Geko

**Geko** (ゲコ *Geko*) is a Nightmare from Dressarc. He befriended the two princes and witnessed the destruction of the kingdom. Geko waited over 70 years for their return, while protecting the Dressarc Castle.

## Appearance

Geko is a small Nightmare that looks like a metallic robot frog.

Geko has round, green eyes and a body consisting of dark grey metal with bolts. He wears a tall, dark grey general hat with golden parts. Instead of hands, Geko has golden claws. He also has a silver pipe as a tail, going straight up into what appears to be an exhaust pipe.

## Personality

Although he is not a Halfling, Geko is a surprisingly intelligent Nightmare. He dosn't know how to speak the human language, exclusively communicating in "Geko" noises, but still knows how to convey his feelings. Michi is able to understand and translate what Geko is saying.

Geko is a very curious Nightmare and is especially fascinated by machines. He loved learning how to build and use machine from Dressarc's former princes, Ajeel and Halil. Geko's knowledge of machines is so extensive, that he learned how to remodel the entire Dressarc Castle to contain traps and moving rooms.

Geko is exceedingly loyal, as seen with his friends, the former princes of Dressarc. After their death, Geko continued to protect the Dressarc Castle for over 70 years, waiting patiently for their return

## Synopsis

### History

Geko's origins are unknown but one day 70 years ago, he was adopted by Ajeel and Halil, the young princes of Dressarc. Geko and the princes instantly became friends, but Geko needed to stay hidden, as Nightmares were still seen as enemies. Geko didn't mind as the princes gave the little Frog Nightmare more than enough attention. Geko learned how to build and use machines, and felt happy.

But then, the catastrophe of Dressarc happened. A huge amount of Remurias Gates opened all over the country and flooded Dressarc with Nightmares. The princes had to escape the castle, but it was also full of monsters. They decided to take Geko and flee through a hidden passageway. The three ended up at Dressarc's Everstone deep below the castle, but the Nightmares caught up. They destroyed a wall to block the escape path and the princes realized that this was their end.

But Ajeel noticed, that there was a small gap in the rubble. Small enough so that at least Geko can escape. The Frog Nightmare was reluctant, but Ajeel managed to convince him. He told Geko, that he had to ask for help and that he shouldn't worry about the princes. If the castle was safe again, he would receive the title of 'Defense General of Dressarc'. Geko accepted and escaped the castle, leaving the princes to die.

When Geko arrived outside, no one was left. Everyone had died. A while later he returned to the Everstone, only to notice that the princes had vanished too. But Geko stayed loyal. He decided to protect the castle until the princes would return, no matter how long it would take.

In the following 70 years, Geko would remodel the castle, to include various traps and moving rooms to keep intruders out.

### Game

#### Dressarc Arc

Geko appears after Azel and the others enter the Dressarc Castle. The Frog Nightmare tries to block their path, but the group just walks past him. Angry, Geko decides to secretly follow them.

Later, when the group meets Rachel and tries to talk to her, Geko intervenes. He activates one of the castle's traps by opening a hole in the ground. Everyone except for Oliver and Michi fall down into the basement of the castle. The two are surprised and worried, while Geko happily looks up to Oliver.

Oliver and Michi descend into the castle's basement to look for their friends, and Geko secretly follows them. Geko seems to really like Oliver for some reason, and he notices this as well. Michi can understand Geko's words, so Geko uses this to introduce himself and to tell Oliver & Michi to follow him to 'a place of memories'. Geko then pushes a button to reveal a secret passageway.

The passageway leads even further down until they can see a light. Oliver instantly recognizes it as the Everstone's light and rushes into the room. There, they not only find Dressarc's Everstone, but also a video recording device. Oliver activates it and they see a video of the two former princes and Geko's backstory.

Afterwards, Geko tells Oliver, that he was alone all the time, but has waited patiently for his return. Oliver realizes that Geko mistook him for Ajeel, one of the two princes, but decides to play along for now. He asks Geko to return his friends, and the Frog Nightmare happily does so.

However, Geko was not able to correctly identify friends and enemies, as the first one to arrive is Shion. He throws an attack at Oliver, but Geko jumps in to protect him, losing conciousness in the process.

After the fight, Geko wakes up again, but is still weak and wounded. Oliver rushes over to the frog nightmare and embraces him. He realizes that Geko is about to die, so for a final time, he plays the role of Ajeel. Oliver tells Geko how proud he is, that Geko managed to defend the castle for so long. Finally, he awards him the title of 'Defense General of Dressarc'.

With that, all of Geko's dreams are fulfilled. With a grateful smile, Geko closes his eyes and purple smoke starts to engulf him, as he start to disappear.
