James Ferrero, (born November 18th, 1998), known by his criminal alias of Ace, is an Antarctic petty thief and criminal who is known for starting rather useless and idiotic crimes and controversies, such as robbing candy from chicks, slapping raw muskoxen beef on domesticated puffles, and dine dashing. Known for his typical bullying behavior and just overall somewhat persistent penchant for crime, James is known for his overall documentation of his criminal actions online, making him a known "lolcow." A well known idiotic criminal, he is frequently arrested for many things, most of which are obviously pretty stupid and downright ridiculous. Growing in the city of Belmont in the state of Eastshield, he was known for his rather tough upbringing; considered a mistake. His father is an uknown man whom his mother was too busy with friends and having a Doom weed addiction. Due to this, he was raised by a single mother, and as most chicks from single parent households turn out, James grew up as a youngster who didn't adhere to any authority and due to this, his school grades were obviously quite bad. He was put on indefinite suspension following a planned riot against a rival group of enemies at his school. Following this, he went out and went out working for odd jobs, such as puffle walking and even doing sewer work, but never ending really liking it. This obviously led to do his first work of crime. He was first arrested on January 15th, 2016, when he was arrested for stealing garden gnomes and selling them off online. A petty crime for sure, he was only sentenced for a week.

Following this, he began to do more petty crimes, such as shoplifting socks but failing miserably, "borrowing" a bicycle and leaving it two blocks away, hacking into the public wi-fi network of an internet cafe just to spam and mess around, and even solicited a young chick in order for them to steal movies and CD's for him. As time went on, and his crimes racked up, he became a seasoned regular of landing in the pen, even at one point being sent to the biggest prison in South Pole City, Wrecker's Island, but even then his month long prison stint ended. Due to his almost never ending criminal career, and being a jerk, they essentially put him on never ending house arrest, though with some (although lousily-made) benefits to his current condition. Ace works at a local supermarket in the small town of Clearwater, first as a janitor, under strict regulation and surveillance by South Pole City-based law worker Regina Prowler. However, he is able to get out of his situation for a short time, where it is said he is part of the Str00del Force, and secretly enlisted himself as a freelance villain, though given his track record, he is much known as a very average goon and loser-of-a-villain that they sort of use him as a penguin shield where he is beaten down immediately; however Ace is pretty decent at hand-to-hand fighting, and has other means of his abilities. He was originally paid little compared to the others working at his job during his time as a janitor, which is ironic since janitors are paid more than cashiers and sorters. However, in late 2023, he began to work as a cart pusher at his job.

Annoying, dumb, tormenting, and a petty criminal, Ace is a very interesting case of a rather uninteresting, idiotic criminal. Known for his slick hair and shades in appearance, aside from his known personality, he never can be known without his troubles, the most severe when he tried to rob a bank. On his own. It went as one could imagined. He is known to frequent a pizza place when he relocated to South Pole City, though also has his own frequent places in his hometown of Belmont. He is also known for having small connections with the local mafia in and around Belmont, including those in the nearby cities and towns of South Pole City and Mount Alpina. However, these connections are more or less the hiring of him of being an easy goon and penguin shield to get arrested, letting his employers run away and leaving him in the pen, which once again, the authorities know this tactic.

Biography

Early life

Although Ace's past is not too known, there are several details. He hatched in a poverty-stricken neighborhood in the city of Belmont, the second neighboring city near to South Pole City. Born James Ferrero, is mother, Marie Anton, had an affair with an unknown man, whose last name she remembered was Ferrero, whom is theorized to be James' father. James grew up in the archetypal single mother upbringing; he grew up in the projects, and to add more salt to the wound, the neighborhood was in the more dangerous neighborhoods of Belmont. James' mother, Marie, was a Doom weed user, who smuggled illicit doom weed from ruffian dealers, perhaps the most illicit one amongst other smuggled items like illegal chocolate and balloons. Because of this, he never had a full relationship with his mother, often contributing to a bunch of shouting and yelling. Eventually, James began to be part of his local school gang, the Green Mold Gang, which spanned into high school, and soon became the leader. During this time, he began to get arrested for stealing random items from people's yards to sell at a stupid price. An example would be he would steal garden gnomes and sell them at 750 coins. This is were, due to his somewhat easy stealing method, gave him the street name of Ace, where he would take on that name today. Eventually, he began to get noticed by his peers and exterior individuals from outside school. Due to this, he began to get into fist fights and some deals done wrong, where he was successful in cementing his name as the school's so-called "captain of thuggery." He never stood up to authority, and often attempted to assaulted teachers and staff if they got in his way. One noted event is that he attempted to start a riot at school, all against his rival gang, the Fire Hood Bandits. This resulted in a lot of physical throws and throwing chairs, leading to the police being called. He and his rivals were put on indefinite suspension with his school being closed for two months.

