Personality
In one word: Douchebag. Ace's personality type is ENTP, Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Prospecting of the Assertive Kind
More elaborate though, Ace possesses many qualities that'd make him a typical frat boy: He's arrogant, self-important and oppinionated while having absolutely no problem with letting everyone around him know. While still being extremely charismatic and energetic, this can be hampered by his somewhat condescending and self-righteouss personality, thinking himself God's gift to humanity, something that was only strengthened when he was given superpowers. Ace has little sense of responsibility to anything but the prospect of having fun and he's decided to be a hero solely for the thrill of adventure and action, carrying little to no idealism within himself. That doesn't mean he'll jump at the chance to become a supervillain, however, as in his own mind being a superhero is so much more rewarding and entertaining. He revels in the recognition and admiration of other people, loving the spotlight something ferociously and soaking up attention like a sponge.
This doesn't make him selfish and egoistic, however. While rather insufferable and with an ego the size of Millenium City, Ace is a social being at heart that prefers to hang around with people and share his experiences with them. While he considers himself the epitome of humanity, he has an innate desire to share his "Awesome" with people he come across and will surround himself with as many friends as he can. Strangely enough for someone like him, he can be quiet supportive to those he considers his friends, always willing to bail them out if they need money or help them get that girl they've got their eyes on. But more often than not he'll "help" them with problems they don't actually have, such as making them dress more sharply or introduce them to people when they'd rather not, simply because Ace is certain that he knows best and he will not take "no" for an answer when he's decided to support someone. Frustrating or endearing, that's up to the person in question.
Powers and Abilities
The Nitroverse - The Nitroverse is a very much theorethical universe consisting almost entirely out of pure and unbridled energy. It is unknown how it is connected to this universe, however after an accident with an experimental superfuel, Ace was "Attuned" to this so-called Nitroverse, becoming a sorts of conduit between the two realities. The gateway goes both ways, with energy bleeding to and from the Nitroverse at immense quantities. There is however one Catalyst for the Nitroverse attunement to happen, and that is Motion. Maverick must remain in motion for his powers to work, else they're completely moot.
- Superspeed - The most evident aspect of the Nitroverse attunement is the ability to move about at impossible speeds. With a limitless supply of energy at his disposal, there is no theorethical limit to just how fast Maverick can run, however reality is slightly different. While running, any excess heat from friction and kinetic energy from nearby elements are completely absorbed back into the Nitroverse, safeguarding Maverick from the opposite forces and energies created from his power.
- Motion Invulnerability - As a result of opposite energies being absorbed into the Nitroverse, Maverick remains almost invulnerable as long as he's in motion. Newton's Second Law generally promises that punching someone at Mach 3 would sunder your own body as well, however due to the opposite energy bleeding off into the Nitroverse, Maverick doesn't have to worry about this refraction.
- Motion Energy Absorption - More obvious is that fact that as long as Maverick keeps running, he absorbs incoming energy into the Nitroverse. This includes all kinds of energy, including electricity and nuclear energy. This works to protect him even against energy projectors and blasters while at large.
- Altered Perception - Having actually been thrown head-first into the Nitroverse, Maverick's perception of time and space alters drastically whenever he's attuned to it. Instead of seeing the world through the naked eye, he reads it like a never-ending river of energies and energy flows that surrounds him at every turn. Thanks to this, he can maintain perfect understanding of his surroundings even while moving at speeds that the human eye wouldn't be able to keep up with.
Weaknesses
Uncertain Efficiancy - Not in the typical sense of the word, but rather the physical sense. It's still unclear just how much energy that can be actually bled off into the Nitroverse. Is it as much energy as exerted upon by Maverick? Is it more, or less? Is there an upper limit? All these uncertainties have Ace's older brother strictly forbidding Ace from pushing his limits, afraid that if he would go beyond them he might end up being pulled into the Nitroverse or just simply be disintegrated.
- Gottagofast! - Maverick's powers are all tied to him being in motion. If he is somehow caught and unable to move, then his powers become absolutely moot.
- Slippery Slope - Anti-friction materials can be a real hassle for Maverick, as he only maintains the necessery friction to keep moving forward at high speeds. A sudden drop in friction on a surface will send him careening off to the side with ease.
- Energy Backlash - Once coming to a halt after running at high speeds, it sometimes creates a form of Energy backlash where more energy than necessery are sucked in from Maverick into the Nitroverse, resulting in a ravenous hunger on his part. Because of this, he carries with him certain high-calorie snacks to mend this. That being said, if he were to overextert himself, the backlash becomes larger and if becoming too much, might just kill him on spot from the shock.
- Magic and Mind - Maverick possesses no particular defenses against mystic forces or mental assaults, though the latter can be somewhat hampered by his own magnanimous ego.
- Guilt? - What're you talking about? Ace is nothing but awesome, there's no way he'd have any regrets whatsoever... right?

Comments
"Style. Velocity. Money. Mav and I got those in common. Speedsters and I don't normally play nice, but if we're gonna party, I know who to call first." - Kid Ballistic
"He has a lot of credit cards and he dresses really nice and his car is DEAD SEXY. OH, you mean personality wise? Hmmmm, lemme think. Well, he likes to talk a mean game, but he's like, you know, really good at what he does, right? He's not a bad guy at all but sometimes I think he's maybe not showing us the real him. Does that make sense at all???" - Lash
"I don't think I'll ever be able to fully comprehend how a speedster can be so attached to a car. That obnoxious ride of his must be helpin' him pull a lot of really fit birds, it's not as if he needs it for anything else." - Black Ice
"He tends to talk. A lot. Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you, but if he's not careful he...how does the expression go? Right. "He may write a check his body can't cash," I believe is the saying." - Cait Sith
"Miao." - Miss Pussycakes
