- Ace:
It was a bright morning in the sunny town of Hargeon with a few cotton white clouds pinned to the vast blue skies. Just a mere glimpse of the beach under the blazing sun gave Ace the warm summer vibes. It was weird though, as it was only just starting to get warmer the other day with spring rolling in, and now this. The gas mage approached the beach from a distance with the wavy reflection of the sun in his eyes. There were more people at the beach than he expected. He thought they'd be at schools or work but it seems like everyone is taking a day off to enjoy the weather. The merchants with the stalls seemed to be making the most profit out of this day as they shrouded the area.
Ace didn't expect to be coming to the beach, but what better place was there to be doing his exercise and reading a nice complicated book than here. He thought that he would've stumbled across a park of some sort, but just before his eyes was this tempting hot paradise. Ace proceeded to unlace his grey boots as he stood right before the sandy beach. It was indeed a warm day for him to be wearing a sweater but he always thought it was best to be overdressed than underdressed. He can always take it off, it is the beach after all. He felt the soft crunch of the parched sand under his bare feet towards the far end of the shore. He had already marked his spot at a distance where there weren't as many people around. A bunch of kids glanced over at him with joy and he just habitually held his straight face with pointed eyebrows as he kept walking forward. The age gap might have been small but the gas mage was mentally mature, unlike his peers. Although he would've been happy he'd still struggle to let out a smile out of habit.
"Nothing better than a warm day and a productive workout"
He set his bulky boots and backpack just underneath the wooden bench and started a regular stretch routine. He was a fit young man so he wouldn't really struggle with these simplistic workouts. However he was looking forward to trying to get his head around the complex book he brought with him.
After ten minutes of stretching, Ace would pull a book out of his bag and lay down for a nice calm read unless he was interrupted by something or someone.
