Roderick

==Overview==
Roderick is the co-CEO of The Universal Trade Center, and is a close friend of Darius, former friend of Dan. Armed with sarcasm and detachment, he acts a frenemy of the protagonists, often willing to find a way to backstab if it means it will gain him something more. He seeks to follow in the footsteps of his father, Alastor Calloway, realizing there is success in being a crime boss.
==Role in LIAT==
=== Origins ===
Like most, Roderick joined the UNSC, but due to his underperformance was sent to Cunto Bight for extra training. There he met Dan and the two made a bond, agreeing to start up a business after training. Before the program finished, Blu staged an attack, kidnapping many of the soldiers to participate in her game. Roderick was a prime contestant, leaving him scarred and tortured, before Shade saved the group and fought Blu.
Once Cunto Bight was shut down, Dan and Roderick left and decided to become bank robbers, gaining a getaway driver, Flynt Desmarais, after the three accidentally robbed the same bank at the same time. They would then become The Nova Scotia Lobster Fuckers.
Life was good, until kill life. Their biggest score had gone wrong, the gang under chase from rednecks and the IPC. The car swerved and Dan fell into the ocean, while Flynt demanded they save him, Roderick assured it was too late, and so they fled. The group split after an argument about what happened to Dan and the score, leaving Roderick to try continuing the scores alone. This was almost a dead end, before he noticed Darius' skills in a shootout with the cops, requesting he joint together to become a team.
They would take on Ted and Bonnie, leading a life of bank robberies again, then delving into arms dealing for Alastor Calloway, Roderick's father. Eventually things would slow down, Darius was feeling deeper into uncertainty about himself, leading him to take contracts around Cunto. Roderick would run things with Ted and Bonnie before they considered their robbing days over. Roderick would spend time with his father, learning how to run a business... then the bitch came back.
=== The Blu Arc ===
Roderick acts as a secondary protagonist to Darius in the first episode, agreeing to aid on his journey to stop Obama Bin Laden. However Roderick makes it more and more apparent he has ulterior motives until finally killing Ted and betraying Darius. Roderick is stopped after a fight and Shade beats him, leading him to drop his plans for now, but vowing vengeance!
Roderick is absent during Life is a Table 2, having gained a role as co-CEO of The Universal Trade Center with Obama Bin Laden. He becomes relevant again when Uncle Fuckus takes Darius to see him since he has experience in fighting Blu. Roderick hesitantly accepts, going to find Captain Roosevelt to try and find clues on how to stop Blu. Roderick and Darius are swept up into a game, but manage to fight off Blu before Roderick summons Keemstar to take on Blu.
Roderick and Darius then escape Keemstar's newsroom and save Shade with the antidote from Blu, but decide to find Obama Bin Laden for help. The mission is turning into a failure, Roderick having enough after his injury from Dan, leaving the group since it was not his responsibility. Roderick eventually is persuaded by both Alastor and Darius to join the group again and stop Blu, and to bring peace to his fight with Dan.
He joins Darius in stopping Dan and Eggman's assault, before he and Captain Cock go to stop Dan once and for all. Roderick is forced through illusions, fighting Dan all over the factory before finally having him at gunpoint, explaining his side. Dan shoots Roderick, revealing his plan to make a movie from everything and that they will meet again soon.
Roderick finds and stops Blu from escaping Darius and Shade, armed with a tank and rocket launcher. He gives Shade the rocket launcher to take down Blu, finally able to stand up to Blu and not let fear control his life once again. The group celebrate, Roderick having to leave to get the missing tank sorted with his father.
But what of his feud with Dan? Surely they'll wrap that up sooner or later...
==Characteristics and Personality==
Roderick is snarky and sarcastic, not willing to put himself deeper into a subject. He can be rather defensive, brushing things off with a sarcastic comment, but at times he's willing to lower his guard if it means he makes peace with a part of his life.
While Roderick can be rude and nonchalant, he does hold care for people that are his friends, or were. This is shown with Dan in how he's willing to try and talk to Dan about what happened and wanting to make a difference, however struggling with understanding what he needs to change about himself.
Roderick is cynical, believing if people don't chew you out, the world will, so what's the point. This leads to him almost going ahead with very destructive ideas such as Russian Roulette with Darius.
==In Depth of Skills and Tech==
Roderick is a decent shot with the battle rifle and magnum, performing around average from basic training.
Roderick is an average combatant in hand-to-hand fighting, not having formal training and relying on hooks and front kicks. However he can be very resourceful, utilizing a turret to injure Dan a couple times, or turning a gravity hammer into a bat when it breaks apart.
