[hider= Personality]
Stubborn and manipulative, Ace wholeheartedly believes that the world belongs to the strong, to him deception is the most defining trait of strength as a means to take advantage of the foolish and respect those capable of seeing what is placed before there very eyes. Despite being elusive he has very strong morals and rarely helps those who are capable of helping themselves. He has a knack for personal gain and material wealth. Despite his somewhat distant personality, Ace has a vulnerable side. He is very ashamed and insecure about his past, doing many terrible things he wish he hadn’t and vowing to never do again. He may appear as a low life con man to people he doesn’t know, yet he is emotionally driven to the needs of those close to him. He has a caring and compassionate side, and always tends to do the right thing when the time calls for it.

[hider= History]
Ace was born as Brandon Walker, the only child of the wealthy Walker family whom was born with near total blindness. The Walker at the time were partial owners of the Slateport Marketplace and were careful about allowing Brandon to leave the house. Throughout his childhood, Ace was sheltered by his parents who believed his partial blindness made him fragile and incapable of looking after himself which he wholeheartedly disagreed with, causing him to resent his parents overprotective nature. It was around his mid-childhood that news circulated of a Jirachi surfacing around Mt. Moon, to which his parents spared no expense as a means to cure their son's blindness, but to no avail. With time quickly fading and the odds against them, they reached out to Giovanni in a final plea for help, paying a hefty price for Team Rocket’s elite to capture Jirachi in exchange for a granted wish. Unfortunately the family did not think their decision through, leading Jirachi into the hands of Team Rocket whom certainly would use it’s power to fulfill their destructive desires. His parents knew it was too risky to involve anyone else, so they took it upon themselves to right their wrongs for the sake of the world.

They never returned from their mission, but Ace’s vision soon became crystal clear maintaining their icy grey hue. Weeks turned to months which turned to years and the missing persons case that was his parents had never been solved. With that, Brandon was moved to Petalburg City to live in an orphanage until the age of 18, when the time came for him to leave. For a while, he was left homeless only to take refuge in a cave nearby - it was then he developed the art of scamming and thievery. He regularly would regularly take pokeballs, potions, money and even TM’s left behind by careless trainers while they were distracted. He would then trade the stolen Pokemon on the black market to Team Rocket for a cut of the profit, nabbing him a steady job with the organization for a while. His newly acquired wealth allowed him to take up a modest residence at a settlement just off the coast of Virbank City, Unova. As he grew older he began to ponder his place and impact he has made in his life thus far, sending him into a somewhat major existential crisis.  It didn't take him long before realizing the bond between trainer and Pokemon, it was as if he had been kidnapping a family member from some poor soul and selling them to the highest bidder.
After days of pondering, he came to the conclusion of leaving Team Rocket in pursuit of a relatively normal life. Unfortunately, after knowing the many secrets of the organization they weren't so eager to let him walk away unscathed, and they knew everything about him. He was left with no other options, other than to walk away and start a new life under the alias Ace to cover his tracks. With that, he was back at square one, using scams and thievery of a minor scale as a means to sustain a modest lifestyle. Ace was sure to be continuiously moving to differnt places to elude Team Rocket while vowing to never steal another Pokemon again.
Along one of his journeys, he stopped at a small diner a few miles from Undella Town for a quick lunch where he observed a flock of Pidove pecking at the ground for crumbs. Among the bunch was a discolored one that stuck out ever so slightly. He took a bowl of  rice outside with him and scattered a few grains amongst the flock for the Pidove to consume, paying close attention to the one of a different hue which showed minimal interest. His old ways of Pokemon theft began to haunt him, he even contemplated for a moment how much someone would pay for an off-color Pidove. He was quick to shake the feeling however, and decided to leave it be. Quickly, he stood to throw away the paper bowl, startling the flock of Pidove which flew away in a bundle; all but one, the discolored Pidove.

The two looked at eachother blankly, he wondered why the Pokemon had been acting so strange. For a breif second he thought maybe the Pidove had been injured and unable to fly, perhaps it would be wise to take it to a Pokemon Center. With good intentions and no hesitation he coaxed the bird toward him, calmly consoling the bird who kept the same blank expression throughout the encounter. It hadn't been long before the Pidove waddled into his hands, still staring into his eyes with an empty expression. At first, Ace wasn’t sure what to do with the bird, it didn't seem to be in any pain or anxious in any way, so he just held it in his hands for a while. Minutes turned to hours as he spoke and vented to the bird as if he were speaking with a friend, it made him happy and the Pidove seemed to enjoy the comapny. Abruptly, as he pet the Pidove he witnessed a rather odd sound mutter from it, almost like a bark. Ace grew very confused, setting the bird down on the ground again where it began to nuzzle his leg with its beak as if it wanted to be picked up again. He looked away to grab his bag for a breif moment, only to see a blue discolored Zorua smiling happily up at him, nuzzling its head into his leg to recieve more attention. It wasn’t long before Zorua had hopped back onto his lap to continue receiving affection from Ace. Throughout the course of a few hours he became more infatuated with Zorua as it shifted into different Pokemon as they would pass by, thinking up a more larger scale scam he could pull with his new friend.

Zorua took a liking toward Ace, shifting forms to follow along with him on his journey while scamming unsuspecting victims along the way. There was nothing like a spooky blue Ghastly floating around in the middle of a fancy restaurant to cause a panic filled distraction. Zorua seemed to really love the mischief and attention, and Ace loved the hysteria as a ruse to steal money, the duo made a good team. However, it wasn’t long before there routine was uncovered by a wealthy circus ring-leader who also had a keen eye to swindling money.

The ring-leader was named Banhiti and he confronted Ace about the mass theft after being conned himself. Ace offered to bribe him with a hefty amount of cash, more than he had stole from Banhiti as incentive to look the other way. Banhiti didn't seem angry as he was impressed; in fact, he offered Ace and his blue Zorua a job, a 'magician' act at his circus where he can pull higher profiting scams every night provided Banhiti recieved a cut. 

Ace and Zorua adjusted extremely well to circus life, it kept Ace on the move away from Team Rocket and gave him and Zorua a sense of family. As Ace became more experianced in the art of theft he was offered position as a main headliner under the name the Amazing Ace. Using a one-way mirror, Zorua and some fog machines; Ace pretends to ‘temporarily duplicate’ a volunteers pokemon to be discolored which the audience seems to go wild with excitement about. There was one thing Ace forgot to factor though, what happens if the volunteers pokemon happens to be shiny as well?
