CHARACTER TABLE.
It's not easy having yourself a good time NAME: Doctor Percival Cox NICKNAME(s): Buddy Boy, Buster Brown, Caesar, Coxinator, Cox of Seagulls, Coxsmith, Jesus H. Cox Md, Mop Top (Only Jordan has permission to call him this), Per-a-rino, Pewwy (Only Jack has permission to call him this), The Big Cheese, Chief Dr. Cox, Numbnuts, Mentor, Big Kahuna, Perry, Per, Coxer, Per-Per, (make note: if you call him anything OTHER THAN Doctor Cox, he will likely not answer.) NAME ORIGIN: PERCIVAL Created by the 12th-century French poet Chretien de Troyes for his poem 'Perceval, the Story of the Grail'. In the poem Perceval was one of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table who was given a glimpse of the Holy Grail. The character (and probably the name) of Perceval was based on that of the Welsh hero PEREDUR. The spelling was perhaps altered under the influence of Old French percer val "to pierce the valley". BIRTHDAY: November 15th AGE: Forty-Seven. HANDWRITING: HERE. MANNER OF SPEECH: Dr. Cox has a tendency to talk down to people, no matter who he is speaking towards. His voice holds no distinct accent, or lilt, but it just one of those voices that oozes with confidence, and authority. He can sound conscending, and he is often heard holding a rather sarcastic tone. When he gets angry, his voice usually stays even toned, just incredibly rude, and icy. I'm not a gangster tonight HEIGHT: 6'2" WEIGHT: 200 lbs. BUILD: Fit, muscular, in shape. EYES: Blue. HAIRS: Brown. DRESS STYLE: Sporty, a lot of ice hockey jersey's, football jersey's, baseball jerseys. A lot of jeans and khakis out of work. Scrub pants at work, along with his medical coat with the cheshire crossing emblem over the right breast. POSSESSIONS: A 'welcome back coxer' t-shirt, that he is damn proud to own. A stethoscope because he never knows when he might need it. His Sacred Heart ID Badge, which is hidden behind his Cheshire Crossing ID badge. A white lab coat with the Cheshire Crossing emblem on left and his name embroidered over the right pocket: 'Perry Cox, MD - PsyD'. I can't decide HOME: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PARENTS: Peter (father), Penelope (mother). SIBLINGS: Paige (Older sister) FINANCIAL STATUS: Well off. HISTORY: Doctor Cox grew up in a rather abusive family in Pittsburgh. His father was an alcoholic, and during his rages it was hard to control him. Knowing that he never wanted to be like his father, Perry gradtuated from college, and recieved degrees, and ultimately became a skilled medical doctor. Being hired at the hospital he interned at - Sacred Heart, Perry became known as one of the hardest doctors to satisfy there. During his time at Sacred Heart he met a woman who was basically the female version of him. Jordan Sullivan was both beautiful, and full of cynicsm, and sarcasm. She could handle Perry's barbs, and rude comments, and then turn it around with just as much spite. About a year later, however Cox legally divorced from Jordan Sullivan but the two have maintained an exclusive "married" relationship together since Jordan discovered she was pregnant. Again, despite his denial about being married to Jordan, the marriage appears to have started out strongly, but went downhill and eventually ended when Jordan slept with Dr. Cox's then-protegé Peter Fisher. During his time at Sacred Heart, Doctor Cox was also assigned a young intern named John Dorian... or as his friends called him JD. Instantly, Perry saw so much in himself with JD, which is really why he started treating JD like crap. Calling him girl's names, and undermining his knowledge, claiming he didn't know anything. When J.D. first meets Jordan, he doesn't know of her and Doctor Cox's relationship, and they sleep together. Eventually Cox finds out, and J.D. is afraid of losing him, but in the end, they get through it. Cox and Jordan divorced shortly after The "Peter Fisher" incident and maintained an acrimonious relationship, which included a settlement involving Cox's paying alimony and agreeing to provide Jordan with sex whenever she wants it. Eventually they rekindle their relationship and continue living together. Ted Buckland, Sacred Heart's lawyer, reveals that the pair are not in fact legally divorced because of a paperwork error. After initially welcoming this change, the two get properly divorced as the revelation was beginning to undermine the positive aspects of their relationship. The two celebrate their divorce and maintain their unusual married-but-not relationship. Perry Cox was also best friends with Jordan's brother, Ben, who was diagnosed with leukaemia. Thanks to Dr Cox, Ben's disease goes into remission.However, soon after that, Ben dies of cardiac arrest while under J.D.'s care. Perry never gets over such a loss, and