Following this, although he was arrested for damage property due to the rival riots, he was released instantly due to his connections, but when out and gone out to do odd jobs around town, ranging from a part-time clerk at a market where he recognized many faces, to a part-time taxi cab driver, then onto being a puffle walker, which he was made the butt of many jokes due to his latter job. However, during this time, he also let his criminal intentions on these jobs, such as stealing junk food and drinks, snuffing taxi tip money, and at one point even took a puffle cup and sell it for a cheap price. However, all this would crash down, when on one January night, he was arrested for his first crime when a neighbor mistook him for the neighbor that Ace was in.

First arrest

On January 15th, 2016, Ace was once again, on a usual petty thief run, taking tools and even bricks to sell. On the usual neighborhood cul-de-sac road of Wet Moss in the neighborhood of Loonville, a lot of items were abundant, with Ace finding a lot of valuables here. So, on this night, at 3:21 AM, Ace was looting for garden gnomes as per usual. However, he was accidentally mistaken for a neighbor by the opposite neighbor. Ironically, the actual neighbor whom Ace was stealing from was up, and decided to check out the voice of his neighbor. Ace, knowing he could make a good escape, immediately attempted to take off, garden gnome in flipper, but unbeknownst to Ace, the person whom he attempted to steal, was a former linebacker to Belmont's high school team, so essentially, Ace's fast streak came to a tackling halt, with the neighbor yelling for somebody to call the police. Eventually, the police arrived came and arrested him. During court, when the judge, a known lazy judge named Darnell Wilkins, got a hold of his arrest of theft, based on stealing garden gnomes, the judge found it so baffling, so random and so absurd at the same time. The judge at the time, finding his let-off record of him inciting a riot, gave him a rather lousy sentence: a week in the local jail with month's house arrest, not knowing that his gang friends could simply enter and do stupid things together.

Following his first arrest, he returned to do more crimes.

Later crimes

Now an adult, Ace began to do more crimes that get more and more stupid, that in the years to come, he began to become a regular at the jailhouse.

The following are amongst his known crimes, all in 2016.

February 28th, "The Sock Raider"

On February 28th, Ace was running low on socks. So on a normal warm day, at the local supermarket, he smuggled six pairs of socks. When he was caught, he ran off and yelled that he was homeless. Due to this, he was an easy arrest, as he was seen pretending to eat at the local Burger Khan, even as far as actually buying a burger, when he had enough money to buy the actual socks he stole, which were all stuffed in his pockets. Eventually, the cops arrested him, and he was sent for an expanded, but still stupid sentence, for two weeks, and then on a lesser house arrest. The arrests kept on being on Judge Wilkins' cases, which local journalist got note of, uncovering that the courthouse in his neighborhood was known for being quite poor at his work. However, not much information was given. Following a short house arrest, he was let off.

April 1st, "Burrowing a bicycle"

On April 1st, he decided to steal a bicycle under the guise of borrowing it. However, he only used it just because he didn't want to walk to the next two blocks in order to get to his destination, a local arcade, which left it in a small bush next to a small creek. The cops found him in an hour and a half and arrested him. He received another lousy sentence, this one of a week and a half. People began to notice his arrests and presence.

June 14th, "Ask a Kid to Smuggle Action Movie DVD's"

On June 14th, Ace approached a local older chick in order to steal a list of six action movies at the local movie store, under the guise of giving him three bags of candy. The chick, being young and not knowing, agreed, and was given a large coat by Ace, and the mission was on. The little chick managed to sneak the movies away, and was given his share, the candy bags. Eventually, employees got a hold of it, and the police got involved. Ironically, he was arrested in the middle of him watch his fourth movie while eating chips. This case was a bit more serious since it did involve a chick, a minor, constituting the criminal act of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Due to this, he was given a more infuriating one months jail sentence with a month's house arrest, once again, given by Judge Wilkins, which the local media got very much and rightly infuriated. At this time, Ace began to be known as the "Belmont Bully," but also known as "Belmont's most dumbest criminal," where people managed to find his online activity and troll him.

