Likes: Women, controlling others, messing with other people's minds, corrupting female heroes, money, pleasure, mobster movies

Dislikes: Not having control, being defeated, male heroes
Fears: Death, failure, not being able to accomplish his dream
Darkest Secret: Ace isn't as tough and mean as he acts. He's actually quite a sweetheart, if you know how to get close enough to get him to open up.
Favourite Food: Chocolate-covered strawberries.
Favourite Drink: Red wine... It has such a lovely color....
Least Favourite Food: Fish.

Loyalties: Technically, he's loyal to the Royal Flush Gang, but he's really only in it for himself.
Intelligence Level: Near genius, thanks to his psychic abilities.
Dominant Hand: Right handed
Strengths: Manipulating and confusing people, skill/accuracy with medium to short-range weapons such as guns, weaponized playing cards, daggers, etc.
Weaknesses: Tin foil. Please, you didn't hear about this, okay?
Cherished Items:
Heart-Shaped Pocketwatch: This is a family heirloom, one that Ace holds very dear. It was given to him by his father, who got it from his father, all the way back to Ace's great-great grandfather. It still works!
Philosophical/ Social Viewpoint: People are things to be used. They are simply a means to an end, whether it be money, pleasure, or power. But certain people are special.
Religious Viewpoint: Religion has no place in the world of organized crime.
Romantic Viewpoint: Ace isn't necessarily looking for love, but he knows what he wants. He can't resist the challenge of a strong-willed heroine, and wants nothing more than to break and control her. Same goes for "good girls". He'll show her the thrill of being bad, and slowly drag her down into the darkness....
Personality
Ace is a bit of a wild card (pun intended). When dealing with organizing crime, making deals and alliances, etc., he is very confident, serious, and business-like, a total professional. Just don't make him mad. As calm and cool as he may appear, the young man has a temper, and probably won't be lenient with the punishment unless he really likes you. He generally acts like a proper mob boss. But when Ace is off-duty... prepare for a change. While he's still pretty confident, calm, and cool, he's certainly more pleasure-oriented. Less paperwork, more party, if you catch my drift. He enjoys having fun, especially with those of the opposite gender. Suave, sophisticated, and talented at smooth-talking the ladies, if he sees something, or someone, he wants, he's more than capable of getting it, even without using his abilities. No matter what the circumstances, though, you will always find him to be devious, scheming, manipulative, and very persuasive. Maybe even sadistic, or playful at times.
Biography
When heroes started disappearing, the current King of Hearts, Ace's father, was overjoyed. Finally, the Royal Flush Gang would be able to really have some fun! He started planning for a hero-free future of crime, making a bit of a mess of things. His son, Ace, knew better, though. He knew that the heroes were smart enough to have some sort of backup plan, so that they wouldn't disappear entirely and leave Earth to the mercy of villains and criminals. But his father wouldn't believe him... So Ace led a coup d'état against him, taking the title of King of Hearts for himself. He quickly got the Hearts Syndicate back into working order, organizing things more like the Italian mafia, becoming a sort of Lucky Luciano in the Royal Flush Gang. Sure enough, the heroes returned, in the form of younger people who had taken up the mantle.... Ace prepared the Hearts Syndicate, getting the weapons back into working order, training them in hand-to-hand fighting, proper handling of their weapons, among other things. They are ready.

Family:
○ Elise Adrienne | Evil, technically. | Mother to Son
Ace is very fond of his mother, who is an unusually kind and honest woman for being associated with a mafia-like organization. Even though she is older, in her mid-fifties, she's still quite active. Still, she does occasionally need some help with things, and when she does, Ace is always right there to offer his assistance. She doesn't necessarily approve of all of this crime business, but she will support her son no matter what he does.

[Weapon Information]
○ Dagger: It's a dagger. That's it.
○ Stellaration-Releasing Device: This is the device that allows Ace to weaponize the force in the playing cards.
[Ability Information]
○ Hypnosis: With his unusual reddish eyes, Ace can hypnotize most anyone with ease. It only takes around thirty seconds of continuous, focused eye contact to put someone in a deep trance. His strange eye coloring is certainly helpful, since the victim will usually stare for a few moments, and that's all it takes for his power to kick in. The victim will find it harder to make themselves look away or even think about doing so the longer they look into his eyes, falling deeper into a trance. Of course, it is possible to look away, but they will find their gaze irresistibly drawn back to his.
○ Mind Invading: In simplest terms, it's very invasive mind-reading. Ace can hear what a person is currently thinking, as well as being able to go through their memories and past thoughts, including ones that the person may not recall themselves.
○ Telekinesis: Using his mental abilities, he can pick up and manipulate objects, throwing them, twisting them, bending them, etcetera.
○ Psionic Blast: Ace projects psychic energy towards a target in a radar-like fashion, only it doesn't bounce back. This wave of energy confuses and disorients those who stand in its path, making them quite dizzy, and even nauseous. Certain people may even faint.
○ Mind Shielding: Ace's mind is completely shielded from all outside influence, thanks to intense mental training and his innate talent for such things. He can even extend this protection to others if necessary, but only if he has direct physical contact with them.
○ Stellaration: Playing cards imbued with a magical force.
[Weakness Information]
○ Tin Foil Hats: As silly as it sounds, tin foil hats, or just tin foil in general, can block his psychic abilities, hypnosis excluded. If one were to line their mask or hat with it, they would be immune to any attempts he made to manipulate their mind.
