Re: Dr. Sheldon Cooper | Big Bang Theory | reserved 2/?
Fandom: The Big Bang Theory
Character Notes:
History:
Sheldon’s humble beginnings start on a farm in Texas. Cooper lived with a very religious family. This proved rather difficult as everyone in Texas but him was a creationist and Sheldon was not.
Like most nerds, Cooper was bullied, for his superior intelligence as well as being chased by a deranged cat. His only friends, well rather imaginary colleagues, were all that Sheldon had besides his family. When Sheldon was young he often hoped that the Enterprise, from Star Trek, would come and take him away from this forsaken place called home.
Despite all of this, Cooper tried to provide free electricity to his town in Texas by storing uranium in yellow cake, however the U. S. government found out as Sheldon tried to order the uranium online and they have a chat with little Cooper. Sheldon then proceeded to go lock himself in his room and build a death ray.
Some time later, Sheldon spent eight and a half hours traveling to Comic Con on public transit to meet his idol Will Wheaten and get his autograph. When Cooper got there he found out Will Wheaten had cancelled at the last second and Sheldon vowed revenge.
After having had completed the 5th grade Sheldon went off to college for four years and then spend another four years working on his thesis. During his years in college, Sheldon had to endure his father’s football talking. His father died at a later time for unknown reasons. At age 14 and a half he won a Stevenson award – and is the youngest person to receive that award.
At 15, Sheldon started graduate school. When he was 16, Sheldon received his first doctrine.
Dr. Cooper was employed at the California Institute of Technology, as he focused in the theoretical physics, especially String Theory.
Sheldon met Leonand and the two become best friends, after Cooper saved Leonard’s life by tossing Leonard’s experimental rocket down the elevator shaft, as Sheldon saw Leonard put in extremely unstable particles.
Howard Wolowitz and Dr. Raj Koothrappali like Leonard and become Leonard’s friend and inadvertently Sheldon’s friends as well.
When Sheldon first met Penny, he wanted nothing to do with her. It was his roommate Leonard, whom wanted to be more neighborly for his own reasons. Sheldon quickly catching on that Leonard just wanted to have sex with Penny or was hoping for the chance. Since they’re never neighborly, Penny quickly created a no Sheldon at her door before 11am rule which of course Sheldon follows and is there at her door knocking at 11am sharp.
Finally, Sheldon is currently in a relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler, whom Sheldon met though internet dating thanks to Howard and Raj.
Personality:
First and foremost, Sheldon suffers from Asperger's syndrome. As Bernadette states, “Sheldon doesn’t know when he’s being mean because a part of his brain that should know is getting a wedgie from the rest of his brain.” Which is why Sheldon is a jerk hole but in his eye, making snippy and downgrading remarks is raising that person up. Such as to Howard, whom doesn’t have a Doctrine he comments that, "I never said you weren’t good at what you do. I just said what you do isn’t worth doing."
As well as going on with psychotic rants, which usually happens with subjects such as horoscopes and magic. Both of which he finds ridiculous.
Cooper is also rather egoistical, like how he comments on how he has an IQ that can’t be measured on any chart because it’s that high, as well as referring to himself as a superior human, to the extent that Stephen Hawking and him are the only human beings on Earth and the rest of mankind are just dogs. Not to mention Sheldon is far too evolved to learn to drive.
He does show kindness in his own strange ways. For example:
Lending Penny the money she needs for her apartment rent.
Letting Raj work with him so Raj isn't deported back to India.
Or when he's reminded of Spock's dying words, "The needs of the many, outweigh the need of the few or the one." Cooper will assist.
Cooper has also been known to come off like a robot, which some of his own friends question. However, when Penny broke her arm and Sheldon had to take her to the hospital, Penny states that Sheldon, "Totally is a robot but you're like a Wall - E robot. You come off cold but you can save a plant and get fat people off chairs." Granted this doesn't happen more towards season 3 as Penny influences this.
