Character Profile

Name: Kieran Wallace

Age: Late teens, around about 17/18.

Hobbies: Uses his spare time running/sprinting.

Intro

You meet the character after they have been a part of a car accident thus leaving them with a disability known as ‘compartment syndrome’. This syndrome has taken him from a highly touted sprinter, expected for the Olympics to an average runner determined to build back up to his personal best.

Character Background

After attending numerous athletics clubs since a very young age, and having very supporting parents who want the best for their child, this character was expected to be up there with the giants of sprinting, but a tragic car accident on his way back from training left him with a broken leg which eventually caused him to develop compartment syndrome which means that the muscle tightens up surrounding the break and causes problems healing. Without surgery this can lead to nerve necrosis but luckily it was treated as soon as symptoms were identified. However this still prohibits the speed of this athlete and leaves the likelihood of him excelling at that of your average student. However alongside his determined nature and willingness to succeed he pushes the boundaries and is convinced he will one day step out on the big stage.
