Alignment summary:


Ace has always been a fan favorite but he hasn't always been loved or loved in ways he prefered. The majority of fans love him, he's had a loyal fanbase from the internet wrestling community since his pro debut in 1998, in 2004 he had his first big break with his first international tour and by 2005 acheived his childhood-pipe dream of becoming a wrestler in Japan in 2005 he's been a respected veteran since 2008 when he was 10 years pro and just 25 years old. 

Growing uo undersized in Texas was not that easy for him being undersized, it's not just a stereotype that the love for things bing Texas is ubiqitious. Also with an IQ of 190, ADHD, on the autism spectrum and having histrionic personality disorder his social skills/ graces were mixed as he's always moved to the beat of his own drum. 

Despite always being a fan favorite, he's always gotten some flak-for his size some fans would call him tooth pick, thumntack. Some promoters would call him featherweight .

In 1999 at 16 years old there was a huge controversy when he got fired and expelled from the state college he was attending as both a student and assistant to professor since he was 11. That news was broken by his childhood bully J.T. Douglas with his first piece as a sports journalist, J.T. has continued to be his harshest public critic as he's also become a far right political commentator which is in stark contrast to Ace's progressive modern hippie views and lifestyle. When that news broke it was the same day the wrestling newsletter that is fringe to the public but the most reknowned by the internet wrestling community featured him among the young talents to watch out for.

Ace was fired and expelled for selling drugs( cannabis and acid) to students. As a juvenile he was able to avoid legal charges just had to do some work for DARE and the biggest consquence was it going on his academic record which ruined his chances of becoming an astronaut which was his other goal besides being a pro wrestler.

In 2008 he was hired by the most popular federation in America despite coming in as a young veteran very respected with peers, becoming close friends with legends he looked up to as a child and also earning the respect of wrestlers higher on the card when he had a few chances in the limelight, unfortunately the powers that be did not get behind him because of his cruiserweight size and lack of personality.

The thing that really happened is they marketed him wrong and he couldn't tell them because he saw himself as still under the learning tree and also being 25 you don't really know yourself. Despite being a paradoxical-enigma he was marketed as a family-friendly whitemeat plucky clean cut superhero type. The way to describe Ace back then was a guy a girl can bring home to her parents, educated( IQ of 190), athletic( professional athlete), clean cut at the time while also at the same time he was a  weed smoking, polyamarous free spirit type. 

What also didn't help was his body starting to break down on him at the time when he was suppose to be at the top of his game, despite being 25 having his body beaten down a bit, very bad shoulder injuries that lead to him having rotator cuff surgery in 2010. In 2012 he got in a motorcycle accident on his 29th birthday breaking his foot in multiple places, leaving it permanently damaged. Dirt sheets exposed his use of marijuana and failure of drug tests, however it was never explained that he was using it medinically not recreationally so that ruined his reputation with parents the same way the college thing did.

The only times Ace has ever been heelish is when he was champion, to be champion you have to be a cocky douchebag and you literally hate looking at yourself in the mirror seeing what you've become. He's always dealt with an  inferiority complex in wrestling, at first being very confident as a teen prodigy once he got older in his 20's he was not as special, he was among the best of the best in the indepedent and international wrestling circuit, it humbled him in a good way at first but his first time around at superstar level in America
made him overly humble, guilty of false humility where you lie about being the best in fear of being looked at as cocky. 

That is all due to the  labyrinth of backstage social and professional customs some which make a lot of sense, others that are moreso made by the sayers of the business.

In 2014 he was released from that federation and that weekend he went to the Peruvian Jungle to an Ayahuasca ceronomy which was done all legally and medicinally by shaman monks , the Ayahuasca didn't work but he stayed for a couple more weeks and was given Wuchuma a brew from San Pedro cactus. The thing with those psycho-active brews is they make you realize your true dreams in life, he had heard stories of MMA fighters taking it and realizing they are pacifist, he could potentionally lose his love for wrestling however fortunately it had the opposite effect. Plus according to those shaman monks it gave him super powers of speed, slowing down time and in touch with his spirit animal of the jaguar.

Since then Ace has continued to be an a path of enlightenment and he has created a philsopophy that is secular and non-dogmatic with a credo combining Buddhism and Hinduism with his philosophical views in martial arts and pro wrestling to promote a message of creative indepedence and defiance against corporate and capitalist evils of the world, encouring an inclusive message in a time where people are divided the most. 

What are their views on cheating?


Ace as a martial artist and the Japanese style of pro wrestling, honor and fighting fair are paramount. However he is a veteran and when his temper goes off his spirit animal of the Jaguar comes out and he uses tactics that aren't out-right cheating :
using the rope breaks until 4
cocky pin with a foot on the throat
distracting the ref to get a cheapshot in
hiding under the ring and coming out the opposite side attacking the opponent out of  nowhere.


What are their views on teaming with others?


