Name: Hamza Shah
Age: 16
Gender/Pronouns: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: Homosexual
Height: 5'6
Appearance:
Hamza, a boy of a somewhat short stature, has an inherent air of timidness in his composure. His jet black hair, slightly cut short near the sides, is often tousled and messy through happenstance and his tendency to run his hands through his hair when anxious. Hamza additionally makes a habit of dressing formally, always wearing a buttoned shirt and dress pants throughout most of the year, although he might put a sweater vest over it in colder months. He also has a bit of a lean frame, which works to his advantage when training his speed.
Personality: As mentioned previously, Hamza is a bit of a creature of habit, enjoying life mainly when it is predictable. Consequently, he has a hard time coming out of his comfort zone, often putting him at odds with others, and especially his own ambition to hone his abilities. Nonetheless, when things go his way, he prefers to slip into the background, content not to speak or cause a scene for the most part. Despite all of this, he has been described as a social butterfly, even if he may lack the stereotypical gusto that might come with it. He almost never harbors resentment, though may initially put others on blast if they act in some egregious fashion.
Backstory/History: Hamza grew up with his grandparents in the area around Terassk, naturally dreaming to make it into the school in his formative years. He just barely got by the entrance exam however, as his academic slouch nearly got the best of him. His grandparents instilled within him a somewhat antiquated perspective on societal norms, but as he grew older, he's slowly learned to abandon most of them. He looks up to his elder sister, Aaliyah, who graduated top of her class, but is crushed by the ever-apparent reality that he will never achieve what she did. So far, getting used to the school has been a nightmare for him, but he knows deep down that, in the long run, he'll adapt.
Powers:
Celestial Footfall - Hamza can stand, walk, or run on delicate terrain, such as water, thin ice, or any crumbling structure, without falling through, for about a couple of minutes or so. After using it, he often becomes sluggish and out of breath, which might cause him to pass out if he was carrying anything while using it.
Condor's Grace - Hamza can create temporary airstreams to propel himself or something nearby in any which direction, enabling anything from higher jumps, mid-air movement, or even controlled flight, for about 10 or so seconds. It works best outside on windy days, requiring far more effort in less ventilated or open areas. But, if the natural wind is already too strong, it often fails to work or backfires spectacularly, making him rather nervous about using it outside.

Dislikes:
