Lordsathien
Lordsathien joined the Sydlexia forums back in the Winter of '05 (making him member #18) after stumbling across the site's article ranking the coolness level of all the Robot Masters from the Classic Mega Man series up to Mega Man 7. He also is the master of posting Youtube videos on the SydLexia forums and one of the players in Fernin's D&D campaign.

The Video Game Name Chain As an exercise that might pique the forum's interests while also giving him something to do before getting a job, Lordsathien decided to see just how long a chain of game titles he could make without using the exact same name again. He hasn't considered making a longer chain since then, but welcomes anyone who can make a longer chain than 57 games. [1]
Lord Sathien's Actor's Spotlight In an attempt at creating a monthly article without all the pomp and formatting of one of the cover ones on the main site, Lordsathien decided to highlight the career (both former and current) of actors he deemed to be of "C" or "low-B" celebrity.
- April: John Kassir[2]
- May: Barry Gordon[3]
- June: Danny Cooksey[4]
- July: Thomas Francis Wilson, Jr.[5]
- August: No one. Because of scheduling issues, he was unable to pull one together and instead posted a youtube video of Bruce Lee's first screen test.[6]
- September: Robert "Bob" Picardo[7]
- October: Jason Marsden [8]
October is the last of the monthly articles. Now working full-tme on top of other obligations, he doesn't have the time to hunt down the images, information, and format them on a monthly basis. His one regret with the monthly articles was that he never covered a female, notably regarding Trek actresses as too easy and well-followed to cover. If you asked him who his first actress to be featured would be, he would tell you it'd probably have been Amy Jo Johnson.
Forum Avatars
Lordsathien has had many different icons/avatars on the forums. Almost every one of them has been some reflection of his personality or mood. Below is a list of them from newest to oldest:
- Himself. Coincides with acquiring a decent digital camera which he has started to use in making videos for youtube, with content relevant to the forums.
- Shishio Makoto, a burn victim from Rurouni Kenshin. Lordsathien used this one after the fallout from a harshly worded, but poignant post by JEW.
- The Mog of War. Just a cool image. It should be noted Lordsathien has never played any of the God of War games.
- An awesome image (the full size version anyway) of Aang from Aang: the Last Airbender showing mastery of all four elements.
- Jim Kuback, from Mission Hill.
- Dr. Byron Orpheus, from The Venture Brothers. Was used in the grand roster for the Sydlexia Forum Character Battles.
- An NES cart with a retro meaning. Also, the only icon Lordsathien's reused.
- Akabane Kurodo aka "Dr. Jackal" from Getbackers. This was Lordsathien's first avatar but was quickly abandoned due to the difficulty in reading the text and the low vibe for anime among the forums at the time.
The SydLexia D&D Campaign
In Fernin's game, Sathien plays a human druid named Taran Almasy with a hawk companion named Orseph. Taran's main contributions to the party have been the useful scouting talents of having a hawk as an ally, being able to start fires with a single Russian phrase, and resuscitating a child that almost died in a tent from smoke inhalation (that fire was started by Valdronius's character).
Quirks/Uniqueries/Oddities/Quotes
- One of the few active forum members from/in the Southeast United States (the only others being AtmanRyu, the mysterious DrBoron [only three posts, two from 2005 and one from 2007], Neutral-Bob, SSNintendo, and Thorton02)
- Is one of the few furries among the active forum members, as far as he knows (UsaSatsui is one to some degree as well). (Royal Scottish is apparently also one judging from his deviantart page [9], but he never made a single post so nyeh!)
- "The only sparkling vampires I want to see are the ones I pump full of magnesium rounds." - His thoughts on the topic of Twilight and how sunlight affects its vampires. Considered signature-worthy and used as such by SoldierHawk.
