Geckospots

## Appearance

Gecko is a brown tom-cat with dark brown odd-looking spots all over his back, head, bridge of the nose, top half of the tail, and shoulders. He has light brown in the inner part of his legs, as well has his underside, chest, neck (front side), and his chin. His eyes are a shade of hazel. He has no ears because of a fox and Nero, a loner. His right shoulder has no fur thanks to the same fox that tore off his ear. Gecko's belly has millions of scars from multiple fights with Ravenskies, Leopardroar, and a few others.

## Personality

### ScorchClan

#### *Kit - Apprentice*

He is a hyper and brash tom. He is quick to forget instructions if he doesn't pay attention, which is quite common for him. Gecko has a hard time staying in one place for too long. Many cats find Gecko to be quite annoying and unbearable. Near the end of his apprenticeship, he became quieter.

#### *Warrior*

He gradually became fed up with feeling guilty over his mother's deaths- to hide away his guilt, he masked it with anger. Gecko comes off severely moody, aggressive, and stubborn.

At one point, he broke down and showed his suppressed emotions, but quickly returned to his rage-filled self.

### Rogue

Gecko feels somewhat numb, yet the pain in his heart remains. To keep him from severely harming or killing anyone else he loves, he takes his anger out on anyone that pisses him off or really anyone that's near him unexpectedly.

## History

He was born outside of the ScorchClan camp, with the help of Featherpaw, the kind, deaf Medicine cat apprentice of ThistleClan. Owlfeather, his mother, gave birth to not only Geckokit, but Ravenkit and a stillborn as well.

As an apprentice, Geckopaw lost Crowhollow to a fox. Crowhollow wanted to protect Ravenpaw and Geckopaw, but the fox was overwhelmingly too powerful to fend off. In a desperate attempt to save her kits, she dove off of a cliff, pushing the fox down with her. Geckopaw was deeply wounded with her foster mother's death, but kept his head high- as high as it could go. Later on in his apprenticeship, Owlfeather had been murdered by her kin, Chickadee, but the Clan mistook her death for foxes. He felt so terrible about the deaths of his moms and how sad Ravenpaw seemed, his mental health dropped, which caused him to be a little bit more quiet than he was before.

When he became Geckospots, he was assigned Falconflight to mentor, because he was previously a kittypet and had no knowledge of any hunting or fighting skills. Geckospots acted rather mean towards Falconflight, hardly taught him much of anything. He was assigned to a patrol with Leopardroar, Falconflight, Ravenskies, and Cloudhunter that chased out foxes that lurked in ScorchClan's territory which is where he had his left ear torn off of his head, and the fur ripped from his right shoulder.

When talking with most of the cats from the patrol while recovering from their wounds, Falconflight left camp to stay away from Geckospots for a while. Leopard and Cloud tried convincing him to go have a talk with Falconflight. He only went after the former kittypet because he found it hard to say no to Cloudhunter. In the end, Falconflight blamed Gecko for his missing eye from the fox fight, and a few other nasty things, which caused Geckospots to attack him. Luckily, Cloudhunter followed the two just in case something like this happened, and stopped Gecko from literally murdering Falconflight on the spot. This was probably the event that brought him to an even darker place in his mind.

Much later, Geckospots and Cloudhunter became mates. Not to long after becoming mates, Cloudhunter met a loner named Nero in the territory, who had demanded Silverkit (a kit Cloud adopted) or to be mates with Nero for him to leave. Cloudhunter ran back to camp in fear after arguing back and forth with the loner. Geckospots, who was at camp, tried to comfort her to get her to tell him what happened. Silverkit was also in the camp, running up to the two to see what happened. Once Cloudhunter told Gecko what happened, he got extremely angry, instantly heading out to meet with Nero so that he could chase him out to protect his mate. Cloudhunter insisted on coming with too, but Geckospots, being as stubborn as he was, tried to get her to stay... and failed. The two went out of camp, and found Nero. The three talked for some time; Nero claimed that Cloud had been meeting with him for many nights, and that she had no interest in Geckospots. Silverkit showed up, snarling that Cloudhunter would never do that. The she-cat denied this, trying to explain what really happened. Geckospots struggled to believe Cloudhunter- especially when Nero gave proof of his side of the story. Cloudhunter grabbed Silverkit, angry that Geckospots would even consider Nero's side of the story over his own mate's, and ran back to camp.

Geckospots stared down at the ground where Cloudhunter had stood just a few moments ago before running off. His whiskers flinched, trying to piece together everything that happened. Some parts didn't seem right, but- he figured they (Cloud & Nero) just didn't tell him the extra information or something. His head twisted to Nero, his muzzle wrinkling, "This is your fault!" He yelled so loudly that he started to have a coughing fit. "Maybe if she didn't meet you, she wouldn't be using either of us!" He snarled, turning his whole body to face the tom. A really creepy smirk crept onto Geckospots's face. "But." He paused, as if debating whether or not saying anything was a good idea, "I know how to prevent this from happening. I know just the thing." Nero grimaced, growing nervous at the tom’s sinister expression. He wasn’t expecting this. “I don’t want her anymore, just give me Silverkit and I’ll leave. For good.” Geckospots's tail lashed, baring his teeth, "I would... but..." His eyes twitched, "...you won't be able to carry her to the place I'm sending you to..." He inched closer to Nero, the same terrifying grin spread from ear to ear on Gecko.

He launched himself at Nero, but Nero snatched up Silverkit (she ran from the camp, away from Cloudhunter to 'help' Gecko) and sprinted off to hide the kit and fight off Geckospots.
