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. | Torneko wears a loose muumuu, chosen for comfort and practicality over fashionability.

Torneko has elements of both a [[Merchant]] and a [[Gadabout]]. As a merchant, he can use his [[appraise]] ability to give basic information and loss/return estimates on items in the party's possession. However, he also has the gadabout tendency to not follow orders in battle, bellowing loudly, staring blankly into space, or telling naff gags when ordered to attack. He can equip most weapons and armour, and has respectable HP and level growth, and is otherwise a decent fighter; however, his defence leaves something to be desired. Beginning with the Playstation remake of the game, Torneko also learns a few exploration skills akin to the [[Thief]] vocation such as allowing the party to avoid encounters in dungeons and sniffing out the remaining treasures in an area. | |||
