—Cody Nakamura
**Cody Nakamura** (**中村コーディ**) is an emperor, adventurer, and superhero. He leads the elite Seraphim Squadron, and is a high-ranking member of the vigilante group, the Arcadian Rebels.

Cody is an assassin so deadly that he has eliminated high-value targets in his short career. He is out there somewhere, living in the shadows. To this day, they call him the **Ghost**, for killing and vanishing as one. He has since become a man of great sources, even claiming his own base in Greenland. During his career as a revered assassin, he met and befriended the skillful ninja Lance White, eventually becoming his best friend and one of his most loyal friends and allies.. His love for weaponry proves as an asset to the Arcadian Rebels, giving him the satisfaction he craves.

Cody is a transhumanist, believing in using science and technology to transcend his own biological limitations. Hence, he has organic and biomechatronic body parts; he is a cyborg.

When the Rebels divided, Cody rose to the ranks and became the new Director of the EPF, but remained ready for action when Ankou returned.

## Biography

### Early Life

From an early age, Cody showed signs of excellence. He could talk and have full-blown conversations at only eighteen months old, and could walk with perfect balance when he was fourteen months. His parents, Jayden and Violet Nakamura, jumped on this opportunity and started teaching him a gargantuan arsenal of life skills.

By age six, he could do any chore without assistance. He was already ahead of his fellow students. He took an interest in superheroes, and decided to become one. He insisted to be enrolled in martial arts classes. Violet deplored the idea, but his father Jayden, who was currently an assassin for the military, endorsed his ambitions and signed him up for several martial art classes on the spot.

Cody's teachers consistently titled him the best student. In an act of admiration, Jayden started to give him independent classes, teaching him his skills as a military assassin. Jayden hoped that someday, his son would grow up and join the military like he did.

### Becoming a Ghost

#### Cerberus

At the age of nine, the Cerberus abducted him because they had heard of his extraordinary talent. Some staff members made the abduction appear as if Cody had ran away. Illusive conducted several experiments on him, and saw a glamorous future ahead of him.

He insisted that Cody spent the next two years with him. During those two years, Illusive became Cody's personal mentor, teaching him all the advanced talents he possessed. During his free time, Cody gambled with the mechanics, and learned some useful engineering skills.

One of the things Cody got especially good at was marksmanship. Pleased in Cody's success, Illusive realized he could train him no more, and sent him home when he was eleven years old. When he arrived, his parents interrogated him to find out what happened. When they heard his story, they were skeptical. To prove it, Cody dialed Illusive's number and Jayden had a talk with him. Jayden left that day, determined to bring down Illusive. He never returned.

#### Alliance with Alliance

Since then, Cody lived a normal life. He went to school, did chores and vacations, and all the boring stuff that is a part of everyday life. Cody never forgot his abstract past and his father, and longed for the adventure he had lost. His wish was granted in the most unexpected way.

When Cody turned sixteen, a group of terrorists broke into his home. They destroyed his house, looking for somebody. Violet insisted that Cody hid in the storm shelter while she dealt with them. Hesitant, Cody finally agreed to do it. When he returned to the house, he found that the gang was dragging his bloody, disfigured and cuffed mother out the door. Despite his training, he failed to save her.

Cody, in a blur of panic and depression, dialed Illusive's number. He said he would be returning. Cody could hear the surprise on the other end of the line. Cody packed his things and drove to the Cerberus facility where he had previously been years ago. He trained there until his nineteenth birthday, when he decided to join the notorious mercenary military known as Alliance and served as a member of the **N7** for his skill.

Cody worked onboard the Normandy, a frigate ship, as a navigator under his mentor Commander Shepard for three years. He was shunned for his young age by the crew. The incident when Shepard stole his comic book collection at age twenty-two was when Cody began distrusting Shepard. Cody confronted Shepard and brutally mangled him, then took his comics back. However, Shepard later sought vengeance upon Cody, and surprise attacked him one night. During a battle aboard the Normandy, Cody received severe injuries from Shepard, the most critical being a bullet to the knee, arrow to the jugular, and a knife to the scrotum.

Cody's condition made it essential that he got surgery as soon as possible. Illusive gathered all the experts in Cerberus to perform a surgery on Cody that got him drastically enhanced. A chip was implanted into his brain, granting him extraordinary powers. When Cody finished his surgery, Illusive revealed his true name to him: Martin Sheen.

Cody didn't feel right on the battlefield afterwards, and continued his duties as a reconnaissance expert and ship mechanic. Eventually, he left on his own terms due to disinterest.

#### FBI

Cody took up a job at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and became a high-ranking agent there. At night, he worked for the highest pay as an assassin under the alias of **Ghost**. He rivaled so many individuals, he was dubbed as **Kai**.

##### Assassination of Segher

During a trip to an Arabian town, Cody met a man named Hampton Bauer. Hampton led Cody to a burger place where Hampton appeared to be immensely popular, and Cody soon found out why. He had just met the CEO of the largest, most popular hamburger chain in the whole world. Hampton gave Cody a bite of the hamburger leading Cody to believe Hampton's claims that they had the best burgers. Hampton proposed a deal. If Cody assassinated President Richard Segher, Hampton's most brutal competitor and the president of Germany, Cody would get free burgers for two days. Cody accepted the deal, and traveled to Germany to take down Segher.

