Hey, nice story, Kimon!
I saw where you thought that Ben wasn't the right name for the character. Honestly, I think that there are three names that would suit the character and his personality, in my opinion. I don't know why, but I think that a name that begins with S would work. I don't know why, but it seems that it would suit the character. =/ The first one is Seiko, which is a Japanese name that means truth or force (trust me, I actually did a search on some names
). The other two are Shilah, which is Native American for brother (so the site said.
) and Socorro, which is a Spanish name for helper. I just figured that these names portrayed the character's personality the most. If you'd like to use something else, though, it's alright. I was just posting these to help you out a bit.