after much thought decides to leave Sacred Heart in hopes of persuing a carreer where deaths are less likely. Getting hired at Cheshire Crossing, it seems he has not changed all too much, only the location. Yet, it seems a little better without "Penelope" (JD) there, and his second half "Ghandi" (Turk). Cox is able to flourish into a phychiatrist, taking up the role in the hospital as the more blunt, and brutal doctor. It's a bitch convincing people to like you PERSONALITY: Doctor Cox is very much a says it how he see's it. He has been described in past jobs like being Gregory House, his boss - Bob Kelso going as far as referencing him saying, "Oh Perry, you are so edgy and cantankerous; like House without the limp." He is never one to hold back an opinion of someone. Dr. Cox is the sarcastic, bitter and rather cynical. Dr. Cox routinely rants at and belittles all those around him, though his rough treatment of the "newbies" is intended as conditioning for the rigors and horrors of hospital life, as well as an outlet for Cox's frustration in his own life. It is occasionally implied that he is secretly proud of these new interns and thinks they have the potential to become great doctors. OUTWARDLY: Dr. Cox is sarcastic and misanthropic, with a quick, cruel wit. He is also very concerned about the way he is perceived in the hospital, often making very illogical and self-destructive decisions in order to keep his "bad boy" image. He works out extensively and thus is physically fit; he shows off his physique by lounging around his apartment shirtless. INWARDLY: Even though he often complains about his job and calls Cheshire Crossing a "dump", work is one of the only things he truly loves. Despite his brilliance, Cox has failed, for the most part, to rise up the professional ladder because he refuses to accept help from others and will not "play the game". Cox releases his anger once a year, when he flies off the handle about some minor event at work and goes out on a drinking binge, coming back the next day as if nothing had happened. Yet, despite all this anger and rage, he is VERY good at hiding his true feelings, which include: Being deeply effected by his patients. Even if he comes off as a rather abrasive man his cruelty is just so people won't get close to him. He truly does care, underneath all that cynicsm, and sarcasm. FIRST IMPRESSION: Make way for the asshole!! QUIRKS/HABITS/MANNERISMS: When incredibly angry, Dr. Cox has a tendency to rub his nose. He can also sense when someone is standing behind them without having to turn around and check. Perry is also an incredible golf player, often beating his ex-boss Bob Kelso. LIKES: Scotch on the rocks, Sports (Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Steelers), Giving rants, Working out (Especially those that involve abs), Lindsay Lohan , The "Welcome Back, Coxer" shirt, Lee Marvin Movies, Jerome Bettis, the gays; their music, their sense of style, what they've done with Halloween DISLIKES: J.D., Hugh Jackman, Receiving help from others in any form, Dane Cook, Being given nicknames by complete strangers, Republicans, the Republican National Convention, Hope Floats, Being wrong, Emotions, Religion, Shrinks, Losing patients, The Big Discussions, Anyone who adds "izzle" to any word, Private practice doctors, Everything in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions, People who say the phrase "Let's rock and roll" or "I have to rock and roll", The name Perry, People who wear their hands-free phones while not using them, People who call Wednesday "Humpday", Low carb diets, High def TV, Wireless hot spots, the United Nations, getting Punk'd, the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys, Jeff, that darn Wiggle that sleeps too much, the Yankee's payroll, all the red states, all the blue states, Michael Moore, The Bush daughters, Kabbalah, and all Kabbalah-related products, High Def, People not listening to what he has to say, Dermatologists, Every Hybrid Car, Every Talkshow Host, Everything on the planet, Everything in the solar system, Everything STRENGHTS: Despite his obvious hatred for people, and the world Doctor Cox is incredibly intelligent. He knows his medical world, and he knows his diagnoses. WEAKNESSES: The man is obviously not that nice. He has an ego the size of this universe, and his often inflated self worth gets in the way of him actually working to the best degree that he can. I've got to hand it to you OFFICE: A211 PREFERRED METHOD OF TREATMENT: Lots and lots of medication, and a harsh dose of reality. Dr. Cox is never one to hold back his opinion, especially when he questions the diagnosis of a patient. SPECIALIZES IN: Anything really, Doctor Cox loves a challenge, there is a method to his maddness. He can be understanding