Omar Shmo

]Omar Shmo is one of the main characters of A Normal Day and is a member of The Chaos Council

## Background

Omar Shmo is one of the six main characters along with Dom, Nick, Marc, David, and Timmy. Omar first appeared in Season 1 Episode 1, "The Pilot", along with the 5 other main characters. In the episode, Omar helps Dom and his friends try to hijack The School's orientation to announce the formation and goals of The Chaos Council. Since then, Omar has been the only voice of reason in the group and the most on and off member of the Chaos Council. Most of the time he is allied with them, but other times he is against them. Starting in Season 1, Omar has been Dom's biggest rival (within The Chaos Council) throughout the series due to their differing ideologies, which is often the driving conflict of several episodes. In Season 3 Episode 1, "Dom's Origin Story", we learn that Omar was one of the first kids to join The Chaos Council along with Nick, Marc, and David. Omar is a character conflicted on whether he should be friends with the most infamous kids in the school. Episodes that center around him usually focus on how his different opinions than the other characters creates a divide between them.

## Personality

Omar is usually the chill, calm, yet "know it all" kid of the group. Omar is the one to make smarty remarks about the insanity of the events taking place. He is the only voice of reason and will call out his friends when he believes things are going too far. Omar is easily annoyed by the craziness of The Chaos Council and is barely able to put up with it. Omar has the most mental stability of the group, and hasn't done anything to make him labeled as crazy unlike the other characters. Omar is one the most vocal kids in the group because of his opinions that are in direct contrast to Dom. In the very first episode, "The Pilot", Omar is the only one to question Dom's plan to hijack the school's orientation while everyone else is on board. Despite being on the quieter side, Omar is very vocal about his opinions and is quick to argue with people like Dom. Omar doesn't really have many enemies and is the least likely one to go along with a Chaos Council scheme. Most of the time, Omar just gets annoyed and either doesn't care or reluctantly goes along anyway, but occasionally he tries to stop his friends (mainly Dom) whenever he believes they are going too far. In Season 1 Episode 9, "Chaos Council with Superpowers!" Omar justifiably turns on Dom when he proposes his plan to raid the school and later leads the attack to stop him.

Omar is an intelligent and competent character as well as being a surprisingly good leader when he has to be despite his unsocial personality. Even though Omar is part of a friend group, he does get lonely at times due to feeling like he doesn't fit. In Season 1 Episode 3, "David the Crazo Kid", Omar tries to become closer with David after he realizes he doesn't have a best friend. Omar is the most distant kid out of The Chaos Council, and has straight up betrayed and left the group on occasion. In Season 2, Omar leaves the Chaos Council and remains on his own throughout the season. Omar thinks that he doesn't fit in anywhere, not just the main group. Omar isn't accepted by the popular kids due to his history with The Chaos Council. Throughout most of the series, Omar doesn't have any people he can truly connect with. He is always at a crossroad, being too crazy for the popular kids but not crazy enough for the outcasts. Omar is a very morally divided character with a strong ideology that he will uphold. In contrast to Dom, Omar is against vengeance and believes that violence isn't right even if it is done to someone who caused violence themselves.

Unlike the rest of the group, Omar cares a lot about his school work and impressing his parents. He cares so much that he even has a mental break down when he gets a C in science class in Season 4 Episode 4, "Dom and Omar Adventure", despite having an A in everything else. He fears disapointing his parents so much that he even teamed up with Dom to track down the teacher to change their grades. One of Omar's worst traits is that he isn't a very understanding kid, and has distain for some of his friend's weirder traits like Nick's creepiness and David's waifu. However, it is understandable why Omar be against those things, especially since he is the only member of The Chaos Council to actually get a girlfriend.

Even if Omar struggles forming connections with people, deep down he has a very caring and compassionate side. Omar is the one to give people the best pep talks and advice throughout the series. In Season 3 Episode 6, "Crushed", Omar is the only one able to talk Dom out of blowing himself up after the rest of his friends fail. And in the next episode, Season 3 Episode 7, "Dom vs Dom", Omar is once again the person to give Dom the pep talk to get out of his depression and stop his evil clone. Omar still cares for his friends despite everything, and chose to save them in Season 9 Episode 6, "" even though it cost him his reputation that he worked hard to repair.
