Art Hardly (PPG)

Art Hardly is one of the new Powerpuffs to join the Powerpuff Girls, the youngest of the male Powerpuffs, and is considered the creativity and laughter of the Powerpuffs

## Appearance

Art is about the same height as the girls but that changes when he enters high school. He has a fair complexion, messy light brown hair, and wears a blue and orange striped t-shirt, royal blue pants, and red and white shoes. He has mint green eyes, with a pair of prismatic blue glasses and a smart phone, which he can attach to a wristband that he has on his left arm, which enables him to use it easier in battle, but uses a tablet on his wrist when he hits high school. He also has a smartphone, which is white, with multicolored paint splats on it as well, with a Parrot theme to it as well. His swimwear is a pair of white swim trunks with paint splats of many colors on them, as well as crystal blue swim goggles he wears that he drew himself for when he swims. His pajamas consist of a pair of rainbow pajama pants, with a white pajama top. His winter wear is a rainbow winter coat, with crystal blue snow pants, white snow boots and mittens, with a white paint splat covered snow hat. His high school outfit has him in a white t-shirt, with rainbow sleeves, with a royal blue hoodie over it, as well as having light blue jeans, with rainbow socks, and white shoes with rainbow stripes on them as well, with a special necklace with a blue gemstone inside of it, which Bubbles got for him during summer vacation. His adult outfit consists of a pair of blue jeans, with white shoes with silver coloring on sides, a white t-shirt with a paintbrush on the front with rainbow paint on the brush, and a prismatic blue over-coat over it, with a wedding ring on his left ring finger, and having it engraved into the ring, "For my Arty Bear" from their wedding day, with Bubbles' wedding ring engraved with, "My Bubbly Bear". He always changes his glasses with his special power, especially as he gets older too, to help adjust as need be.

## Personality

Art is quite artistic and creative, he's also a lovable Goofball, he likes to doodle from time to time and enjoys kicking bad guy butt when need be. He's also willing to defend those close to him as well. While Timid and shy before joining the girls, he's become more open and fun loving since then. He's pretty much a fun loving guy, once he earned Bubbles' heart when they first met, even if he didn't know it till he told her when she was loopy after HIM turned him into a werewolf, thanks to that day, he is fiercely protective of Bubbles at times, but only shows it when someone threatens to harm her, but knows who he can trust as well. He's always there for his brothers and the girls, and will not let anyone down he considers his friends, even redeemed villains if they have earned it. He always brings a smile to those he encounters as well, even when they're sad as well. Overall, Art would be the near equivalent to Bubbles herself, but is his own Powerpuff, and a great friend to have with you as well, that said, he does have a hard time hiding what he holds inside him, a dark secret that he keeps from most anyone, as he would be worried about his dark side coming out around Bubbles, as he won't let anyone see it, having this personal demon inside him, he fights with it daily and can't get it out when he is struggling to be in control of his emotions, that said, he is one who longs to help others when the need arises, but he hates when Snowball pranks him a lot, and will always get annoyed when people count him out, even going as far as to doubt his skills, but when the Professor is strict with him, he does feel fear of him telling Bubbles this secret, as he does hate when someone he cares about is in danger, and will not let those attacked go unpunished when they go after his loved ones, but when it comes to his own things, he does quite well, as he tries to keep it together and make sure that both Percy and Snowball aren't at each other's throats, as they always get on his nerves sometimes, Percy when he's strict, or Snowball when he picks on him, though he knows that his brothers are always there for him when he needs them the most, even his older brother Jaden, with which, he can use to fight alongside the girls in battle, but he knows that his dark side is something he is afraid of falling to, but while he has a defect in his mental capabilities, he doesn't let it get to him, but he knows that he is still a hero regardless, but has developed a strong bond with Sapna, as he views her as a sort of mother figure, as she is kind to him and always someone he can talk to when he is troubled, knowing that she is the kindness compared to the Professor, but knows that she is someone he has a bond with, even if Snowball or Percy can't help him, but while he does wish to hide his dark side from others, he knows that Sapna is the one who he can count on to help him through this, but when it comes to Bubbles, she knows that he can count on Bubbles to be there to defend him if anyone even thinks about bullying him, and while he goes for a creative approach into battle, he is one who can be counted on when he is needed to help others, and a great friend when you need him the most.

## Powers

While Art shares similar powers to the girls, such as Laser Vision, Flight, strength, etc. He also tends to get creative with his powers which is reflected in his unique power and aura power as well.

**Special Power:** Art's special power is something that was never expected by anyone in Townsville, being that he has the ability of Artistic Creation, meaning that he can draw anything into existence or even alter things in the environment by drawing on his smart phone with his stylus, which was upgraded to a wrist mounted smartphone after being welcomed into the Powerpuff Girls' home, with his smartphone, eventually being replaced by a wrist mountable tablet when he first entered High School in 9th grade, but it only works when Art is the one who uses his stylus on something, as anyone else who uses it won't be able to use it like Art does.

