You do realize that I am a complete ignoramous when it comes to science, COMMA eh? I have to look up all the terms so that I make Ivo seem like he knows what he is talking about!
Yes, people do that a lot for their characters. You do realise I was a complete ignoramus when it came to medieval weaponry and smithcraft before I had Teja as my character? Well, as complete an ignoramus as one can be as an archaeologists's daughter, but still...
He doesn't have to! That's some of the best fun in there. I mean, I came in there with a 6th century Ostrogoth (seen through 19th century interpretation) fresh from his glorious death in battle -- oh my...
In Milliways, he will find a fishtank full of living trilobites near the fireplace. Asar-Suti, my first character in Milliways ever, conjured them up long, long ago (in early 2005)...
I can't wait to get him to the part where Jurassic Park comes out. On the one hand, the intellectual in him will feel compelled to sneer at the mangling of scientific fact. On the other, the child in him will be SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!
Everybody thought so! That was what I felt like -- if only that movie and OMG ALL THE MERCH had been around when I was a kid of six and into dinosaurs!
And I did buy some stuff I just couldn't resist regardless.
I have found that velociraptors are quite a thing again, and very much a trending subject on the general meme pool, or at least the part I get to see.
If one of the trendiest people of the moment does a velociraptor impression, and there is a meme base with a velociraptor on it, then it's time to buy velociraptor shares again, so to speak...

Poor little Ivo will be like the doctor in Primeval.
All those references to pop culture that he will not understand....

If Jurassic Park had been around in the period I am writing him (1991), the man would have been a happier human being!

Ivo is a bit like the scientist Sam Neill plays. Zero tolerance for laymen and children. LOL
