Description
Gecko is a placid totem among the Diablo. He hangs around, suns, and occasionally eats bugs. He epitomizes calm, laziness and patience, rare traits among the Diablo. The Diablo who follow him are usually those who have some respect for life and don't want to kill everything. Most of his followers are Bourgeois.
Traits
Gecko gives his followers the Ragabash Gift: Fly Feet and a long sticky tongue that can snatch items that weigh up to a pound (Dexterity + Brawl, difficulty 7.)
Bans
Those who follow Gecko become extremely placid, and lay around and sleep in the sun all day until roused by something (making things like jobs and spouses almost impossible to keep.) He also reduces his followers' Rage -- a Diablo's purpose for existing -- by 4, because someone can't really lay around and sleep all day if he is constantly Frenzying. Those who follow Gecko also eat a lot of insects, which grosses out their friends.
