Sprkly is the definitive girly grrl. She has a particular fondness for glitter, the color pink, and unicorns that poop rainbows and butterflies. She can usually be found near Tarryk (her cuppycake). She's a huge AO cheerleader and loves the game as well as the community, and is often logged in under one of several "sprkly" alts.
Sprkly hosts the Sprkle Party on Wednesdays from 1pm to 4pm EST, where you'll be treated to some of her most favorite electronica, mainstream pop and hiphop, and her crowd-pleasing regular show segments: "Sprkly's News Of The Weird", "Tip of the Day featuring Sprklyfix", "Silly Songs With Sprkly" and the popular "What Would a Unicorn Do?" Game Show where millions of credits are given away each week to one lucky winner! Be prepared for some seriously interactive fun and contagious happy when you attend a Sprkle Party. It's great for those days when you need some cheering up!
If you see Sprkly in game and are able, give her a good "sparkling" (use your sparkle nanos!). |

...and eventually DJ Wyldthing found him at a very young age wandering the dusty alleys of Newland City. He was not very kid like any more since he had to support his half-sister Gridbot most of his life. DJ Wyldthing took pity on them and took them under her wings. It wasn't until recently after they had both grown up to full citizens that they joined GridStream Productions as members on the 2nd of July in 29476. In the more recent years Gridfan says he has gotten some of the boyish fun back that he never had time for in the past.
He soon took on various tech tasks full time for GSP, including integrating Gridbot's neural interface into the GSP Mainframe system, allowing her to oversee and interact with all GSP communication systems directly with her mind. In the summer of 29477 Gridfan became a Radio Host and remained so for 2 years until 29479, when he returned back to tech tasks again full time.
Although nothing official has been announced, Gridfan has stated that he'd like to get back on the air again as a radio host, with his show The Lance Orbin Gridfeed.

Lan Tarryk Kozar ("Tarryk", "LTK", or just "tK") is a rather eccentric personality. As the founder and CEO of GridStream Productions, he runs the financial side of the organization, maintaining and monitoring the status of the stream servers and royalty networks, and tends to step in when the proverbial poop hits the propellor internally.
Tarryk heads up the program "LTK Static Array". The show is comprised mostly of contemporary hard rock and dance-techno, with splashes of american, european, and asian pop music. The genres he generally avoids are classic rock and lite rock. Also in the Static Array, Tarryk loves to offer humorous (and sometimes long) opinions on everyday events both in the world of Anarchy Online and in his own life, often referencing his experiences of the week to the relatable weirdness we all experience in some fashion, over in the Real World ("RK4").
On the personal side of things, Tarryk is notoriously Busy. On the constant quest to keep himself from ever achieving the mastery of any one skill or trait, he's always playing social butterfly in the day-to-day, working very long hours at his day-job as a broadcast radio traffic manager, while simultaneously engaged in several dozen personal projects, very few of which ever get comepletely finished due to an overloaded and unmedicated case of Attention Deficit Evolution (he's convinced it's not technically a disorder, just an inconvenient evolutionary mutation). One of his major projects is his musical composition, downloadable for free at his online album: http://www.acidplanet.com/lan_tarryk_kozar
He is married (in Real Life) to Sprklygrrl, and together they are continuously attempting to help make GridStream Productions more organized, efficient, and most of all FUN for both DJ's and listeners.
Concerning his public image, Tarryk believes that attempting to divert oneself away from trends and clicks is not the way to go in life. Rather, he makes the ultimate attempt (with limited success) to combine and embody all the popular and underground trends as a singular attitude and make it his own combination-persona. He continuously utilizes the attitudes and catch phrases of such clicks as suburban, redneck, emo, gangster, punker, nerd, goth, raver, geek, gamer, and more.
On the world of Rubi-Ka, tK tends to prop up the roleplaying element of the game-world, but rarely actually immerses himself in it. He considers himself sort of a sideline cheerleader for the RP community. Willing to fight for your right to RP, but often side-stepping the "role" part of his own playing. |