August 12th, "To Punch a Statue"

ON August 12th, Ace and his gang were seen visiting a local cemetery, where picked on an old statue, where he began to use it as his punching bag, since he began to do amateur fighting tutorials he found online, and figured that the best analogue to an opponent is not some random from the street, but rather a local statue. The statue, around 90 years old, was beaten up, but stayed in place and took the hits, and luckily wasn't much damaged. When he was confronted, he kicked the cemetery warden, which led to a scuffle, which led to his arrest. Because it constituted assault, Judge Wilkins was pushed to give him a harsher sentence, which gave him three months in the local jailhouse. After being led out, he was given anger management classes, and was once again put on house arrest, but he failed to do these, which led to more stricter warnings, which Ace relented to and began to do said work.

December 25th, "The time Ace got arrested for selling his mugshot"

Perhaps amongst his most idiotic, and just plain stupid things he got arrested for was selling copies of his mugshot to people who knew him. Trying to capitalize on his infamy, he printed out papers from the local library with his mugshot on it. He then began to sell these papers online, such as on aBay or ridiculous prices, and even offered more expensive copies with his signature on it, almost like an autograph. Because he was selling these papers with unauthorized copies of his real mugshot, his shop was shut down, less within a week, where began to do online protests on his WaddleTube channel, where he complained of the shut downs, which he claimed violated his free speech and right to sell things to make a living, apparently. Due to the nature of this case, constituting as being fraud and unauthorized use of government records (which mugshots are classified as), he was fined up to 15,000 coins, which took him a month to complete, which gave him a short warrant.

Other crimes

Ace was known for his large roster of ridiculous crimes. Ranging from stealing candy from young penguins, hacking an internet cafe's computers after he and his gang learned how to hack from online tutorials, to throwing random packages of raw meat and fish at random pet puffles, even at puffles who were being walked by their owners. Though the gesture was rude, some have stated that their puffles liked the smell of raw meat, probably its proteins. The most idiotic was when he was seen riding down the freeway dangerously... with a leafblower and a shopping kart, where he was posing as a dangerous threat to people and himself. He also asked to have one of his mugshots be a photo he took himself since "I didn't look cool in that mugshot, dude," And that's just a few to name.

Moving to South Pole City and getting falsely arrested

In late December 2017, Ace and his gang relocated to South Pole City on account of the money they made and saved, and managed to get a large apartment in the borough of Latin Island. Following their arrival, new to their territory, they once again racked up more petty acts, from stealing a large bottle of hot sauce and forcing a man to do illegal bungee jumping on a bridge connecting from Haarlemton to Zuidpool. However, his biggest crime he had committed was doomed to happen, and it was all accidental.

In December 29th, Ace visited a local deli market to grab some snacks. Unbeknownst to him, the deli was being robbed by a band of small time thieves. Using fake guns, they threatened the clerk. Ace had happened to go inside, where he too was threatened. Ace tried to calm down the situation, surprisingly, but was jumped by three members of the six-man crew, where they placed one of the fake guns next to him. Police arrived, and the clerk mistakenly said that Ace was an accomplice. Given his track history, the police arrested him, and was ultimately convicted under the false accusation that he orchestrated the whole stick-up. Despite Ace's protest that he didn't know the guys and was assaulted by them, Ace was ultimately jailed for three years, while the real criminals got away scot-free. Thanks to his false conviction, he was sent to Wrecker's Island, the most infamous prison in South Pole City. During his stay in Wrecker's Island, he was often picked up by the larger criminals and struggled during his stay, let alone getting part of a current gang in the prison. During conjugal visits, his gang often visited him in how's his stint, but did let him know that his second-in-command is overlooking the gang, though they are saying they are "declining," and being more known as not a gang, but a group of overall idiots and not even called punks anymore. During his stay, he was often used as a local goon by a small group of thugs, who were actually connected to the local mafia in South Pole City, where Ace was unwillingly placed as a "bodyguard" or "penguin shield" for hire, which he was quite prevalent. Even after his stay, local mafia members try and have successfully got him out of his current seat as said local goon-for-hire.

Ace felt a bit of shame, and just said he will probably in jail for a little while. However, when evidence came upon two years later, in 2020, where the obvious evidence was shown, and even the clerk who falsely accused was given time due to his accusation. Rational judges and detectives in this new case concluded that although Ace has a history of unserious crime, this was a flat out false accusation, and Ace served unnecessary time, but did also noted that this longer sentenced set him straight, which in the current day, somewhat did. Eventually, Ace's assaulters and the original deli store culprits where arrested and given a maximum sentence. Ace would be let go and returned with his gang, however, because the judges also looked at his crime, they figured out that if he can be set back into society, he must be heavily monitored, as they came with the conclusion that Ace, although a criminal, has a criminal history, but given his track record, should also be given some form of 1st-2nd level personnel in monitoring, which would later be the conclusion; also given the fact that Ace, despite his schemes, poses as an unserious threat. On March 24th, 2020, Ace was released to a grand welcome by his gang, only to be followed home by his monitoring client, Regina Prowler, a known law worker in South Pole City; in turn, Ace felt quite annoyed.

