Acefray was born under the name Acekit, like almost all cats only getting his full name on a later age. He was named after his father, someone who gave his life for his partner and children. At the time of the birth a snake was eying them, wanting an easy meal of the newborn kittens now their mother was tired out. His father jumped in between them, in the fight losing his life. The new mother decided that she wanted her son to know that in times, they can all be prey, and you need to be brave to be able to face that.
He got his suffix at the age of 12 moons after finishing his training. From that day on he would be known as Acefray. Fray for the fights he needed to win. Ace always saw it as a sign he was great at fighting and in battle, something which for some part was true with his brute force and size. But the name mostly points at the all the hurdles the tom-cat is getting in his life, and that only someone who keeps fighting will get over them.

Acefray isn't at all what he seems, while on the outside he's big and maybe even intimidating, in the inside he's just a ball of love. He has a huge heart and always thinks about others before he thinks about himself. Not that it's a bad thing or he even minds it. Helping others is for him the best thing to do in the world. This ofcourse fits his role as a medicine cat perfectly, which is probably the reason he got that job in the first place. Ace acts like the dad figure of the clan and even for those outside of it, he sees everyone as one of his own and thinks everyone should deserve the best they can get. This is all very sweet and nice, but this does get him trouble. With him helping the world he can loose sight of only helping his clan and the moments he needs to choose to let someone behind. His whole mentality with rules is very loose. He finds them more guidelines then something he needs to listen at. He doesn't mean it bad, it's more that Ace isn't the brighest light around. The guy is pretty slow in thinking and understanding things, you might need to repeat stuff a lot before he gets it. He's good enough in remembering all the herbs, which is a combinanion with Starclan their help and just remembering, not a great indecator on how smart he is. This does make him very silly and childish at times, as he enjoyes the more simple things of life. He likes sparring and training, doing things with the kittens and having fun in general. Having fun with his friends and family, being a joking guy and making them laugh is his goal in life. He's also a huge romanticus, looking for his prince or princess in shining armour. The tom-cat would love a steady partner with some kittens he could love, even if it's against the rules. And well, he has broken that rule more then he can remember, just to get that fairytale ending. Unfortunately everything counted up causes Ace to be very easily manipulated. While his warm inside will never chance, his way of seeing things have. All his mentors, cats he filled the hole his parents left with, have used him for that reason alone. He's strong after all and eventually he learned that killing or hurting others isn't bad if it is for the right goal. Even now as an adult he still believes that and will do such things if he think it's needed. He only does it when he has either no choice or one of those manipulive people push him to it. Thanks to this he also takes it very personal if others look down on him or ignore him just because he's a bit of an idiot. He earns respect and recognition a lot, taking critique very personal.

Quirks and habits


-   When upset his left ear will show it first, it will shake a little while he pushes it backwards into his fur. If he's is annoyed this is the first sign if it flicks fastly, and when surprised this ear always seem to perk up first.
-   Ace is a friendly giant and doesn't know the limit of his own body. He will push people over or flatten them in hugs all the time. When he sits down he also flops himself full weight to the ground, not subtle at all.
-   He's very scared of the night, dark and being left alone. With him also being able to contact Starclan in his sleep, he just doesn't like it all. Thanks to that he always sleeps with someone else, either his partner if he has any at the time or his best friend Tallshadow.
-   If he does sleep with someone, he uses them as a pillow.
-   Ace seems to forget his height a lot, so when being challenged by a ceiling he will likely bumps his head on it... a few times.
-   When collecting spiderrags he sometimes takes the spider back home and adopts it, as he feels sorry for making it homeless.
-   He only calls himself 'Ace' out of habit, something his friends took over. When in serious events and by people that aren't as close he will be called his full name, or just when they feel like using it.
-   Ace sings sometimes when he has the chance, just for fun though.
He doesn't clean his fur fully and just shakes it out, as he can't reach it anyway, causing him to be fluffy to the max.

