Biographical information
Name: Bolt
Gender: Male
Race: Dragon
Age: Young Adult
Occupation: Wandering Hero

Description/ Physique:
Bolt is A pony sized dragon with blue scales and silver spikes and horns. He is full grown yet only as big as a male stallion. He has been seen walking on all fours as well as two feet. He is a laid-back and cool-headed character. Like his name would imply, Bolt can move at the speed of sound (and even exceed this), and has lightning fast reflexes to match (hence his name) In addition to this being a dragon also grants him the additional abilities to fly breath fire and has immense dragon level strength But his speed is his greatest feat.

Concept
I created Bolt as a tribute to my love of classic gaming. His powers and personality and are attributed to Sonic The Hedgehog as he's a super speedy show off. His design is taken from another classic game hero Spyro The dragon. I chose Spyro because I've always had a love for the primal power and evil nature of dragons. Bolt is loaded with special abilities and powers just like any retro video game character, this is fun as I can use them creatively for story purposes. In the end if Bolt is powerful,fun,flashy and over the top just like classic video games.

Personality
Bolt is impulsive and passionate he loves the spotlight and fighting more than anything else in the world. Bolt finds fun in fighting monsters and proving his superiority. Bolt is incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of creatures,this is because as a dragon this makes him exceedingly arrogant, he believes all other lifeforms are below him in power and ability. Bolt is somewhat a show off and often makes a performance out of every fight. Bolt is seemingly unmovable in the face of danger meeting it head on with excitement and skill. The blue dragon maintains a laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Bolt is very in-tune with his draconic instincts as he's prideful,selfish and very quick to anger. These instincts lead to to his very Alpha Male behavior. For example Bolt can become very defensive around other males as he doesn't respect very many of them. He's often cited as merciless, appearing to have no sympathy for the others at times. He gets a kick out of rubbing others the wrong way specifically those in positions of power. Bolt also used degrading nicknames for those he didn't respect. This however balances out as Bolt has a soft spot and respect for women. This tends to be because he doesn't feel his inflated ego is threatened by them. Overall, he was very aggressive and quick to snap back at others who attempted to provoke him.

While not shown preforming stunts or fighting Bolt is a very relaxed person with vast amounts of friendliness for his fellow Equestrains. While Bolt is one of the most friendly and charming guys you could meet that doesn't exactly make him a good person. The blue dragon while friendly is exceedingly and overwhelming selfish,egoistical and incredibility uncompassionate. If somebody asked Bolt to fight a large monster or move a heavy item he'd gladly grant the request,because it allows him to show off, as opposed if a pony was on fire and came to Bolt asking for help he'd either ignore them or if he was feeling rather sadistic he'd just laugh at them. While the makings of a good friend lay on the surface one should never come to rely on or trust Bolt. The only thing Bolt admires is action as he believes they speak louder than words. Given his flare for dramatics Bolt often chronicles his adventures and releases them as novels. Despite the rather forceful extent of Bolt's abilities he is also quite the talented writer and wondering philosopher, believing strongly in freedom and ones free will. Bolt enjoys flirting and the back and forth romance and courting brings as well.

Powers and abilities
Bolt has the ability to move and react at incredible speeds, many orders of magnitude greater than those of ordinary ponies. He could run at velocities causing the sound barrier to shatter every time he takes off. Bolt has shown to have dragon strength, as seen when punching through stone with brute force, He can also carry ponies and objects that are several times his weight. It is debatable whether his attack's main power comes from his supersonic speed or his dragon strength, or a combination of both. Most moves that Bolt performs while fighting involve his feet and legs more than his hands, because of years of running at sonic sounds he has a killer kick. He can also being a fire dragon breath and manipulate fire as well as being completely immune to his native element.

In line with his super speed, Bolt has displayed amazing feats of movement and has the reaction time to match. He possesses great acrobatic skills and agility, alongside astonishing reflexes. Bolt relies on his animal instincts to avoid hitting things when running at super speed. Should Bolt ever be running at fast uncontrollable speeds, he can use the Drift by opening his wings to create anti velocity drag to properly control his momentum, he also uses his wings to break as well as turn. several times, Bolt has been shown to have great resilience to physical damage. However he has a low tolerance to magic often getting caught in of Spells from high level unicorns due his crippling ego getting the best of him.

Likes: Like most dragons Bolt is totally obsessed with treasure. He's constantly on the watch for gems and gold he can claim as his own too add to his horde. Unlike Spike Bolt is ruled by his draconic instincts much like the teenage dragons displayed in the show only with a more positive spin as he desires to be a hero. Bolt revels in dangerous situations as they allow him to show off. Not that he'd ever admit it but the blue speedster has a massive crush on Twilight Sparkle. He has nothing but respect for her accomplishments and hopes to someday work his way into her circle of friends. However seeing as how Twilight often reacts negatively to arrogance that's not likely to happen.   

Dislikes: Beyond all measure Bolt despises authority figures. Free as the wind he's never been one to mix with rules and regulations. People who are uppity or proper frequently get on the dragons nerves as he'll try to press their buttons. However he has one exception to this rule. He has nothing but respect for the purple pony Twilight as he's been an admirer of her exploits for a long time.

Motivation: Like most dragons Bolt is motivated by greed and is totally obsessed with treasure. Beyond this fame and glory are his goals. He's waiting for a day something big enough comes to prove he's just as good as he boasts.

Strengths: Aside from his super sonic running speed and natural abilities as a dragon Bolt is quick witted,snarky,brash and confident. Never one to stop and question his own motives his selfish desires are sustained by boundless willpower to prove he's the best.

Weaknesses/Flaws: Bolt has an ego so big it would crush a lesser dragon. This causes him to act recklessly often landing him in situations that turn south very quickly for him. Such as picking fights with far more powerful opponents and mouthing off in front of ponies who can put him in his place. Bolt is also extremely weak against magic from the smallest levitation spell to impressive feats of magical energy beams. He also has a big mouth That leads to boasting about acts way beyond his capabilities. He is also a weak flier as his wings are to big and bulky to allow for swift movements in the air. He instead uses his impressive wingspan to break and slow him down when turning corners while running at high speeds.

Fears: Despite all of his power and pride The royal sisters and dragons bigger than himself scare the hell out of Bolt. When you can move the moon or sun it makes carrying a bolder or breaking the sound barrier seem trivial. He also has a massive crush on the Princess of Friendship. He will often try daring feats and brash acts to impress her and is terrified one of these days Twilight will catch on.

Hello, Friendly neighborhood RP helper here!

 

Looking over this thread, I'm glad to see another dragon OC coming to the boards!  Unfortunately, I have to say, 'stillborn brought back to life a bolt of lightning' does go a bit beyond the pale for the World of Equestria boards, though it could pass in the Free-for-all space.  If you take that out, I think we can pass this along!

No worries I thought that may be a tad dark so I was prepared to gut it in order to make the cut. Thanks looking over the ol profile. I've removed the origin story completely and I'll just leave how a dragon got super speed a mystery