Current status

Currently, Ace is based in the town of Clearwater, a smaller city located adjacent-center to South Pole City and Mount Alpina, 10 miles away from the outskirts of his hometown of Belmont. Although his gang is still based in South Pole City, they still visit him in Clearwater, where, despite trying to do silly things with him as their old gang self and behavior, Ace cannot do that, since he has a special case of house arrest, again. However, with Regina Prowler being assigned to temporarily live with him, Ace has somewhat calmed down. However, Ace developed a slight attraction to her, which Regina somewhat slightly has a sense of it. To make ends need, Ace began to work as the local supermarket as a janitor, where, despite janitors in general being paid more as opposed to the typical store worker, he was paid quite little. There where times where he attempted to casually leave and take off his leg monitor, but was caught, where every escape attempt, a small amount of sentenced time is added to a record that would happen if he kept on doing this. Although taking it like a little, entitled chick, he calmed down in late 2023, he was promoted as a cart pusher at the job, where he has a slight increased pay. Although his gang tease him about it, they still call in to see how he's doing, and even visit him during his breaks. However, his native town's journalists and news reporters report on his current status, making fun of a now washed up thief doing heavily monitored common work.

However, his involvement with the incarcerated mafia thug members during his sentence, often led to several incidents where he was "kidnapped" by mafia members, and the local law enforcement did various hunts for his whereabouts, where most of the time, he was either unharmed or slightly harmed, with one of his findings being all the way in Mount Alpina, where he called them to pick him up. The longest stay he had with the mafia was for a month and a half, where the law found him in a disheveled and hours-late beaten state walking back in an alley, quite close to the supermarket, where he only said, quote, "Hey guys, going back... to work," where he was sent to the local hospital. When the authorities figured that his past job as a walking punching bag to the mafia was uncovered, local cops where actually assigned to his job and home per his conditions. Despite that, trolls have gone to annoy and pester him. In mid 2023, several online trolls made a fake story where Ace was purportedly a member of the Str00del Force, where fake testimonies written by trolls who claim to be Str00dels said things and claims about Ace. A smaller investigation was led, with Ace even being interrogated, but was quickly found out to be another trolling attempt which got the law's attention. With these in place, Ace's current living state is heavily under surveillance but heavily protected.

Appearance

Ace is a lime green penguin, born out of his mother, an Emperor penguin, and his probable father, a High penguin. He has slick short black near-shoulder length hair. He wears his famous pair of black shades, and wears his common attire: a purple t-shirt and an orange puffy vest jacket, alongside orange sneakers. He also wears a gold watch, that is actually a bootleg that he believes is true, and even when disproven as such, claims those who reviewed it are frauds. During his work, he wears his supermarket's common work sleeveless vest and is told to remove his shades, which he has them hooked on his shirt's collar during these work hours.

Personality

Ace is a complicated individual, but to describe him, the main word would be idiotic: true to his character, even as he is under heavy surveillance, he is still a bully and sulking loner, despite his friends being part of his gang. Although he has stopped stealing, he still has the tendency to secretly steal snacks from the store he works at, which he has been caught, which he is given warnings and his money he made is substituted slightly to have less.

His mentality is known to be stupid and smart at times. For example, although he is pretty bad at math, he is quite well at reading, but often wants to speed his reading in order to get to the main bread and butter of his current predicament. He often gets things right in concept, but when he actually does it, he often gets it done badly or somewhat alright, but does try to make an effort, despite having his usual bully or petty thief criminal mentality in his mind. Despite this, he is somewhat good things, at calculating getaway locations and hideouts. He has mapped out the entirety of his supermarket workplace and even the neighborhood he lives in, though the police have mapped out half of his escape routes, ranging from the stupid, logical and high-risk escape routes.

He loves to play video games and is an obvious pizza connoisseur. He speaks with a clear Polar-based Belmont accent. He is of Ligurian descent.

Involvement

Although he has no technical involvement to any affiliated member or group, he is the leader "in holding" as he calls it, of his main gang, the Green Mold Gang. He was briefly kidnapped as a freelance goon and living shield for the mafia, thanks to his "job" as such during his stint in Wrecker's Island. He is joked to be a member of the Str00del Force, but is clearly not, and just the work of online trolls.
