Short Description: Tall blond man of slightly average height, blue eyes, probably dressed as a chef.
Info: Antonio Trussardi is a gentle soul who has always wanted nothing more than to make people happy with his cooking. A prodigy in the kitchen from a young age, "Tonio" quickly discovered his Stand, the psychic manifestation of his intense desire to simply cook good food for people. But due to his young age, his talents in the kitchen went unrecognized in Naples, as he was very young. Thus Tonio left his homeland in order to pursue his dreams, eventually settling in Morioh, in S City, M Prefecture, Japan. He was pleased to note that he could realize his dreams of owning a restaurant, AND find plenty of high-quality ingredients. Tonio can cook his Stand "Pearl Jam", swarms of tiny living pearl onion/tomato beings, into his food to cure many ailments in people. The more expensive and high-quality of ingredients that he can use, the more dire the ailments he can cure. But first he uses the lessons gained on his journeys to read a customer's palm to determine the ailments to be cured. A customer should be cautioned, though... the healing can be a bit painful, and possibly disturbing. And whatever you do, DON'T enter his kitchen unwashed!
This man stands slightly above average European height, about average European build, and has blond hair arranged in a neat short haircut. His eyes are light blue and he usually has a smile on his face, particularly if one happens upon his restaurant as a customer. In these instances he's usually wearing a crisp white chef's outfit, complete with hat, decorated with golden metal "T" shapes in various places. Otherwise, he wears very nice clothes, either business casual or formal -- depending on the occasion. Whatever he's wearing, he is always well put-together.

Background
Tonio was born in Naples, Italy, and was a prodigy with cooking. To perfect his art, he began to travel across the world, studying cuisine, herbology, and ancient traditional medicines from around the world. During these travels, his Stand manifested itself in response to his intense study and deep-rooted desire to cook the best food that would make people happy. His Stand, Pearl Jam, is a colony of living vegetables that look like a cross between a pearl onion and a cherry tomato. Cooking these vegetables into his food increased the potential of his cooking, and he developed the ability to heal ailments with his food. Unfortunately, even with this, laws are laws -- when he returned to Naples, he still wasn't old enough to open his own restaurant by law. So he moved to Morioh, in Japan. There, even though the competition was tough, he had opportunities to make something of himself.
He opened this restaurant, and placed it near the cemetery in Morioh. This restaurant, "Trattoria Trussardi" (the Trussardi Restaurant), had no menu, and the seating was very limited, so one was encouraged to make reservations. Upon being seated, usually by Tonio himself, Tonio would look at a diner's hands. In doing this, he discerned ailments that the diners might be suffering from. And from this he decided what to serve the customers. A meal included an appetizer, two main courses, a dessert, and an accompanying drink. Each dish -- even the drink sometimes -- was made specifically for one ailment, and though other diners could eat and enjoy a dish not made for them, it wouldn't help them unless it was made specifically for them.
However, being brought to NeoTokyo took him away from his poor restaurant. If Morioh, in whole or in part, has come here with him, he doesn't know where it is. However, Tonio's enthusiasm will not be dampened. If he did it once, he figures, he can open his restaurant again. Besides that, NeoTokyo presents itself as a plethora of opportunities to learn cooking and medicinal arts not only from his world, but from many worlds!
Personality
Despite the sometimes frankly disturbing effects of his healing abilities -- teeth with cavities firing out of mouths, intestines bursting out of torsos, etc. -- Tonio actually is a nice guy. All he wants is to make people happy and healthy with his food. Just to share his love of cooking with the world. He's polite, genial, and kind, and really doesn't mean any harm.
However, he has a berserk button -- people coming into his kitchen without washing their hands. In his opinion, germs are the enemy of any kitchen, and thus they are the enemy of every cook. He shows another side when this happens; he grows furious and has been known to throw knives, which he seems to be pretty good at. And despite his clearly completely human physical state, and no real combat knowledge... the other person's propensity for being able to grind him to powder doesn't seem to register. But in the end, all he'll do is demand the guilty party wash his or her hands, and clean everything that was touched with dirty hands.
