Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Rocket is a very dark gray Pegasus who was wingless. He's got a long red hair. He always wear his Rocket Belt, a red metal belt which transforms into one giant propeller on each of his side, to offset this lack of wings and to allow him to fly. He's 3 feet tall for 3 long. He's an athletic pony, who's training himself hard to prove he doesn't need wings to be good at something.<br /><br />As a punk, he also always wears two earrings on his left ear. We often see him with some kind of mittens

Cutie Mark: Rocket's Cutie Mark is a rock-on sign, a red fist raised in the air with the index and the atrial raised, with a black heart inside. It means that his soul is as hard as stone, making him go through the toughest experiences. It also means that he may be another person than he looks.

Personality: Rocket is a young stallion Pegasus, so it's quite simple to figure out how he thinks : he would like to fly every time he could, have fun, etc. But the fact is he's born wingless, so he quickly realized that he couldn't be like any normal Pegasus. But when he got his Rocket Belt, he was just so happy he fainted.<br /><br />He's quite disciplined, as he always trains hard to be a good Pegasus, even if he has no wings. He's working hard to find his way, even if it's tough because of his handicap. But he keeps trying, harder and harder every time, making him very relentless. He stood up to each of his ordeal, so he's a really hardened pony, although he's very sensitive behind his 'cool guy' shell.<br /><br />He loves dynamic music, such as rock, pop, metal, punk (of course), even rap, it just have to motivate him. But he also likes some classical music, or more dark music, when he's not pumped up.<br /><br />Otherwise, his personality can be separate in 2 : when he's in public, and when he's not. When in public, he's just really outgoing, the kind of guy everyone finds cool. He makes everything to be awesome, as everypony could see him, notice him. Rocket wants to fight back his handicap, make people notice he can do just as a random Pegasus, even wingless. He makes it the 'Cool Way', which makes people think "On my gosh! This stallion is awesome!" He's a cool guy, full of humor, a little bit careless, friendly, ... He is THE pretty cool guy everyone wants to have as a friend, because Rocket wanted to do just like that: he just wanted to please everypony. People can find him arrogant, proud of himself, but it's just a shell to protect the real Rocket.<br /><br />In private, he hates himself. He hates to show cool in front other people. He hates the way he acts in public. Of course, he wants to prove everypony wrong about his handicap, but he really dislikes the only way he found to prove he could do just like a regular Pegasus. He is sensitive, and likes to be alone.

Backstory: He arrived during a night before the Hearts and Hoofs Day. The sky was dark and starry, the wind whistled softly under his wings, and the clouds under his feet were velvety as a pancake with mushrooms. He blew some times after his long flight.<br /><br />"Cloudsdale. I'm finally back..."<br /><br />The Pegasus city was open to him in the night sky.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Congratulations, it's a boy!"<br /><br />Everypony was happy in the Cloudsdale Hospital. A new Pegasus was born. But there was a problem with the baby. The parents quickly figured out that their tiny stallion had no wings.<br /><br />"Oh, Diesel, what will we do?<br /><br />- I don't know... That's not what we expected at all. Doctor, do you have an idea?<br /><br />- He's your son. Give him all the love and joy you can. He may be different, he's still your child, he needs you. Don't give him up. That's all I can say."<br /><br />Since this day, Diesel and Steam Punk helped Rocket, their wingless son, to make him feel good, even if everypony got rid of him. He was able to walk on the clouds, as he could go to school like any young Pegasi in Cloudsdale, go to the market with his mother, but everyone laughed at him, everytime he was outside. This situation made him crazy, as he left home at the age of 13, to go see the world. He managed to go to the edge of the city, and then he felt right on a hay bale which a train transported to Vanhoover. There, he was scraping by on little jobs, like steed or grocery salesman. With this money, he could buy a small flat, where he lived for one year, while he was working like a regular Earth Pony. But his desire to be who he really was was too strong, as he always trained to be the best he could in every single activity.<br /><br />On September 25th, five years ago, he won a race thanks to his light weight, and a big industry offered him the object of his choice as the first price. He designed himself a Rocket Belt to finally allow him to fly.
