## Description

### Appearance

Ace had black skin, golden eyes and thick curly black hair. She painted gold freckles on herself, and wore lots of gold jewellery. She wore small gold circle glasses, and had a gold septum piercing. She mainly wore the colour black, decorated with gold.

At the beginning of the campaign, Ace had no scars, but over the course of her journey with The Revenants she gained many, two of which were on her face. She wielded a small rapier that doubled as a cane, with a pommel of a die.

### Personality

Ace was considered to be somewhat of an eccentric, despite her noble upbringing. She often acted quickly, sometimes without thinking things through properly. She valued having fun, and this showed through much of her journey with The Revenants. She acted as a reminder of good things in a group that was otherwise full of pessimists. Even though her hijinks were entertaining to her friends, they often put them all in situations that someone else would have to talk them out of.

Despite her noble upbringing, Ace never truly acted as though she was above any of the low born members of her party, unless the situation called for it. Her lack of worldly knowledge from her sheltered childhood, such as how to socialise, often put her in precarious positions. Her banishment from Goldengate to Moonveil forced her to fend for herself without money to protect her, so she was able to understand those around her better.

Quickly after meeting The Revenants, Ace shared much about her life with them, including her real name and her goals. Even though she wanted to be secretive, she found it difficult to keep information to herself, sharing not only personal details, but often sensitive subjects to the rest of her group.

## Biography

### Background

Ace is the bastard daughter of Jayla Lixarian and an unknown father. Due to her step-father, Jayson Lixarian, never claiming her as his own, she was not included in the line of inheritance to Goldengate. Because of this, she had much more freedom than her elder half-brother Jayciri. At some point, she took to gambling, and ended up losing a significant amount of money. This resulted in her family exiling her from Goldengate, until she was able to get the money back.

After her exile, Ace went to Moonveil, and opened a casino named the Ace of Spades, and ran it alongside Anders, who had been sent with her by her mother. Ace continued to gamble, and in doing so ruined any chance of being able to return home.

## Relationships

### Anders

Ace and Anders were best friends, but before that he was her guard. When she was growing up in Goldengate, he looked after her, and even came with her to Moonveil after her exile. She trusted him with all her information, and relied on him heavily to help her in running the Ace of Spades, but also in working towards going home. Despite the fact that he was sent to be her guard, the two developed a close friendship and a deep level of trust. After her death, Anders went mad, and began to imitate her. Even after he had regained his senses, he could not let go of the personality he had developed.

### Karutaar

Ace and Karutaar were good friends with a somewhat tense relationship. When they were reunited in 297 AU, Ace blackmailed Karutaar into working as her muscle, but later they moved past this and developed a friendship.

Ace would often see Karutaar gambling at the Ace of Spades sometime before the beginning of the campaign, and noticed she had amassed a large debt, before disappearing completely. This caused a distrust between the two, but after travelling to Aum together and joining the Lifelight Coup, they had come to rely on each other. Karutaar often found Ace to be a risk to their mission due to her recklessness and lack of a filter, but still entrusted her with important details of the plans they made. Ace questioned Karutaar a lot about her past, especially about the death of her wife, but Karutaar always refused to tell. After Ace's death, Karutaar regretted that she had never given Ace her answers.

In the fight that led to Ace's death, Karutaar believed that she could not heal her without putting herself in danger, and so focused on fighting instead. After Ace died, she realised that she had no energy left to bring her back to life, which she had planned to do instead of healing her. She contacted Hewitt to bring Ace back, giving him yet another favour, but Ace refused to return. This deeply upset Karutaar, as she felt abandoned by Ace, even though she could respect her decision. Karutaar attempted to respect Ace's wishes, and returned her body to her mother in Goldengate.
