#Personality ;
Rat Pack embodies the old fashioned style and class of Las Pegasus, at least, he claims that he does. He's a charmer, a smooth talker, and a gambler in every sense of the word.
He has a dedication to a style that many would call "old fashioned". He oftentimes uses words and phrases that many ponies don't use anymore, like "Doll, gass, Dig, Scene, Scram, Fink, Sharp" and plenty more.
It's no secret that he's rather flirtatious, but he always treats every mare like a proper lady... Which tends to cause problems when the mare in question isn't really the 'ladylike' type, which really throws him off his game. But he doesn't let that stop him from trying with nearly every mare he meets.
He is a gambler after all, he can't resist a good bet or anything that he even has a remote chance of winning. Though he refuses to admit the fact that he has horrible luck.
All in all... he's smooth, calm and charming. He's a bit slow to upset, but if something manages to set him off, he has some real problems with his temper.
#History ;
Rat Pack was born and raised in the center of Las Pegasus. His family had owned the oldest operating casino in the city, The Troticana. While most casinos had a theme, The Troticana maintained it's old-fashioned charm as its 'theme'.
Rat Pack grew up with that same charm. Raising a little colt in the middle of a casino on the Las Pegasus strip may sound like a horrible idea, and it always concerned his parents, but Rat Pack loved it. From a young age he would sneak onto the casino floor and mingle with the guests, or sneak backstage and meet the entertainers who performed at the casino.
Eventually, Rat Pack discovered that he had a knack for singing, and began to fill in whenever an entertainer had to cancel. As he grew up, he began to experience the Las Pegasus lifestyle more and more, and his love of gambling had gotten him into trouble almost as much as his flirtatious behavior.
His unique style and singing skill got him pretty famous around town, and plenty of folks would come just to hear him sing. But, soon it started to not be enough for him. He decided that he wanted to hit the road and spread his fame, maybe even stretching into other forms of entertainment. This is why he's taken to the road, traveling around and singing wherever he can, hoping for a big break as an entertainer, singing and more.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;...The room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back.
Like the pegasus sings,
Ain't that a hole in the wings?
The lounge of the Trotacana was filled with the usual crowd, and Rat Pack was with his usual band. He was in his element. The glow of neon signs, the jingles and rattles of slot machines in the distance. Ask him any other day, and he wouldn't have given it up for the world.My head keeps spinning,
I go to sleep and keep grinning.
If this is just the beginning,
My life is gonna be,
Beautiful.
But today was different. Today was special, and why he couldn't find a single empty seat in the crowd. Today was the last day he was going to perform in Las Pegasus for a long time. He was about to hit the road, ready for whatever Equestria threw at him. He was making the ultimate gamble, and he was ready for it. He knew he had a winning hand.I've sunshine enough to spread,
It's just like that pony said.
Just my luck,
ain't that buck,
in the head!
"Thank you ladies and gents. It's been a real gas singing for you all. I promise, I'll be swingin' back this way real soon." He gives the band a tip of his fedora. "Take it away boys, try not to miss me too much" He trotted offstage.
He decided to take one last spin around the casino floor before he started to pack his bags. On his way over to the roulette, he spotted a beautiful mare and slinked up alongside her, deciding to take one last gamble... and he didn't mean the roulette.
"Say there Doll, I don't suppose you're hidin' a horn under that mane? Because I think you're trying to put me under a spell..." He flashed her a smile, getting a giggle from her. Rat Pack grinned. Looks like his last night in Las Pegasus would be one to remember, or so he hoped, if his luck kept up.
