1. Paco's not handling the loss of his arm as well as he thinks he is.
2. He's actually pretty smart, but he doesn't learn well in a school environment. He's also pretty intuitive and can generally figure things out, but he can't really explain how he did it or "show his work". He has also never forgiven junior high for taking away his recess.
3. He's dated more than Brenda and Jaime. Combined. And he's still on good terms with all of his ex-girlfriends, and occasionally gets booty-calls and requests that he make an appearance to chase off a newer ex who doesn't understand the whole "broken up" thing.
4. He learned oodles of semi-legal/illegal things from his time with the Posse that he hasn't actually told Jaime about. Jaime, for his part, hasn't asked. This is one of the many reasons why they're best buds.
5. If Paco's fighting for himself, he might surrender. If he's fighting to protect someone else, he will not hesitate to fight to unconsciousness/the death.
6. He's named after his mother's oldest brother, who is a total jerkass and thus loathed by his namesake. He plans to go by "Paco" for the rest of his life.
7. Paco has definitely inherited his mother's tendency to "take in strays", although it usually manifests itself in talking to wallflowers and menacing bullies.
8. He's a self-proclaimed sidekick and actually gets a little offended when people act like he's putting himself down by claiming that title. He doesn't want to be "the hero", he wants to be the goddamned sidekick and get the shit done that needs to get done so that Jaime can do his hero thing. It's more of a three-way partnership than anything else, but he likes "sidekick" better, dammit.
9. His Superhero Crush is Power Girl, because she's blond, boobalicious, takes no shit, and seems like the type of woman who would just be fun as hell to hang out with once befriended.
10. If Paco were to write out his personal code of honor, the words "Don't be a dumbass" would be written at the bottom. Yes, guys don't hit girls, but if a girl is seriously trying to hurt or kill you or someone you're protecting and you can neither restrain her nor have another girl in the area hit her, then you take her ass down as fast as possible and say some Hail Marys for it later.

Seriously, don't be a dumbass.
