Carlos Moreno

Carlos Moreno is a main character of the Sergioverse and a member of the Newsboy Legion.

## Background

Carlos was born in the countryside in North Fronden, although he attended high school with Sergio, Jorge and Alvaro. After graduating, the four went into separate ways, with Carlos studying to become a game designer motivated by the idea of earning money with the games he published. Soon after, he moved to Empire City to live and create his indie company, CarlosWare. By pure luck, he managed to meet again with Alvaro after so long and the two decided to live together since then.

When news about Alfonso's plans to take over Comet City became public, as well as Sergio stopping him for the first time, Carlos and Alvaro decided to pay a visit to their old highschool friends, reuniting the four at last. Since then, Carlos and Alvaro have become members of the Newsboy Legion.

## Appearence

Carlos is a portly man in his 20s with orange pointed-up hair, olive eyes and slightly tanned skin. His everyday outfit consists of:

* A dark green hoodie with the logo of CarlosWare printed on the back.
* Black jeans with a chain attached.
* Dark green shoes and fingerless gloves

## Powers and abilities

Despite his overweight look, Carlos possesses superhuman strength, combining both makes him a deadly grappler. In fact, many of his attacks involve grabbing and tossing his opponent around.

He can also use power-ups, but he cannot transform with the Kingdom Crystals.

## Personality

Carlos is the kind of guy that even though looks like he's rude and brash, actually likes hanging around with his friends and even has a great relationship with his parents despite living in different places, to the point he visits them every winter for Decemberween. Carlos loves food as well and is very good at making sandwiches of all kinds.

When he's on duty with the Newsboy Legion, he feels compelled to protect "the frailest allies", like Maika who is still under training and a bit insecure about her powers.
