The main character, Calliope, is a hardened criminal and a pirate. Her sister was taken by a mysterious organization, and she’s trying to track them down and rescue her. This boy also has a loved one who was taken by that organization, and he knows that Calliope is searching for them, so he tells her that he’s also a pirate and convinces her to team up (he must have rolled a natural 20 in Charisma or something, even I’m not sure yet how he did it). However, he’s not really an experienced pirate/criminal at all, and she only ends up tolerating him because they have a common enemy and he has some useful skills. He’s a lot more open and warm than she is and he respects his enemies in a way that she doesn’t feel the need to, but he’s very naive and falls into a lot of traps pretending to have experience he doesn’t. It also might be important to note that Calliope is a werewolf, and I haven’t decided if he is or not yet.
EDIT: He’s now been decided to be not a werewolf but the illegitimate son of a fae noble (is that how he has such a high Charisma score), but he doesn’t know that, he just knows that weird things happen to him and he’s learned to roll with it.
Names I’ve been considering but that aren’t quite right are: Jules (it suits him and I like the name, but I know a person named that, and there was a tragedy in my community a few years ago involving the death of someone with a very similar name, so I don’t feel like I can use it), Julian/Julien (same reason as above), Darius (I have a character with that name already), and Damien (it seems too close to Darius, the Damian spelling doesn’t fit him at all, and it just doesn’t feel quite right).
I like a soft, vaguely French name for him, unisex would be great. Preferably nothing Ancient Greek, because I’m already using that for the main character and her sister. Nothing starting with C or P also because of them. Sorry about the specifications, but beyond that go ham! Thank you!
