HISTORY !

omar rafael is born screaming on christmas eve and doesn't stop causing his parents trouble from that moment onwards. he is loud, uncontrollable, and chaotic growing up. his favorite activity is getting into things he knows he's not allowed to, but it gets him the attention of his parents that he so desperately wants.

his parents are often busy, and omar and his sibling are left in the care of nannies more often than not. his parents still love them, still take them on family vacations and spend time with their children but it's not enough to keep omar from acting out. if he misbehaves, his parents pay attention to him. it's simple really.

when school comes around, it seems impossible for omar. they want him to sit still for too long, tasks are boring and the classroom is just too loud for him to fully pay attention. his teachers call him a trouble maker, a class clown, anything but what he needs to hear.

it isn't until fourth grade that the ruiz-osman family gets their answers: omar is autistic and has adhd. it helps getting a diagnosis and the family throws themselves into getting him the resources he needs. his older sibling steps in and is the first to know how to calm omar down during a meltdown.

school becomes easier and omar finds an outlet in soccer. it helps him get out excess energy and make friends all at the same time. his parents encourage it.

but everything comes crashing down one afternoon when omar and his sibling come home from school to their parents sitting in kitchen. they're getting a divorce, not from not loving each other enough but from growing apart and realizing they just aren't compatible as husband and wife. their mother moves out shortly and then moves across the country to be closer to her family.

omar took the divorce hard, convincing himself it was somehow his fault his parents' split and his grades started suffering because of it. his older sibling noticed and helped him through it, later recommending a therapist.

after graduation, omar goes the college route but quickly gets overwhelmed and drops out. it's better this way, he tells his family and it's not like he even wanted to know what he wanted to do with his life anyways. he floats around various jobs for a while, living with his father until one day he gets into a wreck on his way to work.

the paramedics are angels on earth, omar is convinced of it. and realizes that he wants to be one of them. he enrolls in emt school the following autumn and gets certified a year later. being an emt is everything omar needed, the past environment perfect for his adhd.

his therapist recommends a service dog to help with the meltdowns and feelings of being overwhelmed in public, so that's exactly what omar does. he gets a dog, names it cooper, and gets him certified as a service animal. cooper now goes everywhere omar does and spends his days at the station when omar is working.

WANTED !

ex(es): between the off and on that him and bellamy have going on, omar tried dating. some exes ended up on good terms, some on bad, and some realized they're better off as friends. friends: omar is a lot and he knows this, but the boy deserves friends. give us fellow dumbasses, friends that calm the chaos, friends that fuel the chaos, everything. someone that does NOT like omar: i have this idea that a close friend/family member of this muse was in a bad accident and omar was the responding emt and the call did not go well. so now this muse hates omar because they blame him for everything that happened.
