PERSONALITY
Arturo is very flamboyant, for lack of a better word. He likes to be flashy and extravagant, and isn't afraid of speaking out. Come to think of it, he's not really afraid of much at all. He also buys fully into the hero persona that Tizoc taught him, not hesitating to step in when he notices any evil or general wrongdoing. Just like his Pokemon, he is kind of a showman. He poses and postures, and this is especially true when he dons the suit of Hawluchaman. This can lead to people finding him ridiculous and goofy, but at the end of the day his intentions are always pure.
Arturo is also a hopeless romantic. He will hit on most people he comes across, and will use his Spanish to attempt to woo them. This almost never works, though, and it seems Arturo will be doomed to be lonely for a while.
Arturo's personality will drastically change when the odds are stacked against him, however. If he discovers a level of evil beyond what is normal, he will become enraged and will attempt to eliminate the evil, no matter the cost to him. He may even start to do something he'll regret, and it comes down to Tizoc and his friends to calm him down and stop him.
BACKGROUND
Arturo comes from a far-off place that not really many people know about, and he doesn't talk much about it. His childhood was pretty rough, he was bullied a lot in school for his appearance. Arturo always used to be a rather chubby kid, so that coupled with the color of his skin made him a prime target for bullies. His home life was similarly unpleasant, with an abusive, alcoholic father, and a distant mother who only withdrew further and further every time his dad would start screaming at the two of them.
For a long time, it felt like Arturo was doomed to live a life of hatred and torture, but that was when he met his hero, Tizoc. Tizoc was a Hawlucha that saw Arturo being bullied and stepped in, shooing away his attackers. From that moment, the two became bonded, and Tizoc became Arturo's starter Pokemon and best friend. The two did everything together, and after some time Tizoc even trained Arturo in martial arts, in order to take care of himself better. Over time, Arturo started to get more and more in shape, and was even able to stand up to his bullies once and for all in a moment of triumph. Feeling a sense of conviction over confronting his own personal evil, he decided that he wanted to do something to help others that couldn't help themselves like he used to. He designed a costume and assumed the role of Hawluchaman, a hero of sorts. His brand of vigilante justice caused the crime rate in his city to significantly drop, and he felt like he truly found something that made him happy.
Eventually, Arturo's father's alcohol-fueled rages reached a boiling point, and one night he assaulted and attempted to murder his own wife and son. Arturo managed to put a stop to it, but that was the final straw. He had his father thrown in jail, and the two of them moved to the Stellara region to find a better life. They eventually moved to Saiph City, and it seemed that things would finally settle down for the two of them.
Nowadays, Arturo travels around Stellara with Tizoc, occasionally donning the Hawluchaman costume to fight crime and evil around the region. It's not really clear what he plans to do, but damn if he won't look good doing it.

PERSONALITY — Tizoc had a big impact on Arturo's life and personality, and it's clear to see why. The Hawlucha is the textbook definition of a hero, not hesitating to step in when he sees wrongdoing of any sort. He's also kinda goofy and a bit of a showman, being commonly seen posing or flexing when the opportunity presents itself. This can sometimes get in the way of his battling when he gets cuaght posing and susceptible to attack. However, Tizoc isn't always concerned with flexing and heroism. He's genuinely a caring Pokemon, often stopping to make sure victims or even his own teammates are doing okay, either physically or mentally.
