[Backstory: Omar grew up in a house ruled by fear. His father, a man consumed by homophobia and violence, made it clear that love was conditional. From an early age, Omar knew he was different, and when he came out as gay at sixteen, his father’s hatred turned into something far more terrifying. Omar endured brutal beatings, verbal tirades, and nights spent locked out of the house. Once, after Omar returned home with a rainbow pin gifted by a friend, his father ripped it from his shirt, pinned it into his skin, and sneered, “This is the only way it fits you.” The physical scars faded, but the emotional wounds ran deep. Through it all, his older brother, Elijah, tried to shield him and Aubrey, their younger sister, from their father’s wrath. Elijah was their protector, standing between them and their father, taking the brunt of the man’s rage more times than Omar could count. But even Elijah couldn’t save Omar every time.

Music became Omar’s escape. The piano was his sanctuary, the one place where his father’s voice couldn’t reach him. He wrote songs late at night, pouring his pain into melodies and lyrics, dreaming of a life beyond the house that felt like a prison. When he turned eighteen, Elijah helped him pack his things and leave for good, telling him to chase his dreams, even if it meant leaving Aubrey behind. Now, Omar struggles to heal while building a life for himself. His music carries the echoes of his past, and though the weight of his history is heavy, he’s determined to create something beautiful from it.]

Habits: Tapping out rhythms on any surface when he’s anxious or thinking. Writing song lyrics at odd hours, usually on whatever scrap of paper he can find. Rubbing the scars on his hands absentmindedly when deep in thought.

Likes: Playing the piano, where he feels most at peace. Writing songs that express the feelings he can’t put into words. Spending time with Aubrey, who reminds him of innocence and hope. Rainy days, which feel like a cleansing for his soul.

Dislikes: Loud, angry voices, which bring back memories of his father. Judgmental or close-minded people. Being underestimated or dismissed.
