Hi guys. My name is David, called Electriclimefloppy because when I wondered about my DA nickname there really was a floppy-colored lime-electric before his eyes. Okay, just nonsense. I'm from Italy, precisely ffrom the province of Bari, Puglia. I'm currently studying Political Science at Bari University. I'm not exactly pro-technology (you know, technology is a double edged sword), but I'm in favor of scientific research. More than the technical aspects but I prefer to think of the human aspects. I like politics (and when you love her means that the you hate) and I like to think that every person has a story to tell. I'm a scout, and I support its values. I'm a hobbyst writer on DA, I've already written some short stories, some sci-fi and some not. I'm also a RPG master (Cyberpunk 2020 and Sine Requie) and I like a lot to build worlds. Ready to fulfill my task.

Hi, I'm Scott. Code name: Cloudbreaker (and no, the name has nothing to do with a sword from Final Fantasy or whatever. I just thought it sounded cool)
I'm originally from western Wisconsin, but moved to Hastings, MN this past year. I graduated from UW River Falls with a fine arts degree but haven't really gotten much use out of it yet. One of my favorite pastimes is inventing new characters, the universes they live in, and figuring out how to tell a unique and interesting story based off of those two things. What interests me most about Uprising are the species, the planets, and the potential for interesting characters. I am really looking forward to contributing to this project.

Hallo I'm Jakob. My internet persona is xj4966. Typically internet peeps call me XJ. I come from the glorious land of Texas. Can't say I've got an impressive arts degree and what not, but never the less I'm very interested in helping flesh out various plot n' lore aspects of the Uprising universe. I'd like to kinda sideline with other writers if possible and see what I can offer, but I'm also planning on posting separate snippets of ideas and concepts of my own that perhaps writers can incorporate in the universe if found good enough. Seeing as this is an open source universe I'm excited to see what I along with others will conjure up. My primary interest lie in videogaming, a load of reading, and paintball. Not a very expansive palette but it's better than nothing. Not into any specific genre of music. Just kinda pick up and play what I like. Le do this.

G'day all. I'm Aqi, Aqizithiuda on DA and Nationstates, and I hail form Australia. I'm a bit of a writer, occasionally dabble in drawing and enjoy reading and playing video games. I'm not currently studying at uni because I dropped out after being unable to handle the course load a double degree handled. I have far too many areas that I'm interested in to list, but I'm probably going to get involved with some of the manufacturing technology, weapons and armour technology, species development and planetary development.

I'm Ryan, called airborneleaf on most internet things, like DA. I'm from England, and I'm mainly a 2D artist of military hardware, like small arms, armoured vehicles and sometimes aircraft. I'm relatively new to world-building, and I have written several (unfinished) short stories. I'd prefer keeping 2D art as my primary function for the universe's development, so I'd like to be more involved in the concept art part of the team. That doesn't mean I wouldn't be comfortable with sharing ideas for any part of the universe if I ever get get them.
