### Omega SMP

###### **The beginning**

Ace appeared firstly as a character who was observing his counterpart, seen in the background of streams before he captured his other self and locked him away in the nether. He masqueraded as his other self, adopting that versions roles and friends in the community as they had no clue that their real friend had been taken. Ace then writes a letter to The Overseer of the island, requesting his help in eliminating his other counterpart, he sends this letter to Trick and Ellis who run the post office on the island and also are the only known people who can get in contact with The Overseer. Unfortunately for Ace The Overseer is killed and Caffie becomes the new temporary Overseer. Because of this Caffie receives the letter instead and confront Ace about it at The Ball held shortly after The Overseers death. Caffie is tasked with helping Ace create a portal to the dimension he originally came from, and doubles as a way to keep OG Cryptic from coming back to the island.

###### **OG Cryptics death**

Seolijar appears before Ace at his request and Ace leads the demon into the nether towards Cryptics prison. Seolijar talks to OG Cryptic before drowning him in lava.

###### **The Pisskeepers**

The Pisskeepers is formed by Caffie as a mockery of The Peacekeepers, their goal is to be a general annoyance to The Peackeepers and to have fun with their limited time on the island. During The Pisskeepers short lived existence Genez and Ace become fast friends, forming a mutual bond over their hatred for the island and most of the people on it, they also stop being friends with Fire at this point, as they had joined The Peacekeepers side. The Pisskeepers also formed a pack with Seolijar (the new, new Overseer), who collected on his contracts held by several island participants to grief The Peacekeepers castle and 'ruin their day'. Shortly there after The Pisskeepers are disband.

###### **Aces first death**

Ace is found in The Peacekeepers castle, its unclear what his purpose for being in the castle was but he is confronted by The Peacekeepers after they come back from a meeting. The confrontation ends with Ame and Ace fighting over how the island should be run and how Ace betrayed all his friends. Ace then proceeds to stab Ame in the eye in a fit of rage and gets impaled through the heart in return. Ace dies in The Peacekeepers castle.

###### **Aces return to the island**

Ace is brought back to the island by Kevin, who leaves him information on the current political climate and also several stacks of TNT. His death however has changed him and he returns worse than before, telling Ame, who had betrayed The Peacekeepers and was then locked up underneath the castle, that he 'gained a new perspective' during his time in 'The Void'. He proceeds to thank Ame for killing him and taunts her some more before departing. Ace then blows up the treehouse and school that Kevin and Preston built before also blowing up The Starchives, a chest room that his previous counterpart built. Ace also apologizes to Fire for their previous actions, trying to gain back their trust and asks for an opportunity to make it up to them.

Caffie then finds out about Aces return as asks him to rig tnt under The Peacekeepers castle to break Ame out of prison. During this stream Trick tries to pin the blame of the explosion on Ace but Fire defends them and tells the other Peacekeepers that he's changed for the better, gaining their shaky trust for the time being. Genez shows up later and once again forms a bond with Ace considering both of them had gone a little more off the rails at this point.

###### **The Rebellion arc**

While building The Damn Dam Damnit Ame, freshly rescued from prison, confronts Ace and askes him to join her movement called 'The Rebellion'. Ace joins Ame as her right hand man. Ace then builds a base of operations on Pen Island and creates posters featuring him and Ame (with Aces face blacked out) to put up around the Prime Republic urging others to join The Rebellions side.

Throughout all this Ace continues to act as if he is on The Peacekeepers side to everyone else and funnels Ame information he gathers while hanging around their castle. Ace suggests to The Peacekeepers that they hold a speech on the island to gain back the trust of the other residents, of course Ace rigs the speech to be a set up and Ame and her party crash the speech before holding their own. Ame asks that the islanders consider her side and urge them to join her. Fire, who has once again been betrayed by Ace gets angry and threatens to kill Ace which causes Ame to declare war on The Peacekeepers, stating that they are not fit to help them escape the island, and someone new needs to step up.

###### **Aces second death**

After The Rebellions speech Fire finds a book that Ace had been writing in that lays out exactly how he took over OG Cryptics life on the island. This spurs Fire into action and they form a group of people to go confront Ace about this book and demand that he return his friend. The next day they show up and threaten Ace with the destruction of his book unless he brings back the original Cryptic. He agrees and they all head to the winter home OG Cryptic and Genez built, Ace sends Ame a call for help and she arrives to find Winter and Fire threatening to kill Ace.

Ame and Fire fight about the book, Fire trying to convince Ame that Ace isnt who he says he is and Ame trying to defend Ace. Eventually Fire give Ame the book and she reads it while Ace begins laughing manically. Ace calls them stupid and pathetic and proceeds to explain that they will neither get OG Cryptic back nor will be able to leave the island considering Ace killed OG Cryptic, who was in possession of the first artifact that they need to place in The Oracle to leave. Ace turns to enter the portal to take him home and Ame stabs him twice in the back. Ace dies for his second time on the island and does not return.
