Eltee Statosky

Eltee joined Second Life in 2003, where she wandered from the starting zone and found empty land for sale in the Lusk region, which set the groundwork for what is Luskwood today. In many senses, Eltee is the tinkerer behind many of Luskwood's most visible tools including our amazing vendors and support monolith and many scripts for objects around the community.

In the real world Eltee is an accomplished systems engineer for a Fortune 500 company. She has provided fixes for multiple bugs and issues in Second Life, helping the developers considerably, and is well known by multiple Lindens. Eltee also handles financial matters, land management, and avatar support. She also often attends various furry conventions.

Michi Lumin

From day one, Michi has been a huge part of Luskwood. She really embodies what this community is all about, and honestly, that’s why people admire her so much, both here and beyond. If you know her, you know purple is her thing. It’s not just her style; it’s a big part of what makes her so unique and unmistakably herself.

Michi has a long history in digital signals and encoding, and she’s worked with big names like Sonic Foundry, ABC News, Sony, Sprint, and Qwest. These days she specializes in radio and signal processing for a government contractor. And her credentials are impressive: a bunch of FCC licenses, radar operator certification, and she can fly a Cessna 172. Around Luskwood Creatures, she’s a major part of managing land, boosting publicity, and helping with community outreach and governance. She speaks at lots of community events across Second Life and has been involved in Luskwood initiatives since the very beginning. She also had a hand in many of the avatar designs working beside Liam and Arito. When she’s not doing all that, she’s into lasers, photography, telecom history, and messing with high voltage.

Liam Roark

Liam is a talented writer, artist, and designer. They created many of the earliest wooden trinkets in the Luskwood general store, including the eponymous wood owl, and many of the early place landmarks still seen in Lusk and Perry today. Once they turned their attention to avatar design, they created many early custom avatars for residents, and following that success, the majority of the Luskwood vended avatar designs. These include many of the most beloved species, including the design and lore of the Jogauni. They also leveraged their sense of 3D design to create a number of real-world Luskwood fursuits.

In real life, Liam found renewed purpose and drive through Luskwood's success and our community and used that as an anchor to put themselves back through school. Earning first their undergraduate degree and then attending medical school to earn their MD. They are now an accomplished and actively practicing doctor of family medicine.

Arito Cotton

Arito designed and created some of the earliest anthropic avatars in Second Life, including many original Luskwood avatars and costumes. He also had an important impact on creating promotional materials, as well as logos, marketing designs, coding, databases, and promotional materials. Arito is no longer directly active with Luskwood but has continued his artistic passions beyond Second Life and into new adventures.