Appearance


Species: Cat
Height: 35-40 cm
Build: Huge in both length and width
Coat colour: Mostly gray with a bit of brown
Coat length: Long, very fluffy
Eye colour: Yellow green
Scars: A small cut between his eyes, a deep and ugly white scar that covers his left hind leg until his left shoulder, a huge scar on the back of his head which is only visable from behind
Other: His nose and pawpads are grey, his tail is usually carried low

Acefray is even compared to other cats simply large. He is big in his height, length and body mass. Then you still have his massive amount of fur on top of that. He's huge and everything shows he's made for battle. Yet he's so fluffy you can't help but hug it for a moment when walking past him. His coat itself has a gray color, something which gets mistaken for brown a lot, even more in summertime. He spotted tabby markings decorating it all. His chest, belly and tailtip get lighter, while the rest stays in it's neutral tones. Ace has bright green eyes with yellow decorated through them, which seems to be the only colour on him at times. His fur gets cut off with his scars though, while they are old they are still easy to spot on his body. He has a large scar that goes from his left shouder all the way down to his left hind leg, a small scar between his eyes to his forehead and a larger cut on the back of his head. Fur tends to fall over it sometimes, hiding them from sight and the elements.

History


The mother of Acefray was a beautiful redhaired she-cat named Dreamfall. She has a fury in her, untamed passion about her tasks as a warrior. She was a fighter, strong and tall. The red of her coat was broken with a darker spotted tabby design while her eyes clashed the warm colours with a bright blue. No one dared to go against her when she had set her mind on something. The young cat had always been a little rulebending in her youth, which in time got better the longer she heard the praised about her work. She liked working, she liked helping her clan grow stronger and to feel strong herself. Dreamfall was like a wildfire. No one could handle her. No one, but one cat. This cat was Herondale. He was a perfect raised clancat from the day he was born. Shadowclan was clearly shown in his way of acting, causing him to act cold to others. But once with his clan and with the cats he loved he bloomed up, being funny and charming, though a little narrow minded. He was huge with long gray fur, which sometimes was mistaken for brown. His eyes green and everything in him layed back and relaxed. He was a family man, but a great warrior either way. He loved his clan like his family. Dreamfall and him have been together since childhood, playing together and being close friends. Something which grew into more as time went on. It just feeled natural when they announched to be partners. Herondale always wanted a family of his own. He wanted children to love and play with, to show them the wonders of the earth. Dreamfall wasn't as keen on the idea, not liking the fact she would be stuck in camp for more then 6 moons. She adored her freedom more then anything else. But in time, nature found it's way and Dreamfall was expecting. She gave birth to a small litter of just one single she-cat, one they named Remindkit after Herondale his father. Even with the young kit the mother still craved freedom, but decided to wait things out and focus on her child. Remindkit was a brown tabby cat, looking like her fathers side of the family, with one blue eye and one red. The time went by quickly and it wasn't long before the young kit turned 6 moons and got her apprentice name, Remindpaw. Not long after the ceremony Dreamfall discovered she was pregnant once again, something her partner loved, but she disliked a lot. She hardly got any time of exploring the outside again and now she would be stuck in the nursery. The stubborn cat decided she wouldn't let it come to that, pushing herself to walk out of the camp as much as she can. This was her downfall. One day when she was out to get some water she fell into labour. The blood and sounds of this act raising the attention of more predators then you would wish for. One of those was a snake, one that was out on the easy snack of young kittens now their mother would be to tired to come and safe them. Just in time Herondale found the young mom and his newborns, together with the snake. He didn't have to think about it before he attacked it. When a partol came by not much later, they found both Herondale and the snake death, still intwined with each other. And not much further away from them Dreamfall with her two kittens, twins. Both looked like their dad, with only the pattern in their pelt showing something from the mom. She named the oldest one, the boy, Acekit. Ace because they are all prey in the end. And the girl got the name Snakekit, after the snake who made them prey in the first place. Once back at the camp life took a toll on the young mother. She blamed herself on the death of her partner, seeing him in all of her children. So when her oldest child got her warrior name Remindsoul, she got up and out of her nest. She left her kittens of only 5 moons, coming close to their 6, with another queen. Not much later they heard she drowned. While no one dared to say it out loud, most seemed to guess she drowned herself out of sorrow and guilt.

