Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade

~Ace's Info~

A quick learner with an upbeat personality and a mischievous streak. Since he and Deuce are both Heartslabyul freshmen in the same class, they regard one another with amicable antagonism. Ace is a fair-skinned young man of average height. He has fluffy, orange hair that flips up at the ends, and average-length bangs that fall around his face and between his eyes. His eyes are bright scarlet in color, and over his left eye is a red marking shaped like a heart. He is often seen showing off an energetic smile. His dorm uniform is similar to the rest of the Heartslabyul students. While in uniform, he wears eyeshadow the same color as his heart-shaped marking. The uniform's top consists of an outer jacket, a patterned vest, and a white, scoop-neck undershirt. The jacket is mainly white with a yellow trim and red underlining. His right sleeve is black, while his left has a black and white checkerboard pattern. Ace is cheerful, mischievous, quick-witted, and highly adaptable. He tends to approach situations casually and dislikes unnecessary seriousness, preferring to joke, improvise, or find an easier route through a problem. He can be lazy about obligations that fail to interest him, sometimes forgetting assignments entirely, but is remarkably quick at devising a solution once consequences become imminent. After forgetting his Enigmics homework, for example, he rapidly works out that another class may already have completed similar questions and plans to use their methods to finish his own during lunch.

He is opportunistic without generally being calculating in a long-term sense. Ace readily notices how a situation can benefit him and has little embarrassment about taking advantage of an opportunity. His hypothetical choice of Azul as an older brother is largely based on Azul's intelligence, money, business prospects, and the benefits Ace imagines receiving through association with him.

Ace often downplays his better qualities. When a video of him giving a crying child a collectible card is interpreted as an act of kindness, he insists that he merely wanted to get rid of something useless and stop the child from crying. His tendency to frame considerate behavior in self-serving terms makes his sincerity difficult to judge, particularly because he seems uncomfortable when other people assign him a more sentimental motive than he intended.

He is socially confident and irreverent, speaking casually even with upperclassmen and quickly becoming comfortable around people. Ace prefers companions who are easygoing, entertaining, and approachable and dislikes stiff or excessively formal interactions. At the same time, he can be provocative and enjoys getting reactions out of people, making teasing, pranks, and playful competition recurring features of his relationships.

Ace also cares more about appearance than his casual attitude initially suggests. He styles his hair, enjoys fashionable clothing, prefers streetwear, knows about designer goods and limited releases, and readily takes advantage of Vil's expertise when given the opportunity to improve his appearance. He can be self-conscious when attention becomes too overt, however, finding his conspicuous birthday sash embarrassing despite enjoying the presents and celebration that come with it.

~Deuce's Info~

An earnest young man who enrolled at Night Raven College with the singular aim of becoming a respectable mage. He tries as hard as he can in his schoolwork, but he can be slow on the uptake, and his grades suffer as a result. Deuce is a fair-skinned young man of average height (173 cm/5'8"). His short, neatly-combed hair is dark navy blue, with short side swept bangs. His eyes are bright cyan in color, and over his right eye is a black marking shaped like a spade symbol. He is often shown with a serious or determined expression.

Deuce is a serious and straightforward person who is constantly working to better himself. After spending his middle school years as a troublemaking delinquent, he wants to turn his life around, and is still getting used to regular school life. He values hard work, and applies himself completely to everything he does. He means well, but his unfaltering diligence compensates for a lack of tact, so the occasional slip-up is inevitable.

Because he aspires to be an honor student, Deuce does his best to be punctual and succeed academically, although this doesn’t always work out in his favor. In most situations, he relies more on instinct than intellect. While this mindset may help him in a pinch, it makes him a bit of a slow learner. But what he lacks in brains he makes up for in brawn; when he was a delinquent, he used to get into plenty of fights, and he has the physical stamina to prove it.

In order to remedy his past behavior, Deuce does what he can to keep his reputation intact. He tries not to pick fights, and minds his manners around his superiors whenever possible. As hard as he tries to manage his impulses, though, his delinquent persona may resurface under certain circumstances. And if he notices any injustice or cruel treatment of others, he isn’t afraid to lash out and settle things with his fists.

Deuce is an only child and lived with his single mother. Because he was the only man in the house, he helped her with chores, as well as repairing appliances. Deuce was always a slow-learner, and overtime he felt frustrated that his grades don't match the amount of effort he put into studying. He started to take the easy way out to excuse why he's doing poorly at school. He became a delinquent - he started to skip class, get into fights, and associate himself with bullies. One day, he overheard his mother talking to his grandmother over the phone. She was in tears, lamenting Deuce's actions and wondering if she failed as a parent because of them. Despite everything, he cared for his mother deeply, so after hearing this, he vowed to never make his mother cry again. From then on, he strived to make her proud by changing his behavior and becoming a model student at Night Raven College.

Ace one day tries to rope the other two into being in a poly with him at lunch. He says it like its just for shits and giggles trying to be nonchalant but he might mean it seriously...

Whether or not Ace is serious is determinant.
