Lead guitarist for Kiss.

At this time in 1980, Kiss consists of Paul Stanley on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Gene Simmons on bass, Ace Frehley on lead guitar, and Eric Carr on drums.

Ace is 6’1”, with white skin and a long, oval face. His cheeks are littered with pockmarks and scars from car accidents. He has a lanky figure and long limbs, as well as thick, brown hair that goes down to a bit below his shoulders, with fringe that sits just above his eyes. In regards to clothing, he never wears anything too extravagant in his off time. He’s usually seen wearing loose, patterned button-ups, or form-fitting shirts paired with (preferably leather) jackets. He likes tight pants, and, most of the time, he wears plain sneakers to go with them, but he can also be seen wearing heeled boots on the occasion. He sometimes wears a satin scarf around his neck, and enjoys wearing necklaces. He also is seen wearing a watch a lot, but he is almost never seen without his signature silver rings.

While maybe his manager, Paul, and Gene will tell you he’s a quiet, shy guy, Ace is the complete opposite. With a loud voice, laugh, and character in general, Ace is a witty, energetic, and shameless person (especially when he’s under the influence of either alcohol and/or drugs). He’s not afraid to call out others as he sees fit, and doesn’t take bullshit or accusations against himself lightly, usually calling it out in a witty, humorous manner. He can almost never be seen without a smile on his face, whether that be an awkward, dopey, or genuine smile. He usually is quiet and seemingly relaxed when he’s with the other members of Kiss, but that’s only because he’s told to be—if he wasn’t, he’d be talking nonstop, babbling on and on almost incomprehensibly. He’s a bit irresponsible, lacking time management and other important skills that most mature people have, mostly due to his drug and alcohol problem. However, he’s a fan favorite out of all the members of Kiss, and he cares a lot about his fans—although his care is overshadowed quite a lot by his immature and reckless actions, such as drunk driving. He has a loud laugh, and tends to laugh at his own jokes a lot. He doesn’t tend to care what others think about him, and is a bit blunt sometimes. It’s hard to tell when he’s joking or when it’s the alcohol in him taking over.

Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Ace unfortunately grew up around quite a lot of bad activity. His neighborhood was overrun with gangs, and, of course, to get protection from said gangs, you had to join one. So, at 13, Ace had joined “the Ducky Boys”, which was also around the time he first picked up a guitar (his 13th birthday was also the day he was stabbed in the gut on his way to the candy store.) Playing music fortunately got Ace out of a lot of trouble, because whenever he’d get called to a fight by one of the guys in his gang, he’d tell them he couldn’t go because he had a gig. The years went by and, eventually, Ace had left the gang scene for good, chasing after his big break in the music industry instead. When he was 21 years old, he saw an ad in the newspaper searching for a lead guitarist. Taking his chances, he showed up to the place and auditioned—in two different colored sneakers. There he met Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss, who weren’t too thrilled at him by his unintentional fashion choices alone. Thankfully, though, he got the gig due to his superb playing, and thus began his journey as The Spaceman of Kiss. Not too long later, however, Ace’s drinking and drug abuse got him in a lot of trouble. He had been drinking since he was 11 years old, and the guys had put up with it because he was able to keep his alcoholic tendencies to the after parties of shows, but it got to the point where Ace was getting drunk on stage. This behavior worsened because of all the drugs on top of it, and Ace sure had his fair share of blackouts and car accidents due to it all. Now, in 1980, tensions are high between the group members, with Ace just one more fumble on stage away from getting booted for good.

Ace frequently says he’s not from this planet. He writes off his clumsiness and tendency to fall as him simply not being used to Earth’s gravity.
