Ollie Goes For A Stroll

I am working on my pitch deck and I am up to the supporting characters section. One standout in the group is Ollie. This frog is the undisputed brainpower of the gang—the kid you want next to you when something ancient, mechanical, or wildly dangerous starts beeping. He devours textbooks for fun, quotes manuals nobody else knew existed, and can break down complex systems faster than most adults. When the crew runs into locked doors, dead robots, or mysterious upgrade stations, Ollie’s usually already three steps ahead, flipping pages in his head and calmly explaining why this is probably not going to explode.

But outside the safe, orderly world of facts and formulas? That’s where things get a little dicey. Ollie has a habit of missing the obvious stuff—sarcasm, social cues, or the fact that everyone else noticed the giant warning sign five minutes ago. He can explain how a power core works in perfect detail, then immediately walk into a tree because he was thinking about torque ratios. Life, unlike science, doesn’t always come with footnotes.

That contrast is what makes Ollie special. He’s brilliant without being smug, curious without being fearless, and endlessly useful even when he’s accidentally clueless. In a world full of danger, secrets, and half-buried robots, Ollie reminds us that intelligence isn’t just about knowing the answers—it’s about asking the right questions… even if you sometimes forget to look up while doing it.
