So there's quite a significant change. I'll be putting Dark Omega in charge of Red Crystal Islands as Kuroki, for numerous reasons.
First off, as things stand, the Awakening relies far too much on me, and now that I'm in school, there's too many times where I can't post. So that is a problem that needs to be corrected.
Secondly, I would have Cookie step down as a Keeper regardless of the above. He has disappointed me in his role as Kuroki to the point that I no longer believe he is capable of handling that position. I am saying this after a long history with him as both a Keeper and an RPer in general. He has caused inactivity spikes twice during battle situations as a result of a failure to communicate that he was unable to post. He's deliberately abandoned RCI in the past, focusing on other realms instead, which also caused Creatures to leave. He has afterwards only given me empty promises to bring back RCI. He is considered inactive now, but has left on bad terms. He has, since over a month ago, failed to reply to a PM discussing Kuroki and RCI and has not communicated in any other way. He has given no reason for this as of yet, but I know he has had the opportunity to do so as he appeared several times on the forums after I last messaged him.
So, in short, Cookie has greatly disappointed me as a Keeper and will be stepping down.
As for why I am choosing Dark Omega to perform this task, there's a few reasons for that. Originally I planned to have Mothrayas bring back Faircoast, but as it turns out, he is too busy to be able to handle the realm so it isn't a very good option. That leaves us with literally only two RPers to choose from, as I previously asked Evi as he had some experienced as Mikaelios but he declined. Between Dark Omega and Decagon, I've known Dark Omega for longer, he seems more active, and I keep in better contact with him, so the decision easily goes to him.
So now I have Dark Omega installed as Kuroki. I've already gone over the whole plot with him and he's updated the info post for RCI in addition to the map. First thing he needs to do as Keeper is a cleanup of the dungeon because it is a mess in RCI with only 6 active Creatures and an invading Keeper.
One last thing is that I just want everyone to make sure he stays away from the ponies. That's the main drawback to selecting him.
