Personality: Omid is a magnanimous and cheerful character. As far as his fellow soldiers are concerned, however, there is something just slightly off about him. While Omid enjoys the companionship of others, he becomes almost a single unit in ongoing battles. Despite his genuinely warm personality, something switches off inside Omid's mind during combat so that the lives he must end while in a serious situation do not burden him. Even as a mere UNSC recruit, the drill instructors and other trainees found it a little disconcerting that, while Omid was normally charming and kind, he turned deadly serious and highly efficient the minute combat exercises began. Omid's superiors quickly redirected him toward the SPARTAN program, which is one of the UNSC's most distinguished Special Forces unit alongside the ODST's.

After ongoing extensive psychological therapy, Omid learned to become a valuable team[/b] member while still retaining his killer instincts in combat.

Overall, he's a nice fellow when you're sharing a beer with him, but in combat, he's a real killer and one of the best CommSpec units around.



Initially growing up as a shy and some-what dimwitted boy, Omid would always isolate himself from the outside world. As he slowly grew up into an introvert, his parents became discouraged and looked towards psychological help. After being informed that their child was born with chronic depression, Omid's parents decided to enroll him in the local Chicago Little League at the age of 7. The year that followed was very bright - he blossomed into a cheerful, happy child who enjoyed the company of others and could chat up a storm. However, his parents noticed something was still off with the boy. While in the midst of a game of Baseball, Omid would seem to disconnect from others and focus solely on his own intentions rather than the teams. His 'lone wolf' behaviour would often lead to the team's victory, but his coach eventually struck him off the roster due to his poor sportsmanship skills. Rumours of his strange behaviour began to spread around, and he was rejected from all of the local teams he applied to. This didn't stop Omid though, and he continued to grow up as a happy boy who had began to receive excellent grades in school. It was at age 12 that Omid's parents informed him of the waging war and social issues between Humanity and the dreaded Covenant, an evil sentient 'cult' originating from far beyond Humanity's grasp.

This point in Omid's life was one of a new aspiration: to join the UNSC military and fight all those who oppose Humanity in good heart. At age 17, he applied for the Marine Corps. and was selected as a recruit at the North American Institute. After completing a successful 3-year contract with the military, he soon returned donning his uniform and rifle as trouble began to brew in the reaches of space. As he attended a new academy, and began his first visit to outer space, he was noticed for his spectacular skills in serious situations, and was chosen to be a SPARTAN IV candidate. From there on, his military career was extremely successful and he now belongs to Winter Squad, of the UNSC frigate Harsh Winter.
