==Psychological Profile== | |||
===Overview=== | |||
There is no complete psychological profile for David Cody, in part due to nearly a decade of information which hasn’t been made public except for bits and pieces in his formation years prior to joining Starfleet. What has been assembled is through various research and what others have been willing to offer: | |||
===Adolescent Years: 2366 – 2368=== | |||
Some have offered the origin of several of Cody’s particularities stems from this period between sixteen and eighteen years of age. It was during this tenure, from what has been offered, that Cody had entered a family bond through the family’s pseudo-adopted daughter/sister, [[Turow, Deborah|Deborah Turow]] as she came of age cut off from her family and friends back on [[ma:Betazoid|Betazoid]]. | |||
The full extent of what happened in the caverns beneath the sand dunes of [[Mars]] may never be fully known, but what has been stated for record is Cody managed to survive the onslaught of a T6 coming of age over the course of seven days. The methods of, the why and the how remain unknown. | |||
===Pre Starfleet Years: 2368 – 2378=== | |||
Perhaps the hardest years to track given at this point, Cody was involved as a trader and trade securities investigator, first under Captain [[Mov’na]], and later under Captain [[Nathan, Gersh|Gersh Nathan]] while serving aboard the civilian freighter [[Skiptrace]]. The experiences and/or events in this chunk of time has not been brought to light, nor has Cody offered up his youth. | |||
===Pre Starfleet Years: 2378 – 2380=== | |||
The only segment of years prior to Cody joining Starfleet which are, in part, on record due to his known tenure with the [[ma:Ferengi|Ferengi]] wearing a control collar. His medical records have charted the physiological changes to his body, but there is also record of his psychological profile from his detail-oriented, very work focused and unemotional front that had developed during the course of what for a lack of better word would be “specialist retriever”, which is what the Ferengi know Cody as. | |||
When Cody returned to Mars in October of 2380, the Starfleet Medical Examiner who presented at the inquest of the deaths of [[Cody, Barnes|Barnes]] and [[Jennet, Barbara|Barbara]] Cody, noted the distant, unemotional detachment when Cody had learned his parents had passed on during his absence, which led her to suspect there may have been some psychological conditioning at some point in Cody’s early twenties. To what is was or to what extent was never determined. | |||
===Academy Years: 2380 – 2383=== | |||
While it actually was never addressed, Cody’s entrance into Starfleet came under an accelerlated two and a half years, in part due to a request to evaluate his prior experience and training in the civilian sector. Because David had been involved in security and investigation, he eventually was able to win a petition to shorten the amount of time spent in the Academy. His peers and fellow students remember Cody well because of his piercing focus and by-the-book approach, which would fly in the face of his peers and instructors during his Academy exit Kobiatchi Maru scenario, which while deemed somewhat reckless, determined there was a creative application to the man that hadn’t been apparent. | |||
It’s suggestive that underneath the protocal that Cody has rarely waivered from, there is a certain creative element that guides him in his choices. A part of what stems from the frustration pinpointing a complete profile is due to an exhaustive background in criminal investigation and profiling, two things that Cody had prior training in before coming to Starfleet. He is nearly infamous for avoiding psychological evaluations. | |||
===2383 – 2384: The First Year=== | |||
Upon his arrival on the Independence, Cody had displayed himself as a detached, but committed Ensign who was originally assigned under at the time Lt. [[Walker, Benjamin|Ben Walker]] as a Tactical Officer. There is record for a definite appreciation for his head of department, and Cody has to the day remarked his complete respect for LtCmdr Walker. It’s rumored that Cody may have had developed an initial attraction to the First Officer at the time, but if that’s true, no one is talking. | |||
Coupled with his severe insomnia and proneness to tinker, the components of Cody's mindset aren't hard to determinate. Definitely a product out of the Academy, usually by-the-book plays along with a few random initiations came to head during the Gorn Conflict in the invasion of DS17. Cody made the decision to reroute the command authorization tree, in view of this profiler, with full knowledge he could have faced court-martial for overextending his command authority. | |||
But perhaps the surprising element during the course of the Independence crew’s stay aboard [[DS17]] comes from an orphaned Betazoid child, [[Cavann, B’Sara|B’Sara Cavann]], and what was observed as almost a fatherly aspect in Cody’s dealing with the child. There is a definite family man in Cody, which surprises this profiler to an extent since there had been no evidence to support the self-described bachelor. | |||
== | ===2384 – 2385: The Second Year== | ||
There is no better evidence to Cody's protective nature of his crew than in the very beginning of the year, ironically, because of B’Sara. While it’s not hard to guess the motive, Cody’s near self-sacrifice to protect Ms. Cavann during the biomechanoid appearance at the onset of the [[USS Independence-A]] demonstrated for the first time a clear emotional attachment to the people he worked with, whereas prior Cody had remained nearly stoic and Vulcan-like in his work habits and free time. | |||
Coming out of the Galactic Barrier over the summer opened up a closure to the circumstances around Cody’s parents, but left several more open, which is suspect that there was a major psychological shift happening within David Cody. What it was, to what extent, no one has come forward to suggest. But it is reasoned that the answer to where his parents had died solved several things for Cody. It can be reasonably assumed that Cody may return to the Waystation discovered in the Galactic Barrier. | |||
Further examination toward the end of the year came as almost a complete 180 to Cody’s behavior, especially after the arrival of Lt. [[Reynolds, Quinn|Quinn Reynolds]]. Although he has been heard on record regarding his romantic interests as ''volunteers'', one could ask any of the Independence crew regarding the courtship between Cody and Reynolds to know there is a significant relationship between them (although kept extremely quiet). Even to the day, very few people are aware of their feelings toward each other. | |||
===2385 – Present: The Third Year=== | |||
On review, at least what has been accumulated to date, there has been a significant depature from the cold, emotionless Ensign that stepped aboard the Independence to the Lt. Commander who works with the current command of the ship, by far more accessible and a friend to those who have come aboard. | |||
Perhaps the best overview the profiler can offer is a definite shift in the man’s command and political ability, which even Cody has confessed as “quirksome”. Although somewhat green, there’s a lot to the potential of the man, who has by all accounts evened out over the course of the first half of the year. | |||
As to what comes, especially now under the order of RAmd. Anassasi regarding psychological reviews, perhaps Starfleet finally might get a complete look underneath the man who is David Cody and be able to provide a complete profile to the enigma who’s been called ''the investigator''. | |||
==Telepathic Status== | |||
Cody has been referred to as “telepathic as a rock”, although he keeps trying and does like to get tested once in a while to see if he's developed anything (which is not likely, as Terran telepaths are extremely rare). | |||