##### Meeting Helena

Cody was ready to embark on his journey to Germany when a bazaar called *Look Closer* caught his attention. He decided to venture inside and see what he could find. Inside the bazaar, he met an old woman named Helena. Her shop failed to impress Cody.

#### Meeting Mars

When Cody left the airport that had taken him from Germany to America, he bumped into a man who introduced himself as General Akins von Maximus. The strutting general asked why he was walking home, and Cody revealed that he had no car. Astonished, Akins offered him a ride in his car, and he gladly accepted.

Akins asked for his address then rolled up to his house, and it went up in flames. Akins drove past his house and took him on a tedious long drive, including a bumpy drive across a bridge, to Mexico. Akins led him to a hotel and got a room for two. He told him that if he wanted to return home, he must assassinate a senator posing a threat to **Prime Profits**. When Cody finished, Akins was gone, the hotel room was occupied by someone else, he had no money and nowhere to sleep but on the streets.

After two days of intolerable sleeping, he met a criminal under the alias of Kitsune. Kitsune offered Cody money if he helped him break into the most secure vault in Mexico and steal a very powerful weapon of mass destruction. When he heard of his situation and who he was, he told them who he was, Jayden Nakamura, and offered him a ride home if he helped him steal the weapon.

Cody refused and questioned his father, and they brawled. After ten straight minutes of intensive skirmishing between father and son, an expensive taxi pulled up. The taxi driver offered him a free ride when he explained to the driver what had happened to him.

Little did Cody know, Kitsune followed him in his own car. When he arrived at his neighborhood, Kitsune parked at the house directly across from Cody's. He waited until Cody went inside, then put a recording in Cody's mailbox of one sentence, said by Illusive:

*"Cody Nakamura has taken the bait and he is my puppet now."*
—Illusive Man
The recording had a sticker on it reading 'Kitsune.'

As Cody neglected to check his mailbox, the recording gathered dust. One particular night, Cody went to check his mailbox and listened to the recording. Cody felt betrayed when he heard the sentence. It dawned upon him that Illusive was never his friend, just a power-hungry foe who wanted to abuse Cody and his superpowers. Kitsune took advantage of Cody's distress and spent a solid seven days convincing Cody that breaking the curse was the right thing to do.

#### Journey to the Himalwayas

Kitsune and Cody arrived at Cerberus' main headquarters and Cody barged in to slaughter the employees while Kitsune went in through the back door to corner Illusive. When Cody entered, an alarm was triggered and he had to face a whole squad of guards alone.

Cody was outnumbered and fighting a losing battle when an enigmatic figure jumped down from a staircase and landed on the floor without a scratch. The figure burnt all the guards to a crisp and made a message out of fire on the floor, reading 'Prophet was here'.

Prophet wore a large bowler hat, ski mask, black suit and tennis shoes. Prophet told Cody about a more dire situation in a Himalayan country, and convinced Cody to end the predicament there first. Prophet warned Cody that if he didn't he would meet an even more unwelcome fate. Assured that putting a halt to this mission and helping the Himalayan country was the right thing, Cody gathered what he had packed and drove to the closest airport to get a flight to the Himalwayas.

On the flight, he got a call from his grandfather, Nitesh Nakamura. Nitesh asked Cody if he had received the recording, and when he learned that Cody had, he dived into the details of the curse and how the Sheens and Nakamuras had been rivals since the onset of the curse.

### Superhero-Assassin

#### Recruitment

Cody returned home, and adopted a job as a cashier at the local Target. One day, Cody was approached by a group of cybernetically-enhanced gangsters. They brawled, but Cody was fired due to damaging equipment which resulted in stolen merchandise. Cody's resignation caused him to fall into a deep depression.

Cody contacted his friend Proxy, whom agreed to start up a YouTube Gaming channel with him, to fill the void of their sad lives. However, the channel was short-lived due to copyright infringement.

One day, a figure known only as Maelstrom appeared to Cody, the former of whom was impressed by his career as an FBI assassin, and offered him a job. Cody proudly accepted.

#### Critical Contracts

Shortly after aligning with Maelstrom, Cody swiftly proved his ability to kill, and it did not take long for him to become her top employee. While Cody killed the masses by night, he tried to find a suitable daytime job.

During one assassination of his own free will, Cody murdered his daughter's boyfriend out of spite.

#### Breaking the Curse

Cody was soon contacted by his father, who decided then would be the perfect time to break the Nakamura Family curse. Cody agreed to meet him outside a Burger King, where after a long discussion over food, they set off to an ancient cave to break the curse.

Cody and his father engaged in a mystic ritual, and while the ritual was painful, it worked. The curse was broken.

#### Assembling a Team

Cody later took it upon himself to recruit paid soldiers to assist him on his missions. Cody explored his city. One event he happened upon was a magic show, performed by a magician with much more than prestidigitation, but rather actual, real magic.

