Paco Laburantes

Paco Lovelantes (パコ・ラブランテス) is a primary ally featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.

Paco is a gangster working in the same gang as Jodio and Dragona Joestar. They are assigned to the same team in order to steal a diamond. Paco is a Stand User possessing The Hustle, an integrated Stand that allows him to grab objects with his muscles anywhere on his body.

Appearance
Paco is a 19-year-old teenager with an athletic build. Despite his youth, he has rugged features making him look more mature. A piece of his left ear is chewed off. He has semi-long light hair finishing in a square cut on the neck. His hair is mostly covered by his cap, which bears a stylized plate with "P∆CO" engraved on it. Paco has distinctive dark marks and spots below his eyes that extend vertically to his chin, and also has a chain of triangles split into dark and bright halves tattooed on his arms from his hands up to his shoulders.

Paco is topless, but wears two large holed straps crossing over and covering his chest and back. One strap bears the image of an ice cream cone, with the ice cream melted to resemble his name, "PACO". He also wears plain trousers with "P∆CO" engraved on the belt buckle, as well as several straps at the waist and above his knees. Finally, he wears wristbands and has a necklace.

Paco used to be sort of chubby but became chiseled two years prior to the story.

Personality
Paco Lovelantes is an inveterate petty thief and kleptomaniac. He is a young man who lives a life of crime, just like Jodio or Dragona. Despite being 19, he is still in high school, implying a lack of academic skills. Paco is seemingly defined by his activity as a thief. Jodio describes him as someone who loves stealing more than playing video games or eating spam onigiris (spam being considered a delicacy in Hawaii).

Paco can also be violent; although he is intimidated when Dragona scolds him for stealing from a client, he then challenges Dragona to a fight.

Stand
Paco's Stand The Hustle allows him to bulge his muscles to grab objects and attach them to his skin.

Background
Paco lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. He suffered from domestic violence and in one incident, his dad bit off a piece of his left ear. At some point, Paco joined a gang in his neighborhood. Despite being 19, he is still in high school as he was held back for a year.

The JOJOLands
At school while riding his electric scooter, Paco covertly tells a customer that he could find the drugs he ordered deep inside the rain gutter. Later that day, Jodio, Dragona, and Paco are summoned by their boss, Meryl May Qi, to the fashion boutique named Iko Iko. Paco attempts to steal from one of the customers but Dragona stops him by grabbing his ear. Meryl makes an announcement to close the shop and then orders the three gang members to turn off their phones before showing them her own phone. On the screen is a natural blue 24 carats diamond worth 6 million dollars. It's owned by a Japanese tourist who owns a villa on the Island of Hawai'i and plans to stay there for around 12 more days. Their group will be getting a 2% split all together, while Meryl gets an 18% cut after they sell it on the black market. She also informs them that they will be going as a team of four. The student who Jodio and Paco sold drugs to at school in the morning arrives as their fourth member, as Meryl guarantees that he will be useful to them.
