History: Seth Gecko wiki.
Appearance: 5'10" and deceptively muscular. Seth is seen in a tank top or shirtless at his lowest points, otherwise he opts to dress in suits in which he appears to be an athletic build at best. His hair is black and a faded cut. The top fluctuates between two to four inches. Not usually clean shaven with a minimum of a five o'clock shadow, sometimes donning a scruffy beard. He has a tribal tattoo (black flames) going up his right arm to his neck from his forearm.
Personality: Suave and charming yet equally grating and callus. The closed off way that Seth can carry himself stems from a life of crime and difficult childhood. He is the older Gecko brother, recognized as the leader between the two. The younger is known as the brains of the outfit where Seth holds the people skills. However, Seth also has a habit of punching first and asking questions later, if at all.
The eldest Gecko has a protective streak that's instinctive, often physically shielding others from hazards while never calling attention to the heroic act. That protectiveness is seen when he gives up a score more than once in an effort to 'do the right thing'. Seth was asked by a once enemy if he always tries to do the right thing. He never answered, only stared with his mouth hanging open. Yet when on the defensive, his method of helping someone else is sometimes cruel.
He's seen going to blows and verbally abusive in an effort to get his brother in line --both traits each of the boys suffered at the hands of their father while young, Seth more so than the youngest. After a disastrous heist with a young woman as his partner (in which a friend of hers had been killed to save them), Seth appeared to take it personal when that young woman (Kate Fuller) voiced having befriended the boy in hopes that he could help them with their brothers who each had recently turned into culebras (snake form of a vampire).
Seth made snide remarks about the young man until Kate ended up screaming for him to stop the car they were getting away in. He did as she demanded but retaliated venomously… "
You want help? Let me help you. And listen real close, because this one’s gold. Everybody that you ever loved is dead. Including your brother." He told her to get out and drove off, only to slam the brakes and throw his head back in frustration. Seth quickly drove back, leaving her with most of their score as well as the car. He's seen walking off with just one stack of cash.
Yet the Geckos do show affection, Seth more than his younger brother. He doesn't hold back touch with anyone familiar. It might not be in the form of hugs but he'll unconsciously place a soft hand on a back or arm. However, he projects being unaffected and uncaring rather than seen as weak.
Loyalty is huge for Seth. Although they had an abusive father, Seth is floored then furious at discovering his younger brother was ultimately responsible for their old man's death. He also comes undone after his brother chooses to part ways from him. Afterward, Seth doesn't intervene when the younger Gecko is threatened in front of him by an ex who he (Richie) also betrayed. Additionally, Seth kills his own lover the moment he finds out that she made a deal with an enemy and it cost the life of the man who raised the boys like his own after their father's death.
Seth tends to garner attention with the way he talks. He will almost always use a story as an example for a point he's trying to make. Sometimes it's on a personal note, or sometimes he'll use a Hollywood reference. Whether right or wrong, he tends to speak with conviction. He is bold in the face of danger. An enemy who has him dead to rights still receives contempt and sarcasm. Seth never shows anything less unless someone he cares about is at risk. Even then, it's a fleeting glimpse of uncertainty that his enemy gets before he steels and retaliates.
He would rather appear uncaring rather than allow himself to be seen as vulnerable. Seth doesn't easily take compliments, tending to downplay or dismiss what is favorably said about him. His brother's lover (who Seth once considered an enemy), told him, "
I kept thinking about you. How you got the shit beat out of you in that ring. How you kept on fighting for us, for the culebas." to which he played off '
Enemy of my enemy.'--no acknowledgment of risking his life for the aid of others, particularly others he showed major contempt for once.
Overall, Seth has a headstrong personality with a high regard for family as well as anyone who has shown loyalty to him and those who are vulnerable. Neither Gecko easily admit their feelings but Seth would be the first of the two--usually pushed by emotion. He is a desperado with a bit of a hero complex, never admitting he is anything but a criminal, and often getting others to believe just that thanks to a wicked tongue and bravado.
What did they do to end up here?: Nearly unleashed actual hell on earth with a very long list of dead bodies leading up to that moment.
Powers / Abilities: No magic or supernatural powers but he's survived multiple encounters with beings who had all the above which took more mental stamina than anything else. Being skilled with firearms also helped his survival. His mouth also has gotten him out of a few binds but has put him into almost as many. Physically, he can take quite a beating.
Inventory: • 45 caliber revolver