Cody once took the mage on a trip to steal a prototype Nintendo Switch. With a helicopter to Japan, they broke right into Nintendo HQ and faced off with the head guard, Miyamoto.

In the spirit of revenge, Cody took his team to strike back against the Cyber Gang for getting Cody fired. With his team behind him, Cody swarmed their main territory, Cyber Cave, and drove them out, taking it for their own.

#### Return of Cerberus

On another mission, Cody took his team to run an errand for Proxy, where he first encountered Mr. Toxic and his partner, the Inventor. While Cody dueled with the villainous Toxic, Inventor gathered materials. Cody was forced to leave, and when he did, he ran into his old allies, the Cerberus, who requested him to hunt down the infamous Commander. However, Cody was not informed that he was located in another whole galaxy. Cody accepted the mission, reluctantly. He made his way to the Armada, and prepared his men and himself.

Cody, with the Armada, had his troops attack the Normandy. Cody believed it was effective, until he learned that all the passengers had absconded. Cody sent one of his men after the Commander, and Cody took the opportunity to return to Earth, and his new Cyber Cave.

#### Meeting Ankou

After his bout with the Normandy, Cody began training with Crazy Mage to become familiar with the supernatural world. Under her tutelage, Cody became proficient in combining magic with technology, and separately. Cody would learn to cast spells and incantations, but he favored his cybernetics. Nonetheless, he ascended novice status in the magic world.

Meanwhile on Earth-2, KJ Becker discovered Multiverse Theory to be true, as Cody began to ponder its reality. He delved into studies relating to parallel worlds, until he hit a roadblock and decided to apply ancient magic to the situation. Using an incantation, Cody mistakenly summoned Ankou, a demonic being of darkness and evil, from the Void and into the real world, but he was non-hostile upon first meeting him.

Ankou assisted in Cody's studies with his mystic resources. With his help, Cody discovered the Gameverse, one of the infinite universes, with this on being home to all video game lore, including locations, video game characters and stories. With Ankou's magic and Cody's technology, the two constructed a Universe Vortex Tearer, a device that generated the energy required to tear a space rupture in time and space to cross universes.

Not long after, Ankou revealed his true, darker colors as a villain. He planned on using the device for his own nefarious schemes, but Cody quickly put an end to this by sending him away to the Void once more with another magic chant.

#### Droids

*"Begin tape. The Technodroid creation process has astonished me. Creating artificial life hasn't been easy. But.....it's proven to be a fun challenge. I can finally keep up with Lance's Bludroids. I can finally stop human casualties...."*
—Cody Nakamura
In fall 2015, Cody began construction of his TechnoDroids for additional muscle in his army.

#### Meeting Dot

In December 2015, Cody was invited to Proxy's Christmas party. However, this entailed Cody to pick up supplies. Cody stopped by the Neo Arcadia Shopping Mall, and once complete, made his way to the party. It was there he would meet his love.

At the party, in the middle of all of the dancing and twisted holiday festivities, a woman walked in. Once Cody laid his eyes upon her, an instantaneous attraction bloomed, and it was not just one-sided. The woman introduced herself, revealing her name to be Dot Clarington. The two spent the rest of the party with each other, and at the end, gave him contact information.

Days later, Cody returned to the mall to find Dot worked in the clothing section, much to his delight.

### Adventures with the Rebels

#### Return

Cody, after his second mission to the Himalayas, decided to expand the infamous Seraphim Squadron by creating alliances. He started by constructing a spaceship, the *Lady Blossom*. He took off on a trip to space to form alliances

He started by travelling to a place known by space dwellers as the **Gem Homeworld**, ruled by an ancient race of sentient rocks only known as the **Diamond Authority**. Cody gazed at the planet, admired by its amazing look and technological advancements.

Cody landed, instantly greeted by one of the diamond rulers, a tall blue woman. She seemed surprised that someone like Cody had landed on the planet surface. A group of gems attempted to ambush the cyborg, but failed as their physical forms went up in smoke as their gems hit the ground. The diamond watched, and was admired by Cody's show of power, and then conversed.

Cody imputed a launch code, and set a course for Earth. Around the beginning of May, he landed nearby Neo Arcadia. It was here where he reunited with his old friend, Lance White, and was offered a spot on the Arcadian Rebels vigilante team, due to his unique talents.

#### Celebration

On June 24, Cody and the rest of the Rebels were invited to Lance White's apartment for an all-night celebration.

Cody had his friend Dot design custom outfits for all his friends.

It was then that the crew engaged in a two-on-two swordfight tournament for prizes. Although Cody and his teammate, Memory Leader lost, everybody received prizes. Cody was given a mighty Particle Cannon, as well as a set of twin knives, Banrai and Inazuma.

#### Capture

After celebrating his birthday on the night of July 7, Cody and the rest of the Rebels went after Pestilence and Ankou to thwart their plan of retaking the former's base. They moved out to the base of the mountain, but were encountered by a number of goons.

