"I just wish to work to my fullest, so I can aim for even higher levels!"
— Torque
Torque (トルク, toruku) is a playable character in Summon Night 5.
Personality[]
As a genius, one would expect him to be cocky and unenthusiastic toward his surroundings. Even so, he certainly has a childish side to him, such as how he can become upset over trivial things easily and even taking his anger out on others. However he acts unexpectedly mature at times, where he'll recognize his mistakes immediately and sincerely apologize to the other person. Though when it comes to blacksmithing he acts a bit more childish, showing the innocent and honest side of his personality.
Background[]
At a very young age, Torque has already forged many excellent weapons, so much so that he is titled a genius Meister. Despite all this, he is still not satisfied and strives to improve his skills even further. He is a descendant of famous blacksmiths from Wystern, a region known for weapon crafting and has inherited their skills. His goal is to forge the ultimate weapon.
Development[]
Torque first meets with the main character when he had just arrived in Savorle City. He ended up bumping into a suspicious looking man and the two start arguing over who should apologize for it. Thanks to the intervention of the main character a fight was prevented, but Torque was still furious and ended up being rude to the lead. Noticing his mistakes, he apologizes right away and also offers praise for the help. They met again sometime later at the Star Dock Café & Bar in one of the rare occasions where the protagonist was working there to fill in for the Owner "just for a while". He ended up falling in love with their coffee, and to demonstrate his respect he started referring to the main character as "master" (even against the latter's will). They would meet again soon after, when Torque asks for directions to the new place he'd be working at during his stay in Savorle. To the protagonist's surprise, he would be the substitute for the old blacksmith responsible for the weapons used by the Eucross (since the old man was suffering from terrible pains in his back). This improved the relationship between the two even more, since Torque loved to fix and upgrade the lead's weapons, since he felt he was needed by someone who was working for a greater good, and if it wasn't for him, that person could end up falling. Together with his Cross, Anvil, he creates many powerful items for them during the game. He eventually revealed his dream to forge the best weapon ever, something comparable to or could even surpass the legendary Magical Swords, and promised he would give the result of this dream to the main character as thanks for encouraging him. Afterwards, he felt even more the need to move to the next level and began visiting the Savorle School where he demanded he be given the special hammer used by his master. During his talk with the substitute principal, he kept a prideful attitude and many times expressed how his skills were already at the right level and how his master had already accepted his abilities. However, the one in charge refused to even let him see said hammer. Extremely frustrated by this, he let his anger get the best of him and ended up telling an old turtle man vital information he overheard about the barrier surrounding the treasure room in the school. He later felt regretful when he saw that the old man was actually one of the leaders of a criminal organization, and that he used Torque's hint to invade the treasure room to steal the legendary Magical Sword from there. Even though the operation ended in failure due to the sword being a fake, Torque still felt terrible for what he did and made a genuine apology the next day. It was when, for the first time, he met the great principal, who revealed his master's final test to him: Only when Torque finds someone he really wished to help with his work that he should be granted the hammer (that someone being the main character). As thanks for Torque's help in stopping the invasion and as a proof of his growth, he finally received his master's legendary hammer. From this point on, Torque fought alongside the protagonist against the Crimson Chain, and eventually the Nether Beasts. He'd go on to aid the main character until they put an end to all those conflicts.
Ending[]
During their night talks the main character starts to flirt with Torque, though he felt very embarrassed by this as he thought they were joking since nobody would be interested in a child like himself. However, in their ending the protagonist blatantly makes a love confession to Torque and even invited him out for a date. Torque replied that he would get the wrong idea if this kept on, to which the main character answered that this would be totally fine.
Ability[]
Torque is one of the best physical attackers in the party thanks to the range he gets by using his great sword. He can attack in two rows vertically or three rows horizontally without the need for MP. He also can make a Cross equip with Anvil and his weapon, becoming much more resistant and stronger temporarily.
