## History

### Early Life

Ace was born on an unknown planet. They served as a soldier for a corpro-state for some time before fleeing their position. They eventually found their way to Earth 3, where they joined up with the ARCA company. Following the glassing of Earth 3 by alien forces, Ace became one of ARCA's salvage pilots.

### Prologue

Ace joined Asher Halloween's group in the field in response to a distress call from a group of stranded UEA troops. They were the first to arrive after Asher himself, and helped the group dispatch two alien mechs. After the first battle ceased, Ace advised Forsetti Galerian to scout out any possible reinforcements, which she did. Ace joined the team as they journeyed east to establish a secure communication line. Upon arriving, the group found themselves in a burning forest packed with alien mechs. Ace immediately jumped into the fray, fighting on the front lines to out the aliens from their position at the far east end of the battlefield. Partway through the battle, however, Ace was repeatedly targeted by several alien mechs, which severely damaged their own mech and forced them into a risky position where they could not move much in order to avoid further critical damage. Near the end of the battle, Ace was able to finally move. They rushed the last remaining alien mech and suplexed it into the ground before destroying it and killing its pilot with their beam saber. On the way back to Angresst Spaceport, Ceti gave Ace the callsign "Suplex", which they accepted, saying it was preferable to "Pink", another callsign suggested to them at some point in the past.

Upon returning to base, Ace and Ceti dropped off their damaged mechs for immediate repairs. They then regrouped with their team at ARCA's engineering facility, where Ace took the lead in informing Moon about the damage after Ceti expressed fear at the idea. After this, they joined their team for a break in a nearby common area, where they rested in a large blanket alongside Ceti. During the break, Ace commented on whether or not the alien force was a hive mind, as well as if they had a concept of currency. To demonstrate the concept of a hive mind, they explained ants to Ceti, based on stories they heard from spacers in their childhood. After Ceti said that the current crisis was uniquely horrible, Ace disagreed, saying they'd seen worse. After Ceti challenged this, they briefly spoke about their experiences seeing the absolute worst of humanity as a soldier. The next day, they joined their team again on a mission in the desolate areas around the spaceport.

## Abilities

Ace is a skilled mech pilot. They specifically are skilled in melee mech combat using a beam saber. They are also a solid strategist.
