Editing Briano

One of the members of the Sprite Wars forum. He usually asks other members for help in making uniqe or custom sprites, mostly because of many failed attempts trying to make his own (he did customize three sprites and edited another, but all three were simple and he feels that with practice he can move up in experience). His army is the [[Liberators Army]], an army whose units are two-toned orange. He makes comics mostly for the Western Campaign, but began to work his way into the East slowly, and has plans for the Northern Campaign. He's now also become a regular in the Grand Campaign.

In the Sprite Wars world, he is a Captain of the Liberators Army.

Currently, he's beginning to work in a new species of alien in the Sprite Wars. It is a custom race of his own design, named the Sarath.

Despite his average style of making his army, most of them being recolors (some users noted that his armys two tone Orange color scheme looked flat and 2D, while others claiming it was nostalgic of the old sprite wars) he is surprisingly skilled at making custom weapons when hes in the mood, which surprises him at times. And his first original sprite, the new CO: Kasumi Asaki, is a milestone of his artistic abilities (And he's really proud of his latest CO).

His second custom character was introduced in the West Campaign: Maria Rowena Angelique, based off a Mecha Musume he found on the internet, personifying the British Spitfire Fighter from WW2. Briano has become a fan of the genre, after watching a few episodes of a new anime called  Strike Witches, based on magical girls who were child soldiers in an alternate history dating in the 1940's when WW2 would have broken out, but where inter dimensional invaders changed everything. This has resulted in a few people desiring to make their own Mecha musume. 

Briano has plans for another custom character, also to be a Mecha Musume. All that he's willing to reveal is that it will be based on a type of tank, also from the WW2 era.

==History==
He joined May 31st 2006 on the original forum and months later, after being caught up in the stories told, started work on his own army in between classes in high school. He often colored each sprite pixel by pixel with the fill tool (before discovering the joy and easy work of pallet swap tools from neopaint, paintshop and Gamemaker, which, after looking back on his life, resulted in a face palm moment years later)and soon joined late in the Season 4 Western Campaign, soon becoming a regular in the west. He attempted to give a shot in the East, but the idea fell true after one comic. After a few stories told in the West, he soon started to become a regular in the Grand Campaign, usually bouncing to one when the other is on hiatus or finished for the season. His eight years of being in air cadets has also given him an intimate and extensive knowledge of the military, also being a war film buff has helped to complement his storytelling skills, to create depth in his comics and provide some accuracy to the military theme and enviroment. As of April 2009, he has also been taking part in Biohazzard Chronicles, being run by Kalash69, and takes part in it because of his love of  Resident Evil 4 and 5, and a fan of the zombie genre in general.

== Other Information ==
He is an artist (both drawing and creating comics for sprite wars) and enjoys writing story's and poems, considering these his creative outlet and a way to express his thoughts, feelings and philosophical point of view. He often reflects about life (both his own and of those in the world around him). He likes Sharks (believing in conservation of the earth and the life that inhabit it) and enjoys paintball (its the only sport that he enjoys participating in). He loves music, often listening to Hip-hop, electronic, dance/club, nu metal and several other genres. He likes listening to Linkin Park, Emenem, Limp Bizkit, Greenday and a few other artists. He owns a Ludwig drum set and is a skilled drummer. Although baptized a christian, he isn't religious,but is very spiritual, preferring to spend the odd weekend out in the woods to meditate, reflect and relax. He believes that everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs but believes that those beliefs should not be forced on others.
He is allergic to Peanuts and Shellfish, and is descended from a long line of Italians.

== Comic and storytelling style ==
When he first started telling the story of the Liberators Army, he focused heavily on the CO's of his army, introducing them early and solidifying their place in the Sprite Wars universe, despite the characters and the army in general being a "flea from out of nowhere" late in Season 4. Having anticipated that, Briano briefly mentioned in a few of his comics that the army was a small and obscure one until the point in which the World Eaters were attempting to summon the dark god into the physical world. The comics used square speech balloons in its earlier seasons, but after a while, Briano found them cluttering his panals and obscuring the action. After such paradigm, he emulated members like Storm and MikeRuger, who placed their text below the panal in question, which he is content with. In later comics, he found him self focusing too much on both his alternate sprite counterpart and Vivian, and attempted to shift the focus to the other CO's. And from the beginning, Briano also payed attention to the Liberator Soldiers themselves, something that only a few of the other members bothered to do. Briano remembered that every individual solider was their own person, not simply a nameless, faceless, generic grunt. He made sure to try and show that those  infantryman had a life, a family, and every other human quality just like his  CO's had. His more recent comics seem to portray this a lot better then his older ones, but at least the old one were trying.

== Future Plans and Upcoming Projects ==
Briano's current plans are to delve deeper into the history of his CO's and the army itself, starting with Captain Briano and Vivian. His current plan to do so will be in the form of a Web Comic series to be called "Liberators: Origins". The series release was to begin at a determined time, that was at the time unknown.

Briano officially begun the Liberators: Origins Comic series on December 9th 2009

Another plan on the drawing board will be a zombie genre type Web Comic series dubbed "The Z War". Other then the name, not much is known about it.