After a long battle, they advanced to the top of the mountain, but midway they were halted by two goons by the names of Victor and Nixon. They initially tried taking them down, but Lance formulated a plan to instantly get them to the main room. They played dead, and just as Lance had planned, their "dead" bodies were taken to Pestilence himself.

### Further EPF Work

#### Prisoned Pal

In early August, Cody made his way to the detective agency after learning that Lance White was convicted, with a fury. He was approaching the problem with anger, as he took it personal that his friend was wrongly imprisoned. He was reminded by Jason to keep his composure, and did so. After receiving further knowledge on the case, he and the team went to the Neo Arcadia docks for further investigation.

At the docks, Cody's cybernetics proved instrumental in the forensic analysis. With that, he called upon Victor and Nixon, and invited them on the mission. With collected evidence, they reported back to Lance to assure him.

The team then followed Lance to a funeral home, and gave a small speech regarding the fallen man.

#### Disabling and Distress

Cody took charge in co-leading the team. After a flight to Japan, the team tracked down Pestilence's impromptu base of operations, and effectively shut down Pestilence's machine responsible for developing fuel for a superweapon.

Days later, Cody learned that his girlfriend was an agent of the EPF. When she returned with the Rebels, Jason revealed that Dot was the one who directly downloaded schematics for Richtov's warhead. This meant she'd be put in danger, and so, Jason created a scheme involving deceiving Dot to believe that she was being hunted by the paparazzi, and likewise took haven in Sakura Base with Cody.

Cody was not left out, however, as he was updated on the missions whilst he kept his girlfriend company.

#### Operation Coverup

In late August, Cody continued to assist in the technologies department for the EPF, as he recently resigned from Pink Laboratories. With his new free time he was able to contribute to **Operation Coverup**, a project regarding creating a new cover for the exterior of the EPF primary headquarters.

#### Back from the Ice

In early November 2017, Cody tracked down on a lead that his mother was alive and well. While skeptical, Cody wanted to follow up on it to satiate his boredom. He brought along Jason Kade to a McDonald's in Vancouver, Canada to investigate.

While there, Kade posed as a customer seeking advice from mothers while Cody stayed on comms. Kade ran into the main suspect, and she turned out to truly be Cody's mother Violet Nakamura, after having gained evidence of her past. With this newfound knowledge, Cody burst into the McDonald's and yelled at her in disappointment.

Violet tried to explain her absence, but could not do so until Cody was quelled by decent memories. The two reconciled, and Cody received closure knowing that she was alive and well. Kade secretly slipped Violet the contact information of Dot Clarington.

#### Picking Up Pieces

*"This tape documents instructions for properly salvaging a fallen TechnoDroid unit. You must make sure you are equipped with the proper tools. Make sure the AI has not been tampered with. Pry the outer shell off the droid, revealing the skeleton structure. Make sure the hardware is still intact. If everything appears to be functional, then you may harvest the unit for spare parts. End tape."*
—Cody Nakamura
TBA

### Legacy

#### Director Nakamura

Cody would go on to lead the EPF, succeeding Michelle Garrington. His army would go on to merge with the EPF as well. Under his steadfast leadership, the EPF evolved into an organization of efficiency and state-of-the-art technology. Even a novice like Jake Long became an adept agent, and a reformed villain like Maelstrom thrived in meting out justice.

#### Return of Ankou

In early 2018, Ankou escaped from confinement once more. Upon hearing news of him freezing over the harbor, Cody sprung back into action. With Lance and Kade, Cody sought to take him and his new army, the Taken, down. White learned that Ankou was utilizing ICEE-8, an extreme ice agent accelerant, and Cody conducted research on how to reverse its effects.

Cody doubled his efforts after Ankou flash-froze the entire EPF headquarters, along with his wife.

In early February, his daughter Jenny's concert received threats of an attack by Ankou. He and Kade attempted to persuade her to leave while she could, but to no avail. Cody felt an extreme depression from being detached from his family, but this only made him more determined to save them.

#### Losing Lance

Cody responded to Lance's distress signal on February 10, and traced him to Ankou's mansion. He responded fast enough to join in the fray, but couldn't save his friend from Ankou's attacks. After witnessing Lance's tragic death, Cody slowly fell from sanity. Cody then called in Crazy Mage to cover for him while he recovered from all of the recent personal losses. To make himself feel better, he spent time reminiscing on the past after Lance's funeral, while also planning on how to either rescue or avenge his fallen family. He found comfort in fellow Rebel Autumn "Fish" Stone, and soon began a relationship with her. Dot presumably began to focus the rest of her attention in her EPF work.

#### The Potentiologist

One of Cody's primary focuses as the new Director of the EPF was studying superpowers, or "potentiology" as coined by Kade. When Shadow Boy and Gamma Girl were welcomed as new members to the Rebels, Cody was excited to study them, and was even more excited to collaborate with Oswald Garrington, before realizing that he had retired alongside with the former Director. He also directed using his new influx of cash to pay for a mansion. His backyard was official designated as the yard of fallen heroes, the first of the buried to be Ben Jacobson, Fish's adoptive son.

