| - Ace Dick is one of the main playable characters of the Problem Sleuth adventure. AD is introduced in PS#64 as Problem Sleuth's "arch nemesis," and is the one who locked Problem Sleuth in his office before the beginning of the adventure by ordering some Busts-R-Us. However, he becomes a "playable character" in PS#141 and later joins forces with Problem Sleuth against Mobster Kingpin. It is implied that Ace Dick was teased for being the fat kid at school, and his defensive mechanism toward this is to dance the Truffle Shuffle, from The Goonies. Somehow, this also works as an attack. Ace is not completely cruel and hard-boiled, and decides to end the silly feud he has had between himself and Problem Sleuth when Problem Sleuth frees him from his confinement of rope from some unscrupulous whores that he was trying to get services from. Ace's dream is to rule a city, and this comes true in the Game of Life, where he marries Wifehearst and begets Sonhearst. Ace Dick's Statistics Ace Dick's attacks revolve around using his stout weight and his hearty Vim gauge. The most common, albeit the most absurd, is the Truffle Shuffle, where he lifts up his shirt and dances back and forth to defeat his enemies. Individually this attack has little use (and in fact gets Ace Dick killed in one scenario), but the more Ace Dicks that come into play, the more damage this attack deals. Ace Dick also has several moves that involve using his mouth. AD is a tough customer that prefers violence rather than diplomacy, and solves many of his problems through the usual method of beating something to death, preferably with whatever is lying around, including fictional items used to express a stat, such as the Etiquette Monstrance. As a high Vim character, Ace Dick uses his great strength to solve problems. For example, he can wield many weapons that others cannot, such as the Machine Gun/Hairpin. One of his greatest weaknesses is that Ace has possibly the lowest Imagination stat in the universe, which tends to give him trouble in situations that require creativity. Ace Dick's Fate Despite (or perhaps because of) his lack of imagination, Ace Dick has no problem accepting the weird puzzle shit and the fact that there are clones of him running around and helping him. Ace's Ace in the hole is the Lvl. 99 Belly of the Whale in which he can absorb his alter egos Fiesta Ace Dick and Zombie Ace Dick. This causes a massive transformation, as each of the three's respective strengths are combined into one ultimate form. This new form has made him the strongest man in the world, able to easily close the door to the Afterlife after it had been opened and tugged by the force of BHMK. However, due to Ace's tremendously shitty Imagination, his ultimate form is exactly the same in appearance as his original self.