The kittens hardly understood why their mom was gone and why they slept with someone else now, but they had each other. Acekit never truely got over the lonely feeling he had at night and always wanted to stay close to his sister, to protect her like a big boy could do. They got their apprentice name and first mentor in the next ceremony. Acepaw got assigned to a senior warrior named Silentstep. He was friendly and fatherlike, having raised many apprentices in his lifetime. He loved the job and didn't mind learned young Ace a few things along the way. Acepaw was already taller then most of the others and seemed to impatient about learning everything. He wanted to be a warrior now. Out of this big idea to be the best he nicknamed himself Ace, as it sounded less apprentice like, unlike his full name. He knew he would pass off as a warrior eventually with his size. But his training begins and he gets the basics down. Hunting, fighting and general rules, just getting started enough so he would have an idea on how everything worked. He adored his training time and the attention his mentor would give him when he wanted to do something. It gave him a safe feeling. A feeling of family. Ofcourse he had his twin and older sister, but his twin was training all day aswel and he and Remindsoul never learned to get along. The age gap was just to big. He entertained himself with exploring and trying to see how much in charge he could get of others. Not with bad intentions, just a way to get a bit of attention. But this didn't last longer then a moon, as his mentor died shortly after thanks to a border fight. The cat was already old and died in battle, as he would have wanted himself. This didn't make the hurt for the young tom-cat less, he lost everyone he cared about. When in his next ceremony his next mentor didn't even bother to start training, he started to lose hope. While his new mentor Flamesoul didn't bother with him, he started to not bother with others. He ended up bullying some of the others, like Snowypaw, a young insecure she-cat. He was tall and strong with raw muscle, he could win from the tiny white cat no problem. He liked it, the feeling of control and being strong. The same moon he got a new mentor, someone who only fed this liking of him more. Crossfaith was a dark cat with bad intentions. He wanted to use Acepaw for his own way, to make him a little more like himself. He only got one training with him though, and in this training he took another apprentice with him. Tallpaw. The tom was only one moon older then Ace himself and the two hit it off right away. They had the same humor and where both huge in their own ways. They became good friends, best friends, partner in crimes. P.I.C. He soon started to do everything with Tall, hanging out and sleeping in the same nest thanks to his fear of being alone at night. Ofcourse they teased and joked about it, but it was to have the back of the other when needed. They started to cross borders together, every clan they wanted to see. One day even ending up in the middle of Thunderclan territory. They got scolded and told off a lot, but it was worth it, worth the adventure. Ace trained a lot on his own, only sometimes getting training from other warriors. He didn't improve much but his size and physical power sure did. The bunch of apprentices hang out a lot, with only him and Tall being the toms of that age. Snowypaw (which he still bullied), Cherrypaw, Arcanepaw, Frostpaw and the sister of Tall Runningpaw made up the rest. Frostpaw had a small crush on Ace, while the rest seemed to love Tall in more then one way. He himself seemed to dense to notice all of it, but eventually fell for the shy and reserved Runningpaw. He kept his feelings for himself, but had fun exploring the world with these cats his age. He maneged to push his lonely feelings away. He even became friends with a Thunderclan cat named Nimblepaw and with a warrior name Sinclaw. It was all fine untill Tall once saw him together with Runningpaw, being close and noticing the way Ace looked at her. This ended up in a great fight. He got mad at Ace and Ace got just as mad back, ending up with him rushing out and running away. The gray cat was caught up in his feelings and didn't notice he ended up on the Thunderpath, with a car rushing at him. He tried jumping away but it was no use. He got hit, ending up bleeding on the road. With a huge cut on his side he laid there until Snowy and Arcane found him... Tall aswel not much later. They tried keeping him alive while he lost his contiousness thanks to the bloodloss. Arcane got hit by a car along the way and they ended in the medicine den together. They became closer friends because of that, needing a long time before they recovered. Ace always kept the scar and in the beginning had trouble walking or was hurt when the cold hit the scar. Time would heal those things, he knew. Frostpaw told Ace about her feelings to him not much after he picked up training again. He turned her down, not understanding why she would even feel that way to him. He got a new mentor, Rowanflame. This cat only went on with the things Crossfaith started. He manipulated Ace enough so he would get seperated from his friends, so he would stay loyal to only him. He was for him like the father he never had with his hard but fair lessons. He learned Acepaw he needed to be strong to survive and needed to kill to trife. And Ace believed him. He learned how to kill someone, even if the idea of doing so scared him to death. He would do anything to make this cat proud of him. To be a good warrior and even a good apprentice. He got in more fights, attacked Tallpaw again even when he tried to make things up again. He felt almost better then all those he had concidered friends. Not only with clanmated but also started borderfights along the way. Someone attacked his clanleader, an apprentice, and he defended her. This left a small scar between his eyes, nothing special or worth noticing. He turned so cold to the ones he used to love... until he realised he was all alone. He only had Rowanflame... no one else. He slowly started to talk to Runningpaw again and showed her the human lights, and here he told her about his feelings. She turned him down, something he didn't fully mind, aslong as they stayed friends. She quickly became a warrior, after which they hang out even more and ended up feeling more then just friendship. They ofcourse waited until he would get his warrior name aswel. When the ceremony came he got his name at the same time as Tall, as he was punished for breaking the rules so much by staying apprentice a little longer. At this moment they made up, Ace said sorry and Tall said it back. They would be close as ever again, even if Tall would keep his doubts about Ace his mentor. Tallpaw became Tallshadow and Acepaw Acefray.

