Tora (Xenoblade)

How Tora joined the Tourney
Tora (Japanese: トラ) is a main playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He is a Nopon who comes with a designated robotic companion called Poppi α. Poppi α calls him "Masterpon". As shown by his outfit, Tora is a boy who loves mechanics. He aspired to be a Driver, but his attempt at resonating with a Core Crystal was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, he secretly holds several trumps, like Poppi α who works as his artificial Blade, in order to fulfill his goal of becoming a Driver. He tends to call Rex "Rex-Rex" (Japanese: アニキ, Aniki, "Big Brother"). In battle, Tora can fight using the Drill Shield with Poppi α, as well as the Mech Arms with Poppi QT. He can attract enemies and direct their attacks on him while protecting his allies offering them offensive opportunities.

After the crisis in Elysium in averted, Tora explores Duckburg and finds work at Waddle Construction because of his science knowhow. Meeting Mark Beaks, Tora learns the parrot has a bad agenda for McDuck Enterprises.
