Codie Floyd Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Codie Floyd biography Codie was born in Seattle, Washington, to a woman named Ingrid Floyd. His mother never really talked about his father other than that he loved her art. Whenever someone asked her where she came up with the concepts for her pieces, she would say her dreams. Codie loved his mother's art because the dreamscapes she created seemed so real. Sometimes when he fell asleep, he would think of those paintings and be teleported there. It took only a short time until he started painting with his mother. He didn't have a typical childhood, as his mother had them traveling all around America from the moment he could walk. The longest they ever stayed in one place was a month, and that was only due to his mother being able to sell several paintings. Usually, she had difficulty selling them because most people found her paintings disturbing. When she couldn't sell her art, she would find men or women at the truck stops they would stay at. She would return with a handful of cash which would follow with her giving him money to go to the convenience store at the truck stop; when he would return from the store, his mother's behavior changed and seemed more erratic. These were the moments he didn't like because he knew his mother wasn't being safe. In these situations, he was glad that he could fall asleep with a snap of a finger. Codie loved his mother dearly, and she showed him how to find beauty in anything, even when everything seemed wrong. So it crushed the 10-year-old boy when he woke up one morning to find that his mother had OD on drugs. Strangely there was something so beautiful about how she lay there dead. Codie stared at her body for a good hour, letting it sink into his mind before he left their van to call for help. He was brought to a boy's group home and attended public school for the first time after being homeschooled by his mother all of his life. His grades were awful since his mother could only teach him the basics, it didn't help that he was often found either sleeping in class or sketching. He kept having strange things happen to him, especially when he turned 12. During Halloween, someone dressed in this realistic monster costume tried to kidnap him while his group home was taking them Trick or Treating. Luckily one of the House Dads saved him by getting into an intense scuffle with the person. This wouldn't be the last time that man saved his life. A few weeks before his 13th birthday, Codie woke from one of his naps to a loud crashing sound in the group home and children screaming. The same House Dad came rushing, but there was something different his legs weren't human. Before he could say or think anything, he lifted over the shoulders of the man a rushed out before the building collapsed. Codie swore he saw another Monster, much like the one from Halloween, being crushed by the falling debris. Anxiety took over, and the last thing he remembered before passing out was the man saying, "I'm sorry." Codie woke up to the House Dad nudging him intensely. Dazed he looked around realized they were no longer at the group home. Codie looked at the House Dad about to ask what happened. Before he could ask the House Dad gestured to a building telling him to head in. Personality Codie keeps to himself for the most part as he doesn't have that great of social skills. When people approach him, he opens up quickly and can become attached to them easily. He is optimistic that even in the gloomiest situation, he will find beauty in it. If Codie was at a gathering with a bunch of people, he would be found in a comfy spot listening to an audiobook or listening to Lofi while napping. He has difficulty picking on social cues and will speak honestly about situations without thinking. If two people were flirting in front of him but not acknowledging they like each other, he would be the person that would say, "wow, you really like her." It's jarring for people when they discover that he finds beauty in everything, even the most gruesome deaths. He can be seen staring in a daydream-like state at dead animals letting every detail sink in. Codie always wants to help others, but when given a task, he can be found napping on the job even though he genuinely wants to do a good job. He loves sketching people, things from his memories which are often pretty grim, and his dreams. Even though he loves his art, he rarely shows it to others. It's one thing he holds dear and could bear losing of people criticizing it.