He started over now, and the first thing he did with this new life was becoming partners with the she-cat he loved. Runningvole. She was his everything. He even made things up with Snowypaw, now Snowywinter. He liked it again, being proud of the once he loved. Even his sister came more into his life, now with the name Snakesong. Everything he felt and knew, she would aswel. He and Tall became closer then ever, but that was when things got down again. Rowanflame died. He grieved his mentor he always saw as his dad more then anyone would realise. He was broken by it. His friends soften the blow a little. But still.. Runningvole, Tallshadow, Sinclaw and Arcanewish would make up to be close friends for him and helped him through this time. And when he almost turned 13 moons, he got the news. Runningvole was pregnant. She was young, to young to be a mom but he was excited. He always had a huge kittenwish and now he would get it. Tall was both worried and excited aswel. Ace tried to do everything for her and lived on a pink cloud now, this was the best way for him to get over his loss. And yet, faith got it again. He became the mentor of the worst apprentice there was: Lurkingpaw. The cat was a bother and hated Acefray to the core, with Ace hating him back just as much. They pretty much ended up insulting each other the whole day instead of training. When it came to it Lurkingpaw did defend him once, something that suprised the young warrior. But their relationship was nothing but hate. But it didn't get to last long. The current medicine cat, Littlestream, got in an accident. She was a friend of both him and Tall, so they spend a lot of time in the medicine cat den to help her and look after her. That's when she got the news for him. Ace would be the next medicine cat. he was surprised and more then anything mad. He wanted to be a warrior his whole life, have a family, he didn't want to do the job most crippled cats do. But scolding wasn't going to work, he would start his training soon with mostly Starclan who guids him through it all. The last thing he could do before he started his job was being with Runningvole while she gave birth. The first kitten was a copy of himself, born dead. He didn't want to believe it, his first child, his son.. dead. He was afraid more stillborns would follow. But no, after the first two small black and white cats followed. Twins. They got named after the day he told Running his feelings. Lightkit for the boy, Burningkit for the girl. His dead son got the name Tallkit after the tom who has been with him almost his whole life. He took the body out and burried it next to his parents, to spend the night with his partner and kits, knowing they wouldn't grow up with him as his father. Hurt he took on the lessons of being a medicine cat, angry he couldn't be with his family. He only started to care for his job when he was at the Thunderpath to think, something he did a lot since he got run over there. Here he heard a cry for help and saw a Thunderclan Queen laying helplessly on the ground, her foot shattered. She was a bengal and another Thunderclanner was with her, trying to help. He rushed in and patched her up as good as he can, to lift her on his back and telling the other Thunderclanner to bring him to their camp. With Brightspots, the queen, on his back he rushed to there. When they arrived others took over, causing him to back away in the crowd. Children of the Queen seemed to gather around their mother, one being a small kitten named Mistkit, soon to be apprentice. A rush of air came over him and he realised he would meet this cat again as something more. He got thanked and then left, to be told off by his leader for doing something that reckless. But now he felt it, he felt how it was to help others. This was why he wanted to be a warrior, and maybe he could achieve the same feelings with being a medicine cat. It also helped him making more friends like Foxpaw, later Foxfire. He would get their help with medicine tasks and make it less lonely to come home at night. Luckily Tallshadow didn't let it come that far, he just moved over and from then on sleeps in the medicine den next to him. It helped a lot. He even learned that being a medicine cat doesn't mean the end of his fighting. He got to go with the clan and fight against Windclan in their war and later help kill off some badgers. He was a full earned warrior, completed his training and that didn't get wasted. Yet he must accept that his role was now in healing others, something that he started to like. But his silly behaviour wasn't getting less with his age, because around his 25 moons he got in a very strange kidnapping incident. He got talking with the Bloodclan leader, who decided they could learn some healing things aswel by taking him with them. Ace pretty much went with them without complaining, as he was curious about the area they lived in. They didn't harm him in any way, even if they wanted it a lot by Ace his constant joking around. He ofcourse got saved quickly by his clan, Foxfire being held with them for a short while aswel to keep him company. Once home his leader confronted him with a fact, he needed an apprentice. With his great experience with Lurkingpaw he didn't really want to rush into this. He was simply said scared. But this time he got to pick himself, which was more fun. He settled on a she-cat named Canarypaw, which seemed interested in the job enough. This kept him busy aswel, he liked learning someone all the things he learned himself along the way. But not busy enough it seems, as some hidden feelings he had for his friend Sinclaw got the better of him. He never got over the fact he didn't get to raise his own children and missed Runningvole a lot. But well, he grew older and he got closer to someone else. They had a wonderfull night together even if it was forbidden. When he not much later saw she was pregnant he didn't believe it. He was happy and wanted a future with this cat, with this family. But Sinclaw was fast to say he couldn't. Three kittens got born from that one night. Tallkit, this time alive, Banekit and Beekit. Beekit got killed before she could even fully live by the father of Sinclaw. This caused her to bring their children to Thunderclan, saying that Silverstar, the Thunderclan leader, was their father. She told the clan and Acefray another lie, that the children where killed by badgers. Ace was broken by it, by losing more of those he loved, but he kept strong for Sin. Sinclaw got with someone else though after it all, making him even more sad in the progress. No one knew they where his kits, no one could ever find out. But that night he got in contact with Starclan, he saw Arcanewish (who died giving birth while he was in the Bloodclan camp) together with his oldest son Tallkit, the one from his litter with Runningvole. She gave him comfort and made him believe again, for just a moment, things could be alright again.