**Energy Power:** Art's Energy power is a unique type as it deals with the elements, fire, water, earth, wind, etc. This grants Art a lot of versatility with his constructs, as well as making him highly adaptable to using the element he needs in any given situation, though it is tied to his emotional state, and can fluctuate when his emotions are not stable, such as manifesting a pink energy fire around himself when he blushes, like when Bubbles calls him "Her Man", or when he is angry or succumbs to the negative emotions inside him, he would manifest either red energy flames, or black energy fire respectively, with each color, grants a different elemental ability for each color, while his elemental constructs are able to change forms according to the needs Art has in battle or when not in battle, but he can form them into superheroes that his theme is revolved around, as he enjoys the comics that his brother had showed him when he visited him once, even watching some cartoons about heroes as well, which inspired the constructs structure, but his are more like professional heroes or special heroes.

* Green = Energy
* Brown = Earth
* Red = Fire
* Light Blue = Ice
* Blue = Lightning
* Orange = Amber
* Jade = Plant
* Violet = Form (Requires focus to use, but gets easier when he gets older)
* Silver = Metal
* Grey = Mind (Requires concentration and focus, but gets easier to use as he gets older)
* Crimson = Speed
* White = Light
* Black = Shadow
* Black/Dark Purple = Destruction
* White/Gold = Creation
* Light Gray = Smoke
* Bright Green = Poison (Mostly used for removing Poison from things, but can be used to knock out enemies when need be)
* Maroon = Gravity (Can move objects such as food or small items, but requires concentration with larger things, though gets easier as he gets older)
* Teal = Sound (Stronger when Bubbles uses her sonic scream to boost it)
* Dark Green= Wind
* Aqua = Water
* Copper/Blue/Red/Green = Time/Rewind, Slow-Mo, Pause, Fast-Forward, respectively (If used at the same time, but requires concentration to use, but gets easier when he gets older)
* Pink = Technology
* Fire Engine Red = Heat
* White/Purple/Green/Yellow/Light Blue = Fusion
* Electric Purple = Force/Pulse

**Energy Forms:** Art also has three different energy forms he uses depending on which color his fire is, which is linked to his state of mind.

**Black and Dark Purple Fire** **Monster:** Black and Dark Purple Fire Monster is a state which Art loses control of his negative emotions and becomes overwhelmed by them, resulting in him manifesting an aura of a ferocious berserker monster of black fire energy. In this state he will attack anything around him, friend or foe, and destroy what ever is around him, once he burns out his rage, he gets knocked out and wakes up not remembering what he did in that state, being the result of destructive energy in him when unleashed.

**White and Gold Fire Warrior:** White and Gold Fire Warrior is when Art's positive emotions surface forth and form an aura of a knight/ninja's armor made of pure white fire energy, in this state Art can take on the likes of HIM and survive, dealing severe damage to HIM too, but there is a drawback to this mode however, as once he uses this mode, he needs full purpose of conviction and righteous cause to maintain it, but when the conviction is broken, or the righteous cause is resolved, his aura will start to flicker and results in him being in a weakened state on the brink of death.

**Golden Fire Champion:** Golden Fire Champion is when Art achieves harmony between the negative emotions of his destructive black fire side, with the positive emotions of his creation made white fire side, to combine them into a golden fire champion that resembles the best of both states, combining the monster's savage power, strength, and endurance, with the warrior's guiding intelligence, control, and skills, but this form can only be unlocked if Art fully accepts himself fully.

## Relationships

**Blossom Utonium:** Blossom and Art get along pretty well even though at first she had her doubts about Art, she welcomed him to the team once she got to know him and saw what he could do.

**Bubbles Utonium:** Bubbles and Art are an amazing pair together since they both love art, and while Art had a massive crush on Bubbles, nervous and hoping that she felt the same about him, when he was turned into a werewolf pup and fought HIM, she revealed that she knew of his crush on her since they first met, as she then pecked his cheek, making his face happy, after that, she would knock anyone into the ground or into orbit for even calling him Arty or Arty Bear, mostly about her sister Buttercup, but when it came to others, she would keep control and not launch them into orbit, but if someone upsets or makes fun of her Arty Bear, she would make sure they would instantly regret their words, but when Bubbles refers to him as "Her Man" he would manifest a pink energy flame around himself, but that would stop happening as often until high school, where they continue to still date, but when they are together, they would always be each other's partners in projects, but when it comes to their skills, he makes her happiest when she is able to be around him, eventually, they had finally graduated and he then proposed to her upon graduation, as she happily accepted, hugging him tightly in her arms, after that, they started their own family, as he remembers that Bubbles was the one who helped Art come out of his shell and gave him the confidence to not be afraid of his powers, with them now currently having 39 kids, and with those two being the heroes they are, Art being an artist as his job, and even helping design decorations and houses for when the need arises, and Bubbles working at the zoo with the animals, given she can talk to them from her powers, and with their kids still learning their powers, and having their youngest, Flurry Hardly having unlocked her special power at such a young age, they have their hands full, but they're lucky to be the superpowered heroes they are, or they would be overwhelmed by all the responsibilities they have, and the fact that their kids had a lot they could do from their bodies having Chemical X that passed on to their own kids as well, but overall, the future of Art and Bubbles is one that is bubbly and bright.

