Ace||Alice
Age:
23
Occupation:
P.E teacher
Appearance:
Ace has dark hair that she has kept in a long bob and is parted to the right side of her face. Which is why when she ties it up; her bangs obscure the side of her face and the corner of her right eye. Lightly tanned skin covers a body riddled with small scars and shapes into a slender form. Ace is tall but her curves are distributed nicely over her body. Pale green eyes match contrast with her favorite color theme and often portray a cold and calculating killer. However more often than not people rarely catch a glimpse of these eyes as Ace is often wearing specially designed shades to protect her eyes from bright light. However when on the job, Ace will often wear a black bodysuit that stops just below her slender shoulders and thighs. It covers her neck fully and continues along her back until it reaches the lower part where it opens up and reveals her tattoo. Her hands are accented with fingerless gloves that end just above her elbows. She wears black pants that reach as high as her thighs and covers the arch of her boot clad feet. Overall Aceâs color theme is black and is also her preference when choosing clothing to wear outside of work. And almost always she will be seen wearing her signature porcelain mask. There is some sentimental value behind it as it usually means sheâs reverting to her old self or Alice has dominated their body.
Personality:
Ace actually has two personalities, the dominant one being Ace. Alice usually only surfaces when Ace loses consciousness or when provoked. There is a third persona within Ace that became apparent when her abilities manifested, that persona being called the Third Child. No one, not even Ace (Alice) knows of who or what the Third Child is.
Ace||Although both are smart, Ace is more of the quite type. She often amuses herself by watching the blunders of humans and even mutants. She doesnât really care much for people but over time Ace has spent with the X-men has softened her to the point where she can almost be a normal person albeit cold and harsh. Ace gives off the air of being calm and carefree but when provoked she will show her true colors. She has a dislike for killing but will if she must, so long as she has a reason. However she wonât show remorse to her actions as she is quite apathetic to those around her and doesnât take much interest in outside affairs unless they affect her directly. The only person she would show some feeling to is the Professor and she can be somewhat playful to those in the mansion.
Alice||Alice is in a sense the complete opposite of Ace. Cold and cunning she isnât afraid to get her hands dirty and enjoys seeing the pain of others. To sum it up, Alice is the result of Aceâs time in MI7. Alice is also quite apathetic especially if it has nothing to do with her and if she doesnât benefit from it she could care less. It is often wondered as to whether or not Alice is sane or if she was the one talking to you. And like Ace, they both have a primal fear of the Third Child, both agreeing that it is best not to know of who and what the Third Child is.
Mutant Classification||Alpa
MUTANT POWERS:
Ace
1) Shadow Speak||Ace is able to hear the shadows voices; they will whisper to her all sorts of things in her ear, such as events that happened in the past, present and sometimes the future. Unfortunately Ace is incapable of using it to its full potential due to the fact that it is all within her mind. All those voices is like sending her brain into override trying to sort through all the bits of information that can cause severe headaches and sometimes blackouts at its worst, and itâs because of this that she canât risk it as by doing so Alice wakes up and takes over. So Ace subconsciously puts up a wall around her mind known as Black Void to block out the voices and telepaths, all save for the strongest. (i.e. Jean)
Alice
2) Shadow Clone|| Alice is able to make up to five duplicates of herself or of something else from her shadow. They are restricted to a three mile radius as they cannot stray too far from their original, that and they donât last for very long. With the longest duration being 2 hours as it requires quite a bit of energy to create them. The clones have minds of their own, often doing as they please unless given an order to do otherwise.
Ace&Alice
3) Ace in simpler terms is superhuman, ranging from her speed to her endurance. None of what she can do could possibly be labeled as something a human can do. And the fact that she can withstand even hits from those with superhuman strength, often make her peers question her as to whether or not she was a human with powers or just a plain monster. This is due to her enhanced durability but she does have a breaking point. The same goes for her other attributes, although she may appear superhuman, her senses are merely enhanced to the point they seem superhuman. But they are on a lower level compared to mutants who solely have superhuman attributes.