Canarypaw eventually choose Warrior life over that of a medicine cat. He picked a new apprentice not much later, Bitterpaw. She was strict and ferm, didn't seem to like him very much and he was intimidated by the young she-cat. Around his 30 moons and after some time getting used training again he got a prophecy, saying rain could be as deadly as fire. Worried he told this to the other high ranks, which now had his friend Tallshadow as the leader. But while they discussed it a lot and tried to solve the problems, they couldn't help it when it started to rain. It rained a lot and the elements won, a mudslide crashed down on their camp. Half the cats where outside and half still in... some under it, losing their life. Ace was outside that day together with his ex apprentice, Lurkingshade. But their relationship seemed to be different now. With the stress and all of their world falling appart they grew closer then ever. Staying together as much as they could. With Tall needing to be a good leader along the way it was only logical that Ace seeked his comfort by someone else. He needs to be with someone in some way. All the clans seem to have problems with their camps, causing them to all move out to a far away land in the mountains. The roads are rough though and Ace hits a low point. He misses his home, his place and everything he grew up in. This is the place his whole generation came from, where the graves of his family lie, he can't leave this without being hurt. His low mental state didn't do anything good for his contact with Starclan, as he now got in touch with one of the bad sides. Dark forest. He was visited by his old mentor, Rowanflame. But Acefray, good minded as he was didn't even realise his location. Ofcourse he saw that he was in a dark forest and that it didn't look like the Starclan he had seen many times before... but his mentor was here. Someone who meant the world to him. Ofcourse he trusted everything, believed every lie. Rowanflame talked him down enough, saying how disappointing it was that all his fighting talents are wasted by him being a medicine cat. That it was a mistake. He listened to his words and agreed to be trained again, something which wounded him a lot. Who would have guessed someone like him in a place like that? No one did, maybe Starclan, as they saved him from this faith once before. But while in his head he got thorn between two sides of death, the journey started. They passed through a two-leg place along the way, already they had lost many, something he took personal. But once around this place he tried to make everything better again. He had Lurkingshade, the tom he loved and again wanted a try at family life. He wanted his happy ending and finally start raising his children. He already saw how his first litter grew older without even knowing him. Burning being slightly ill, but her brother protecting her. First he had to make up everything else... he visited his oldest litter and annouched he was their father. Something they took surprisingly well, but ofcourse didn't have a great need anymore for a dad at their current age. Ace promised them he would keep trying and be the best dad. But it seemed that wouldnt be enough to keep that promise, as not much later Sinclaw confessed about that two of his children are still alive in Thunderclan. He was more happy then anything else, two of his kits still alive, he wanted to meet them... but Sin was quick to point out all the problems it would bring. He needs to keep quiet. Still not a good dad it seems. He wanted another try at being a dad, this time he would succeed. He told Lurkingshade about his thoughts and the grumpy cat agreed. If he wanted it or just said yes to make Ace happy, who knows. Ofcourse not being able to get kittens themselves, they asked a dear friend of them, Puffincliff. She doubted at first, but then agreed with the side note that she got to be a mom aswel. Ace loved the idea of an even bigger family, and they had a deal. They both got to work with everything and a few days later, they got lucky. Puffin was carrying their kits. Ace would almost be happy... until Starclan decided it was enough... Lurkingshade got killed by two-leg poison. Ace found him together with some cats that where close to him. He completely broke down.

