[color=f26522][b]Background[/b][/color]
He is half Native American, part Asian, part Caucasian.  He has no idea of tribe, etc.  He was orphaned and abandoned.  After getting bounced around he ended up getting taken in as a foster kid, later adopted.  He met his foster parents, who later adopted him while run from truant officers.  He had run into the back of the kitchen from the back alley and ran into her.  She took one look at the kid who started to look for a weapon.  She paralyzed him with that look and asked him if he would rather used to have a meal to eat or cut a person.  His hesitation was enough.  So was the rumble his stomach made.  The kitchen did smell great.  She ordered him to wash up before she showed him how to make a simple soup.   

His foster mother runs a Cajun - Asian Food court - indoor dining / carry out.  She got sued for the name of her store by a star restaurant by that name.  She herself as a mix of African - American and Asian.  His foster father was Asian and ran an auto shop.
 
His father is now a vegetable from an "accident" involving carbon monoxide and carelessness.  He refused to pay extortion money.  The same gangs are charging heavy extortion rates to the restaurant.
 
The cops involved are on the take for the mafia.  They hate the kid.  Cody dropped out of school after 8th grade to help run the restaurant so his mother could care more for his father.  Cody also works part time at the auto shop.
 
His Uncle (father's brother) was the prodigy of the family and built a solar research think tank out in Arizona.  He has since hired a CEO to run his business in his absence and moved to New Orleans to help the family.  He took up homeschooling his nephew.  It was that, or force Cody to go back to school.  Cody opted for homeschooling.

[color=f26522][b]Personality[/b][/color]
So as you can imagine Cody has a few chips on his shoulders.  First of all he is overly sensitive about his Native American heritage.  Truth is he knows next to nothing about it.  He has a chip on his shoulder about privileged people.  He has a chip on his shoulder about education.  He has a chip on his shoulder about cops being dirty.  As often as he has been harassed, can you blame him?

But once you get past all the chips, Cody is a very kind individual.  He loves cooking.  He loves mechanics.  He’s hardworking and responsible.  He is accustomed to getting up before the sun rises to prep the restaurant for the day .. and staying to clean up at the end.  He is a natural chef, creative without even trying hard.

[color=f26522][b]Other stuff[/b][/color]
Cody speaks several asian languages - all the ones at the Food court, plus Cajun.
He is highly skilled in martial arts and modestly skills in the associated weapons.  (His father had a private dojo.  His uncle has picked up with the training.)