Ace loves tag team wrestling, multi-tag team are very popular in Japan super junior matches he cut his teeth in from 2005-2007. 


experience- a 25 year veteran professionally- win lose or draw unless he's facing someone even more experienced than himself he is a master of a catch wrestling and chain wrestling, so win lose or draw he''s a mat magician, mixing his experience in amateur wrestling as a child from 6 to 10 years old to utiliizng Canadian, British, Japanese and Mexican technical wrestling styles, since 2010 he has added yoga and the yoga + BJJ style of Budakon together. A black belt in Taekwondo since his 10th birthday, he is trained in several disciplines of martial arts.

/

agility and cardio- He has tremendous cardio, despite what he may tell you from what his gurus tell him or fans or wrestlers may tell you he's not superhuman, with his height and size he's always been lighter and quicker , he has great conditioning as a veteran pro wrestler, martial arts practitioner and yogi would.




size- for as much as his size is an advantage there are obvious weaknesses. Lack of size and power his biggest threats are super heavyweights



Killer Instinct- this has improved a bit with his spiritual rebirth but he is still guilty of being too nice and chill of a person, unfortunately if he was unscrupulous he would probably be more successful. His killer instinct only comes out against heels that actually villains not just cocky pricks.

Kendo stick
he has his own bo-staff that turns into nun-chucks
steel chair- spinning heel kick RVD style, running or diving/springboard meteora to opponent seated on it.

Personality summary:

I have a spotify playlist of songs that describe him, include his favorite songs and previous entrance songs: 


also these songs-





Ace likes freedom, he's all about that. Options, he doesn't like to be put in a box or a category with his in ring styles or anything really. The only different category  he believes there are between people are sayers and doers, some of the best wrestling legends are a combo of both but that's like 4 people, for the most part people are either sayers or doers and he's a doer, so he never pays mind to the sayers.

With an IQ of 190( same as Isaac Newton) Ace was very lukcy that his parents Ian David Rabinovitch and Esther Friedman who are both hippies who met at Woodstock in 1969 and are both phycicists who were raised by strict intellectual Russian-Jewish families. His parents upbringing had effected them both personality wise. His father grew up in Sugar Land Houston Texas as a super friendly polite sweet southern comfort personality but dorky and non-agressive. He's an experimental phycicist with a minor in astrophysics 
while his mother is a Brooklynite very brassy which helped her advance in the scientific field as a theoretical physicist. Ace got his father's sweetness but his mother's spunkiness.

His father hit on the nail on the head early in Ace's life likening him to an Energizer Bunny with the IQ of Isaac Newton. Ace was always more physically motivated as much as he was intellectually. This ofset his brothers, his older brother Arlo who is a musical prodigy and pacifist( yet loves martial arts and pro wrestling, so he influenced Ace with that) and his younger twin brothers Davey and Ivan are also martial arts and wrestling fans but more studious like their Arlo and their parents. 

Growing up in Texas undersized was quite tough for Ace, he knew he wouldn't be big in size so he would be big in action.  Being hyper-minded he was quite quick-witted and sharp tongued in his youth, despite being the smallest among his peers he was actually the one who stood up against bullies, he just always had this personal philosophy of fairness. 
With his histronic personality disorder makes him very attention-seeking. He has a  unique speaking voice sounding like a combination of Ness from EarthBound and Sonic The Hedgehog, his Texas twang only comes out when he's angry or excited

Brief Bio/Backstory:
By three years old Ace knew what he wanted to do with his life, he wanted to be a pro wrestler, martial arts master and astronaut, unfortunately due to one mistake that last goal of becoming an astronaut went all out the window at 16, however at 15 he became a wrestler  licensed pro on his birthday and made his pro debut on March 29th 1998. 
10 years into the business at 25 he was reknowned and respected yet hindered by Some nagging minor in ring injuries  and a major non wrestling motorcycle accident on his 29th birthday in 2012 that has left his right foot disfigured in many places. However since a spiritual rebirth in 2014 he has had a whole view on life, the way he wrestles and his spiritual yet secular non-dogmatic message combining eastern philosophies with his philosophies in martial arts and pro wrestling. 

Since 2021 he has been one of the top requested free agents in pro wrestling and has a current salary of 3 million dollars, however he is not a man of physical posessions ( championships being the exception of course ) he has experienced finanical problems throuhout his journey from 2001 to 2004, moving out of his parents house, living by RV while working as a coder at a start up-tech company in Chicago,  Illinois while working the midwest, midsouth and northeast states after three years in the south and deepsouth.

In 2005 he achieved his pipedream of wrestling in Japan. He never had the goal of being a superstar wrestler in America, with his size that seemed very unlikely, sure he liked that as a kid of course but he's always been more interested in Japanese wrestler to achieve that at
21 years old in the grand scheme of things everything since that date of his debut in Japan on January 8th 2005 has been a bonus. 

Became a black belt in Taekwondo on his 10th birthday( March 16th 1993) made his debut as Ace Sky as a backyard wrestler on May 8th 1993 until his farewell match on September 6th 1996, began his pro training on at Galveston C January 20th 1997, got licensed pro by the very strict state athletic comission 3 years under the usual legal age on his 15th birthday and made his pro debut on the first live taping  episode of his Galveston Championship Wrestling's cable-access show on March 29th 1998 and by 2008 was a mainstream superstar level wrestler in America.
