Rodrick Heffley

Rodrick Heffley is the semi-aggressive older brother of Greg and Manny Heffley and the drummer and founder of the rock band Löded Diper. He is the oldest brother of the Heffley family. Rodrick Heffley was born to Susan and Frank Heffley in Plainview on the 10th of November Rodrick Heffley attended Westmore Middle School and became friends with Chris Merkle and Ward and they together created the band Löded Diper. He also wrote an assignment called A Hundred Years Ago; this assignment was the reason Frank started to do his homework for him. He used to be a troublemaker in school and was greatly disliked by some of the teachers there, one such person being Mr. Huff. During this time, Rodrick tried out soccer, but quit because of Mr. Litch.Likewise to Greg, Rodrick is not depicted to own any exceptional talents, and his is only portrayed to be passionate in a few interests, distinctly heavy metal music as it occupies most of his spare time and frequently drafts him away from his schoolwork. Rodrick would much preferably sleep than engage in anything productive, an attribute that is visually prominent throughout the series. He has been shown to sleep for 36 hours straight, and whenever Frank compels him to wake him up, he always tries to find a way to override it. As an avid fanatic of heavy metal music, Rodrick is the founder and lead drummer of a band called "Löded Diper." The band's lead singer, Bill, is a 35-year-old unemployed man who still inhabits with his grandmother. This, incorporated with Rodrick's fixation with heavy rock music, makes his parents fear that he will head down a similar path to Bill's in the future.Rodrick is extremely lazy and careless when it comes to school, which elucidates where Greg learns it from. He almost never gets a grade above C-, except for his book reports (where Frank does most of the work due to Rodrick's inability to type). Greg believes that Rodrick is lazy and unintelligent in all other areas, but there are indications that show that Rodrick isn't as dumb as everyone perceives. For one, he is able to con people to reward him greater by setting the bar real low that he can end up surprising anyone by doing the most miniscule thing; for example Frank asking Rodrick to get cleanse of his filthy underwear off the table. Furthermore he manages to get away with not doing chores and homework by irritating his parents to the point where they oblige to his desires. While Rodrick still clearly isn't the smartest in the family academic wise he is still presented to be a bit bright and is just not applying it in the school department.While Rodrick is a bit bright he still struggles in other realms. For example grammar; when they brought Sweetie, Frank obliged Rodrick to buy a dog bowl however he ended up vitiating it as "Sweaty". Also common sense;He thought a safe is a microwave and that bacon comes from pigs in the same way that eggs from chickens.Even though Rodrick is often lazy, mean, careless, and irresponsible, he is shown to have a softer side at times, as seen where he can occasionally treat Greg nicely and get along with each other, Rodrick's somewhat antagonistic role throughout the series is partly stemmed from a case of an unreliable narrator, as Greg has a less-than-ideal relationship with his older brother per their sibling rivalry and thus Greg depicts Rodrick in a highly antagonistic point-of-view. If one looks at Rodrick's behaviour in a more neutral point-of-view, it can be seen that while Rodrick still isn't the most well-behaved teenager (as he is still somewhat mean and very lazy), he is not as bad as Greg depicts him to be. In fact, Rodrick is actually one of the more well-behaved teenagers in the series. While Rodrick pulls pranks and cons his parents, it's mostly harmless (i.e. putting fake vomit on someone's car and getting his parents to reward him greater) and are not outright vandalism like most of the other teenagers pull in the series (i.e. egging and TP'ing someone's house and harassing little kids on Halloween). In some ways, Rodrick can actually be a better person than Greg and perhaps more better than his parents and his youngest brother. It is assumed that he has minor dyslexia as he has trouble with writing and spelling. He may have narcolepsy as well, which would explain his sleeping habits. Rodrick has a bee sting allergy. His myspace username is RockinRodrick1110, He takes place as a 16 year old in 2010. Rodrick Heffley Isn't good with woman and cannot Flirt. He occasionally wears eyeliner as part of his performance makeup. Rodrick tends to get nervous and flustered over the littlest of compliments, especially from girls. Rodrick drives very crazy. Rodrick is rebellious, moody, aloof, nonchalant and edgy, He's hormone addled like every other teenager, having sexy magazines.
