Occupation: Student. He's taking classes at GCU. He works part-time in the on-campus gym. But he's looking for better paying work instead of work-study.
Hobbies: He creates masterclasses and flexi-friend seminars on the weekends to upload. A lot of both free and paid for content, to pass the time and earn a passive income with. It is something he's passionate about considering how he wish he'd known when he was younger how certain injuries would grow and change him.
Virtues:
Steadfastness: He continues onwards, especially in the face of challenges or adversity. Amir, outwardly, is not easily swayed by external pressures or setbacks. He remains resolute, maybe even near 'obsessive', especially when circumstances become difficult. This often leaves him being reliable due to his consistency and dedication. He adapts to setbacks with determination. If not patience.
Self-discipline: Amir has Self-discipline in a very 'self absorbed' way. The line for which he has the ability to control his emotions, and actions in the face of temptations and distractions only stretches so far as his achievable goal. He is a yo-yo, in some ways. Able to set clear intentions and maintaining focus, even when the easier path is right there. He resists the urge to procrastinate, stays committed to long-term goals, and pushes through challenges without losing sight of his objectives.
Flaws:
Perfectionism: Amir has always set extremely high standards for himself and others, with the belief that being less than perfect is unacceptable. While this has lessened in his views towards others over the years? He privately still holds tightly onto this view in regards to himself. He's grown quieter about expressing his own displeasure at what he sees, looking back on things now, as early failures that have kept him from long term success.
No matter *how* successful he's been in each new endeavor he's undertaken since his initial injuries? Because these 'wins' are so distant from what his original, long held goals were? He privately degrades himself for his own perceived failures, even the tiny unseen ones, even if they're physically impossible (to the degree he wishes!) to overcome. In striving for excellence he's found only frustration, burn out, and aggravation while attempting anything new.
High-octane: When channeled properly? It's his greatest strength, but oftentimes, with nothing to turn it into? It becomes a weakness. Exhausting for both Amir and those around him. The way he becomes restless, impatient, and takes on new tasks to offset these things hastily. He struggles to maintain balance, often burning out quickly or creating stress for himself. For every successful benchmark, there are a thousand failed ones lingering in his shadow.
Ohh, it grates on his every nerve of being relegated to going guru-yogi due to being laid up, and for how old injuries pulling on steel plates and rust-proof pins complicate matters. Nothing seems to quite fill that void in him, and so? He creates ten more 'hims' to fill the mold of till one hopefully sticks.

History: (This is mostly for me so I don't forget things!)
His parents are loving, come from the standard; dad's a dentist, moms a nurse, the expectations are expectant, upbringing.
Amir used to do it all----
Dirt-biking (Till he broke his collarbone -- his wrist -- his wrist again -- and his poor mother spent so much time explaining her child was simply overly active, not actively being beaten with a baseball bat! The one doctor laughed the whole time he was cutting of Amir's black with white signatures from all his friends cast. The older man had been wildly attached to motocross sports in his youth too!), gymnastics, cheer, dance!
It just so happened that the tattoo winding across his shoulders hurt the most to get done! Especially where it touched
To go from from high-octane, prize-medal winning child to a young adult who's wearing knee braces on a bad day? It's a whole lot to cope and seeth over. Quietly, of course.
