HawkbitAlpha (formerly ACSBehemothHellcat and Prince Darkstar) is an SBC member who originally joined the community in May 2011, but was permabanned from the site for much of the 2010s until his surprise return in 2018. Today, he remains as an active Loyal Customer. He is also a former member and chat moderator of SpongeBuddy Mania.
Having initially discovered SBC at 11 years old, Hawk's arrival on the site was marked by his immaturity and willingness to constantly argue with other members, which led to him being banned in July 2011 after being a member for only two months. Later, in October 2012, he was allowed to return, but was banned again in April 2013 for the same reasons; from here, he moved to SpongeBuddy Mania, where he remained as an active member until 2018. While contentious users are nothing new to the community, Hawk was one of the most notorious in earlier SBC history, as he was (especially during his first ban) very vocal about his contempt for the site while staying on SBM. This reputation made him a popular choice of villain in numerous SBC Lits between 2011 and 2015.
Hawk's aggressive and increasingly cynical attitude made him a divisive figure in SBC/SBM's shared history throughout the years; in his late teen years, this aspect would come to overshadow his previous history on SBC, reaching a peak during his time as the founder and original owner of SBM's Discord. On top of his long-standing detachment from SpongeBob as a whole, his hardline stances against "shitposts", memes, and low-level trolls firmly split members' opinions of him down the middle. On the other hand, Hawk gained some respect as owner of the SBM Discord, and for using his position as a semi-official staff member to push SBM's admins into banning very disliked members from the site. Eventually, Hawk's actions on SBM allowed him to be unbanned from SBC for the final time in March 2018, and two months later, he resigned as owner of the SBM Discord on his own terms. Toward the end of the year, he became one of the many cross-site members to be banned from the latter site for protesting against its staff in the wake of the Third SBC Renaissance (prior to this ban, he renamed his SBM account to Mavaxis Starburner).
Starting in late 2018, Hawk, an amateur debater and political sciences student, became most well-known among both older and newer members of SBC alike for re-popularizing politics discussions on the site, with his promotions of libertarian leftist ideas being cited by several SBC members as a strong influence on their own views. Along with this, he's known for such antics as livestreaming plays of Portal 2 co-op with frenemy The DS Guy, and more notably, becoming a "late-bloomer brony" in August 2020 after taking a friend's suggestion to watch MLP: FiM. Some things, you really just can't predict.
Today, Hawk continues to regularly appear on the SBC Discord and forums, occasionally organizing community efforts such as the recurring Community Mixtape. He is most identified online now, however, with his presence in the YSFlight Simulator community, as an organizer and performer in virtual airshows.
