Cutie Mark: A shamrock, for two reasons; he seems to have a great deal of luck in life, in essentially every aspect. He also enjoys nature around him, and loves nothing more than working in the fields at his farm. He obtained it when he came into posession of his farm, which happened out of sheer luck.

 

Backstory: Ashjack isn't quite sure of where he came from or who his parents were, and he honestly doesn't care to find out. The earliest back he can remember was when he was a young filly, and was living on his own in a small tree in a field nearby an apple farm, where he obtained food by stealing the farm's apples. He was caught eventually by the farmer, who drove him far away from his farm with a flaming rage. Ashjack wandered for many days looking for a place to survive, and found a small hut in the middle of a dark forest which he tried to live in. He soon discovered that it was inhabited by a large, elderly Alicorn, which found him hiding in his hut and decided to take him in as his guardian.

 

His Alicorn guardian soon discovered his high intelligence and potential, and brought him up, teaching him a variety of subjects in the arts, sciences, and magicks. He proved very successful with his endeavors, but at times grew very bored of his studies. He was able to control magical powers, albeit being only an Earth Pony. His magical abilities weren't very powerful in their raw state, but he was able to cultivate them and made much from what he barely had. He however grew weary of his studies, and decided to leave the Alicorn and move on. Regretting this along from his exodus journey, he doubled back to the hut, but the hut and the Alicorn has completely vanished. Where the hut had been, he found a note, saying, "Your potential is astounding, and may you one day do something great with your abilities." He then left, pondering what this final lesson could mean.

 

He journeyed on through the forest, until he came to a land splotched with farmland and open plains. Feeling at home, he explored on, until he came onto the outskirts of Ponyville. There, he found a job and a small hut on the outskirts, where he worked as a plowhorse on an apple farm. He ran into a great deal of luck on the job, where the fields he plowed and prepared seemed to yield great crops, when others would fail. he gained the respect for his luckiness with the managing farmer, and was able to score a better job, and a small sum of bonus money. He used his money at an auction for a small apple farm, which he won out of seemingly pure luck.

 

He now resides at his farm, pondering the meaning of what the Alicorn had said to him. He's unsure of what his potential is, and hasn't tried to find out, since he had stopped practicing his magical skills in order to seem like a regular Earth Pony. He has a decent sized group of friends, and is a good friend of Applejack, one of his neighbors. He isn't commonly seen with his friends however, as he is more often than not in the mood for mingling. Some of his pastimes include running and, surprisingly, working the fields. He is quite a fast runner, and a very efficient worker. He also secretly continues his studies solo from where his mentor left him off, at rare intervals.

 

Other: He has an unknown potential, so in roleplays he may at rare times learn a new magical spell, or aquire a new skill. He also has the element of luck on his side, so when he takes a great risk, he a greater chance than most other ponies to end up successful.