Sarcasm and social situations are something that baffle Cooper time and time again, however as the seasons progress, around season three, Sheldon with a lot of aid from Leonard, begins to grip sarcasm better and when he thinks he hears sarcasm, goes, “Was that sarcasm?” As if he’s making sure he’s calling the tone right. Whereas Sheldon, if he’s pulling your leg or being sarcastic rather, he’ll have a short pause and go, “Bazinga”. Loosely translated means, got you.
As Sheldon gets more involved with Penny and Penny develops a relationship with Leonard, he begins to understand social situations more from observation and sometimes questions what he should do when he's in a social situration he does not understand. He has learned things such as that sex is a better positive reinforcement then chocolate. As far as the idea of sex goes, up till Sheldon is dating Amy Farrah Fowler, and they experiment a social science of gossip, the juicy one the lie of her and Sheldon having had sex, at the end of the experiment, Cooper comments to Amy that he’d like to try that, to which she replies she’s not ready. Before that Sheldon’s view on sex is that it’s messy and usually calls Howard out on the other man’s natural urges getting in the way, "Once again, foiled by your own sexual urges." Out of four groups of friends, Leonard, Rja, Howard and Sheldon. Cooper expresses the least interest in acting out sex and has a fascinating time observing his friends and their mating process between his friends and their mates. As Sheldon states one time with Leonard and Penny:
"Interesting. Sex acts as better positive reinforcement then chocolate.. I wonder if anyone else has stumbled upon this."
Another social element Sheldon slowly learns over time is hugging or rather the apparent moment and length. So far, the only time Cooper has hugged anyone was Penny, when she gave him an autographed napkin with saliva from Leonard Nimoy.
Not good at making friends, the only reason he has Howard, Raj and Penny is because of Leonard. So, Cooper makes a Friendship Algorithm, which actually works.
Cooper also shows obsessive compulsive disorders, when he knocks on Penny’s apartment door, it’s always in three’s and always with the same time lapse between the knocks.
Sheldon even cleans Penny’s apartment after seeing how much of slop she is... He goes to clean her apartment during the middle of the night… While she was sleeping, in which Leonard comments:
“Did it ever occur to you, not everyone has the compulsive need to sort or organize and label the entire world around them?”
In which Sheldon simply answers, “No.”
Sheldon also has to have dinner at exactly a certain time or fears a bowl movement during the day at work, rather than before.
This can carry on to the point where you may just want to kill Sheldon.
Cooper is determined to disprove anything that is considered magical. Even a simple game of card tricks, which Sheldon spends an episode on, disproving Howard's illusion of being able to pick out Sheldon's card. In the end of course it was a hoax but Sheldon never figured how Howard and Raj drove the man up the wall.
Despite being a Theoretical Physicist, Sheldon loves his comic books, video games, movies, TV shows and anime. Considering his decor in his apartment of action figures and statues and his Flash and Spock Halloween costume. Where Cooper also LARPS, live action role plays Flash and Spock.
His most notable action figure is his Spock action figure that 'talks' to Sheldon and his very extension comic book collection, some of which he even keeps in a safety deposit box at the bank.
Cooper has begged three times in five seasons:
- That Babylon 5 be cancelled at the network
- The FireFly wasn't cancelled to the network
- That Howard let him meet Stephen Hawking
He also online roleplays, War of Witchcraft and has a level 92 Rogue Night Elf and his Sims world that is called Sheldonopolis.
He also loves his retro Nintendo video games even if also plays Halo.
Remember he's a Theoretical Physicist, who studies String Theory as Sheldon states, "I subscribe to the idea of many universes. There however is not one out there that has a Sheldon Cooper, who dances."
The line between genius and insanity is clearly a thin one.
Dr. Cooper is also rather arrogant. As Sheldon claims, as he refers to Isaac Newton and states, "Though, gravity would had been apparent to me without the apple."
Interestingly enough, Sheldon does have a dark side to him. Though Leonard does remark that Sheldon is, "One lab explosion away from being a villain."
This is mainly seen with Cooper's hatred of Wil Wheaton, whom cheated Sheldon out of an autograph, that he as a boy spent eight hours on public transit, despite his disgust of public transit and germs, to get his autograph only to find out Wil Wheaton canceled on the convention, Cooper even remarks in Klingon, to Wheaton, "Revenge is a dish best served cold."