when it comes to hit work. He likes to work with patients that have both physical ailments due to their mental health. He would prefer more independant patients, ones who aren't too needy, and have low self esteem. INROVERT/EXTROVERT: Depends on the situation. PESSIMIST/OPTIMIST: A complete and utter pessimist. FAITH: Agnostic. PHOBIAS/FEARS: Nothing he would EVER admit. EYESIGHT: Perfect. HEARING: Perfect. LEFT/RIGHT/AMBI: Right. DISABILITIES: None. DRINKS/SMOKES: Excessive drinker. PHYSICAL HEALTH: Perfect. Oh I could throw you in the lake RELATIONSHIP STATUS: A non-commital . SEXUAL PREFERENCE: Very much a heterosexual. PAST RELATIOSNHIPS: Jordan aaaand it ends there.. FRIENDS: --- ENEMIES: --- (These are just a few ideas for SLs, if you have any suggestions or requests, please comment below!) THE J.D.: : ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} open [male preferably] : THE J.D. is the bane of Doctor Cox's existence. He has constantly been abrasive and sarcastic with him. He rarely calls THE J.D. by his real name, but rather by a girl's name. This is his tough-love approach to teaching, but even when they are outside of the hospital, he continues the same mean mannerisms. When his harshness seems to put a little too much pressure on THE J.D., Cox knows when to lay off and has from time to time been supportive. He is not, however, a very good ear to listen to THE J.D.'s problems, for he doesn't seem to care about his personal life, and often mentions that he has enough problems of his own. THE JORDAN: : open [female preferably] THE JORDAN and Doctor Cox are verbally sharp with each other, often insulting each other's sexualities and peculiarities. Although they are not married, it can't be argued that they don't love each other. One reason they work so well together is because they are each other's equals in every way. THE JORDAN would be considered Doctor Cox's love interest.THE DR. KELSO : open [Male perferably] THE DR. KELSO and Dr. Cox have a rivalry that, at times, affects the entire hospital. Dr. Cox is not very fond of THE DR. KELSO thinking about the patients solely by their insurance of pocketbooks. Dr. Cox often yells and rants at THE DR. KELSO about making new rules, but when THE DR KELSO explains his motivation, he has no choice but to live with them.THE ELLIOT: : open [female preferably] : THE ELLIOT is extremely annoying personally and professionally, but knows she is a talented doctor. Dr. Cox has snubbed THE ELLIOT as a mentor as much as he has snubbed J.D., but she doesn't seek his approval as much as she does her parent's. He calls her "Barbie" due to her sometimes ditsy mannerisms. He has never had any big problems with THE ELLIOT.THE CARLA ESPINOSA: notamother : THE CARLA ESPINOSA is one of the only people in Sacred Heart he can stand. Perry sees her as strong willed and empowered, which are factors he needs to see in a woman he wants to date. She would be a possible crush for Perry, and probably the only person he would trust to talk to about his personal life, and tolerate. THE CARLA ESPINOSA is also the ONLY person Doctor Cox calls by their real name. Yet, since a relationship with THE CARLA ESPINOSA is not possible due to the fact that she is taken, he respects her decision, but doesn't mean he will be respectful to whoever stole THE CARLA ESPINOSA's heart.THE TURK: open [Male Preferably] : THE TURK is one person Cox will tolerate. Because he usually sees THE TURK when he is with J.D., he isn't fond of their antics. He has sized up Turk, but has also helped him work out. He sometimes asks THE TURK to be a consult when Cox needs help convincing patients about their symptoms, and to help convince them that he is actually rightTHE JANITOR: open [male perferably] : THE JANITOR is a person he doesn't particularly respect, but they often share moments together. Both THE JANITOR and Dr. Cox seem to be annoyed by J.D., and they share their thoughts sometimes. They don't talk much inside the hospital, to keep up the THE JANITOR's street cred, but they were bar buddies for a while. THE BEN SULLIVAN: open [Male Preferably] : THE BEN SULLIVAN is Dr. Cox's best friend. THE BEN SULLIVAN and Perry enjoyed hugging each other for uncomfortably long periods of time and playing "gay chicken". They are the definition of two best friends. THE DR. GROSS: open [male or female] : THE DR. GROSS is the one and only person Dr. Cox feels comfortable talking to about anything. He knows that THE DR. GROSS will not judge him for his action or beliefs, nor will THE DR. GROSS shun him away in his direst time of need. THE DR. GROSS is accessible as a way to vent without having to listen to protest, and is just willing to listen to Cox's concerns, fears, and a lot of them give him epiphanies in life.OTHER STORYLINES:
