John Hammond
"But with this place, I wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real, something that they could see and touch. An aim not devoid of merit."

InGen's CEO and your beloved host. Despite his high age (he's around 70!), Hammond is a lively and active person. With Jurassic Park, he realized his vision of a theme park with real attractions, where the visitors would not be lied to. Of course, Jurassic Park itself is full of lies, but Hammond is always blissfully unaware of how he contradicts himself.
Generally he comes across as an eccentric but friendly person. No matter who you are, he'll treat you a little as if you were a member of his family - a son in law maybe or a grandchild. This patronizing behaviour is even kept up when he dislikes you.
However, no matter how friendly he acts, reasoning with Hammond is pretty much impossible. He'll contradict you and cut you off at the nearest chance. Laugh your argument off even. Safety issues? There are none, you worrier!

Only in stress situations his true colors surface. Now an old man, Hammond used to be a stone cold business man and if he doesn't get his way now, he'll find a way to change that. Yelling and demanding, a boss you would not want to have.

Despite his repeated statements, Hammond did spare some expense when it comes to the park.


John Raymond "Ray" Arnold
"Hold onto your butts..."
Jurassic Park's chief engineer who had been presumed dead during the first Isla Nublar incident. To his questionable luck, he ended up barely surviving, 'only' losing one of his arms. Feeling a sense of responsibility for the death count of the last accident and unwilling to leave the rebuilt project to the reckless Hammond, Arnold has gone back to his job after recovery.

Arnold is a down-to-earth man with a tendency to worry. He's hyper-aware of all the mistakes that still need to be fixed in Jurassic Park, even after all this time. That way, he may come off as a bit of a pessimist, but he does still believe it can work out some day. He just doesn't consider it to be as easy as Hammond does.
He's a chain smoker and thanks to him the control room always smells like cigarettes.


Dr. Ian Malcolm
"Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming."
A mathematician specializing in the study of Chaos Theory. With opinions he isn’t afraid to share and one heck of a story to tell, Dr. Ian Malcolm isn’t a name foreign to the scientific community. A charismatic man who might be best described as a know-it-all, Malcolm is one of the original survivors of the first “incident” at Jurassic Park.

Since then Malcolm has made it his duty to let the world know just what kind of secrets John Hammond has lurking behind his operations. To most his claims have gone on deaf ears and earned him a reputation worthy of mockery, and the PSTD he developed from the trauma of his time on Isla Nublar only gave critics more ammunition to taunt him with.

Despite those things, he still feels strong a burden in knowing the truth, and a sense of responsibility makes the reason he’s back on the island for a second round simple and explicit: to expose it for what it really is.



Dr. Ava Winters
"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going."
Jurassic Park's head geneticist. Following in Dr. Henry Wu's legacy, Dr. Winters is everything you would expect of a typical scientist. Quiet, studious and fiercely determined, her outstanding work in the genetic field earned Hammond's attention early on in his search for those worthy enough to work at Jurassic Park. For several years she played a silent background role to operations until Dr. Wu's resignation. Despite her unassuming position Hammond was quick to promote her to Wu's former role.

Though Dr. Winters may seem to align herself with Hammond's goals, in truth she despises his lack of standards and penchant for shortcuts. If a true dinosaur purist ever existed it would be Winters, and she feels nothing but distaste for the so called scientific breakthrough known as Hammond's "dinosaurs". She is through and through a perfectionist who believes the scientific world deserves nothing short of true dinosaurs, not those tampered with by supplemented DNA.

Isla Sorna, she decided, was the place she would bring that dream to life.
