Personality: Jack keeps mostly to himself. He doesn't usually approach others due to never having enough time to do so. Instead, he just spends his day on his own, thinking about his sister's needs.<br /><br />He's usually very upset with himself, or his situation. To the point where he throws fits of frustration. When this happens, he usually drops whatever he's doing, and takes a break for up to an hour.<br /><br />Jack likes to try and be as competitive as he can with others. However, it's been somewhat difficult considering he's in his own area of expertise, and that has made it hard.<br /><br />On rare occasions when he does end up having a time to break, he usually likes to make friends that aren't his fans. This is a way for him to break from the monotony of his superstar life, and enjoy himself. <br /><br />Of what he can do, however, he likes a lot of basic things from playing games to showing off. He even enjoys sports such as baseball, but unfortunately, the amount of time he's found to do any of his favorite things has limited him. Because of this, his only real focus is his sister, and he'll do anything to make sure she'll be ok.

Backstory: Not to long ago, in Ponyville, a pair of twins were born to the poor Classic couple. An earth pony colt named Jackson Classic, and a unicorn filly named Jillian. Jack was a very handsome, and good-looking colt, even at birth. His parents were amazed at how well their boy turned out. However....conversely, the twin sister, Jillian was a different case. She was born with several life-changing ailments. The hospital was amazed at how twins could be born in such drastically different ways, but could not find any reason for it other than simple birth. Regardless, Mr. and Mrs. Classic did not care, and showed equal love for both of their children.<br /><br />Unfortunately, things only got worse as time went on. As it turns out, Jillian had other symptoms that were not first noticed at the hospital. In reality, Jillian was allergic to many things including wheat, sugar, and even milk. She was sensitive to so many different things, that the doctors had to give her medication to treat the symptoms she was having. In addition, they also had to give her a special type of food that was free of everything she could not eat. But there was one problem: Her family could not afford it. Mr. and Mrs. Classic were poor, and on the lower end of the middle class at best. His mother would stay at home most of the day to watch her children, while his father was at a dead-end job as a dishwasher for a local bar. As much as it pained them, they could not find a way to be able to pay for Jillian's medical needs.<br /><br />This made Jack sad. He wanted to help his sister in any way he could. So much so, he was determined to go out and find a job that would be able to pay for his sisters medical needs. He searched all over Ponyville for any sort of job he, a colt, could find. But alas, no one was hiring at the time. This made him feel even worse, as he felt that he wasn't a good brother, and had failed his sister. He wanted to just get up and run away at one point to escape the fear of dread and despair that was consuming him.<br /><br />However, a ray of light seemed to shine upon him. As one day, while walking through Ponyville, he saw a long line for...something. He wanted to go see what it was about, and if it had anything to do with a job, so he did. The minutes turned into hours as he waited in the line, and at long last, he was next. He walked down the aisle of the theater, his heart was pounding. What was all of this? Cameras? Lights? What kind of job could this even be? The next thing he knew, Jack found himself on a stage being stage with a baseball bat, and posing. At first he was confused as to what he was supposed to do. However, he did enjoy playing baseball in his spare time, so he simply posed for a few pictures. With that, the director took note of his natural...energy and love for the sport, and gave him a job, and a nickname: "The Batter Boy." However, he wasn't exactly sure if it was what he wanted to do. He liked to play baseball for fun, not really pose for pictures all the time. But, he realized that he would be paid to do this. As such, he asked "How much?" The director told him that it all depended on how well his face would sell their sporting equipment, so he had to give it time.<br /><br />And he did. A few weeks later, his first profit came through after a boatload of bats, hats, and gloves were sold on the first shoot. He made just enough to pay off his sister's meds for the month!<br /><br />When he showed his family the news, they were excited, and proud of him. His little sister cried a river of joy when he heard her brother say they would be able to afford her monthly needs. Unfortunately, something else came to Jack's attention: He would have to continue doing this to pay for his sister's medical needs. Of course, he wanted to do it for his sister; he loved her to death. But in the back pf his mind, he knew that he didn't really like this job all that much. <br /><br />Soon after, it seemed as if everything was perfect, except for one small problem. Jack had garnered so much attention from fans, that he simply could not catch a break. Fans screaming for him. Following him around. Everywhere he went, he would be identified because of what he was famous for, being "The Batter Boy," and not for being who he really was: Jack Classic. So now, he simply continues to take this job to pay for his sister's needs despite the tough life of being famous.