But the long journey came to an end in the mountain grounds. They met the Tribe of rushing water that lives here but he didn't care anymore. Nothing in him cared anymore. He was sad, he wanted to his partner again. And he did, the night after his children where born. His children where beautiful and healthy. All named after things he remembered. Chickenkit after the two-leg place his partner died at. Sheepkit after his own nickname, in the hope this kit would have a better faith. Kindkit, the only female of the litter, in the hope life would be kind to her. Warkit for all the wars they had to fight and will need to fight again to achieve that kind life. Hairykit after how much he looked at him, how much it reminded him of him. And Flurrykit, named after the passed away sister of Lurkingshade. He loved them a lot, more then anything in this world. His children are his all. But then the dream came and he met his partner again. But this wasn't the cat he used to know and love. No, Lurkingshade scolded him and said he was disgusted by how Ace acted. How less he was acting like his rank. And he told him that Acefray should never have any love in his life, and each time he would love someone, Starclan would take them away from him. He was hurt and blamed Starclan for this pain. But the gray cat didn't even fully understand it all, he saw it as a sign he could never feel any love again in his life, not even those of friends and family. He turned more to Dark forest in this time, put his back to Starclan and grew a deep hate. Trying to please his mentor more he started to break bones, hurting others. Still not with hatefull intentions, but just from hurt and loyalty to the cat he saw as his father. He keeps following those orders instead of those of Starclan. He tries to end everything he has now and for all, only staying warm and loving for his children. Ace went to Sinclaw and told her about his underlying feelings for her, that he never wanted only that one night stand. Sin spoke her feeling aswel, she hated the world but if she was to burn it with someone... it would have been him. He tries to make peace of all this happening at the moment, while Starclan is sending enough others to help clear him back up.

