## Appearances

### Debut

Day One

Fox Cooper, known mostly by his nicknames Foxy and Foxy the Pirate, is a main character and member of The Gang. Prior to the outbreak, Fox was a respected software engineer created by the company Nivacon in October of 1998. Fox was programmed to perfection, granting him a human conscience. Fox got married to his longtime girlfriend at age 24, planning to spend his life with her. When Nivacon finds themselves cutting out employees, Fox unfortunately ends up being one of them. His wife, Roxanne, spends some time with him before leaving to get groceries. The outbreak happens not even ten hours after, and suddenly Fox has to fend off his zombified wife when she turns not long after arriving back home. Fox's intelligence and strength, as well as compassion, make him a valuable survivor and someone to fight alongside. He meets up with his co-worker Chica, a fellow human-robot, who states she's met a scientist that is partly responsible for the outbreak - But he promises a way to stop the outbreak, leading Fox to join them. Whilst heading into town, they find another survivor named Michael Myers, who agrees to come along with them. Fox forms a strong bond with the four of them.

During the Dark Wood storyline, Fox is at his worst before the outbreak; but it seems to give him a second wind. Fox fights, strategizes and steps up as the most supportive person in the group. He saves Michael twice and accompanies Niko back into the lab during the self destruct sequence to find Samantha. When Chica dies, Fox appears to be back at his worst again, showing a great deal of emotion upon learning his friend didn't make it.

### Fall In Death plotline

Foxy teams up with Niko after the crash to regroup with Michael and the co-pilot, Jinx Lanes, during the storm. Fox takes a larger role as a leader during multiple episodes when the rough weather picks up. He helps lead the group through the Arch Labs facility and rushes to Jinx and Michael when they're attacked collecting the gear cogs for the cable car. Foxy's strategic ideas greatly help the group out, such as the Molotov path to cut the infected off from reaching the elevator in Fallen Lab.

Foxy takes Michael's sacrifice in Fall In Death the hardest, due to not being over the death of Chica and unable to handle losing more people. Fox attempts to leave the cable car but Niko stops him. When the remaining survivors reach the bottom of the mountain, Fox lies in a patch of snow.

### City of The Dead plotline

Foxy is the one to hotwire and drive the car that takes The Gang to Atlanta. Foxy convinces Niko to take a chance on survival there, believing there to not be many other options left. Fox is the one to invite Tenko to tag along with the group and is also the one to discover the sewer route leading into the mall.

Fox plays a large role in the defense against the Nemesis type infected, burning one to death via an elaborate plan. Foxy is the first to get onto the helicopter, helping to swiftly pull Tenko in with him.