4) Shadow manipulation||As the name states her mutant power allows her to manipulate the shadows around her to create all sorts of constructs as well as make it solid. These constructs can range from being able to form shields for defense or tentacles that could be used for offense.
5) Shadow dimension||Capable of traveling to a second parallel universe via shadows. This ability has proven to be quite useful, as she is able to go from one location to another without too much trouble. However there are things, creatures of pure darkness that live within this separate dimension that guard this world. This world is also connected to Aceâs mental state.
6) Black Void||This state is more or less a natural happening were it concerns her abilities. In order to block out the shadows âvoicesâ, Ace shrouded her mind in total darkness. Meaning no telepath can read or enter her mind without Ace opening the way. If they were to try and force their way in they would be met by a wall of voices however only the strongest telepaths, (i.e. Jean) could possibly break threw by force. Ace is also able to expand this to those around her in a two mile radius but she rarely uses it as it leaves herself vulnerable to physic attacks, something she has a dislike for dealing with.
Weapon||A two piece collapsible staff, Aceâs signature weapon is quite special to her, said special thing being its ability to generate electricity. The amount of voltage it has depends on how much kinetic energy was created. The only other weapon Ace ever uses a scythe made from pure solidified shadow, hence the nickname The Black Reaper.
Martial Artist|| It's almost inhuman to watch her at work, there isn't a bit of wasted movement and her patience is lethal. Ace is able to perform acrobatic movements even on moving vehicles which she has done so multiple times in the past. She knows how and where to hit her enemy, vicious attack patterns keep her opponent off balance and leave them little room to make any kind of error without being punished for it. She was trained to be more of a weapon than a woman, and the brutal blunt strikes she can deliver end most brawls quickly. Her near flawlessness in this skill is mostly thanks to her enhanced senses and body. However that doesnât mean she canât be beat in a fight, Ace most certainly isnât the strongest fighter around but compared to others within MI7 she was probably one of the best.
CafĂ© Owner||Ace owns a small cafĂ© not too far from the institute. She usually opens it up only on the weekends but there have been times where sheâll open it during the week. The cafĂ© is known to support mutants and it provides jobs to those who donât have any.
History:
Her mutant powers awakened when she was six when a man tried to molest her. Her parents, both scientist of MI7, decided to submit her as a test subject instead of trying to help her cope with her trauma. They saw her as nothing more than a tool for them to better understand mutants and so they gave the officials permission to do as they pleased with her, so long as it gave them results Because of her young age, Ace was subjected to all forms of abuse not only from the officals but her parents as well. At this point in time it isnât very clear as to who was the first persona to form between Ace and Alice. But they do have an estimate of when the other personality formed, that age being around ten or eleven, when Ace was assigned her first kill mission. They do know for a fact that the fabled Third Child was there from the moment her powers manifested to now where she has been locked up by both active personas.
After years of training and working under the supervision of MI7, Ace finally saw her opportunity to leave the place for good. This came in the form of Professor Xavier, a mutant who managed to persuade her into joining him. The opportunity came about when her mutant powers went haywire and she was having trouble keeping Alice at bay, along with the rumor that she had an outside affair and was with child. But this is known only to the Professor who helped Ace keep Alice back. Once she left England with Xavier, Ace decided to take up the teacher position of the studentâs physical education and with those who chose to do the Danger Room training on the side.
Other: MI7 is an organization in England, the branch she was part was specifically made up of mutants who served as agents for specific purposes depending on their mutant power. For Ace it was the assassination squad. Most agents were orphaned or kidnapped at a young age so they grew up within the walls of MI7. The scientists also showed no mercy when it came to experimenting the limits of each and every mutant, no matter their age. Unfortunately leaving is not an option, very few have escaped from MI7 and the only known and permanent way is by death.