**Buttercup Utonium:** Buttercup and Art get along great since they both like to goof around and have fun too, they also are quite the party animals too, but Art knows when to keep in control, given how Art thinks of Buttercup as like a sister to him, but usually blushes and manifests a pink aura fire after Bubbles yells at her that Art is her man, and only hers, which makes him blush even more.

**Blisstina Utonium:** Art sees Bliss as like an older sister, which he secretly always wanted, he enjoys hanging with Bliss, especially since she has so much cool stuff from her travels as part of the UPB, and the fact that they get along well like the moon and the stars as well, overall, Bliss considers Art like the little brother she never had, and might someday be her step-brother.

**Percy Hardly:** Art sees Percy as a brother even though they were made with separate Chemical X mixtures, though Percy is like Blossom to him, he also acts as a parent when need be for him and Snowball, even if he can get bossy to Art at times, but is glad to have Percy as a brother regardless, and wouldn't give him up for the world, especially since he helps keep Snowball in check, which tends to happen quite often, but knows he can count on Percy when he needs him the most.

**Snowball Hardly:** Snowball and Art get along well since Snowball likes to goof around but also helps Art get serious when need be too, he is also like Art's version of Buttercup, but hates when he pranks him or Bubbles, cause that would wind up causing him to put his brother in a sound proof box for a while, till he cools off that is, but overall, Art is happy to have Snowball as a brother like no other, especially since he balances out Percy's bossiness at times, but is glad to have him regardless.

**Jaden Hardly:** Art loves hanging with his older brother Jaden, especially since with Jaden, come all the Toon friends he has with him, in fact, Jaden was the one who helped Art out when he felt all alone, and is always up for giving him advice when the need arises, even when he was having trouble with his crush on Bubbles. While he knows he has Percy and Snowball, he knows that Jaden will always have his back when times get tough, and won't back down when the time arises as well.

## Trivia

* Art is a lot like the Bubbles with Snowball and Percy, and can tend to be angry when pushed to it.
* Art once entered the Black Fire Berserker State when he was first being tested, and until he met Bubbles, he was scared of using his powers, afraid he'd be labeled a freak and worried if he entered his berserker state again.
* Art and Bubbles have tried different combinations with their aura powers, some of which include:
	+ Fire Aura plus Aura bird would result in an Aura phoenix.
	+ Electricity Aura plus an Aura bird would result in an Aura thunderbird.
	+ Light Aura combined with Bubbles' Aura unicorn would make an Aura alicorn.

* Art has some inspiration from Ladybug and Cat Noir's Evillustrator, who share the power to draw things into existence and alter things by changing them in the drawings.
* Bubbles, along with Percy and Snowball, are the only ones who know of Art's Berserker State, with Snowball and Percy seeing it, and Bubbles only knowing about it, with the others in the Utonium family and Sapna seeing it in the second stage when he had Deb O'Nair by the throat in a black aura fire berserker arm in "Deb O'Nair vs. The Black Fire", while Bubbles learned about it in High School during "Secrets of the Art: Black Fire Beast Part 1."
* Art, Snowball and Percy are brothers, but Art was the only one who knew Jaden was their older brother.
* Art's Voice comes from Courtney Taylor from her roles as Kaio Kincaid/K.O. as well as TKO when Art enters his black fire state, for his present day voice, with Dave Franco, from his role as Lloyd Garmadon from The Lego Ninjago Movie, for his high school voice, and Sean Schemmel, for his role as Goku from the Dragon Ball Franchise for his adult voice, with Ziv Zaifman providing his singing voice as a kid, and Hugh Jackman providing his singing voice in High School and adult singing voice.
* Art's Black Fire Berserker state nearly killed Deb O'Nair when she used Bubbles as her pawn, after he attacked Deb in black fire rage, her vocal cords were damaged beyond repair, rendering her permanently mute.
* When Art was made, his creators discovered he had the Powerpuff equivalent to ADD, since his creator also has that same disability.
* Art's Snuggle Toy is Picasso Parrot, a rainbow colored parrot with an artist hat on his head.
* Art can't have too much sugar, or he goes nuts and bounces off the walls, the celling, and the everything else in the room, going on a sugar and snack binge unlike any other, and given his powers, that's saying something.
* When Art's colored energy projection glows, there are lots of spirals that float around the outline of it, in reality, it represents life, creation, birth and rebirth, evolution, awareness, and growth or development.
* Art's energy powers are a nod to the elemental powers and essences that are from the Ninjago Universe, while the theme to his constructs are of the heroes from My Hero Academia's costumes when using them fully.