#### Sought out by Cerberus

In early April 2018, Cody's former associates were growing frustrated with not having any operatives who matched Cody's talents. With that in mind, Cerberus' leader began to put in place a series of events which would coerce Cody into retrograding from serving justice and preserving peace into working for galactic conquest once more.

Cody later deceived Cerberus one day, with Kade, Lucius Collins and Gamma Girl pretending to be prisoners as a part of Cody's faux olive branch. A Cerberus space craft arrived on that day to pick them up. Cody was garbed in his armored Specialist Cerberus uniform, convincing a Cerberus operative to allow him onboard.

While Cody stored the "prisoners" away, he covertly hacked Cerberus for information and possible blackmail. He then promptly rescued his friends from armed Cerberus agents and safely returned home with them.

#### Further Ventures

Soon after Cody put his Gem studies aside, in order to improve his elemental magical skills in Akiba, as well as pursue a new power source rumored to be capable of powering entire states. This was put to a halt when he discovered the Rebels were being targeted by a new government program deeming superheroic activity to be illegal. Cody empathized for his old friends and decided to help them.

#### Saving the Rebels

Cody, out of bravery and sympathy, arranged for official supervision for the Rebels underneath the EPF's jurisdiction, and thus preventing months of heated tension between the group of vigilantes and corrupt bureaucracy. His old friend Kade thanked him for this act.

Cody continued his investigation into the nature of the superhero bill, as his instinct went off.

## Personality

*"A bit of an immature wisecracker with a flair for humor."*
—Cody Nakamura
Cody is one of Lance White's most stalwart friends and allies. Cody admires Lance and the ideals he represents. Their commonality helped the two to forge a bond that led Cody to aid Lance in many of his heroic exploits. During these exploits, Cody becomes a hero in his own right, whether it be when the two are fighting shoulder to shoulder together during a mission or aiding Lance with a personal matter.

Unique, he can be quite friendly for an assassin. Despite his tragic childhood, Cody is quite laid-back, witty, bubbly, somewhat childish and humorous, in stark contrast to the very dark and stern Lance White. Cody is shown to have a more humble, with a more laid back yet upbeat demeanor. Friendly and eager to try new experiences, he jumped at the chance to help in crime-fighting. He has a strong sense of humor, and he has acquired qualities of a charismatic leader. Cody's adventurous side shows itself in his work.

Cody is a brave fighter and family man. He does what he can for others, regardless of the potential cost to himself.

In contrast to Jason Kade's pensive, no nonsense attitude, Cody often displays a more brazen attitude and often makes cheeky comments. Ironically, Cerberus operatives recall the "Ghost" as being one of the fiercest and coldest, one of the most daring professionally trained military veterans to set foot on the Normandy.

## Powers and Abilities

*"I utilize my powers because they're useful. Not everything is solved with weaponry. The connection between someone and their abilities is a strong one. Don't take powers for granted, Jenny."*
—Cody Nakamura to his daughter
### Powers