Born and raised by loving parents who ran a supply ship between the planets Destiny had a happy childhood filled with exploration and a love of the stars. She spent many hours listening to the grid feeds from the different planets fascinated by the vast differences in music from world one world to another. She especially liked the ambient musics because it reminded her of the vastness and peacefulness of being in space.
That all changed one tragic day when their ship was transporting cargo to Newland on the planet of Rubi-ka. As they were entering the atmosphere their main drive failed sending them crashing deep in the desert. Unable to find her parents in the wreckage and only mutilated bodies of those she did find Destiny waited for the rescue she was sure would come. After days of waiting and quickly running out of the food and water she was able to salvage she knew she had to leave or suffer the same fate as those she had berried days before. Hours became days as she walked across the endless desert, running out of food and water she could no longer tell how much time went by... just the endless walking. She knew if she stopped she would surely die there in that scorching plane of nothingness. She fell to her knees, no longer able to stand but pulling and grabbing at the weeds and caked earth trying to continue on with the little strength she had left. Her vision blurred, surrounding her with the wonderful peaceful darkness of the space which she loved, stars twinkling behind her closed eyes. She could swear she even heard the hum of the ship she had lived on for so long just before nothingness enveloped her in its wonderus embrace.
After weeks in a hospital recovering from the burns and severe dehydration of her time the desert she was told that she was free to go. She wondered the cities looking for any information on her parents' ship or indication that they may still be alive. Finding nothing she was crushed. While Destiny had spent her life on ships she had no practical skill with them after having spent most of it watching the stars and working on her musical skills. She was unable to find a freighter that was willing to take on someone unexperienced so the stars were lost to her. She was stranded on Rub-ka.
Then one day she discovered a group of people who shared her love of music and used their knowledge to bring it to the rest of the planet! She had once again found a home.
While her body had fully recovered from her time in the desert her mind never has. Some would say "she is not fully here". Destiny tends to speak of a life that was never her own. Talking about children she does not have and a place called "Washington DC"? Leaving those around her rather confused at times. Some say all the tragedy in her life has felt her a bit "Delusional". |

Race: Nanomage
Home City: Jobe
History:
Xtrophic was born in the city of Jobe, up in the plaza district in a wealthy family. As a child he grew very fond in fireworks and visual effects from having a great overview over the entierty of jobe. One of his uncles was an explorer, employed by the JOBE association, and Xtrophic used to take every chance he got to tag along his uncle on exploration expeditions. During this period as a child, both himself and the JOBE association began to see great potential in his neural network, something which allows him to control and command the nanobots that float around us. Taken into an JOBE academy he began to explore nano technology very closly and soon became very skilled in the science. Through his studies of the Great Masters, Izgimmer and Enfraam, he learned many ways to control the nanobots, most of which came out as weapons of mass destruction, which could inflict a great deal of damage. Xtrophic graduated top of his class from the JOBE academy with a masters degree in Nanotechnology.
After his graduation he took employment with the JOBE association, and spent many years exploring the world of Rubi-Ka, as well as the newly opened Shadowlands. He enjoyed the exploration a great deal, but after a while the loneliness grew strong and he began seeking other things, things that would make him a happier person. As he was out on a regular Rubi-Ka exploration he stumbled upon a place out in neutral territory from where he could faintly hear the sound of music. Drawn by the airwaves of these sounds he approached Reet''s Retreat and joined in to Party. This was his first contact which was to be known as GridStream Productions. After a few parties he realised this was what he wanted to do, and after a while he joined in among the growing ranks, to help and support the craziness :)

Andy lived for a while running around the whole Rubi-Ka political scene, naturally after a while he grew tired of the political strife and just couldn't care about it anymore. After a while he accidentally bumped into Grid Stream and decided to settle down sharing his love for music with the community. |

There's nothing more Beardedgoose likes more than to kick back to some banging beats, if the musics bass heavy or funky then he's all over it like an Atrox on cake. If you want to music to get you dancing then Beardedgoose is your DJ! Also has a tendency to poledance... |

Ickk likes to live in the past and likes his music from that era. Since Rubi-Ka has no asylums the doctors had to put him somewhere. Where better than Gridstream Productions? Around all the other crazies he has seem to find a home. Lets hope he don't escape from here! |

The "Kriegshammer" Ham
Member | Level 82 Meta-Physicist | Contact Kriegshammer
|
| |
 |
|
Ham's earliest memory is of him standing in some backyard in West Athen, holding an old hammer and hitting the remains of a Junkbot. When the hammer broke and there was still some Junkbot left, he got angry. Very angry. So angry his fury manifested as a floating ball of hatred which started attacking the Junkbot until nothing was left of it but scraps.
Ham always liked playing with and hitting metal as a child so it seemed like destiny that he almost only listens to metal, too. And when he gets angry his furious friend, the ball of hate comes to help him trash stuff.
One day he ran into a GSP party which he mistook for an Anger Management seminar. From that day on he knew he'd be on air one day, playing his favourite metal to all Rubi-Ka and wielding a big bad metal hammer.
And so it came to be. Now Kriegshammer a.k.a. Ham opens the War-Forge regularly to unite what destiny had put into his child hands many years ago: metal and a hammer. |

