Calypso is a flighty individual, in more ways than just the obvious. He's very aloof and avoidant of people, preferring to be alone with his thoughts and his interests... but at the same time, he's often easily dragged along. Calypso is also easily-influenced (in the social sense), and self-sacrificing, to a definite fault: he often sacrifices his happiness for the sake of others' happiness, believing that theirs comes before his (because they deserve it more than him, for some reason) to the point that he's often tempted to put down his own concerns to avoid hurting others. He'll often refrain from speaking his mind, thanks in part due to this as well as general social anxiety, and usually puts his will and wants generally below the wills and wants of others. If someone wants him to do something, as long as it doesn't go against his core moral values, nine times out of ten he'll do it, no matter how much he doesn't want to. He has a strong desire to be free, but finds much difficulty in actually making the first step towards freedom. Rashly speeding into things, some of which are important life decisions, often leads him into difficult situations, and causes both him and the people around him undue anxiety as a result.
He often plays the fool, acting stupid and saying silly things in order to come off funny or harmless; and often, inadvertently or not, undermining his own intelligence.

Calypso is "immortal", in a technical sense. Unlike his peers he's able to die, but will soon reappear as if nothing happened at all; though he acts oblivious towards his prior deaths, he certainly doesn't forget them: it's easier to just pretend he has.
Thanks to time-shenanigans, Calypso is a Sidewinder-offshoot, but also predates Sidewinder by a few millenia and then some.
He takes a particular interest in ornithology and lepidopterology.
The most hard-to-locate of Sidewinder's offshoots, given that people of any importance aren't usually looking for him - which is equal parts a relief and kind of sad, in his opinion. Those who know, however, know he's usually hanging around the butterfly gardens of Qhynrena's biosphere in Little Nymrackt.

CHARON [good friend]
The two of them very much enjoy each others' company, and out of any of them they're probably the ones that get along the best; Calypso loves hearing her ideas, and she loves that he's willing to sit and listen and engage with her - and even offer feedback in a constructive way, unlike some other people.

SIDEWINDER [progenitor]
Calypso doesn't talk to Sidewinder much. He respects them, surely, in the way he feels he has to, but they're by no means close; Calypso finds Sidewinder far too volatile and often angry for his tastes, even considering the company he's sometimes kept in the past.
