## Story

Cody Ann Coe was born on December 21, 2004. When Cody was very young, his parents (Garret and Margaret Ann Coe) we’re having a relationship issues. Margaret was kind, and understanding, while Garret didn’t want kids, and would often overreact. When Cody did something bad, he would abuse him. When Cody was 6, he developed a case of paranoid schizophrenia, leading to Cody imagining his older brother, Justin and a girl named Samara. Eventually in 2010, Margaret divorced Garret and left her son with him. During the time, Garett felt ashamed of his behavior, and tried to be a better father. Cody and Garret moved houses and schools. This lead to Garret finding a house near the school. (As seen in Season 1) On August 25, 2017, Cody starts 8th Grade. He plans a sleepover with his friends, Jayden and Brayden. When Cody decides to walk in on Jayden in the bathroom, the prank backfires as Jayden angrily leaves the house. The next day, Cody decides to become a YouTuber. After the ruined sleepover, Cody’s other friend Tristan, introduces him to Billy, Shane, and Johnny, who he becomes friends with. Throughout the series, Cody starts having problems in life. He and Tristan are bulied by Damian, the school bully. Cody starts dating a girl named Emma, who he dumps for a popular girl, named Amy. Emma seeks revenge by dating Johnny, and taking him from Cody’s friend group. Around this time, Garret starts to become more controlling to Cody, like forcing him to do ikedo, and getting him to quit YouTube, as he thinks it will get him nowhere. At one point, Margaret came back to take Cody, but Garret threatened to delete his YouTube channel if he did not come back. Cody starts to get more insane because Justin disappeared, and Samara taking control. Cody than starts dating a new girl, named Vanessa. But, her friends hate him, and Vanessa breaks up with Cody, due to him being "too overprotective". Cody decides to quit YouTube, due to being exposed for being a pedophile. Cody tries to fix these problems. He makes up with Tristan, and helping Johnny break up with Emma, but Cody still feels insane due to what else he’s lost, and eventually snaps. Before school ends, Cody learns he has schizophrenia from his principal, and he stabs Damian after being fed up with the bullying. Cody supposedly kills his father, makes one last video to tell his story, and attempts suicide by hanging himself. He decides to leave his town to Oshawa, an area Cody mentioned in “No Choice” to his mother. (Season 2 occurs) In the finale, Cody, Tristan, Johnny, Emma, and Damien all play one last game of whip, and ends with a sight of the sky. This is how we know, Cody has changed to become better, and will do greater accomplishments. However, Iggy shows up, says his goodbye to Cody and the gang, and transports somewhere (Probably to find Jake or “The Creator” AKA Richie), thus concluding Path of the Psycho.

## Trivia

* There were many ideas that were heavily inspired by the Psycho series. One of them is Cody's Dad destroying all of his stuff, like how the Psycho Dad would break all of Jesse's stuff. The series was also going to be filmed in the found footage style by Justin. Cody's mom was originally going to be with Garret and Cody, before eventually divorcing him. Cody was also going to be kicked out of the house by his dad where he was going to live in a tent.
* The videos were going to be uploaded every day, but the pressure was too much for Richie since it was already hard to film in the final version of Path of The Psycho.
* Path of The Psycho was originally going to be set in the Super Mario Richie universe, where all of the characters are their original selves, like Larry and Bowser.
* Cody was going to have a mohawk while his hair grows out. The mohawk was finally going to flip back until the end of the series.
* Emma was originally going to be pink Yoshi before changing to Pom Pom.
* Cody was originally going to break a window instead of a mirror, but it would have been too expensive to repair it and his parents didn't agree with his decision.
* In the episode "Let Me Tell You A Story", there were words originally going to be written on the walls and drawings of the events leading to his insanity. This didn't happened due to financial issues and the channel not being successful.
