'''Destructiox''' is some guy that did some stuff once. Also, he originally wanted to create some super-awesome zomgwtf sonic hack. After realizing what a super-awesome zomgwtf hack entailed by the way of skill, he started a small hack project wherein to learn the basics of split assembly hacking. Nowadays, he settles with his speciality (and by speciality, he means one of the few things he doesn't suck at) of boss editing. Progressing up a slow learning curve, his pondering questions are patiently answered by the 1337 hax0rs of [[SÆGA]], a group of hackers he considers good friends, (and proud to be a lowly onlooker amongst them,) and also mostly by his mentor, [[Malevolence]].

Currently does have a 'main' hack project ([[Sonic 1 Lunacy]]), as well as numerous side projects, however not many he has intentions of releasing anytime soon. Asking for betas will most likely end up unanswered. Currently his main hack consists of a three-tier difficulty mode, with dynamic level layouts for each difficulty, dynamic bosses for each difficulty, new monitors, some crappy art drawn by himself, and some awesome art donated by [[MarkeyJester]]. And of course, obligatory spindash. His side projects mostly consist of seperate Boss Edits, most notable of them being his Danmaku Boss.

<forumuser name="Destructiox" /> Destructiox is a Hacker and and member of the Sonic Scene who lives in the UK. He came across the Hacking Scene when his brother started linking him to YouTube videos of the cut levels from Sonic 2, and he began digging deeper until he dug through into Sonic retro. When he first entered the scene he quickly met with Soselocke, and together they planned Sonic 1 Handicapped, a hack which intended to parody the general Sonic formula, by replacing all text in the game with braille and placing sonic in a wheelchair. It was eventually discontinued.

Shortly after this, Destructiox started a small hack project wherein to learn the basics of split assembly hacking, which he kept improving as opposed to using as a sandbox, and this eventually snowballed into Sonic 1 Lunacy. Progressing up a slow learning curve, his pondering questions are patiently answered by SÆGA, a group of hackers he considers good friends, (and proud to be a lowly onlooker amongst them,) and also by his (arguable) mentors, Malevolence and MarkeyJester.


Other hacking interests include Shining Force II, actively beta testing 'The Caravan', a Shining Force II ROM editing program created by BigNailCow. While Beta Testing, he created minor hack projects such as Shining force 1.5, wherein he ported Shining Force Bosses (with the assistance of Lord_Oddeye) and menu art from the original to the sequel.


Outside of Hacking, other hobbies include Touhou and StepMania, alongside MMORPG's. Sonic 1 Lunacy's inspiration mostly stems from Touhou (Many menu and difficulty names, and a few zones are named from Touhou) as well as being the sole inspiration towards his Danmaku Boss.


He's also amazed he's been in the Sonic scene two years already. He's got an IRC Channel, but it's mostly for the development of Sonic 1 Lunacy, and thus is somewhat private. If you find it, don't expect to stay long unless he wants you there. Don't expect him to hand out any betas. Asking gets a ban. You ain't coming back.
