It was less actual well-described shit and more... you know, off-screen hollywood super-villainy. There's really nothing very specific, from what I could get my hands on.
Anyway, since we're talking about the early days of the Korps, why not follow-up on a small assortment of people who were in contact with the illustrious Mr. Dave Sr. before the whole troonout? With special thanks to @Nothing To See Here, @Fetish Roulette and @Emperor Percival Tachyon, here's what I like to call...
the Bullet Dodgers' Club
If you go to DeviantArt and look through Dave Sr.'s account, or search for "kraken korps", you see a few artists being mentioned, tagged, or commenting on Korps-related submissions at around the time of the inception of the original Korps. As far as our research can tell us they all, for one reason or another, drifted away from the project before or in 2008. Here's a small, semi-random selection of souls who probably look on today's Korps and ask themselves "where did it all go wrong?".Disclaimer:
This is a write-up meant to illustrate how more-or-less "normal" the OG Korps was and how varied the people who contributed to it were. None of these people, as far as we can tell, have any association with the current troon-cult version of the Korps. They interacted and/or contributed to the original roleplay setting, and that's all.
There was no way they could know that goofy supervillain roleplay they once contributed to would turn into a tranny grooming organization fifteen years later.
That's why their dox is not being published. (Not that they were hard to find.)
Do not be faggots: don't harrass them.

As @Emperor Percival Tachyon's post illustrates, this guy can be described in four words: fully-engorged Soviet fetish. With a side of lizards and pencil drawings. Most of the early Korps artwork that presented them as a military force complete with commissars seems to have been drawn by this guy. He didn't seem to be very political, either. He just really liked Soviet aesthetics.
Where are they now?
He moved to FurAffinity and is still drawing lizards. The Soviet stylings were probably just a phase. His gallery is almost 100% SFW cartoon animals now. Zero connection to the Korps.
Javkiller

Not much to be said about this one. He drew a few pieces, was in friendly terms with Dave Sr. (the striped dragon girl in Tachyon's post is the female version of his avatar), then wandered off to do his own thing.
Where are they now?
Successful furry porn artist. His DeviantArt was almost completely wiped at some point, and his FA starts in 2010, but it can be safely assumed he spent some time in the My Little Pony fandom. Not much more to be said about him. There's just a lot of furry porn in his FA gallery. From a quick scan he doesn't seem to cater to the Korps' usual kinks in particular, though. He draws cyborgs fairly often as commissions, but it all blends into the background noise of gay porn and bog-standard, non-brainwashed big-titted furry dickgirls. There may still be Korps-themed pictures or commissions somewhere in his gallery, but they would not be recent.

Another pretty generic one. He's the one who came up with the "robots/androids/cyborgs/whatever on the moon" division of the OG Korps. He may have been underage (16 or 17) at the inception of the Korps, but since there didn't seem to be much publicly published Korps-themed porn at the time (mostly erotica passed as "propaganda" and "motivation") it was probably not a big deal.
Where are they now?
Middling furry artist, possibly a recovering porn artist. Went through an edgy phase on DeviantArt post-Korps, then switched usernames, hopped to FurAffinity and... left to DeviantArt again fairly recently after closing shop on FA. There is good amount of porn by him floating online, but contrary to Javkiller his output for the past couple of years is much tamer. He also draws a lot of cyborgs, but much like Javkiller there's no indication of a mind control kink. His featured image on DeviantArt is his own take on a Strype/Dave Jr. picture, but with a human character.
JeiCole

A rare Pepe: a natal female among furries. Had a female ninja character in the Korps and may have had something to do with the whole Vixen Corps thing (that's speculation based on sparse information). Dave Sr. seemed to have the hots for her at some point.
Where are they now?
Dropped off the internet in 2008 without leaving a forwarding address.
Lady-Nightmare
https://www.deviantart.com/lady-nightmare (abandoned since 2008 )https://www.deviantart.com/scribblecloud (last submission in September 2020)

Another natal female. This is likely the most normie of the bunch. Dave Sr. was in contact with her and did some simultaneous/collaborative drawing with her using an early version of OpenCanvas (a popular art program at the time that boasted a networked drawing option similar to Drawpile). There are a couple references to her sprinkled about, and one or two OpenCanvas pictures, but that's about it.
Where are they now?
Non-furry artist. Still drawing, although she doesn't seem to do it professionally or take commissions. She's always seemed to be more interested in anime, with furries as a phase. No obvious kinks, zero connection to the Korps.

This one is fun. This guy draws a lot of creepy shit. Like, real ugly 90s 'zine material in pen and ink. Eerily reminiscent of some old Tim Burton works, or that old furry webcomic, Jack. Another one who drew a couple Korps-themed things, talked to Dave Sr., orbited and commented a bit, then moved on.
Where are they now?
Still drawing exactly the same things, exactly the same way 15 years later. You've got to admire the guy's consistency. Again, no NSFW content (thank God), just creepy shit, and zero connection to the Korps.
So, what does this little selection of people tell us? Two things:
First, that, as the title says, they dodged a few bullets by distancing themselves from Dave Sr. before it all went to shit. The ones that are still active and could be tracked don't seem to have trooned out. Even the one who's neck-deep in furry porn to this day is lightyears more productive than Strype ever was. They also show that the original Korps was broader in scope and themes than what it is now.
Second: this reinforces the current theory that the Korps effectively became an one-man show with Dave Sr. in his Furaffinity account, with only a few minor hangers-on until he decided to go all-in on the mind-control fetish and subsequent trooning out. 2008 to 2012 must have been really lonely, mental illness-inducing years for the guy. All we're missing now is the story of how Daves Sr. and Jr. found each other.
