Personality: Now this may be an odd first thing to note about a character, but Cody possesses a remarkable amount of common sense and is very, very competent. Where Cody lives, in Griffin Rock, both common sense and competency is.... optional. Luckily for Griffin Rock they have Cody’s family: Dani, Graham, Kade, and Chief Charlie Burns. Unlike most of Griffin Rock, these guys actually know what they’re doing. Though brave, Cody doesn’t treat danger lightly, he knows as well as anyone that fires, earthquakes, and even storms can mean the potential loss of life. He knows enough not run into dangerous situations blindly, but sometimes it’s really, really hard to avoid those. He has been noted as being very ‘tenacious” by a few adults.
Although not as brilliant as his friend Frankie Greene, Cody still possesses a sharp mind and an ability to figure things out before others. Cody’s leadership skills can be seen throughout the series, as he’s able to come up with a plan faster than most adults and he’s even able to take command of situations his older siblings are involved in. Of course, Cody is still a child so his family fully expects him to stay out of harms way. He still helps where he can, usually from the Command Center where he observes Griffin Rock through cameras scattered throughout the town and offers tactical support to his family. For some reason he can switch the entire island’s power source from the power plant to the wind turbines with a push of a button. What a weird responsibility to give a kid.
Cody was the first, besides his father, to see the Rescue Bots as anything besides mindless robots. He immediately befriended them and started to teach them how to adapt to Earth. To him they’re not Aliens From a Far Away Galaxy, but friends who have lost their home and need to make their new start on Earth. It’s through his own patience and understanding that his siblings and their robot partners eventually learn to get along and work together. He’s proud of what a great team they have become and he hopes nothing changes that.
Despite a few adult responsibilities, Cody is still a child. He enjoys exploring with Frankie, hoverboarding, playing basketball with his siblings, and reading stories to his robot friends. He takes school fairly seriously, but he’ll half-ass his projects if there’s more interesting things to do. He’s responsible, but he’ll sometimes end up in situations where he’s way over his head. Seeing as his family is on call 24/7, Cody understands that they can’t always spend time with them. His dad can’t take him camping because there’s always something Chief Burns has to do. Even when they
do go camping, it’s for something important that needs to be done. It makes him sad, and even a little bit lonely, but he knows that his family has very important jobs, and he’s not about to stand in the way of that.
*
Powers/Abilities: Cody has a pretty basic knowledge on most survival skills. He can take care of himself if he’s lost in the wild just fine, and he knows basic first aid. He’s shown to be a smart kid, resourceful, and a surprisingly strong leader, as he’s able to take control of the situation before most of the adults. On an island full of people who lack common sense, Cody has more than his fair share. Also he can hoverboard like a pro.
Otherwise he’s a perfectly ordinary human.
*
Inventory: Cody has nothing but the clothes on his back, and maybe his comm. Which is largely useless.

Starting Polarity: Hmm you can choose :|a
If AU, how does your character differ from canon?: Nope
Writing Samples*
First Person Sample: [
Cody coughs a little, nervous but determined to do this. At the same time he feels some sort of cool confidence ]
My friends are missing, and I would appreciate some help finding them. I need some volunteers to help me organize a search party. Both ground and aerial support needed for this so... please. I need your help.
[
Is there really anyone out there who will take him seriously? He is just a kid after all, and no matter how authoritative he makes his voice sound, there’s no getting around that. However, his dad always said that you should try no matter what, and Cody isn’t the type to give up just because there’s one or two obstacles in his path.]
*
Third Person Sample: “Dad?”
Cody called out, sitting up and glancing around uneasily. This was definitely not Griffin Rock. He stood up and shivered, hugging himself out of a mixture of chilliness and fear. This place doesn’t look anything like Griffin Rock, where washe? Maybe he’s dreaming? If that was the case, then this was probably one of his most boring dreams. He shook his head and immediately tried to contact someone through his comm link.
“Kade? Dani? Graham? Anyone! Heatwave?”
No answer.
Well, he could either stand here and shout uselessly at his dead comm link or try to find food, water, and shelter. Determination spread across his face as he started trudging forward. He didn’t know where he was or why he was here, but first thing he had to do was find a way to survive. There had to be
something around here he could use. Food would be nice, but shelter and water were what he concentrated on the most.
After half-an-hour of walking across the rocky landscape, Cody concluded that shelter was going to be the only thing he was going to find. If only the stars would give him some clue. He stopped for a moment and looked up at them. Cody knew how to identify constellations pretty well, but nothing up there looked even remotely familiar. Was he even on earth anymore?
This place was so lonely.
He really wished his dad was here.
Final Notes: None!
