"It is your loathesome arch nemesis, Ace Dick! He is always scooping you on the best cases. That portly son of a bitch makes your blood boil!"
„
“
You are now Ace Dick.
You begin to question this feud you've been embroiled in with your neighbor for so long. After all, he did just give you the number for some honest to God whores, even if they did ultimately rob you. He also just helped you escape. Maybe it's time to bury the hatchet and help him out of his office.
You feel you should get some supplies from your safe first, though. If only you could remember the combination.''

You can hardly believe how shitty your imagination is."

Ace Dick becomes FIESTA ACE DICK. Your VIM reaches its full potential
„
~ The Narrator
“
You put your normal hat back on because you think this silly ethnic shit is probably going to get really old really fast. You lose the poncho too.
„
~ The Narrator
“
You consume your counterparts, ZAD and FAD, finally uniting as one mean, strapping Dick of unprecedented VIM.
A phenomenal transformation takes place.
You become...
My God.
YOU BECOME...
Ace Dick.''

~ Ace Dick's unfortunate low level of Imagination
“
Really, you are just utterly astounded by how shitty your IMAGINATION is. If your IMAGINATION was a face you would punch it. In the face.
Ace Dick is Problem Sleuth's arch-nemesis, a rival detective with the world's worst imagination and a voluminous gut. After Problem Sleuth rescues him from the confinement of his own office, they join forces to take down the nefarious Mobster Kingpin.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Ace Dick's Battle Menu
AGGRESS: A physical attack using whatever weapons are on hand. Aggressing is a basic attack, and requires no special items or extra equipment. Any character may Aggress with anything they have on them, including guns, makeup, cleaning supplies, paint, scythes, tea, childhood toys or just their fists.
Emulating Chunk from The Goonies, Ace Dick lifts up his shirt and does a fat-jiggling dance. This attack appears in multiple forms throughout the story:
Level 1 - Does no damage whatsoever. Used against a beast (in a non-canon story path).
Level 2 - Does minimal damage. Used against the same beast.
Ostentation Drive! Double Truffle Shuffle Trouble - After Li'l Ace Dick is killed by Mobster Kingpin, the other two ADs are able to use this Limit Break against Morthol Dryax. They perform the Truffle Shuffle in unison, creating two energy columns that collide above the targeted enemy and do major damage.
Zombie Truffle Shuffle - A variant usable only by Zombie Ace Dick. It does no damage. Used against DMK.
Triple Truffle Shuffle Scuffle - This Comb Rave requires the use of Level 1, 2, and 3 Impetus Combs. AD and ZAD perform the Double Truffle Shuffle Trouble while Fiesta Ace Dick grows to enormous size and hits the enemy with his stomach. For the finishing move, AD and ZAD collide into the enemy to cause a massive explosion. Used against DMK.
Torso Flail
When fighting a monster enemy, Ace Dick can lob any nearby corpse into its mouth to temporarily appease it and give himself an opening to attack. The Level 1 version is used against a beast and the Level 2 version, which lets him fling multiple corpses at once, is used against Fluthlu, though in the latter case eating the corpses actually reenergizes Fluthlu instead of placating him.
Gambit Schema: The Gambit Schema is a special transforming maneuver, which can be activated by carving the necessary pattern into the Schema Pumpkin. It increases a character's power, and changes their stats of Vim, Pulchritude, and Imagination and introduces Speed, Defense, Flicker, and Ripeness.
Flicker: This meter represents how much damage the character could take while in their Gambit Schema.
Ripeness: This meter represents how rotten the Schema Pumpkin is and thus how much time remains of that characters Gambit Schema until it expires.
Gummy Worm Zombie: The Gummy Worm Zombie is Zombie Ace Dick's Gambit Schema. It is unclear how much of a difference there is between the Gummy Worm and regular varieties of Zombie, but it is uncontested that Gummy Worm Zombie Ace Dick has an extremely high Defense stat. Gummy Worm Zombie Ace Dick plays a crucial role in evoking Pang Nectar from Demonhead Mobster Kingpin by gnawing on DMK's Glumspine Flagellum. Gummy Worm Zombie Ace Dick's defense stat is so preposterous that he gains new Auto-Parry abilities each time he takes exorbitant amounts of damage. His defense stat does nothing for him as he finally falls prey to his derision placed upon him as being a zombie and uses the ill-fated Check Yo'Self Jonah Battle technique.
Using Belly of the Whale, Ace Dick can suck a targeted enemy into his mouth and swallow them. Unfortunately, AD is never able to successfully employ the operandi in combat: his attempt to use it against a beast fails because he lacks the requisite Elf Tears, and Li'l Ace Dick and Fiesta Ace Dick's attempts to use it against Mobster Kingpin fail when MK uses Extortion to swallow them instead.
The one time it actually does work is in a non-combat situation, when AD uses the operandi's ultimate form - Level 99 Belly of the Whale: Blowhole Swansong - to swallow and merge with his fiesta and zombie counterparts. As a result, AD undergoes a starting transformation and turns into... Ace Dick. While he doesn't visibly change, he does get an extraordinary amount of Vim, making him the strongest man in the world.
A beast possesses the Level 18 version of the operandi and uses it against one of Pickle Inspector's imaginary duplicates.
By using Check Yo'Self Jonah, Ace Dick turns into a corsair with a new hat and harpoon gun. At the same time, an enormous whale is summoned to the site of battle. AD can harpoon the whale, get on top of it by using the harpoon gun as a grappling gun, and ride it as it consumes the enemy.
Zombie Ace Dick uses this attack against Demonhead Mobster Kingpin; unfortunately, he accidentally bumps into Pickle Inspector while ziplining up to the whale, causing PI to miss his shots with the sniper rifle and shoot the whale before it can attack DMK.
