Overview
SLiK is someone whom you come across once, maybe twice in a lifetime. He is an idealist and holds several rules of self-conduct. On the ASMB, he has very few alts to speak of for he doesn't see the point in having one other than the off chance that he might get banned. He hates spoilers with a passion will urge others to not reveal them. If he spots excessive off-topic activity going on, he'll immediately turn the conversation around. Probably the worst aspect of SLiK is his persistence, which sometimes turns into pure stubborness. He is one to realize his faults and has no problems telling others of them. He has made many friends and several enemies along his journey and still continues his endeavors to keep AD.... well... AD.
He is often found posting in Action Discussion's What are you Listening to? theads, where whenever he posts a song that he is listening to, he will post it in the most proper format possible where it's:
[Song Title] - [Artist/Band]: [Album/Single Name]
He does this all the time so that if someone was curious what album the song came from, he would already have it all there.
Note: this format of his is copyrighted..... yeah.
SLiK is quite skilled at the art of filter dodging. His knowlege of many alt-codes has allowed him much verbal freedom. He is aware that this technique is forbidden in the boards, so he sparingly uses them.
SLiK belongs to several fan clubs on AD:
- BLEACH Fan Club
- Yoruichi Fan Club
- Hitsugaya Fan Club
- Samurai Champloo Fan Club
- Jin Fan Club
- Villetta Nu Fan Club
Origins
In the search for a decent username, an unknown 17-year old found himself frustrated. One day while looking at various pics of cars from Mercedes-Benz, he immediately fell for one of Benz's convertibles, an SLK 230. From then on, he could not keep his mind off such a car for it was a convertible with a folding hard top (which was uncommon at the time). Suddenly, the boy had ended his search for a decent user name. By simply sticking an 'i' in SLK, adding the chassis code for the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, and the word 'the', he created the username, theSLiKZ16A. His accompanying avatar was that of The Big O itself. He went on to his first forum, an arcade forum about a local mall that he went to and started his online life. Soon enough, there came one member who attempted to quote him saying, "someone with 'SLiK' in his name". Realizing the length of his username might become an issue, theSLiKZ16A shortened his name to ' SLiK '.
Time passed, and SLiK soon found himself hanging around in other forums. He came across an Initial D site and used his newly acquired username and joined another online community. There, he used those forums to educate himself on online life. He learned of signature making, bbcode, quoting, flaming, trolling, and the like.
Because it was an Initial D forum, SLiK thought it would be appropriate to use an avatar related to the series. He chose the ridiculously talented Bunta Fujiwara as his avatar. For his signature, he tapped into the power of PhotoShop and created a signature using a Toyota Celica GT-Four.
It would only be a matter of time until 2004 when Shinichiro Watanabe unveiled Samurai Champloo to the world. SLiK was intrigued at the prospect of another anchronistic anime. After watching it, he found Jin to be his favorite character as he easily matched his personality. From then on, Jin became SLiK's standard avatar and created a matching signature to boot. Because SLiK enjoys the cold so much (despite being a Pacific Islander) he chose to use an avatar of Jin in winter wear. This has become his forum standard. In the [as] forums, he has chosen a Jin avatar wearing a straw hat instead for reasons unknown.
Upon becoming a member of the [as]mb, when SLiK attempted to register under his usual username, he immediately became shut down as someone stole his name. SLiK was left one alternative: taking a part of his myspace profile's URL and making it his username. And so, this was how SLiK became theSLiKbandit to the other users of the [as]mb.
Interests
Snowboarding
SLiK likes to snowboard as often as he possibly can during the winter. His place of choice is Mountain Creek, located in Vernon, NJ.
In 2009, SLiK has gone snowboarding out-of-state. He went to Camelback Mountain in PA after a couple of years of inactivity.
Sleeping
Like many of the ASMB, SLiK is quite the avid sleeper. It was once said that he slept for 14 hours, translating into 2:00 in the afternoon. He feels greatly dissapointed in himself whenever he remembers that moment, for he felt he had completely and utterly ruined his day.
Recently, SLiK discovered he could sleep for ridiculously small amounts of time. After FIND Confrence in 2007, he woke up at 8:00 in the morning when he had only slept four hours ago.
Music
The way SLiK approached music was strange in a way, for he grew up in a filipino family. Thus he was surrounded in music yet found it to be a phenomenon that he could not comprehend for many years.
Start
L'Arc~en~Ciel and J-Rock
It began in 2005, when Fullmetal Alchemist appeared on [as]. SLiK caught the second episode (he missed the first apparently), and when he started watching, he became witness to something life changing. This song that he knew only as READY STEADY GO was etched into his mind, and so his curiousity bound him to look up that song. It was a little while longer when SLiK discovered L'Arc~en~Ciel and was welcomed into the world of J-Rock.
As time passed, SLiK found himself getting more and more J-Rock songs. First it started with finding whatever decent J-Rock bands SLiK could find by watching anime. It was until he started going to NJIT that he came across more J-Rock bands, like ELLEGARDEN. To this day, J-Rock comprises the majority of SLiK's music. He continues to search for more of it, through whatever means possible.
Samurai Champloo and Underground Hip-Hop
Initial D and Eurobeat
Back in the day, 2002, SLiK was at his local mall when he decided to go to the mall's arcade. He planned on going inside, use $5, play Soul Calibur II, and then leave. That day proved different as he decided to play something else, something other than fighting games for once in his life. SLiK happened to see several racing games before him, but most of them were either too old or not to his liking, i.e. IndyCar and NASCAR. Lo and behold, he found one racing game of interest, Initial D Arcade Stage ver.2. Upon playing the game for the first time, his ears chanced upon hearing Space Boy by Dave Rodgers. He asked himself, "What was this wonderous music?" and "Why is it that it goes so well with the game?". The music lacked the overuse of the synthesizer yet somehow remained upbeat and addicting. It was then that SLiK discovered eurobeat. Afterwards, SLiK began his search for eurobeat. It is said that he continues to search for eurobeat to this very day.
SLiK and the Second Annual AD Themes Elimination
When SLiK laid his eyes on this alluring contest, he knew deep in his heart what song he would be voting for. As such, D-tecnolife was his song of choice. He chose this song because for once in his life, he would like to see the "new guy" win at something. For countless days and nights, SLiK alone voted for D-tecnolife while trying to fend off the likes of the Gravity crew, led by PenguinBoss and Armandru.
At one point in the contest, SLiK was at a low point as far as his well being was concerned. All he thought was that Gravity would flat out win due to its early lead. It was just him, versus PenguinBoss and Armandru(henceforth known as Dillo). It was mere chance when others decided to aid SLiK in guiding D-tecnolife towards victory. Thus, the group known as D-tecnoSupport was formed. Regulars like FalchBurns and jakobetheliar12 were eager to lend their arms in the fight. It was then, at around 9:05 on the 26th of April, post number 6230, reply 7188, when SLiK shouted, "æ¢ã��ã��!!" at Gravity.
At this moment, D-tecnoSupport is at last in its final stages of the contest. The REWRITE ops are their last barrier before crossing into the promised land of victory. It would appear that D-tecnolife has the upper hand, but just like what happened to Gravity, anything can happen... even in the last moments.
SLiK and Icon Theme Day
For a while now, SLiK alters his sig to match his icon every Icon Theme day. It first began with Couple's Day when he and Cille were to be Mugen and Rodriguez. So for that day, he changed his sig crimson red and added an infinity symbol in the middle. In the top left corner of his sig, he added a short quote that would fit his icon/sig combo.
