Good day. Given your expressed intent on writing here, given the creation of a page on a civilization, I believe some introductions and a short overview is in order.

My name is Nra 'Vadumee, as you can see. Admin, co-founder, major author and Resident Expert on Science and Technology, or REST. I am the creator of the Karnasaurs, and as a major author, I am one of the four people who write the major story arcs, the current major arc being the Dark Prophecy arc. As REST, I give advice and answer questions pertaining to technologies and scientific concepts. As such, should an idea for a new tech dawn on you, pray run it by me so I can give it REST approval. One thing we'll nail into your head is that we are an original narrative writing wiki, and we aim for professionalism in our writing, and thus have decently leveled standards for our writing; One of which is realism to allow suspension of disbelief. More on the standards later.

There are a few other major users; SupcommMonroee shares the same titles as me, and is creator of the Eteno. He also serves as Resident Expert on Warfare and Weaponry, and will assist you in developing not only the guns and vehicles of your civ, but also its military doctrine (questions pertaining to space combat, however, would be more wisely directed me; It's my auxiliary domain).

Then there's Krayfish, who not only is our technician, handling the coding, categorizing and knitty-gritty parts of the wiki, but also shares the same titles as I and created the Dhragolon. As Resident Expert on Culture and Development, he'll be the one you should ask about developing your civ; History, culture, etc. Questions on character development, however, can be directed to any of the admins.

Now, on to the more lecture-like part of the welcoming. Omniverse is a unique wiki in the way that it's not fanfic; It's an original, creative narrative writing wiki. This means we are given carte blanche to write what we please, how we please, when we please. However, we do enforce some standards. For the most part, we ask for one thing: Professionalism. We try to maintain an air of professionalism here, and that encompasses a lot of stuff. Mainly, we look for decent writing, good grammar and spelling (You don't have to be a Grammar Nazi, it just has to be decent), openness to constructive criticism, willingness to behave and act professionally, and collaborating with fellow writers to keep your writing in canon (not especially important, so don't worry for now). As a final note, I have noticed your Dradic Alliance page. Like I said, we're original. That gives us a lot of freedom, but we also cannot use copyrighted materials. Awesome as Portal is, Aperture Science is a copyrighted name, and so too is its logo. You'll have to find something else for a flag.

Happy editing!
