History LetsPlay / Sjin

** ''Feed the World'' and later ''Sjin's Farm''
** ''Cheat Police''

** ''DruidZ''

* AffablyEvil: Part of his persona while playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Tekkit'' (he and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} actually start bouncing jokes back and forth during their climactic showdown in ''The Blackrock Chronicle''), whereas in real life you can drop the "evil" part.

** To Strawfingers in ''LetsPlay/FeedTheWorld''. Beforehand, [[LetsPlay/DuncanJones Duncan]] and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} took this place in various ''Minecraft'' series.

* ChewToy: Treated as such in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory Tekkit'' series.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Has shades of this with NaiveNewcomer LetsPlay/KimRichards in episode 25 of ''LetsPlay/FeedTheWorld''.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite getting frequently pushed around, he keeps LetsPlay/SipsCo running and in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series [[spoiler: through his manipulation of LetsPlay/{{Sips}} is revealed to secretly be the true CEO]], being considered more of a threat than his boss by LetsPlay/ZoeyProasheck and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} in ''The Blackrock Chronicle''. He's also a generally good gamer in spite of his eccentric mannerisms.

* FinalBoss: For Rythian and Zoey in Season 1 of ''Blackrock''.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: From LetsPlay/SimonLane's perspective. [[spoiler:He gets fired from LetsPlay/SipsCo]] in Episode 14 of the ''Tekkit LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series and tries joining Simon and LetsPlay/DuncanJones. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Simon keeps beating him with a stick and calls him the worst employee ever. He then leaves, with Simon then firing him.]] Later on, he does reform for real.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Part of his characterisation in ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory''. [[spoiler:It's a front for his manipulative tendencies]].

* RedemptionPromotion: After Sjin reforms in the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series, [[spoiler:he becomes a lot more competent and becomes an efficient worker]]. Granted, TheReveal proved he wasn't quite so stupid anyway, but it became even more noticeable afterwards.

** He basically destroyed the ''LetsPlay/YogscastVoltz'' server by detonating a red matter bomb underneath their base, while trying to mine for copper, though to be fair he had no idea what it was at first. Then they decided to find the wormhole after the server has been fixed, only stopping because the ocean prevents them from finding the chunk it's in. Their solution to this? Try building yet another red matter bomb, because that worked so well the first time.

** In ''LetsPlay/{{MarsQuest}}'', he gets fatally electrocuted by an electric fence ''twice in as many minutes''.

* EtTuBrute: LetsPlay/KimRichards has this reaction to Sjin in the LetsPlay/FluxBuddies series after he betrays her for LetsPlay/{{Sips}}.

* ''Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries'', including the subseries:

* AffablyEvil: Part of his persona while playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Tekkit'' (he and LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} actually start bouncing jokes back and forth during their climactic showdown in ''Machinima/TheBlackrockChronicle''), whereas in real life you can drop the "evil" part.

He's also a generally good gamer in spite of his eccentric mannerisms.

** He basically destroyed the ''LetsPlay/YogscastVoltz'' server by detonating a red matter bomb underneath their base, while trying to mine for copper, though to be fair he had no idea what it was at first. Then they decided to [[UpToEleven find the wormhole after the server has been fixed]], only stopping because the ocean prevents them from finding the chunk it's in. Their solution to this? Try building yet another red matter bomb, because that worked so well the first time.

** UpToEleven during the "Prongs of Power" series when he [[spoiler:nukes the entire world with more nukes than he can fire in a single turn whilst humming Beethoven's 7th]]. The rest of the game was mostly spent recovering from this.

* NiceHat: Almost never seen without a beanie whenever his face appears in videos.

* BadassBeard: His iconic goatee, which is featured on his Minecraft skin. He sometimes has one in real life.

* BaldOfAwesome: For a brief period in 2014.

** In ''LetsPlay/{{MarsQuest}}'', he gets fatally electrocuted by an electric face ''twice in as many minutes''.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTv3MftkK9k According to a story Sips and Turps told]], Sjin bought a plush of Maximus from ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' while in America and had to throw out a pair of jeans in order to make it fit. [[InvokedTrope This is something no one else in the Yogscast will let him forget]]. Ever. Sjin claims this isn't true, for what it's worth.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: He doesn't hesitate to show off his feminine side every now and again. He's well known at this point for [[{{Crossplayer}} playing Granny_Bacon]] in Shadows Of Israphel, and one of the rewards for the 2014 stream donation goals? He showed to sing [[{{Disney/Frozen}} Let it Go]] in a full Elsa costume.

* NeverLiveItDown: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTv3MftkK9k According to a story Sips and Turps told]], Sjin bought a plush of Maximus from ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' while in America and had to throw out a pair of jeans in order to make it fit. [[InvokedTrope This is something no one else in the Yogscast will let him forget]]. Ever. Sjin claims this isn't true, for what it's worth.

** In ''Rule the World'', [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Eldraphyn]] even refers to Sjin as such thanks to [[InfinityPlusOneSword The Sword of Sjinterfell]] as well as [[MoreDakka The Heartseeker Crossbow]]. She's proven right [[spoiler:in their surgical strike on Alfheim, when they retake Eldraphyn's kingdom after a ''very'' short fight.]]

** This could be a case of BlackAndGreyMorality however, as Sjin is more than willing to fight obviously evil opponents like [[AristocratsAreEvil Lord_Blackwood]], and help ambiguously good characters like Princess [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Eldraphyn]]...but he never claims to be ''good'', exactly - after all, he wants to TakeOverTheWorld.

Sjin, real name Paul Sykes, is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] and a member of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}. He frequently shows off Time Lapse constructions in his Let's Build series, and collaborates on both vanilla and modded Minecraft series, usually either with LetsPlay/{{Sips}} or LetsPlay/DuncanJones. His Minecraft co-op series are largely filled with aimless or laid-back conversations with either Sips or Duncan and not a lot of progress.