Cooper is childish when things don’t go his way. For example, Sheldon threatens to quit the Physics team simply because they want to be called the Beagle Loins over the Army Ant and when Sheldon is kicked off the team for not being a team player, something else he has an issue with. He'd rather lose then win because one of his new teammates he told to be quiet during the whole time, spoke an answer and the correct answer at that, to which Sheldon himself did not know the answer too. In other words, he’s a sore loser and even sorer winner. When he’s sick, he’s whiney and demands people take care of him. Finally, Cooper may randomly remark, at some times, "I need to pee pee."
If Sheldon has any emotions, they lie subconsciously. When he and his best friend Leonard are having an argument, Sheldon has no bowl movements and developments insomnia.
In short, Sheldon Cooper is rather odd and everyone in his world has a different theory on what is wrong with him.
*String Theory, basically is the idea that every probable outcome is possible. So, if that outcome doesn't happen in the current universe. It is happening in another universe.
For example, there's a universe, in theory, where 65 million years ago, the asteroid did not collide with Earth and thus dinosaurs did not go extinct. In fact, there's a universe out there, in theory, where you weren’t even born.
Yes, this is a real theory.

First Person (entry type):
[accidental video]
[There’s a picture of a rather slim and pale face guy with wide blue eyes, who at the moment is intently focused on something, as he’s punching keys on the computer keyboard rather timely. Not to mention the head set he has on.]
What’s this? Dramadramaduck? Which of you hacked my internet? Koothrappali. Wolowitz. Leonard Now, come on. I’m your game master and as your game master I’d appreciate it if you didn’t bump me off during a quest.
Pissed someone off lately, I do not piss people off. I merely raise them higher from their current position so they can be an improved human being.
Now what do ducks have anything to do with being dramatic? That is unless, it’s a website dedicated to Daffy Duck or the less famous Plucky Duck, neither of which are resembled correctly in this layout but I do have to say, this design is very similar to my adhesive ducks. I didn’t click on it. The site just came up during War of Witchcraft.
My IQ is immeasurable by current IQ tests… Of course I had the pop up blocker on.
[click click click]
[presses crl +alt+delete and clicks task manager] Leonard. Leonard. Leonard. The force quit isn’t working. Fix it. Windows Vista how I loathe you and how not user friendly you are.
Strange… I have a user name on this forum board… [Looks off camera for a moment]
Third Person:
Dr. Cooper is working on some Quantum chromo dynamics in his and Leonard’s apartment. That is when Sheldon notices something is off… He pauses in his work. What could it be? Certainly not the lack of human company, he imitates laugher to himself. The temperature of the room was the standard seventy – eight degrees.
Cooper continues to scan the apartment till he sees what has been bugging him. Just adjusting from his seat; the portrait of Steven Hawking on the wall is angled slightly to the right. One of Cooper’s eyes twitch. As Sheldon takes the picture frame off the wall he discovers, "I told Leonard thumb tacks are a poor substitute for nails." If you want something done right do it yourself, "I’m amazed Leonard has a P.H.D. sometimes.”
Cooper stretches his facial expression during that talk to himself as he walks across the apartment to a table and opening that drawer on the table. Before discovering they’re out of sticky corners.
"Alright, there has to be some similar bonding agent in this apartment.” Because he was not going to be able to focus on his mathematical equations before he found something to fix that lean. Sheldon searches for scotch tape, clay and adhesive. Finally, Sheldon goes across the hallway and knocks on his neighbors’ door, "Penny." Pause. "Penny." Pause. "Penny. I need you to give me a ride to the store it’s urgent. The portrait with Stephen Hawking inside is leaning at a thirty degree angle and I can’t focus till it’s fixed."
Rejected
I struggled over this, but I feel I have to reject the application. Given Sheldon's high IQ and the way he talks, as well as all of the scientific concepts that he constantly uses, I feel it's important that the player have a pretty strong grasp of the sort of vocabulary that he would have, at least well enough to be able to research the words and use them correctly in an application (not to mention his posts).
Please feel free to reapply.
