The '''OpAphid ARG''' (commonly referred to as just '''OpAphid''') was once the official [[Alternate Reality Game]] of [[lonelygirl15]]. It started as the solo project of [[Glenn Rubenstein]]. When [[the Creators]] saw how much talent Glenn had, they hired him as a part of the lonelygirl15 crew and OpAphid became [[canon]].

The OpAphid ARG featured [[OpAphid puzzles|puzzles]], [[OpAphid drops|drops]], [[Category:OpAphid videos|videos]], and regular [[YouTube]] profile updates. Later, after Glenn and lonelygirl15 parted ways, the OpAphid ARG became a part of the backstory of Glenn's new project, [[Redearth88]].

On August 26th, 2009, a post on [[Inside LG15]] announced that the OpAphid ARG was once again part of the [[LG15 Franchise]], and that OpAphid audiovisuals would be provided to the winner of the second season of [[LG15: The Show Is Yours]]. It was also announced that Glenn would be back on crew, at least for the judging of the next season of TSIY.

==Cast of characters==
*'''[[Mari Devincenzi]]''' as '''[[OpAphid]]''', the codename of an agressive and mysterious [[the Order|Order]] operative who runs her own division, named [[OpAPHID|Operation APHID]]. She's not afraid to use harmful tactics to get what she wants.
*'''Unknown Actress''' as '''[[Tachyon]]''', the codename of OpAphid's main enemy, a sly [[the Resistance|Resistance]] operative who knows what buttons to press to anger OpAphid and the Order. She's helped out [[TAAG]] several times.
*'''[[Glenn Rubenstein]]''' as '''[[Brother]]''', the codename of Tachyon's so-called "partner in justice." He's also gone undercover as 10033 and Sebastian, and once had a fling with [[Gemma]] in order to find out more about OpAphid.
*'''Unknown Actor''' as '''[[War Pylol]]''', an Operation APHID agent who isn't afraid to use violence for the Order. He's been sent to capture many a [[trait positive]], but needs to watch what he's doing.
*'''Unknown Actress''' as '''[[Cassie]]''', a mysterious friend from [[Bree|Bree Avery]]'s past. A lot of OpAphid's videos and messages have dealt with her, and the whole story behind Cassie is still shrowded in mystery.
*'''[[Jessica Lee Rose]]''' as '''[[Bree|Bree Avery]]''', a bubbly teenage girl whose trait positive blood makes her the target of a dangerous cult called the Order. She gained a large following on YouTube due to her quirky video blogs. 
*'''[[Yousef Abu-Taleb]]''' as '''[[Daniel]]''', Bree's best friend who only wishes to protect her, but is often distracted by romantic engagements. He can often jump to conclusions, and battles with an alcohol addition along with his parents.
*'''[[Jackie Jandrell]]''' as '''[[Gemma]]''', a friend-turned-foe of Bree's who grew up in the [[Hymn of One]] with her. When she started making videos, Tachyon revealed that Gemma was working for OpAphid. Later, Brother killed Gemma.
