The Ace

No matter how good you are, there's always someone better.

The one whose every action is free of flaw. They never fail (hard), are always a few steps ahead of their enemies, and never happen to be the Hero because that wouldn't be any fun. They might look down upon the Hero, but they mostly stay by their side unless they give their "You Suck" Speech to the Hero and leave soon after.

The Ace can come in alternate forms. Their non-adventurous counterpart, the Main's Bane, is the Rival of the Main who often doesn't think of themselves as such, but has the better version of whatever the Main has: better home, better family, better business (if the Main's Bane runs one), and maybe even a better heritage just to Throw Salt On The Wound for the Main. Two other non-adventurous Aces are the Buddy and Luckster. Neither role has the rival aspect that the Main's Bane has as the Buddy is the Main's friend while the Luckster neutrally lives their life, not seeking any competition with anybody else. However, both the Buddy and Luckster likely Roll A 6 on many more things they do than the Main does, such as Winning The Lotto, make new friends, or win games.

UnStat Avg. 5.1 (A)

''The Ace is what an upgraded Hero is expected to be: stronger, smarter, and more masterful, along with other improvements. The only downside to being an Ace is that the character is less likely to be a leader, which is what causes the slight drop in Influence. Aside from that, the Ace is an overall greater form of the main protagonist whose incredible stats alone show how well-built they are. The Ace is given an UnStat Average of 5.1, rightfully earning them a spot on bottom A tier.''
