One Strength: Extremely good sprinter, superb stop and start speed make him very agile.
One Weakness: Lack of confidence socially, makes him very shy and quiet. Struggles to speak up in a group, this makes it hard for him to contribute to a mission and ends up taking orders. Weirdly, he is very confident when he is running.
Appearance: Wearing a Nike hoodie and sprinter shorts and running shoes, as he died in the middle of sprinting practice.
Personality: A very kind hearted person, but is always been misunderstood by his peers. This is due to him being socially awkward and being a loner. He has a lot of repressed anger due to feeling like an outcast in his school, but because he was raised well as a child by strict but loving asian parents, he doesn't lash out by harming others but instead he has turned to sprinting as a way to vent the anger. Very hard to trust people initially, but when he does start to trust someone, he becomes a very loyal friend. Also very fond of cats.
Background: Came to the States with his family when he was 15. As such he struggled at school because he had to learn a new language and new way of life.
The schools track coach noticed his latent abilities and convinced him to take up sprinting. He got involved in the club, and started to enjoy it. He found that running made him feel calmer and happier, the feeling of the wind in his hair as he gave it his all was always an exhilarating experience. He was finally happy and in his own element.
Since then he decided that sprinting would be his main focus in school and trained everyday for it. He quickly became one of the school's fastest 100 m runners under the coach's wing. One day, a new kid showed up, and also joined the track team. It was then the first time in his life that he witnessed a speed greater than his own. The new kid happened to be African american, and taunts Omar by saying that he should give up sprinting as Asians could never be better at sprinting than blacks. That was when a new fire was born in the depths of Omar's heart, he decided that he was going to prove that if he worked hard enough, he would be able to surpass black sprinters. This unfortunately also led to his death.
Cause of Death: Omar and the black kid were very close rivals, always competing with each other to see who was the fastest. As Omar was jogging along the street one day he came across the black kid. The black kid challenges Omar to a race from one end of a street to another.
As they were running, Omar realised that he was going to lose. From this realisation, and because of pure tenacity and wanting to prove that he is the better runner, he tried to give it his all, and stomped the ground has hard as he could.
But because also since his leg muscles were already tired from over-training, this act led him to tear his calf muscle. As he lied there on the road, he realised that he couldn't get up and that he had totally messed up his leg. Then, out of sheer bad luck at the same time a huge truck was coming towards him fast. Unable to move he then got crushed by the truck.