*"DAMN THESE ADVANCED CYBERNETICS!"*
—Cody Nakamura

* **Technorganic Physiology:** Illusive Man gathered all the experts in Cerberus to perform an exoskeletal enhancement surgery on Cody that got him drastically enhanced. A chip was implanted into his brain, granting him extraordinary powers and transforming him into a killing machine. Some of his superhuman abilities are derived from bionic enhancements he gained after he became a cyborg and modifications to the chip.
	+ **Technology Manipulation:** Cody, due to him being a cybernetic organism, is able to interface with and gain complete control of any system he has unfettered access to, allowing him to manipulate data seamlessly, due to his digital omnipresence. As such, Cody remains constantly plugged into the Internet, taking in and processing vast amounts of code and data. He can link with other machines and metaphorically speak their language.
		- **Holographic Projection:** Cody can make holographic projections of data that he discovers on the internet, and can also summon holographic clones of himself. His holographic interface ables him to connect to different forms of technology, including robots and his own ships.
	+ **Enhanced Intelligence:** Cody, due to his cybernetic mind absorbing vast amounts of data from being constantly plugged into the Internet in conjunction with Cerberus' bionic chip expanding his brain capacity, is extremely intelligent. He is known for his mechanically inclined intelligence and exotic thought process. This intelligence extends to his tactical, engineering and medical skills. He notably uses his intelligence to calculate the distance, arc and force necessary to launch force-field balls, as well as keep an extensive mental database to use for identification, pattern recognition and analysis. This is the bionic equivalent of an eidetic memory, as he was able to memorize the first 10,000,000 digits of pi.
		- **Mathematical Analysis:** Cody can calculate angles and other complicated mathematics almost instantly. He uses this ability to calculate the right trajectory to fire sniper rifle rounds, and to calculate at which angle he should throw his force-field ball.
		- **Chemical Analysis:** A type of scanning ability that allows him to scan an object and identify the chemical composition of it. It also allows him to identify if there are any foreign substances in the object by comparing information from his database about the normal chemical composition of that particular type of object to what he actually finds in the scan.
	+ **Enhanced Strength:** Cody's armored cybernetic body grants him considerable superhuman strength, beyond that of an average human, making him among the physically strongest of the Arcadian Rebels. He can perform stunning feats of strength, such as punching through a wall hard enough to cause it to crumble, effortlessly snapping a medieval axe in half, checking Jason Kade into a pool of orange soda, and it should also be noted that he's conditioned his strength to high levels from frequently operating heavy equipment, having opened an extremely heavy, nine-foot tall metallic door in Sakura Base for every duration of his visits.
		- **Enhanced Leaps:** Cody's bionic legs are super-strong, allowing him to jump extremely high.
	+ **Enhanced Durability:** Cody's cybernetic body is extremely durable, capable of withstanding extraordinary punishment and hostile conditions such as immense blunt force trauma, laser attacks and flight at extremely high altitudes. However, beings stronger than him can still wound him. He survived having his head squeezed by the superhumanly strong Ri-zilevo and having cosmic chains momentarily wrapped around his body until he was sliced into three pieces, although his self-repairing abilities in conjunction with his magic fixed him up.
	+ **Enhanced Speed:** Cody is able to move at great speeds thanks to both his physiological improvements and his cybernetics. He uses his speed to catch enemies off-guard, once notably striking the super-speedster Doug State with a bolt of lightning.
	+ **Enhanced Agility:** Cody's agility is superior to that of an ordinary human. He has demonstrated the ability to do acrobatic flips avoiding gunfire into cover.
	+ **Enhanced Stamina:** Cody has incredible stamina, with him never tiring or needing to sleep. Indeed, he doesn't need to consume food, or even breath if he were to choose not to. However, he does enjoy taking naps.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes:** Cody's reflexes are superior to the finest human athlete, which has allowed him to effortlessly dodge and deflect attacks time and time again. Even before his bionic enhancements, his reflexes were honed by constant practice of videogames.
	+ **Enhanced Senses:** Cody has augmented senses of vision due to his bionic eyes, as well as hearing and smell.
		- **Scanner Vision:** Cody's scan vision allows him to scan an object and then look through it, as a form of x-ray vision.
		- **Microscopic Vision:**
		- **Infrared Perception:**
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor/Self-Repair:** Cody is capable of repairing his biomechatronics and regenerating his organic body parts in the event that they become damaged. His extensive cybernetic implants allow him to survive near-fatal injuries. Additionally, Cody can also survive consumption of Tide Pods, due to his cybernetics filtering out the negative chemicals in them. However, ingesting bleach would require manual remedying.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** Cody's powers are largely neurological. His most frequently used (and possibly most powerful) offensive ability is generating several forms of energy by summoning electrons and then focusing them before shooting them. This is due to his cybernetics having integrated L.A.W.S. (laser-aided weapon systems) in the form of miniaturized missile-guidance systems capable of delivering high-explosive ordnance, each in his arms, in conjunction with the bionic chip in his head enabling his brain to pick up and use electricity the way a normal person picks up and uses tools. These forms often appear as blasts of high voltage arcs of electricity (or "lightning"), lasers and pulses. His blasts can kill most targets on impact, though some physically enhanced hostiles can withstand his blasts and only be stunned by the impacting force. Each "lightning bolt, the ray of pure energy, gives off roughly 1 billion joules to two terajoules.
	+ **Force-Field Generation:** Cody can generate fields of reflective light blue energy, which are impervious to gunfire, to protect himself and others. he can also extend his force field to encompass other objects, but in this case it must stem from his hands. Cody can shrink the force field into a ball and use it as a weapon to throw.
* **Chi Manipulation:** Cody is able to harness and focus his chi to perform the Dākuken.

*"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."*
—Arthur C. Clarke
* **Magic:** Cody is a potent mix of science and sorcery. He has previously indulged in the dark arts, possibly having learned from Crazy Mage. He is familiar with arcane lore, knowing how to wield mystical artifacts like grimoires, magic weapons and artifacts. He is known for possessing a hypnosis-enabling amulet that also doubles as a magical transformer.
	+ **Elemental Manipulation:** Cody mastered the base elements (fire, snow, etc.) in Akiba, Japan. He returned to the very same place in summer 2018 to improve his elemental abilities, and he later used his knowledge to operate his own dojo of elements.
		- **Ice Manipulation:** Cody can unleash a cryo-blast, freezing anything in a nanosecond. It freezes everything it touches, including objects and people. People frozen are in suspended animation.
		- **Fire Manipulation:** Cody can create and shoot fireballs. If he charges a fireball enough, it is powerful enough to kill a human.
	+ **Teleportation:** Cody mastered the ability to molecularly transfer himself from one location to another just by thinking about it.
	+ **Invisibility:** Cody can absorb all forms light around him, granting him invisibility.
	+ **Hypnosis:** With the aid of his amulet, can hypnotize his victims and make them do whatever he wants through verbal commands. They are in a state of obedience until Cody's demand is fulfilled, and the longer it is unfulfilled, they will gradually fall from sanity and self-control.
	+ **Transformation:** The amulet's possibly greatest power is transforming Cody into the "Hyper Angel," an enlarged being with tremendously heightened abilities (strength, speed, etc.).
	+ **Healing:** Cody can restore the health and vitality of others via tactile contact. The extent of this is unknown, but he has shown to be able to reattach Kade's arm after it was severed by Vex.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Cody's able to move objects with his mind, effectively doing so in a strategic sense by causing the weapons of his enemies to levitate in the air and out of their grasps.

