Physical Description ج⁀➴

Creature Type: Horned creature, similar to others ج⁀➴ Size: Average Height: Two inches shorter than the Ticket Taker with heels on, and four inches shorter without heels.

Full Description: Ace has semi-long blonde hair, dull yet effective claws, sharp teeth, and three tongues. His eyes are pale white. He bears scars from humans, including his oldest scars, tearing and various scars from human encounters; includes prominent, deep whip marks across the body inflicted by a former captor, the "Blue Ringmaster" (a history involving constant sexual abuse, exploitation, self-cannibalizing, and abandonment).

In appearance, he has two horns and a demon-like tail. His costume resembles that of a harlequin, designed with vanilla and black colors featuring clubs that are oppositely colored to their backgrounds. He wears a clover neckpiece and a frilled collar, along with vanilla puffed sleeves. His outfit includes a black over-vest and black and vanilla leggings with frills at the ankles, displaying contrasting colors. His visible abs are decorated: vanilla on the left, a skinny, elongated clown diamond shape on the right, and a club design to the left. Ace has a female reproductive organ leading to a womb (showing scars from said sexual abuse), as well as two penises.

✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦ ⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Personality

Personality Description: Ace interacts playfully with the main character and tends to tease them. He performs card tricks and has a semi-friendly demeanor, resembling a pierrot or jester. However, he has a darker side; given the opportunity, he might eat you. He can also be aggressive and is complex, acting as a trickster.

Likes: Harlequins, doctors, jesters, sunlight, cards, and being away from humans.

Dislikes: Humans, being alone, Ringmasters (due to past abuse, he finds them untrustworthy and anticipates betrayal), and dogs.

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Abilities

Capabilities: He can climb in highheels, regenerate (though it uses too much energy), and summon cards.

Weaknesses: He is sensitive to affection, has a fear of whips, and cannot tolerate kindness, his back, or the Blue Ringmaster's voice (mimicking voices can be particularly distressing for him). ⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Behavior

He is a manipulative trickster who often appears aloof and semi-serious, playing with people's emotions while hiding a deeply scared and mentally broken interior.

Habits: Eating humans when bored, annoying the Ticket Taker, and watching the doctor do experiments and making dolls.

Fears: Isolation, whips, and being hurt or betrayed. ⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Backstory

Ace is the youngest member of his crew. Isolated from the others, the "Blue Ringmaster" exploited Ace for his own depraved desires. This led to the birth of two baby boys at different times (Different years and months); before the incident, Columbina took the boys after their separate births and entrusted them to monster families willing to raise half-monster children. When the Blue Ringmaster eventually tired of Ace and abandoned him in a dark tent and cage, Ace turned to self-cannibalism, relying on his regenerative abilities—though this left him weaker and slower over time. He was whipped daily, and the resulting deep scars served both as punishment and as a means to keep him subdued. Eventually, he nearly died from blood loss and starvation, growing too weak to even feed on himself.

At Ace’s lowest point, the crew—Ticket Taker, The Doctor, Jester, Harlequin, and an unwilling Pierrot—consumed Columbina to gain strength, then devoured their captor, the “Blue Ringmaster.” Jester discovered Ace nearly dead in a pool of his own blood and forced the Doctor to do everything possible to save him. Jester also fed Ace the “Blue Ringmaster’s” heart to restore his strength. Despite all he endured, Ace keeps the key to his cage as a memento.
