#Personality ;
Big shot is a very nice guy just like his cousin Mignon, but a lot more energetic and social than his cousin. Big shot usually lets others with more experience tell him what to do but with his athletic background knows how to lead when situation calls for it . Being a athlete means he is a sports nut. He views himself as a great leader as he has lead his own teams in sports. However win or lose he keeps his head up high and takes each competition and situation as a learning experience. When he is put into a leader situation he always accepts all the responsibilities that come with that title and always remains calm. He loves to be the life of the party and when meeting someone new he likes to be the one who first approaches.
When in a slump or sad all functions stop for Big shot. He becomes lazy and can't keep focused. Though these slumps don't come often Big shot tends to over dramatizes them.
When angry he is a force to be reckoned with as he doesn't think clearly about his actions. Also he uses his big size and imposing figure to intimidate all smaller ponies and being significantly taller than the average pony including his cousin that's big.
Big shot also tends to be a smooth talker with mares that meet his fancy. He might try and impress them with his knowledge of the world or with his physique.
Big shot also has the meaning of the elements of harmony close to his core values trying to implement what they represent into his everyday life.
Big shot can also be mischievous on occasion, but not often. He also enjoys doing things outside what his cutie mark implies should be his talent. Much like his cousin he enjoys music, art, literature, and even cooks a bit, but leaves most of that to mignon still whenever they do meet up.
#History ;Big shot is the son of a earth pony and a pegasus mother, he is also related to Mignon through the fathers side. In the beginning both he and Mignon's family lived out in the country side, but before starting school Big shot's parents moved to ponyville, believing a more diverse schooling system would be more beneficial to Big shot's social skills and learning about how every pony has his and her roles in life whether they are a earth pony, pegasi, or unicorn like his cousin and aunt.When starting school in ponyville his mother had him attend a school in cloudsdale for flight and weather control. He was the fastest in his class, but when he observed rainbow in the stands during race where she pulled of the sonic rainboom he knew he was nowhere near that quick, but he practiced everyday after that trying to surpass that and to be the fastest.
As Big shot got older and bigger so did his yearning for competition and being active in general. He still would race both in the skies and ground, but he tooks a liking to different sports and physical activities. He started helping his father and other farmer ponies plow their fields, assisting his mother and the other pegasi with weather, playing sports like hoofball,football,basketball, and others with friends and classmates. It was while working under the farmers and pegasi's leadership that he learned what leaders do and how they should act.He then took what he learned and applied it to sports he played, making him popular among fellow teammates and those in his class. In fact it was during a basketball game, last few seconds, takes the final shot,sinks it. It was the very 1st time he ever hit a game winner, his heart pumping, his body feeling like a weight had been dropped, he loved it. It was at that moment he realized that competition was his life and so was working towards sweet victory and it was also then that he got his cutie mark. He was happy, he enjoyed working out, he enjoyed the competition, he enjoyed the physical and mental labor that went into some of these sports and activities.He especially loved when he could make other shine through his hard work, whether in the field with the farmers, up in the clouds with the pegasi, or on the field/court with teammates he was only one part in a larger picture and he wanted to make sure that his work shown on his teammates that the same back at him.
After receiving his cutie mark Big Shot continued to work hard and work out. As a pegasi his physique was a lot more broad and robust from all the manual work he helped his father has him do and all the lifting. However with all the flying he did with his mother his wings grew and became acustomed to the additional weight and overtime it felt like he was no lighter that air itself when he was flying. However even as his speeds improved to very impressive feats he still couldn't match what he say when he was a filly when rainbow dash pulled off the sonic rainboom....however now he felt ok with it.After all it was that moment that ignited him to train so hard instead of just being average or slightly above it.Even if he didn't know Rainbow dash personally he was thankful for her being there, even though she was naturally talented in speed and he could never surpass the rainboom he worked hard everyday to where he was now and learned so much through the experience that the goal no longer really mattered, for he had already achieved so much more then he ever set out to accomplish when he was that colt in the stand.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;
Big shot dashed downwards, straight towards the ground, may ponies watching in amazement. Attached to his back was a device spewing out black smoke leaving a greyish trail over time behind him. While zipping through the air he also was grabbing rings on balloons little fillies and colts had released into the air. He enjoyed having the little ones involved in the shows and they enjoyed helping Big Shot with his show for every show was something different, never were two shows exactly the same. After grabbing the last ring he dropped them on the ground and pulled up just inches away from the wooden stage before assenting back into the blue sky. The forceful winds messing up all the ponies manes. Big shot went straight up and kept going until he couldn't and more and corkscrewed heading back down towards earth attempting a sonic boom at least to compete with rainbow dash's sonic rainboom. He kepts going faster, faster, faster, and for a moment felt like something would happen however he was approaching ground quick and rather no have become a flat pancake on the ground. Once again just inches before hitting the ground he flapped his wings once and landed gracefully on the big x on the stage. The crowd cheered for another great show. It was no wonderbolts aerial circus, but he did what he could do as one stallion.
After giving his goodbye's Big shot headed to what he called "half of his house" it was a small little thing, but he called it home and just a few miles above was a cloud that help the 2nd half of his house. Big shot enjoyed both living on the ground and in the clouds. Not only was it a good workout but the cloud house was a great place to stay and think. Big shot took a basketball off the floor and headed outback. Outside was apple basket nailed to a tree and though he could afford a real net and court this is how he learned to play when he was younger and it felt nostalgic. Also shooting around helped him think "I can make tornadoes, summon strong winds, but I can't break the sounds barrier. I don't know how she does it, but uggghhhhh why can't I. I just want to say I really gave her a run for her bits. Even if I didn't win it would be ok just as long as I gave her a run for her bits" He hovered above the ground using his front hooves to shoot.
