Personality: <p> Nitro Spark has a go-getter personality and always strives to be the best he can be. However, he has a severe mental issue that has a put a major damper on his life. When faced with certain tasks, memories of his ill past return and cause him to lose it and break down. He is still trying his very best to overcome this detriment. </p>

Backstory: <p> Nitro Spark was raised in the industrial city of Detrot. He was the son of a rich factory owner, who put him to work at an early age. In fact, Nitro Spark was the youngest of the workers in the entire factory. He would rather watch the teenage street racers race around the town, rather than delivering parts. This was his ultimate dream: to become the greatest street racer that ever lived. He was a delivery pony, one who delivers parts to the Cloudsdale Weather Machines. What sounded like an easy job, in fact, was not. Detrot was all the way on the west side of Equestria, 500 miles away from Ponyville. Just about every day, Nitro Spark and his group had to fly from Detrot through sandstorms, thunderstorms and dense fog. A day came when Nitro Spark and his group were flying through a heavy storm, Nitro Spark was flying close to the water, for he feared that if he flew higher, he would be struck by lightning. He had heard many stories of delivery pegasi going down by lightning. His fellow crew were telling him to come higher, for it was safer because water conducts electricity. Nitro Spark didn't listen and paid an enormous price. He was struck by lightning and his wings were almost fried. He went down into the water. Minutes went by. A fishing boat happened to pass and caught him in a net along with a load of fish. Because the boat was headed towards Ponyville, this was a benefit for Nitro Spark, as doctors might be able to save his wings. After 4 hours of being on the ship, Nitro Spark arrived at Ponyville, but he was still unconscious. He woke in the Ponyville hospital, his wings all wrapped up in bandages. The doctor did manange to save his wings, but he would remain flightless for the next few days. Thus, Nitro Spark decided to quit his job of being a delivery pony. Days passed and he recovered. The doctor gave him a surprise. He put some special metal platings on his wings to protect him from lightning strikes. Although he was not in the delivery business anymore, Nitro Spark still kept the metal platings anyway. He could now start his dream of becoming the "best street racer ever in all of Equestria", as he said when he was a little colt. Although a rich pony, his father saw the burning passion in Nitro's heart and lended him some of his bits for him to buy a car. Nitro Spark brought his first and primary car, an orange Saleen S7. He had some leftovers and modified the Saleen. He had not earned his cutie mark yet, although he was now 16 years old. The night he brought his Saleen S7, was the night that would change his life for the good. He found a street racing club and raced his first race. Everypony there was making fun of him, but he didn't care. He pushed himself to the max and pulled off his first win in his very first street race ever, which is how he earned his cutie mark. </p>
