Distinguishing Marks: I've got more tattoos than I care to count. To name some: my favourite equation along my chest, a hammer in my neck, chinese symbol for life on my back, a Fijian trible symbol also on my back, my past away cousins name on my wrist, and more. They are mostly singular words or phrases, some of them in English and some of them not. I used to have more piercings as well, but I'm just left with my nose piercing for now.
Chris stands quite tall with 6'2" in height and with his dreads all over the place he's a sight to see. He has an oval shaped face with small, brown eyes, an average nose and when he smiles he has very thin lips. He has fairly large ears, but since they are mostly hidden behind his hair, nobody would notice. He is thin built and usually wears the most comfortable clothes he can find. Simple shirts, shorts and flip flops rather than real shoes. He would only wear normal shoes when he is out on his skateboard.
He does wear a lot of accesoires like wrist bands and necklaces. He has done so for as long as he can remember and he has built up quite the collection. If he could he would walk around shirtless most of the time for comfort, but something about school rules (blah, blah) forbids him from doing so.
PERSONALITY
Chris is a generally quiet person that prefers his own company more so than others. He can become invisible in a room with others, just because he would be the only one not speaking.
Because of his desire to be alone he has built up his hobbies around this. His skateboarding, surfing, painting and even his field of study, engineering, are mostly done by yourself, without the need of anyone else around. What most people don't know however, is that Chris has already come a long way if you consider where he started. He used to be alone constantly and was only able to tolerate his family and his cousin. When more people would show up, he would leave. Now, at least, he can be in a room with many others, he won't say much, but he won't leave either.
Chris was in trouble with the law on several occasions, although he doesn't really see it as trouble. He used to make a lot of graffiti art, which according to the police is illegal. He was always in the assumption that it is not illegal if it's beautiful. Ever since he was with his (now ex-) girlfriend, he has stopped doing this.
People tend to tell him their secrets, he has often been called a great listener. Maybe they think that because of his quiet personality, he will not tell anyone. Just to be clear he really wouldn't, but how do they know that. He often thinks he should just tell one or two of these secrets to someone else, just so people will stop bothering him with these things.
For Chris it is important that everyone should enjoy their life while they can. From experience he knows that you can not stop someone from dying, no matter how hard you try.
Most people would see Chris as quiet, dependable (although often late for some reason), a bit anti social and smart guy.
Likes: Skateboarding, computer software, ice cream, orange juice, the beach, solving equations, being outside at night, sea food, reading
Dislikes: Crowds, impolite people, broken earphones, hot beverages, people who don't control their kids in a mall, kids in general, sports, clowns and balloons
Role: Let's just say I hang up the christmas lights at our house.
Major: Working on my Masters in Engineering.

Chris was born in the beautiful state of California to Junnior Garcia and Angela Cooper. From his fathers side he can claim that he is at least a very small part Peruvian, greatly deluded though. For as long as he can remember his cousin from his mothers side has lived with them. She is more a little sister than a cousin to be honest. He is barely older than she is, but he always felt incredibly protective of her. She was a sickly girl to say the least and kids can be cruel with such delicate information. He would get into fights on a regular basis if they called her a name, or made fun of her. When his parents would come to school to pick him up from school after such fights, he never wanted to talk. His parents suspected, but could never confirm why he got into so many fights.
His behaviour made him an outcast in school. Truth be told, he did not mind at all. He did most things on his own and spend all his time this way. He would spend his time outside in skateboard parks or at the beach. He basically thought himself to surf and the water was his best hiding spot. Ever since he has learned boarding and surfing he always has had this grin on his face. During these activities he met new people who he would tolerate, but never let close. He enjoyed the graffiti he saw everywhere in the city. He liked it when it was artistic, when it displayed great talent. Eventually he bought spray cans himself and started creating art himself, and he was good. The police has caught him on numerous occasions and he told them and his parents the same excuse over and over again:"But look at it, it's beautiful."
During the summer 4 years ago Chris met his first girlfriend. After an amazing summer the worst thing happened, after suffering from a serious disease his cousin died. Feeling distraught, lost and without purpose he just left together with his girlfriend. They went to the Netherlands and lived their for two years. They both started studying and working simultaneously. They stayed there for 3 years before the relationship started to show cracks. They were way to young to have such a serious relationship, they were basically a married couple before either of them reached the age of 18.
They bought their tickets back to California and parted ways minutes after arriving. Chris went back to his parents, and having found out that school doesn't disagree with him he applied to university. He got into the Mechanical Engineering program at Berkeley and has enjoyed the campus life for a while now.