### Abilities

*"I remember your fiery passion, cold outlook, and commanding tone very well, Commander Nakamura."*
—Cerberus Soldier

* **Master Assassin:** Cody is a master assassin who knows everything about taking lives. Having become an infamous gun for hire, Cody assassinates his targets in mere seconds after a price that satisfies him is offered. He has been credited with over two dozen of the world's most crucial assassinations in years, including Richard Segher. Aside from the ample money he is paid for his assassinations, he loots his victims, too. Cody compares his proficiency in the art of assassination to that of getting high from marijuana; the enjoyment, the thrill, the pay, all of which he intensely loves. All standard Cerberus operatives remember Cody for being fiery, fierce and cold.
* **Master Martial Artist:** Cody is an extremely skilled and formidable martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant, excelling at weapons handling. Receiving vast training, Cody became a master assassin who can slaughter dozens of enemies alone, take on extremely skilled combatants. Cody has mastered ancient forms of Ninjutsu (which includes Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Bōjutsu, Tantōjutsu, Kayakujutsu, Bōryaku and Chōhō), Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and learns further moves from observation of his enemies. He has also studied one of the most time-honored traditions in Japanese culture: the great martial art of Aikido, the key principle of which is to deflect his aggressor's attack by using their own speed/momentum and strength/force against them; with Aikido, a weak opponent can defeat a much stronger one, and given that Cody already more than ten times stronger than an average man, he is very formidable. He's shown to be able to go against Lance White, a grandmaster of Ninjutsu with incredibly advanced training, and overcome Ankou in hand-to-hand combat.
	+ **Knife Mastery:** Cody excels in knife-fighting. He usually resorts to his tantō in close quarters combat, or his poisoned knives; Cody brings knives to gunfights, and he is able to throw knives as well with pinpoint accuracy.
	+ **Sword Mastery:** While having more skills in wielding guns and knives, Cody was trained by his father to wield the family sword, Black Fox. His swordplay has improved by practicing with Lance White and the White Fox.

*"When in doubt, fire rapidly and don't stop until your ammo runs out."*
—Cody Nakamura
* **Master Marksman:** Cody received training from Cerberus to hone his skills with a blaster, and now possesses the knowledge and skill of a seasoned marksman, which makes him more than alright with his lasers, pulses and lightning. Along with his powers, Cody has revealed to be an expert sniper (much like his Earth-6 counterpart). His sharpshooting skills were honed even before his bionic enhancements, but now his superior intelligence and mathematical analysis able him to calculate optimal trajectories for his shooting. He once took first place in a state hunting contest.

*"Cody, your genius is showing!"
"Where?!"*
—Jason Kade and Cody Nakamura
* **Genius-Level Intellect:** Cody was an extremely intelligent individual even before his cybernetic enhancements. His intelligence was so unnaturally high, he could engage in conversations when he was eighteen months old (comparable to Ainan Cawley with an IQ of 263, who said his first word when he was two weeks old and could construct complex sentences by his first birthday), and very rapidly understood the nuances of mechanical engineering and its practical applications when he was only a child. In his current cybernetic state, Cody is constantly connected to the internet, thus allowing him to be knowledgeable in many fields and become updated on any situation in very little time.
	+ **Master Tactician:** Cody is an intelligent and skillful leader, a trained, brilliant general and an inspiring commander. He was able to successfully lead the Seraphim Squadron on missions for years and now effectively rules his own militia. He can concoct and execute battle plans and, to a lesser extend, orchestrate a Kahoot raid. His leadership skills later proved instrumental when he was appointed Director of the EPF, and under his leadership, the organization immensely prospered. When stranded on East Vegetation 6, Cody devised the strategy to use himself to triangulate the position of Huxley's *Decimator* by bouncing the locator signal off an EPF satellite in order to use it as a "hotspot" for communication. Some of his most iconic war victories include the Battle of the Forest Moon (where he successfully reclaimed a besieged EPF base), the Monoxide 12 War (alongside the Arcadian Rebels, particularly Argent) and the Battle of the Phoning Facility.
	+ **Master Engineer:** During his free time with Cerberus, Cody gambled with the mechanics, and learned some useful engineering skills to become a brilliant designer and amazing engineer. After becoming a cyborg, his technopathy transformed him into an engineering genius. He can thus very quickly familiarize himself with foreign technology. Since then, Cody has become an expert in handling, modification and construction of equipment and high-tech weaponry. An example of his skill is him hot-wiring a rocket launcher and a sniper trigger to the same port, creating a hybrid weapon.
	+ **Master Hacker:** As part living computer, Cody is a master of infiltrating and manipulating computers, modulating systems, running hacks, subverting/sabotaging security protocols and injecting code. His technopathy allows him to literally jack into technology and bend it to his will, and with that comes hacking computers with great ease.
	+ **Master Physician:** Cody is an excellent physician, providing medical gadgetry to his allies. He is recognized as the team's former medic, proving to be able to provide first aid to fatal injuries.
	+ **Expert Scientist:** Cody has knowledge of the chemical composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the chemical processes and transformations that they undergo. This includes uses of chemicals and their interactions, danger signs, production techniques, and disposal methods. He was able to concoct a reversal agent for ICEE-8.

