Roleplayed by Marbelle Shrake

Omari Zane Calder is a British Mozambican wizard from Kent, England.

## Quick Info

Omari was born in Sevenoaks during the summer of 2024 to Devon Calder and India Hammond. His father was a Hogwarts graduate, an inventive Potioneer turned brilliant Healer. Devon left the Calder family business so that he could pursue his passion. His mother was a wildly successful Uagadou graduate who became a famous Auror for the Burkinabé Ministry of Magic. She was forced into early retirement following an injury that almost took her life. His parents met while his father was starting his work abroad. Six years after their first interaction Devon and India started a family. The new parents chose Swahili/Egyptian names for their twins; Neema and Omari. Omari is the youngest, he is also the only boy in his immediate family. The heir to the Calder throne. Devon took it easy on both his children. The quintessential good dad, he didn't want either child to have the terrible experience he had with his family. Omari's had everything handed to him since the day he was born. As an infant he was caudled too often, the spoiled rotten effect of giving him everything he wanted. It continued far longer than it should have.

He was six when he discovered his magic. His mother knew he was going to be a very special child. It was her fault he developed such an over inflated ego so quickly. He was arrogant, assuming that all magic would come easily to him. His mother was a powerful witch, his father was a very capable wizard in his own way. He knew that same sort of magic ran in his veins. He felt entitled to wield it at his discretion. He wasn't ever brash enough to do so, that meant he had to keep his anger under control when he got frustrated. That didn't often end well. He developed his knack for breaking things when his magic revealed itself. Plates, cups, toys, windows, and doors. He broke almost everything in the house for a year straight. He still has slip ups although he's managed to work on his reflexes to try to catch some of the things he may have moved or lost control of.

Breaking tradition like his great grandfather before him, he joined the ranks of the black sheep from the Calder family, Omari was sorted into Slytherin.

His paternal family, House Calder, may have done away with his father, Devon, after he chose to make his own decisions. His maternal family, House Hammond and Bruce, have never let him down. They have arranged for Omari to be married. He was betrothed to Joana Flint when he was seven.

## Traits

Magic and being a wizard are the core of his life. If he didn't have magic he would be nothing.

He's had an extremely great childhood and it's only going to get better. His life has been perfect and he doesn't think it will stop when he's an adult.

He's fond of relaxing, maybe eating some of his favorite foods. It would be fine if he weren't kind of lazy expecting food brought to him by someone else.

## Appearance

Omari is slightly above average weight and height. He is the spitting image of his father, more like his mother in confidence than his father. He's been told that he's got all the best parts of both of them all rolled into one. He's destined for the Calder family inheritance despite being the second-born. He's got everything the Calder are looking for. Mostly his resemblance to the paternal side of the family is seen in the nose and the shape of his head and ears.

## Personality

Omari is too carefree and reckless for his own good. He has this way of making things work out for him. Whether he's fooling everyone into thinking he's lucky or he's actually more competent than he's willing to let on. The odds seem to naturally be in his favor. It's quite possible he is the same high functioning level of nerd as his sister. However he might have literally lucked out in the genetics department and scooped up all the talent and little of the actual motivation to back it up.

He's playful and charming, he loves to chat with people about anything big or small. He's got idle hands and he's good a breaking things. He's broken a number of bones in his body. He has even bent, and splintered his wand a number of times, the first day he got it in fact. He doesn't seem to know his own strength and often can't tell when he's been injured as immediately as some others might. He's got a sense of mischief that's written all over his face.

## Family

### Calder

Devon Calder is a British Pure-Blood wizard born in 1997. He seemed to be average in almost every way, he was the very last one to carry and pass on the Calder name.
He was brought up in a wealthy family that had carried on their occupation as Potion Masters.
The Calder family had an estate in Montrose meant to be inherited by Devon upon his graduation and subsequent marriage. Unfortunately he didn't follow the guidelines carefully stipulated by Lindsay Birk and Jackson Calder. He couldn't live by the script they wanted him to live by. He couldn't make himself fit in the little box they imagine for him. He wasn't going to try to be something that displeased him.
He attended and graduated from Hogwarts; a Ravenclaw alumni as he was meant to. He also became a Potioneer soon after only to abandon his birthright.
He left the family estate mean to house his branch of the Calder family to put his extensive knowledge of Potions to use to transition to a career as a Healer.

### Hammond

India Hammond is a Mozambican/English Pure-Blood witch born in 1998. She was an extraordinary student during her time in school. She was one of the first to begin studies as a transfer student going from Beauxbâtons to Uagadou.
Idris Hammond was a stern figure, he wasn't as domineering in young India's life as Esselina Bruce. She had a fear of her mother she kept all to herself.
It was her biggest secret until her boggart was revealed and people learned the truth about the cruelty she was subjected to at home.
Her mother's form of discipline gave India a backbone, she never confronted her mother out of fear.
She also never let any other person treat her the way her mother treated her, she had set a standard for what she allowed herself to experience.
Upon her graduation from the Ugandan wizarding school she was fast tracked into Auror training within the Burkinabé Ministry of Magic.
