== Description: ==
=== General Information ===
"Oh! I'm Kodak. Kodak Bodega."On April 8th, 2021, Kodak Bodega arrived in Los Santos in search of his father "Bodega Prime". He believes that Prime is currently somewhere in the city. Kodak seeks revenge and plans to kill his father for abusing and leaving him behind.
Being out in the real world on his own will for the first time, he was able to learn a lot about the city and its residents. He was able to develop friendships with others and was even unofficially adopted by Steve Segal and Siobhan Fitzpatrick.
Kodak met Steve first and went on little adventures with him around the city. Because of his past and the stories he told, Kodak at some point thought that he was his father, which was not the case. At first, Steve wanted to take him in as his student and teach him martial arts but ultimately decided to become a father figure for the boy instead.
The two met Siobhan at a later time. Steve and Siobhan didn't exactly meet on good terms and would often bicker a lot. When she learned about Kodak's past, she sympathized immediately and decided to become a mother figure for him. Despite Siobhan and Steve's strange relationship, the two would often come in agreement when it comes to Kodak. Only arguing about major decisions such as getting face surgery for Kodak's scars. Both of them developed a soft spot for the boy and at times would even be protective of him.
== Appearance ==
Kodak appears meek, walks with a limp, and is always hunched over. He is pale, thin, and is described as really tall—around 6'4"— by a few people he's met. 
When he arrived in Los Santos, he was wearing a cigarette-branded shirt, a sling bag, yellow shorts, white gloves, and sandals. He had an outfit change when his adoptive parents took him to the clothing store. His new outfit consists of a red raincoat, light blue jeans, his white gloves, and a new pair of shoes. 
He has semi-long, wavy, dark blonde hair. He wears bandages all over his face that causes his hair to look like a mess when worn. Sometimes, he would use a paper bag that he drew on instead. These are used as masks to cover his face scars.
Kodak has multiple prominent scars on his face. Gruesome, jagged lines all over. One fairly big and deep scar under his right eye and left cheek; and a rail-like scar going across his right cheek, mouth, and left cheek. His scars would often get mixed reactions from people. 
== Personality ==
Kodak is a very quiet and timid person, He speaks softly, and slowly, and would also stutters from time to time. He has a whispery, airy, and calm voice. Kodak is also easily influenced. Because of being sheltered his entire life, he is unaware of most things. But his extremely curious personality makes up for it. Kodak is not afraid and is even enthusiastic to do and try out new things he's not aware of, despite some of them sounding sketchy.
Because of the abuse and labor Kodak went through, he has developed a high pain tolerance and reacts indifferently when in pain. He finds dangerous situations thrilling and tries to seek them out.
Despite appearing unafraid of interacting with others, he is still wary of his surroundings. Kodak would often walk around crouching and scanning the area he was in, occasionally pointing at things for himself to keep in mind. He would also enter a defensive stance whenever he felt threatened or watched.
Kodak overall is a nice and silent individual. However, once his father is the topic at hand, he suddenly becomes angry and aggressive. If he had a weapon, he would even bring it out. Which can lead to messy situations such as him confronting Steve because he thought the man was his father.
== Background: ==
"A... Hug? What's that?"Kodak only knows about his father, "Bodega Prime", and has never met his mother nor does he know anything about her. He was left behind by Prime at the hands of the bodega workers. He does not have any educational background as he was never able to go to school. He taught himself everything he knew through magazines and such. He named himself "Kodak" because it was the first word he learned how to read. He lived and moved around from bodega to bodega owned by his father. Workers under Prime are either indifferent or aggressive towards Kodak.
He has mentioned that his father and even some of his workers would hurt him, he was also forced to do child labor. The scars on his face were caused by Prime when he burned Kodak's face with a hotdog grill.
