Kylah "Ky" Cooke,[1] also known by her username DefinedByKy, is a content creator and streamer. As a member of the Achievement Hunter extended family, she would regularly appear as a cast member in Achievement Hunter videos until the company would dissolve Achievement Hunter near the end of 2023.
After being a recurring guest in videos for the first half of 2021, Ky announced during Off Topic #286 that she was officially part of the Achievement Hunter extended family.[2] A 'Farewelcome' party was held in New York on February 10th, 2022, as a celebration of Ky and BlackKrystel's move from the East Coast to Texas, which was co-hosted by Jeremy Dooley and Steffie Hardy.[3]
Ky has been the cause for a large number of fans complaints and concerns, ranging from her poor behavior towards other cast members (repeated racist and degrading comments for example) to her attacking fans in the comment sections of videos while making vague, thinly veiled insults on social media.
She has repeatedly alienated fans from the Rooster Teeth community with her poor behavior, many finding offense with her posts on social media, including a post on Twitter where she claimed that it was "impossible for the company to have ever been in a Golden, or even a Silver or Copper age when it was just 6 white guys and 1 Hispanic guy." She has since deleted the tweet after massive backlash from the community calling out her racist and offensive behavior, many finding it to be an insult to the hard work everyone else had put into making the company great long before she arrived. She later would make a similar tweet simply stating, "I’d like for think that we haven’t seen the golden age of Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter yet."
Trivia[]
- During the second Achievement Hunter panel at RTX at Home 2021, Ky said Fiona Nova was responsible for her getting hired. When Ky was a fan, she purchased a video call with Fiona and Ify Nwadiwe for RTX at Home 2020. After the call, Fiona tracked down Ky’s social media because she thought Ky was funny. Fiona started watching Ky’s Twitch streams and wound up recommending her to other people at Rooster Teeth, which led to Ky being invited to guest in content and eventually getting hired.
- Ky was nominated for “Best on Camera Talent” at TheGameHERS Awards in 2021.[4]
- She has the lowest gamerscore of any member of Achievement Hunter.
- Her favorite color is blue.[5]
- She is one half of Team Friendly Fire with Blackkrystel.[6]
- Her GMod skin is Callie from Splatoon. The extremely short character model has an oddly-shaped hitbox, but the model's large head evens out targeting issues for opponents.
