The PK Hack community is full of some rather unique people who have worked hard to figure out just what makes the EarthBound ROM tick. These individuals who prove their worth as hackers are hailed as truly being l33t. You are about to meet those hackers. This page does not list all of those who are truly amazing... but once they see they're not up there, I figure they'll send me their info pretty quickly. :P

Status: Great Lord of all PK Hack

Tomato is the almighty one. The progenitor of the EB Hacking community, and co-webmaster of Starmen.Net. Without his tireless efforts and weekly miracles, we would not be where we are today. Bow your head, minion!

Spaanoft is a creature shrouded in mystery... well, not really, I just haven't managed to get his bio information yet. Yeah, I'm lazy... :P Spaan did the Windows interface for PK Hack.

Handle: Blue Antoid
Real Name: Jonathan Otis

Birthday: April 29, 1984

Status: Badgeholding Hacker, Forum Moderator

I am Blue Antoid, once a lowly n00b, but now moderator of the PK Hack forum and webmaster of this site. My accomplishments include my hack "JonBound: Dark Future," as well as a variety of neat discoveries. But enough about me.

Handle: Cromkayer
Real Name: Josh Kirkland

In his own words: "I'm not really a PK Hacker, but I did what I could. I like to dabble in as many things as I can get away with. I'm soft and loveable. I also like Cocoa Pebbles."
Crom proved his l33tness through the creation of a full-scale map of EarthBound, as stored in the ROM. If it was printed, it would be roughly 7 feet wide and 9 feet long!

GuyInSummers is another who has proved his l33tness through constant work and innovation in the PK Hack field. He is now Mailbag staffer at Starmen.Net. Go submit stuff to Mailbag! He and Blue Antoid started off as rivals, but they grew to respect each other's powa, and became great allies and friends. Much like Legolas and Gimli from The Lord Of The Rings - but if anybody asks, I'm the studly elf-dude, not the hairy dwarf. ;P

Handle: ROFISH
Real Name: Ryan Alyea
Location: Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Age: 38
Birthday: September 1, 1986

Status: Badgeholding Hacker

ROFISH has been with us for quite some time, lending his amazing brainmeats to the quest for controlling EarthBound. He was the evil mastermind behind the creation of the EarthBound battler hack. Fear his might.

Real Name: Michael Cayer... :|

Age: 36
Birthday: October 27, 1987

Status: Badgeholding Hacker

Mike has become more active in recent days than he was in the beginning. Almost single-handedly responsible for the charting of the present box event flags, Mike has since moved on to discover a great many things in the EarthBound ROM that few could even imagine. By the way, he's the head popping out of the present box on the PK Hack message board.

Handle: colondee/n42
Real Name: UNKNOWN

Birthday: C. EPOCH PRIORY MARBLE, CODE SEVEN

Status: CHOIR, SURVEIL, REFLOC

Background: [NOTE: This information is obsolete and presented for historical purposes only.]

Little is known about this man -- or men? Some haxologists claim that the individual commonly referred to as n42 is in fact only the public face of a forty-two member syndicate whose ultimate purpose remains a mystery. A few take this hypothesis a step further and posit a highly-advanced hivemind as the driving force behind n42.

Status: Badgeholding Hacker

In his own words: "I hate stupid people. I like pizza and girls. I'm a Computer Science major and an Archaeology minor."
That says a lot about the man we know as Frieza (or Zushiba). Wielding the might of Saget Man, Frieza has been with this community from the very beginning. Beyond EarthBound, he has lent his coolness to the creation of editors for various games such as Chrono Trigger, and is a founding member of Sexy Beam Translations.

Handle: Mr. Accident
Real Name: Tripurari Smith

Age: 39
Birthday: April 17, 1985

Status: Badgeholding Hacker

In his own words: "Mr. Accident is a semi-normal carbon-based life form residing in a rain-intensive corner of Washington state. Subsisting mostly on snack food and carbonated beverages, his primary interests include hacking, Windows programming, video games, and bizarre team sports such as "kick the duck". He enjoys the music of John Philip Sousa, the Beatles, and much of what was written before the decline of modern music. (See: 1970s) He is frequently referred to as "Hacker Extraordinaire", "PK Hack God", and other flagrantly immodest titles. Currently attends Skagit Valley Community College, majoring in computer science."
