Personality
The Chómpiras is a middle-aged man, somewhat carefree and crestfallen. He is usually flirtatious and womanizer (especially with women), but he avoids marriage, since that imposes a commitment and the "law of least effort" does not go with commitments. He is a man with a sense of humor; He is chivalrous and has respect for hierarchies, although the latter does it more for comfort than for conviction. His physical constitution is regular, since he was a slender man who grew white with the maturity of the "40 and everyone" and of course, his economy does not allow him to eat three times a day and thus reaffirm his appearance as a mature man.
Wardrobe
El Chómpiras wore black pants and a black jacket, wore a striped black and white (gray) shirt, possibly as an inmate. He usually wears a beard of a few days (which refuses to shave) and a black cap. Interestingly, this outfit is identical to the dancers accompanying Elvis Presley in the Jailhouse Rock song video.
