- @Halographic i really like the dynamic you've made with them! if maria really does feel bad for pilo, then maybe she's just too caught up in her image to do much. perhaps she's insecure/just very much wants the approval of her older brother (for whatever reason that may be :o)?
i also really like pilo, and am just gonna throw a few ideas for him. he could falsely idolize bruno, and desperately try to fit in/go on outings with his siblings, despite the rejection and hostility thrown his way, showing that (pilo) could be a little childish or naive? or at the very least, be hopelessly optimistic. on the other hand, maybe pilo is a bit annoying, which is why his siblings don't tolerate him (though it doesn't excuse their behavior :P). or maybe, bruno/maria are just embarrassed by having to take their younger, baby sibling along with them, and so bruno sort of eases the embarrassment by 'demeaning' pilo with the teasing?
@22tabby i couldn't find something specific on the meaning of kylar, but it could stand as a variant of "kyle," which means "narrows, channel, (or a) strait." i also found this in reference to a book character's name, and they say it means "he who kills and is killed."
@Fuscontidox name ideas! i feel like something a bit more 'uppity' would work; ryker, edwin, digby, yates, niles, vance, briggs, lennox, keaton, finley, graham, lucius...