Phaeton "Phaetonix" Darkmoon
Member | Level 61 Keeper | Contact Phaetonix
|

 |
|
Name: Phaeton Darkmoon
Breed: Homo Solitus Male
Profession: Keeper/Doctor/Data Jockey
Hometown: unknown, offworld.
Bio: Originally a knight from another world, Phaetonix, frequently shortened to Phaeton or just Phae, crash landed in Newland Desert in what was supposed to be a routine trip to his homeworld from a neighbouring system. Trashed, lost, and strungout, he met the wandering desert urchin and mechanic Rose Darkmoon, who built for him the tools he needed to survive out of salvaged robots and alien ships. He couldn't leave the planet due to the massing Kyr'Ozch armada in Rubi-Kan space, so he took it upon himself to once again take up arms, enhance his martial skills, and learn he ways of this new planet. He and Rose then took eachother in as siblings, and shared many adventures together.
Eventually his twisted appreciation for all things loud and angry led him to the music genre known as metal. His desire to make others happy, and his quest to find a home here with people as bizarre as himself led him to his new family: GridStream Productions. You can hear him now gridcasting tunes that you could kill something too, which suits him perfectly, as he's rather ticked off with a certain alien menace at the moment. Always in armor, Always with a sword, ready for war yet neutral in the Rubi-Kan conflict, he welcomes those of all factions to mosh with him as he casts his tunes every Friday night, 7 to 10pm Eastern.
Something else in his records indicate he rather enjoys the twangy country music he was introduced to in the harsh desert. He wouldn't play country music now.. would he? |

"Screaminlord"
Member | Level 17 Agent | Contact Screaminlord

 |
|
During his younger years, Screaminlord was part of the developing music scene in some of the backwater nightclubs across Rubi-Ka. Having always been a fan of dance music, his style has evolved from the mainstream generic and into the Hi-NRG and Hardcore genres and he'd often broadcast his shows over a pirate radio frequency. After being arrested, charged and serving his time for illegal usage of communications technology (broadcasting Hellfish through Omni-1's internal comm relay), he reprioritised his vision, knowing he could spread more word about dance music through legal means. Today Screaminlord has been seen frequently across rubi-ka, usually followed by the hard, wet, pounding basslines of his music. |

Shigy as a child when told all the different options for a proffesion on rubi ka asked so what cool tricks can they do? He became a MP simply becuase they can fly. He now hosts a radio show on Gridstream Productions.
He can butcher a name in under 5 seconds flat. He can leap tall atroxes in a single bound. Faster than a snared heckler. |

"Synnthetik"

|

Synnthetik was a lost soul wandering through the darkest pits of despair (and ToTW) when he first crossed paths with Natasha Miiir. Natasha trained him as best she could but relentlessly stabbing things was not how he envisioned his survival, he did however, join her family in the neutral-Omni organization known as The Society of Salvation. Synnthetik fought bravely alongside his brethren but soon grew weary of the endless pursuit of fame and fortune beating up on oversized piles of rock on the Shadowland shores. It was during this time that he began taking up refuge in several Rubi-Kan bars, most notably Mack's Beer & Booze and Reets' Retreat, where he spent his time socializing with the less aggressive side of life at parties hosted by Gridstream Productions. Feeling a need for more responsibility and with the disappearance of many colleagues, he decided to leave the servitude of Omni-Tek and join those who brought music and happiness to Rubi-Ka.
As a member in his newly joined organization, Gridstream Productions, he found a new family that would embrace him and welcome his taste in music to share with those on every side of the planet's ongoing conflict. Whether Omni or Clan, sinner or saint, Wednesday evening became a time to put all differences aside to groove to the music and enjoy one another's company in the face of adversity. |

The "Dynamiks" Experience
Applicant | Level 220 Fixer | Contact Dynamiks
|
| |
 |
|
Dynamiks was born during a rare, ill-fated mission to the dark side of Rubi-Ka. He alarmed his legal guardians, spending the first ten years of his life communicating only in a complex rhythmic logarithm of his own devising. Although in his teens he rapidly developed into a most eloquent speaker, he never lost the vocal twang imposed by his bizarre linguistic origins. Dynamics is known to only need 2 hours sleep a day, to beat-match with inhuman accuracy, and to occasionally hallucinate giant bouncing rollerats.
The resulting mish mash of House/Dance/Trance music comes together once per week on Friday evenings and goes to air on GSP as "The Field of Dreams". Dynamiks can also be heard occaisionally proving that he is definitely a few kangaroos short in the top paddock at his random "Club Troppo" shows, where he delves into the retro files of 70's to 90's 'cheese' music in a pot pourri of classic hits and strange earthly memories....
