best protect himself and others. Essentially, because he went to Signal, he needed to work with what he had available to him, and made this weapon at the last second when he learned they wouldn't be handing out default weapons he could practice with. He's fine tuned them for a great many years now, and worked out any of the kinks inherent in its design.
UTILITY & APPEARANCE: They are an assymetrical duo of gauntlets which were technically developed for individual use apart, but completely work in tandem to make Cooper a veritable war machine. Chroma Spark is what is mostly doing the tricks, as its design makes it very important to him. That said, it utilizes a super battery that Cooper developed, which is wired to all the systems, holding 1 million volts. His neurological band wraps around his arm, and enhances his reflexes and speed, making Cooper capable of operating on levels leagues above normal, as well as enhancing his strength. The battery is hooked up to the front part of the fist which lets him effectively Thunderpunch his foes. This all said, his battery can hold up for a long time, but not forever.
Solar Rage is a whole new beast, running purely on a heat-battery which is solar powered. Usually kept under a heatlamp in its off time, Cooper uses it to heat up his punches, and even for melting metal through prolonged contact. He can also cause flames to emit from the forefists, allowing him to burn his foes, thanks to a fuel container which can be filled with either Red Dust powder or flammable fluids. At its best he can blast huge balls, cones, and lines of flames. That said, such feats really drain the heat battery. Said battery, of course, works and lasts best during the day time, in hot areas. This weapon can absorb heat-based attacks, though not their entirety, just an amount he can grab. Essentially he has a heatproofed hand while this is on.
Normally he wears Chroma Spark on his right hand, and Solar Rage on his left.
ALLIANCE: Hunter
HISTORY: Cooper was born and raised in Signal Academy. That's what he says, but it's not really like that. He was born in town, and raised by a teacher at Signal. His parents were very acclaimed hunters trained at Beacon and everything, who settled down and had Cooper after a very successful career. Unfortunately, success had them placed as targets for crime syndicates, and Cooper's lucky to be alive after a year of life.
Luckily, another hunter was teaching at Signal, and happened to be a friend of theirs, allowing Cooper to grow up in the presence of a lot of hunters all the time. He was surrounded, not just by skilled fighters, but by unique, personalized weaponry. Signal was famous for each student making their own weapons, and thusly Cooper was always checking out the coolness of everyone's stuff. Flame swords, dust foils, guns of all sorts. Dust was a big thing, but so were alternative energy sources. Cooper kept track of weapons schematics and designs and became a genius.
That said, he was a young genius, so he started Signal very early. It was practically elementary school for him. That said, he didn't realize he wouldn't be getting a proxy weapon because of his age, so he freaked out and quickly scrapped together a pair of prototype weapons, see above. With these prototypes, and later models, he aced entire exams, destroyed tests of skill thought impossible, and was praised by people twice, even thrice his age at the time. So no surprise he managed to get into Beacon without issue. Cooper was even offered early access, but declined both because his mom wouldn't let him and because he didn't need to become a social oucast by becoming the first twelve year old to enter beacon, so he finished Signal, and moved on to Beacon almost the very next week.
PERSONALITY: Cooper is an upbeat, quirky, and confident individual, who's youth is betrayed by his intellect. First looking at him, you'd suspect he was a brat or something, and to an extent, you'd be right. Raised to be a hunter he is bad at speaking with people on less than a professional level. That said, his manner of speaking can make his opposites feel uncomfortable. He only really has a couple means of conversing, his usual topics are only really weaponry design and function, combat, achievements, glory. He likes to think every huntman should be like him in this.
That aside, he is young and malleable. He's very open to ideas and such, people can shape his personality. Thusly he can be friends with the worst of bullies, the brightest of minds, the coolest of the cool and everything and everyone in between. Cooper is almost unable to decide right from wrong sometimes, and therefore acts erratically and unpredictably in various situations. He sort of reacts to people on that youthful moral area between blue and orange. When something is nice to him, he likes it, and when it's mean to him, he dislikes it. Simple as that.
In a fight, he uses his brilliance against his foes. Even unarmed, he uses his environment and abuses obvious weaknesses. He's well studied, knowing the properties of all manner of grimm, weapons, and machinery. Thusly he seeks out how to best them when studying, and hopes to use it in combat. It is rare he'd lose to the same foe twice.
SEMBLANCE: Neuro-Electricity
His semblance is something he was born with, which gave him the idea for his weapon, Chroma Spark. Neuro-Electricity allows him to generate sustain an electric current in his body to enhance all of his physical properties. To do so requires a great deal of chemical energy, basically food, for him to perform with, and thusly his semblance will leave him very hungry after prolonged use. He may also use this neuro-electricity for other purposes, like shocking foes like an eel, or even arcing it to foes nearby. He can also use it for stuff like short-circuiting things, frying toxins and parasites in his body, ionizing chemicals, stuff like that.
