Biography

Due to him being a Legend and not a myth, he does not have a traditional story. The rumors about him revolve around 1x1x1x1 being a hacker group which many known community members were hypothesized to be part of. The reason for him being a member of this hacker group is due to him being a fairly well-known respected user of the community and due to him being terminated for reasons which were not confirmed until years later. He was friends with Minish and Dignity, two other users who became Legends.

Although he's not explicitly mentioned in any 'canon' Noli lore besides an unaffiliated game unlike Dignity, his only notable connection is through the Void Star and the fact he was terminated during old Roblox.^[2] The same can be said about the 2012 April Fools Incident, with the hijacker putting Zuka's name on Roblox's banners.^[3]

History

Zuka first joined Roblox as 'Zyuka' in 2007. He would later be terminated in September/October 2007 for spamming and return as Zuka in early 2008.^[4][5][6] He would use NVI actively in 2009.^[7] Two of his accounts would own The Void Star with Zuka's being bought from the marketplace.^{[citation needed][8]}

As Zuka, he'd make several games during his time and was even friends with John Shedletsky, a former administrator at Roblox, as well as Minish, another talented builder and well-known community figure at the time. He was known for being "ahead of his time" due to his scripting abilities as well as his building style. As time went on though he began to get a reputation for being toxic. Arguments seemed to spring up from him on the forums and it's rumored these repeated arguments as well as other incidents were what lead to his termination. When his account was banned rumors began circulating regarding his involvement in the hacker group 1x1x1x1, among other legends that said he was connected to Noli. According to his game 'Zuka's House', he was friends with Minish and possibly even had a relationship with her.^[9]

Between August 2009 and 2011, rumors spread through the Roblox forums due to VonSon's Roblox about section claiming the members of 1x1x1x1 were DeoVolente, Dignity, VonSon and Zuka.^{[10][11][12][13]} Others on the forums would suspect Nate2800, Noli and xSCENEx as having possible involvement.^[14][5] Because of this, it's to be assumed with everything else, that Zuka was not part of 1x1x1x1 nor connected to Noli. Both VonSon and DeoVolente were hijacked in 2023.

In 2011, he'd return with another account with his famous avatar to post under forums and answer private messages. The username would be set to request5924523485721 after its termination.^{[citation needed]} Another terminated (and/or hacked) account with the Void Star, Huntspire39, might've belonged to him, though evidence suggests it was a troll.^{[citation needed][15][16][17][18]} After being banned, he'd settle with a girlfriend he started dating years prior in 2015, and came back to Roblox as 0xBAADF00D. Through this account and being a moderator, Zuka would explain his history on Roblox. He proved the authenticity of this claim by logging into two of Zuka's alternate accounts, NVI and A2D8.^[19] According to 0xBAADF00D's forum posts, he said the reason for keeping the identity under wraps was due to the "cult-like" groups and mysteries that were made on him.

Shedletsky made references to Zuka on his Twitter in 2017, stating "Zuka would like this. I hope he sees it."^[20] Later, a shirt with the name "Voidstar" was found to be published by Roblox, with the same description the tweet had.^[21] Maelstronomer would also reply to 0xBAADF00D at times. At some point between 2017 and 2021, he quit his Roblox internship and started using the account 'mr_smellyman', where he actively updates a game of his.^[22]

Sometime in July 2024, Zuka's username was reset through an EULA exploit, similarly to Pheedy. This also caused his account to be fully terminated, whereas before it was glitched.

Appearance

Zuka wears "The Void Star" hat on his head, while having a bright yellowish head and an all black body. Due to a 2017 Roblox update, he has default clothing on.

Personality and Traits

Zuka was rather helpful with many people that were having scripting/building problems, he'd sometimes give them his scripts so it would help them with their scripting issue.
