History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_One_Piece_characters#Portgas_D._Ace
Abilities & Physical Abnormalities: Ace has the ability to turn himself into fire, as well as use fire in multiple ways from fireballs to walls of fire. He is also narcoleptic and can fall asleep in the most random of places. One other abnormality on the physical level is the tattoo on his back. On his back is a large tattoo in the shape of a manji, with the crest of the whitebeard pirates in the center.
Personality: Despite who is adoptive brother is, Ace is actually a mature and polite individual. He is intelligent and tends to be less obnoxious than Luffy. At first, Ace was downright rude to everyone, preferring to be cold and cruel to anyone he wasn't familiar with. It took meeting Shanks and asking a friend on how he should address the person who saved Luffy's life to change his outlook on life.
Unlike Luffy, Ace had a problem accepting who is father was. His father Gol D. Roger was considered a devil by many, and that fact caused Ace to even question why he was alive. The truth of the matter was, he didn't understand why anyone else would want him to even live considering who is father was. Even after he denounced his true father and took Whitebeard as his father, he still had his “daddy issues”. All he really wanted to know if he should have even been born.
The one trait he shared with his father was his recklessness. Ace was fiercely loyal and dove into dangerous situations head first, especially when it involved his crew or his family. The one other thing he shared with his father (and his adopted brother) was his bottomless stomach.
Ace is also easy to provoke especially when it comes to people he care for. He gets emotional very quickly and become violent towards anyone who has insulted the people close to him. When Teach killed one of his own crew mates (something that is against the code of the Whitebeard pirates), Ace immediately went off after him in order to exact vengeance.
All of these traits sound quite serious, but even then Ace is known to enjoy partying and having a good time. One example of this is when he boards Buggy's ship due to the smell of the food and decides to stay and have a good time for a little while. On top of that, Ace has a habit of falling asleep in his food, and when he is awake in a restaurant he is known to “Dine and Dash”
What are your plans for the character in-game?
Ace would want to learn as much as possible, and take the second chance he has gotten for everything that it's worth.
Anything else?
Complete TWO out of the FOUR options.
i) IC Questionnaire (can be found on the application page)
(As this questionnaire is entirely IC, your character is free to lie.)
What do you prefer to be known as? Ace is fine.
How old are you? Twenty
Do you have any history in combat? I've been in numerous battles, some I've won and others.. I've lost. But, one thing I've come to understand is that you can never leave your crew behind or allow them to get hurt, if I have to risk my own life, I'll gladly do that.
If so, have you ever killed? Yes
i) How do you feel when you get involved in some project that calls for immediate and rapid activity? Those are the best kinds, I don't like waiting around.
ii) Do you organize and initiate leisure activities? I'm not a very good organizer, but if it's a party, I'm completely there.
iii) What role do you take when working in a group? Leader
iv) How talkative are you around other people? Depends on who you ask. If you ask some of my crew, they might say I talk too much, but I don't really think I do.
v) What three things would you want to have with you on a desert island? State your reasoning. My hat. It's good for keeping the sun out of my eyes, and it's pretty important to me. A knife. You really never know when you'll need to cut something down for food or shelter. And can I have a magic pot? One that is constantly full with food. I mean, you never said they had to be real items, right? I'm joking about the last one, of course.
vi) Is it important to be liked by a wide range of people? It's important that you're well liked, you never know when you'll need someone to lean on or when you'll need to be the person that other people lean on.
vii) When the odds are against you, is it worth taking a chance?It's always worth taking the chance if there's a reason to take the chance. If your crew or friends are in danger there should be no hesitation.
viii) Do you consider yourself to be an impulsive person? Completely, sometimes I can even be a little reckless, but even then I try to be careful and not step on too many toes.
ix) Would you agree that planning things ahead takes the fun out of life? Of course!
x) Do you like surprises? I love surprises, especially if they involve a buffet...
xi) Do you sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with you?Always...
xii) Do you consider yourself to be smarter than your superiors, and disagree with their decisions? Superiors are superiors for a reason, even if I don't agree with what they decide
xiii)Lastly, how do you feel about cabbages? They're okay if they're cooked right.
=Prose Sample=
There was always one thing that Ace wanted more than anything, it wasn't peace and it wasn't money or fame. He wanted to know where he belonged in the world, who he was , why he was alive. When he thought about it, it was one of those things that seemed like he would never find out. Why was he alive? Why would anyone even want him alive? Through all his bravado and good nature humor, he was a man of dark thoughts.
But, as much as he had those thoughts, he had a crew that he had to take care of. He was the commander of Whitebeard's second division. He has responsibilities not only to Whitebeard, but to his crew as well. As much as he got down on himself, he still had the others, his friends and family. People that meant everything to him, the people that cared deeply enough for him to start a war over his life. He was the son of a devil, someone that the world hated for who he was, he didn't deserve to live, yet they were in front of him, fighting with everything they had.
It brought a smile to his face, even through the pain that was radiating from his chest. He knew that he was going to die, thewound was too large to heal from. Still he couldn't help but have asmile on his face. Luffy was safe and he would continue on to hisdream and that was all that mattered.
