Homebrew Geckoi Species Details

Geckoi skin comes in various colors, such as yellow, green, blue and white. Geckoi are 4 to 5 feet tall as they are typically hunched over. For length, from tail to head, they are about 8 feet long. Sexual dimorphism exists in the Geckoi race. Males have spikes on their backs and tails, while females have feathers. Female feathers are akin to hair. Generally, females are brighter colored as they have access to a greater variety of colors through their feathers. For other features, Geckoi have teeth, do not have lips, and have 5 fingers/toes on their hands/feet. Geckoi do not need to wear clothing as they do not have any visible genitals, nor does the temperature in their typical environment require it. The clothing Geckoi do wear is for functionality, such as for climbing and storage, or as decoration. Rope clothing is common, such as rope harnesses, rope skirts and rope bandages. Geckoi are a social and friendly race. They originally were a nomadic, but hidden race. Overtime, a majority of their people have transitioned into a more open merchant-style race. Considering this, money is one of the best gifts for a Geckoi. Although Geckoi are against slavery, as merchants they aren't oppose to selling and trading slaves. As a social race, the Geckoi often adopt the cultures of the people they are near and interact with. For celebrations, Geckoi celebrate occasions such as a completed deal or a change in station, and whatever other occasions are celebrated from their adopted cultures. The Geckoi are quite disease resistant, and therefore will eat almost anything. Geckoi hold value in the life of a person and will not eat them. A common dish in their cuisine is watered rice with insects. One might call this dish an insect risotto. The relationship culture of the Geckoi is polygamous, and they typically do not have marriages. They have sex quite often, and do not get jealous in that regard. They also run brothels called Slime Huts, where many people from other races come to. Those working in the brothels don't worry about children often as it is hard for a Geckoi to have a half-breed child, and female Geckoi specifically have natural defenses against impregnation.