Relationships


Family: Acefray never met his father Herondale †, but looks up at him from the stories he has been told of the great tom. As a child he always aimed to be like him one day. Maybe he still does. His mother Dreamfall † he did had more of a bond with and loved deeply with his whole heart. She was his everything until she died. He misses her dearly and was always proud on how strong she was. With his older sister Remindsoul he doesn't have much of a bond, he knows her but hardly more then strangers. He wouldn't even fully see her as a friend. And at last there is his twin sister Snakesong. She is his counterpart and he would do absolutely anything for her to make her life as amazing as it can get.

Kittens: His kittens are his everything and well, he has a lot of them. Even more if you concider he can't even have them with his rank. Only his first litter was allowed. He was young when he had this one, and it was with his childhood love Runningvole. They got three wonderfull children. His first son Tallkit †, was a stillborn. The twins had taken all his energy in the womb and he never got the chance to take his first breath. Then the twins came. Two beatifull children alive and well. At this age he is proud to call his son Lightflame and daughter Burninglove. His next litter wasn't allowed, in here he had a tiny daughter Beekit †, who died not much later in her life. His son Tallfright and another daughter, Baneflower. He doesn't know these kits, something which hurts him a lot. His next litter is still young and in here he only has one daughter, Kindkit. The rest of his sons are Hairykit, Sheepkit, Chickenkit, Flurrykit and Warkit.

Lovers: Ace being a very romantic person tries to find love in every place he can get. He did found his first love very early in life. Runningvole was his childhood crush and if his rank didn't thorn them appart they would still be lovingly together. When Ace dreams at night, just a peacefull dream, it's almost always about her and the things they did when they where still together. His next love would be Sinclaw, which first ended up as a one night stand then grew up in something bigger, much later. He always had a silly crush on her, but was always afraid to tell. But once he lost all hope in the world, he found the faith to tell her and found out she had the same feelings. They decided that if the world would burn, they could just as well enjoy the view together. But before that love even became final, he had a very sweet but shortlived love with a tom named Lurkingshade †. He had adored him in every way and loved the time they had together, he was even willing to wait for him after he died... untill the cat took the time to break every heart and soul he had in his body. Now he doesn't know what to think, his heart still wants to love him and hold him close may he ever be in Starclan again. But the rest of him is very much against the idea of the cat now, having bitter feelings.
In his life Ace also has a lot of meetings with others that could have bloomed into more, but not happened. Frostpaw had a crush on him, just like Mistgaze. For Mist he would have broken te rules again, but was denied that option by her. Blackbear still holds a place in his heart and if this feeling would ever be given a push it could take off into something more aswel.

Friends: Ace has a lot of cats he conciders friends, maybe with some that don't even realise it themselves. His first and closest friend will always be Tallshadow. He loves this cat like family and would give his life for him in a heartbeat. They still share a nest and have a close bond that grew over the years. It helps that they went through everything together, as a team. This is his one and only partner in crime. Another close friend of his would be Arcanewish †, someone who passed away thanks to his own absence. More cats he would concider friends are: Snowywinter, Sinclaw, Foxfire, Oceanbreeze, Blackbear, Mistgaze, Yu, Hellhound (doesn't agree), Claw (doesn't agree), Lionroar, Fawnstep, Innerstar †, Nimblepaw, Evergreen, Lizardpath, Canarypaw, Bitterpaw, Routpaw, Nevermind.

Other: Rowanflame † is for him like a father. He trained him while he was living as his mentor and now he trains him in Dark forest. He looks up to him and wants to be like him, wants to make him proud. He would do anything to make him happy. Oceanbreeze is someone he sees as a sister. He saved her life and helped her get through it multiple times, and she does the same for him. They know eachother almost their whole life and this is a bond he wouldn't dare to break. He might be loyal to his clan, but for this cat he would bend the rules some more. Innerstar † is someone he both respects, fears and sees a mother hen at the same time. He wants her to be proud aswel but fails a lot in achieving that, causing him to act like a scared kit when seeing her. That and the fact he dates the cat that killed her doesn't help. Bitterpaw is his apprentice and he has mixed feelings. He knows she doesn't like or trust him fully, but really wants to be a father figure for her. He tries his best to help as much he can, but this sometimes proves to be hard.