*"Everyone loves a good mystery."*
—Cody Nakamura
* + **Expert Investigator:** Cody's time with the FBI granted him a high degree of detective skills. That, combined with his technology makes him highly skilled in forensic analysis and other methods of deduction. With his cybernetic mind, Cody can solve problems by the process of deriving reliable generalizations from observation.
	+ **Expert Networker:** Cody, as a former assassin and the Director of the EPF, owns a vast network of allies and contacts acquired throughout his respective and agency careers. He can call upon his resources for varying needs, whether it be information brokering or small favors. This communication skill was instrumental when he organized a deal with the government to allow the Arcadian Rebels to operate without interference, and simultaneously preventing a significant period of tension and possible bloodshed.
	+ **Skilled Lawyer:** Cody attended law school for a total of three weeks, and during this time he gained legal knowledge and experience with trial law. His training in legal matters has taught him that every document has some fine print that is usually overlooked; he is the Rebels' official lawyer.
	+ **Master Word-Player:** Cody is phenomenally skilled with wordplay, with it granting him the unique idiosyncratic ability to subtly reveal things that he is aware of, with people only realizing it if he intends them to (thus allowing Cody to openly and smugly flaunt his knowledge to their faces with them remaining ignorant of it all, even people as perceptive as Lance and Jason), with him employing witty (occasionally transpositional) puns, malapropisms, discreet black humor, and layered pop-culture references such as the United Express Flight 3411 incident, Sayori's death in Act 1 of *Doki Doki Literature Club*, the Tide Pod consumption trend, *Hotel Mario*, and emos.
	+ **Bilingualism:** Cody speaks fluent English and Binary code.
* **Stealth:** Having training in ancient styles of Ninjutsu, Cody is adept at stealth. Ninja are renowned for their quiet and concealment.

## Weaknesses

* **Power Overload:** Cody can't use all of his abilities at once, not for long. If he maxes out his abilities, he will fry his chip, and it will take approximately a full hour to recharge.
* **Exposure:** Cody's supercharged battery back is quite vulnerable and unfortunately exposed. If stricken, this will nearly take him out of commission.

## Techniques

* **Dākuken:** The Nakamura equivalent of the Shiros' Seiken, Cody is able to blast an intense dark wind at his enemies through sheer and utter focus.

## Equipment

*"All my equipment was made with love, $200 motherboards, scrap, and some radioactive waste. The things you can make when you're essentially a walking computer are amusing."*
—Cody Nakamura

### Cybernetic Enhancements

* **Ballistic Armor:** Cody was equipped with armor plating that can withstand high caliber gunfire, such as shotguns, with very little to no damage at all, and can also withstand electrical shocks.
* **Internal Prostheses:** As a cyborg, Cody was implanted with cybernetic enhancements underneath his skin, enhancing his strength, cybernetic bodily functions, and endurance even more.

### Weaponry and Gadgets

* **Sniper Rifle-Rocket Launcher:** Cody hot-wired a rocket launcher and a sniper trigger to the same port. The sniper rifle is ideal for situations that require accuracy at long range, and the rocket launcher is very effective for taking down vehicles or large groups of assailants.
* **Black Fox:** Cody's katana passed down from his 17th century Japanese grandfather, Yoshida Nakamura.
* **Tantō Blade:** Cody's melee weapon of choice is a short blade used for assassinations. The tantō represents the dragon: strong, fierce, and intelligent. A dragon not only relies on its physical strength, but its keen intellect as well.
* **Knives:** Cody carries an arsenal of knives, which he uses as both a close quarters weapon and as a projectile. These are both conventional and poison-laced.
	+ **Banrai:** One of a pair of knives, a gift from Jason Kade.
	+ **Inazuma:** One of a pair of knives, a gift from Jason Kade.
* **Particle Cannon:** Cody's particle cannon can release a beam of destructive energy.
* **M-3 Predator:** A reliable and accurate sidearm, the Predator is a powerful and deadly pistol. It is lightweight and therefore suitable for Cody, as he frequently uses his powers.
* **FN P90:** Cody's firearm is a compact submachine gun with a compact design and armor-piercing capabilities. It is light, powerful, and handy in close quarters combat.
* **Cerberus Shock Baton**
* **EPF Phone:** Cody's modified EPF-issue gadget phone has an app which provides him access to a wide array of tools.
* **Staff of Darkness**: Wielded by the Lord of Darkness Ankou and given to Cody after the dark lord had fallen. The staff amplifies Cody's existing abilities and grants him the ones utilized by Ankou. The staff has a chunk of the powerful Darkening Stone placed in it, which grants it its power.

### Transportation
