How can I have my input code communicate with my character code?

I’m working on making my own player and character code with OOP and I’m struggling a little bit with how I can get my input code to communicate effectively with my character code for movement and other actions.

This is my player class which just handles creating a new character and updating the model reference with the new character when they respawn.

function PlayerClass.new()
	local self = setmetatable({},PlayerClass)
	
	self.character = BaseCharacter.new()

	localPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		self:OnCharacterAdded(character)
	end)

	localPlayer.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(character)
		self:OnCharacterRemoving(character)
	end)

	if localPlayer.Character then
		self:OnCharacterAdded(localPlayer.Character)
	end

	return self
end

function CharacterClass.new()
	local self = setmetatable({},CharacterClass)
	
	self.model = nil
	self.health = 100
	self.walkSpeed = 16
	self.jumpHeight = 7
	self.maxJumps = 2
	
	self.state = nil

	return self
end

function CharacterClass:SetModel(model)
	print("CharacterClass:SetModel()")
	self.model = model
end

function CharacterClass:LockOn()
	print("CharacterClass:LockOn()")
end

function CharacterClass:Dash()
	print("CharacterClass:Dash()")
end

function CharacterClass:Evade()
	print("CharacterClass:Evade()")
end

function CharacterClass:Jump()
	print("CharacterClass:Jump()")
end

Now my input code is just a torn-down version of the control module in the player module and I keep trying to do an inheritance approach, but it feels clunky so wanted to know what else I could do.
