Oliver Thomas
A jack of all trades and master of none, Oliver's superpower is that he is able to sound plausible in almost any situation. He styles himself an amateur technologian and a professional meeting-goer. He constantly struggles with being a passionate generalist in an age that increasingly values specialization. He strives to master his fears of crowds, clowns, and peak oil before any of them can do him in. He likes chocolate and making things. He believes that waterjet cutters > laser cutters even though lasers >> water, and that 3D printers will someday become really useful. Chocolate and dogs are also good.
