Jace



Jace is a secondary character in the WCT Anime. He was also the first major character to die in the series.

Appearance
Because of his, "Alt Accounts" ability, Jace's actual appearance is unknown.

Arguably Jaces most notable forms are Subaru Natsuki during episode 15, Joseph Joestar and a simple face in a white void.

History
Jace was born in the underworld, also known as Australia, some time after the turn of the century, where he wondered the desolate plains alone for many years on end. Upon discovering the smartphone during Arc 2, Jace was able to contact the real world for the first time, via discord, and join the WCT server. This eventual interaction would lead to both great happiness and suffering for Jace.

Upon arrival, his identity was unknown, his form was not substantive and his true name was lost. This lead to the creation of various different names and alts in his search for self worth, however many of them just wouldn't stick.

Being from the underworld, Jace suffered from the time distortion with the real world. This lead to him evolving from Jace, to Sleep Deprived Jace, to Extremely Sleep Deprived Jace. It is during this period that he was able to unlock his infamous ability of no longer requiring sleep, however this had severe drawbacks to both his personality and sanity. This would suddenly lead to his crazed possession in Arc 3 where he would raid the Re:Zero fandom wiki under the alias  Shoutout to Jace  and delete scores of information whilst making multiple entries of  Emilia is best girl  thorough-out. Jace claimed he had no recollection of this event and denied all accusations that he was indeed the culprit responsible. Many theories were subsequently spurred from this as to whether or not it was a plot against Jace due to his Australian origin or if Jace was in fact possessed. He managed to survive the saga of Arc 3 where he was found not guilty by the council of the WCT staff, however it could be said that the path for his downfall was paved during this very moment.

Death
During the ascension of Mudae within the WCT community in Arc 4, Jace leveraged his Sleep Deprivation ability to continuously roll and rise through the ranks; acquiring one of the most valuable harem's. Fate foretold that he would go on to roll one of the most desired Waifu in all of Mudae, one particularly precious to a cult of fanatics called the RRFs - her name was Rem.

Jace himself was a staunch hater of Rem as he pledged himself to support Emilia as the best girl in Re:Zero, as a result Jace felt no remorse in brutally defiling Rem whilst sadistically hoarding her from everyone else. This lead to the Great Inquisition of Arc 4, a series of events that would go down in history.

The details around the beginning of the Great Inquisition are hazy and shrouded in mystery, however it is widely rumoured that one day an assembly of all the upper echelon of the Mudae society and the RRFs had gathered in secret to form an alliance. The alliance sought to spread accusations and slander Jace in order to bring forth the most brutal of punishments - execution. The case was escalated to the council of WCT staff and eventually to the highest judiciary official, GracedHaperd.

On the 30th July 2020, Jace was sentenced to death and his soul was banished to the void.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of his death, the alliance had carved out the remaining estate that Jace had left behind, as per their agreement. Rem had been taken by the RRF's whilst his remaining possessions were distributed to the upper echelon of the Mudae community, who in turn became more powerful.

Despite attempts to bury the truth behind the unjust execution of Jace, Sword Demon had received the last words of Jace; it was a single sentence -  who is Rem? 

These cryptic words lead Sword Demon to investigate the circumstances around his trial and specifically what had happened to Rem. From this he discovered the transfer of Rem to the RRF cult as well as the links connecting the evil RRF cult to the new leader of the Mudae community - The 'Mudamod', S1ck.

Following the uncovering of the truth, a rare alliance was formed, one not seen before in WCT history nor perceived possible. It was an alliance between Sword Demon and Burning Fern, who petitioned the council of WCT staff to revive Jace. The motion seemed to proceed successfully and unimpeded, however just as it seemed as though Jace would be revived, a sudden mob assembled at the tribunal to further defame Jace and threaten riots if he were brought back from the void. The appeal was subsequently denied as a result and the alliance between Sword Demon and Burning Fern had broken down. It is widely believed that the party behind this sudden turn of events was the Mudamod and the RRF cult.

There are some conspiracy theorists who believe Jace was in fact not killed, but managed to escape with the help of the hidden OTE cult. Others say he will one day return to the WCT community and bring down the Mudamod and RRF cult - however this remains little more than speculation.

Revival
The mods allowed Jace to be revived on New Years Day in 2021. His return was celebrated by many members as he learned more about the events that transpired while he was dead as well as imparting ancient wisdom upon newer members, such as the origins of Sword Demon's signature catchphrase, "Tsk."

Theories about his return range from corruption to sacrificing Wahlig, MJS, and Longneck (temporarily) to allow for his revival. Evidence also points to the previously mentioned conspiracy theories being correct, as Jace is now seemingly alive despite being dead for over 5 months.

Abilities
Alt Accounts: Jace is shown to be proficient in the use of alt accounts. An ability currently only shared with Karxy and Shoutout.

Sleep Deprived: Jace does not require any sleep. This ability has taken a toll on his sanity as a result.
