Here is an idea what about we just give the species a name and his purpose in this world. Then, let him come up with a name.

I suggest we call his race the Jaras and say something like: "We were hoping for a scout and assassin, but did not realize we would be making a new race. Please feel free to make yourself at home here, but first I'd like to invite you to a competition among my other greatest followers."

Don't tell the newly sentient being that it was an accident, please.

Yep... Not all truth should be told

And I am unsure that we need to bring it to the tournament... Who knows how will it behave?

Jaras is the species name then. Why not just tell him that his species purpose from the get go their is no point of lying to him. Just tell him he he is going to play a major role in future conflict by playing the role of a special-ops unit.

We tried to create a tool. It's a bad idea to tell a sentient creature  you are my tool and I am going to use you for my goals

Invite it to watch. Show it off to Krait.
...Figure out a gender pronoun to use.

And it's not much better to say you were planning to.

Him.

After all, Slenderman, Thin men, and Adam was the first created in abrahamaic mythology.

Actually, Adam wouldn't be a bad name. A hell of a lot better than "Jarate".

I don't know. Plenty of kids now adays know they're "accidents" and it doesn't hit them hard. I'm a accident, actually. Telling him we didn't expect him to be so wise wouldn't be the worst thing we could do to him. Telling him his race was/is intended to be tools for us probably is.

Still, that's later information. I don't know why we have to tell him everything right away. Right now we should examine him and make sure everything is functioning correctly.

A lot bit cliche, though...besides, weren't we letting him choose his own name?

I'm an accident, too, but I'd be a bit...put-off if I discovered that Mom and Dad were planning to make me an assassin until they realized I could talk.

We need to respond to him somehow...

We tell him whatever his race name we've picked out is, then tell him to choose his own personal name. Then we offer him a job in surveillance and assassination.

My only question is why we are naming him after a Youtuber.
Because Karnewarrior said no stupid names and I replied that my mind just said Tobuscus for reasons that I still don't know and then Bay12 did what Bay12 does best.
