3kul
3kul, also known as Luke, has been a member of the Blackstar Dojo since the day after the day it was created. As of the 24th of November, 2005, 3kul has been a member of the Evil Council, though he'd hadn't too much experience in roleplaying prior to that. In 2007 3kul managed to secure himself a position as one of the four Council Elite, and on the 20th of June 2007 3kul became the Second-in-Command of the Evil Council.
3kul was moderator of The Archives section of the forum for a time (30 Aug 2006 - late 2006/early 2007), but he eventually gave that up in favour of his other duties to the Dojo. Said duties were from his position as the Sensei of the Mantis style (a position which he's held since 19th Oct 2006), one of the seven Sensei chosen to moderate the belt system, which 3kul himself helped to develop.
More personal achievements include 3kul winning the 2006 RPer Arpie, an award given out annually in Blackstar for the best roleplayer of the year, as well as the 2006 Item Arpie, a similar award given out to those have created the best item in the Blackstar Marketplace. He also holds the 'Master Torturer' rank in Blackstar's Challenge Arena, an award given to the person with the most give-up wins to their name, although considering that his winning streak is only one (making him the only person in Blackstar to have a give-up win) he's probably not going to have it for very long.
A Short History
• MDude's Creatures RP 3kul's first RP, RPed as Grah-Et, the Grettin - this RP was left unfinished.
• The Cloister of Trials 3kul's first time RPing as HollowEyes, who went on to become his preferred RP Character.
• Forum Wars 360 RPing as HollowEyes once again, HollowEyes' charms are first seen being used here.
• Dungeons for Dummies The most successful thread that 3kul has ever made. What was originally intended as a simple training thread to counter the recent trend in powerplaying amongst Gameware RPers ended up with 569 posts (57 pages) before it died off due to lack of interest.
• Tremors across the Dojo - Volcanic Escape The most successful thread that 3kul has made on Blackstar, and from October 2006 it was decided that there would be an RP medal for it (meaning that anybody who made more than ten posts in this RP thread receives a special medal for it). Unlike the Dungeons for Dummies thread, this one has a specific aim and storyline - the Jaws of Despair have somehow escaped their prison in the charm used by HollowEyes and secretly hid five generators across the Dojo. Their aim: to warp the entire world of Blackstar to the Parasitian Homeworld, where the inhabitants of the planet would certainly fall prey to the Parasitians who lived there. All the Dojodians have to do is find and shut down the generators, but there's a time limit of seven days for them to do so (3kul controls this). This RP was started on the 10th of October and ultimately never came to an end due to lack of interest. 3kul considers that the thread would have ended with the Dojodians defeating the four Jaws of Despair Parasitians, and this resulted in the loss of HollowEyes' unique weapon (even though it never actually happened).
• Cave Slickers: The Legend of Holly-Eyes' Gold! 3kul's latest RP thread, one that was designed to restore a bit of interest in Blackstar and the Corrupted Cave section of the forums. 3kul considers it to be an RP that has the potential to be both serious and silly at the same time, a combination that he hopes will prove successful. The driving force behind it is a silly story (that HollowEyes has hidden a massive fortune somewhere in the Cave, and will give it to whoever manages to find it), but the underlying story is a serious development (for some reason, HollowEyes has disappeared and has remained hidden for several months, leaving behind only a message to warn everybody not to look for him). This thread should see some major character development for HollowEyes and some of 3kul's other characters, and if it gets popular enough, it should bring about some interesting changes to the Evil Council and Blackstar as a whole (in terms of story, as 3kul isn't capable of making any actual changes on his own).
(Will add more to this later)
Although he has quite a few characters, 3kul generally prefers to RP as HollowEyes and Little Sister.
