Name Ace Ladarius
Gender Male
Age 21-ish
Species Wizard/Magician. They have longer life span than that of human, but they age the same way as human does.
Occupation Cique du Noire, Illusionist
Appearance Ace has medium length wavy hair that is naturally dark blue color (navy blue). The bangs frame the baby face of his, while the low ponytail counters it with professionalism (the loose hair gets in sight's way sometimes). His pale green eyes are somewhat on the large side due to his innocence, naivety, and curiosity. He stands about 6 feet in height (without any sort of footwear), has a slender body that's sorta built, and is typically seen in a non-too-flashy suit at work.
Picture Hello pixel art.
Personality Ace is pretty naive due to being sheltered for most of his childhood life, and is also a bit of a busybody (has this thing of trying to be nice to everyone) because of how he was brought up. He is most likely going to fall under the role of "big brother" figure (the kind and caring one among group of friends), and/or the role of butler/host. You could even say that he's like a little girl, blushing at inappropriate topics and liking anything that is cute/adorable.
Abilities Ace have to use self defense karate in order to keep "magic" a secret to the world beyond his own, which is why Ace carries around a dagger or a small blade of some sort. This allows him to have quick movements. He doesn't intend to kill with the blade though, since it's more of a tool to scare people way.
He will use magic only during work or in cases of emergency, and being a pacifist that he is, he's naturally strong at supportive, defensive, and healing magic. The Illusionist title allows him to improve in his trickery magic (duplication, concealment, mirage, etc).
Weaknesses If you ever happen to comes across a time where Ace fights back "seriously", you may want to be careful around him. He'll definitely will cause a lot of damage, either to the enemy, the room, himself, and/or even his ally. It is due to lack of experience in offensive moves that Ace have very little control over his attacks.
Ace love things that are really cute (heck, his best friend/companion happens to be a bunny). He'll become completely oblivious to his surroundings when he sees one. And because of his naivety/innocence, it's very easy for him to give his trust to other people. Sometimes, his curiosity will get the best of him as well.
Backstory
Ace has a very good childhood life. His family is very well known in the wizard community, highly respected, and is also rich. Being a good role model student in the magic school he attended was a piece of cake for him. He always do what he's told/expected to do, but due to this strict lifestyle of his, he became very curious on what life's like outside of his own community. Ace quickly start dedicating his studies on cultures/lifestyles different from his own. Amazed by how different the world beyond is, Ace decided to go on an adventure where he can help those who are less unfortunate than him, believing things that are "care-free" and "innocence" in nature (reminds him of his childhood) should not be allowed to go through such hardships
Ace met his friend, Bee (a Magi Bani), sometime at the age of 5 back in a rose garden of his own home (at the time, he was reading a kid's story that contained a Magi Bani as its main character/mascot). His bashful nature as a kid back then had made him somewhat of an easy target for mischievous Bee to tease, but the two of them very much enjoyed each other's company as the time goes by. Due to Ace focusing on helping others (when he got older), Bee felt as though their relationship hasn't been as close-knit as before, after having left their home.
Outside of Bee, the people closest to Ace are definitely his parents (since he's the only child). They spend a lot of time telling to each other about their daily life stories so they understand each other very well (part of routine). Both mother and father teases him about his interests in "cute" things and him trying to be "hero", something that is kinda unbecoming for a growing young man (girly, wild fantasies, childish). As much as they want him to be the successor the family (with Ace being dead set on his want for travel), his parents figured that a defensive wizard like Ace will need an offensive "partner". That type of person/partner is most likely going to be found outside of their wizard community, so they decided that it's about time for them to let their only child fend on his own. They can always watch him from afar.
Ace is very grateful to his family, friends, and the whole community that he left behind. To return their favor, he vows to keep their teachings a secret from the outside world like he was asked to. In order to lessen his loneliness and nostalgia of his childhood (and not make it seem as if he's trying to get rid of his past), he decided to take on a job title called "The Illusionist". This profession allows for great flexibility in magic usage under disguise. It also provides many great opportunities to study life styles of those different (or similar) to his (since he's working for a traveling circus).
Ace sometime wonders why he joined Cirque du Noire. One particular member likes to harass him. Another seems to be soo far into the deep end, he doesn't even know if his help will do any good. Not only that, the ringmaster refuses his suggestion of rest when there are still so many other things to be done. Oh yeah, lunchtime tends to get knives flying toward the mess-hall's entrance. Oh well, Ace is too stubborn to leave this circus on its own. Giving up on it is like giving up on the very reason he step out of his own community.
Facts Ace is often found having his friend Bee hung onto his shoulders. Has this sense of duty and loyalty to members of Cirque du Noire. Goes "wryyyy" a lot (according to RP).

"I don't see why no-" Ace's attention got taken up by Alexander's tipsy movements toward Sil. ...Alexander...? Ace thought questionably, since Alexander's appearance is pretty beaten-up which isn't like him at all, but his worries quickly changed into a shock when Alexander wrapped his own arm around Sil's body. "Alexander!?" passed through Ace's lips, surprised by the sudden change of events. As the tired man slur on about how all the ladies standing here were beautiful, Ace wondered whether he's drunk or not. That question was quickly answered with the smell of alcohol.
"Alexander... You're-" Ace cautiously steps in, but the drunk person turned his attention toward him. He asked for Ace's opinion on the subject of their beauty. Concerned, Ace tries not to rile the guy up by saying "...You're not yourself right now." Realizing what he just said, Ace paused for a second and blinked a couple times. Is this Alexander's real feelings? To me, everyone is beautiful. No. What's important right now is to take care of him. Dismissing his thoughts on how much weight Alexander might have placed on the subject, the fortune teller of CdN came rushing in and grabbed Alexander's arm.
"Aaah..." said Ace, when Ruby got ahold of the alcoholic bottle and tosses it into the air. The Illusionist quickly step to a side and caught the bottle with both hands. Straightening himself up, he heard Ruby's remarks toward Alexander. She's going to take Alexander back to his tent. As if nothing had happened, Ace turns around to face the rest of the crew. "I will gladly accompany you all to the mess hall," he said calmly, answering Sil's invitation, "if it's alright with you, Madame, and everyone else, please allow me take a couple trays of food back to the sleeping tents. I will have myself tend to his wounds."

Oh god, it came out a lot longer than I thought it would. Apology to repetitiveness of some info. OTL
