Torneko Taloon: Difference between revisions

Torneko wears a loose muumuu, chosen for comfort and practicality over fashionability. He hefts a giant backpack of sorts at all times, which he uses to hold his wares, personal belongings and, presumably, some of the party's items. He has a mustache and huge belly, both of which help to bring out his general jolliness.  He has blue hair and a blue mustache.

While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations. While Torneko appears to be loyal to the {{Hero 4}} to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with. He does seem to have a rather cowardly side. As seen in the party chat, Torneko would sometimes volunteer to remain behind in the wagon right before facing a formidable adversary, only to claim he was kidding right afterwards. Torneko is often noted by his boss to be lazy. This is further seen when he meets the Hero, {{Meena}} and {{Maya}} at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the monsters too tough for him to handle himself, he sticks the task of restoring light to the flames to the others before heading back to [[Porthtrunnel]] (although this action could be somewhat justified by the fact that Torneko had a bounty on his head for rebuilding the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]]).

Torneko wakes up in Chapter 3 in his house in [[Lakanaba]] to work his job at the local weapons shop while supporting his wife Tessie and his son Tipper. However, he feels that this life is not good enough for him, so he sets on a journey to fulfill his dream, which is to own a shop. He then hears about the [[Steel Strongbox]] that allows him to travel anywhere without worrying about dying, because it keeps all of the [[Gold_coin|Gold]] when he dies, instead of taking half of it.

Torneko made it to the castle and meets an old man who wants to sell his shop to someone with permission from King Norman. The King states that he will consider the merchant's request. While in the throne room, he reads the letter to The Princess detailing that King Shamus of Ballymoral is seeking to conquer Endor, prompting Endor's King to give him the [[Royal Scroll]] (which is a request for the children of both castles to marry, and thus avoiding the need to go to war). Torneko delivers the Scroll to King Shamus, who agrees to dismiss his plans. Soon after, King Norman allows the merchant to open [[Torneko's shop|a shop]], which he does and calls his family over to their new home.

Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]]. He needed 60,000 gold coins to achieve this, which Torneko helped out with (through making money at his shop, as well as providing a set of [[Steel broadsword]]s and [[Iron armour]]s to Endor's warriors). Once the tunnel is completed, Torneko traveled through on behalf of the old man and accepts the task of carrying on his dream by traveling the world by [[ship]] and gathering many legendary treasures.

Upon defeating [[Psaro the Manslayer]] ([[Aamon]] in the remakes), the party returns to their lives with Torneko, returning to his family in Endor, and later showing up with the group in [[Hidden Valley]] to see the Hero.
