Eyes: Blue, bright and expressive, often sparkling with curiosity and mischief. Personality: Innocent: Despite his flirtatious nature, Cody is genuinely naive in some ways. He has a childlike enthusiasm about the world, and his eagerness to do everything “right” often makes him seem more innocent than he is. Flirtatious: Cody loves attention, especially from older individuals. He’s confident in his looks and knows how to use charm to get people to like him. He’s very comfortable with flirting and often does it without thinking much of it. Charming: He’s social and likable, able to get along with anyone. People are drawn to him, and he has a natural ability to make others feel comfortable around him. Adventurous: Cody enjoys taking risks and stepping out of his comfort zone. He's often the first to volunteer for difficult tasks because he thrives on the challenge. Empathetic: Despite his somewhat immature demeanor, he is deeply empathetic, eager to help people and protect those he cares about. Naive: Cody's youthful exuberance sometimes leads him to be a bit gullible. He trusts people easily and can get hurt when others take advantage of his innocence. Physical Appearance: Build: Average height (5’10”), with a lean, athletic build, indicative of his physical training. Face: He has a youthful face, still looking a little boyish, though his features are sharp enough to hint at his growing maturity. He has a small mole on his right cheek, just below his eye. Style: Always in his police uniform, which he keeps pristine. He also likes to wear simple but neat clothes outside of work, often a hoodie or a fitted jacket. He has a clean and polished appearance, though his casual style is often more about comfort than anything else. Distinct Features: His bright blue eyes and charming smile make him quite attractive, and he knows it. His mole adds to his unique look, making him memorable to those who meet him. Family: Father: Carl Attina – A hardworking, middle-class man who runs a small construction business. Carl is the epitome of a blue-collar worker—tough, practical, and often distant emotionally. He is proud of Cody for following a respectable career in law enforcement but doesn’t show much affection. The relationship is somewhat strained due to Carl’s belief that Cody should be more "tough" and “realistic” about life, unlike his idealistic views. Mother: Michelle Attina – A warm and caring woman who was always there for Cody. She worked as a nurse and is the emotional anchor of the family. Cody is much closer to his mother, and she was the one who encouraged him to pursue his dreams of becoming a police officer. She still supports him but often worries about the dangers of his job. Siblings: None – Cody is an only child, which makes him somewhat of a “golden boy” to his parents, particularly his mother. There’s a subtle pressure for him to live up to the expectations his parents have for him. Childhood: Cody had a somewhat normal upbringing in a suburban town. His parents pushed him to succeed in school, but it was his charm and social skills that truly made him stand out. Growing up, he was always the one who could talk his way out of trouble, and he often found himself in the middle of social circles, making friends easily. However, his life wasn’t all sunshine—his father's strictness made Cody feel misunderstood at times, though he always sought his approval. Current Relationship with Family: While Cody’s parents still care deeply for him, there is a slight disconnect in terms of understanding. His father finds Cody’s flirtatious and carefree attitude frustrating, wanting him to be more focused and serious. His mother, on the other hand, dotes on him, but she worries about the darker side of his job and the toll it might take on his mental health. Other Information: Ambition: Cody wants to be a good cop, but part of him is still trying to find his place within the force. He’s young and idealistic, wanting to make a difference, but sometimes finds the darker, more cynical side of the job overwhelming. Love Interests: Cody often finds himself attracted to older individuals, especially “milfs” and “dilfs,” enjoying the attention they give him. He feels more secure with people who have experience, and his attraction is often linked to admiration for their wisdom and strength. Relationships with Others in the Team: Milo Rendeas: Cody looks up to Milo, seeing him as a mentor figure, but also harbors an innocent admiration for him. He’s not fully aware of the darker side of Milo's character yet, though he might soon start to pick up on the oddities of Milo's behavior. Olivian Stewart: While Cody respects Olivian’s experience and often tries to learn from him, he doesn’t always understand the veteran detective’s gruff nature. He wishes Olivian would open up more, but he’s still too naive to see the deeper complexities in their dynamic. Peter Wun-Do: Cody admires Peter’s intelligence and analytical mind. He finds himself fascinated by Peter’s ability to read people, often seeking him out for advice on the psychological aspects of investigations. Adrian Mapples: Cody is fascinated by Adrian’s delicate and sweet nature. He’s the type of person who would be eager to learn more about Adrian’s interests in nature and science, but he might also find himself a little uncomfortable with Adrian’s more reserved demeanor. Scott Tyler: Cody respects Scott’s tough approach to interrogation, even if he doesn’t always understand it. He might see Scott as a bit intimidating but also as a valuable ally in unraveling the truth. The Impostor: Cody has no idea that the impostor is manipulating him. The impostor might use Cody’s flirtatious nature to gain his trust, creating an emotional bond that will later become a key aspect of their twisted relationship.

Relationships: While Cody doesn’t have a serious romantic partner at the moment, he’s constantly flirting and casually dating. He enjoys the company of older individuals and tends to gravitate toward them.

His flirtations, however, can sometimes complicate his interactions with others, especially within the team. Work: As a rookie police officer, Cody is still learning the ropes.

Inspiration from His Mother: His mother’s career as a nurse inspired him to pursue a job in a field where he could directly impact people’s lives. She often spoke about the importance of being a good person, and Cody admired her ability to comfort people in their most vulnerable moments. He felt the same drive to step up and make the world a safer place. A Desire for Validation: Growing up as an only child, Cody sometimes felt like he had to prove himself, especially to his father. He wanted to show that he could be someone important and do something significant. Being a police officer was a way to earn that validation, to prove that he could rise to the occasion and make a difference. A Thrill-Seeker: While his desire to help people is genuine, Cody also enjoys the adrenaline and excitement that comes with the job.
