About

Lordimass (also known for short as Lordi, or by his real life name of Sam) was the first member to join Havoc besides the founder himself (Thanatos) after finding a post on Reddit looking for people to help work on the Terraria mod. Although he did not have any pixel art knowledge or expertise at the time, Lordimass was intrigued and got in contact with Thanatos to join the development server. His time with Havoc allowed him to make many new friends through the Havoc Development Server and the Havoc Community Server, most notably LemonOfMayhem and FineminePlays. The latter of these created HavocCraft, which was originally a Minecraft Realm, and the first Havoc affiliated Minecraft Server, this was also paired with the HavocCraft Discord server, which later transitioned to the Elastic Reformation server, which Lordimass was the official owner of.

Involvement with Havoc

When he joined the Havoc team, Lordimass had never actually done any pixel art before, but he took this as an opportunity to learn. Over his time working on the Terraria mod, he gained a basic level of artistic skills in pixel art, later contributing to his artistic abilities in more traditional forms of art. Most notably, he worked on the sprite for the Bloody Cultist's ship, creating part of the pixel outline and a plan for the textures based on N_Masked's sketch. Lordi also spent a lot of time working on other sprites for the "Bloody" series of items, such as the armour, and blood drop item sprites.

Game Development

Following Lordi's time with Havoc he went on with his passion for game development, represented through the game Automation Acres in 2022[?]. This game was a farming game based around the concept of automatons that could be programmed to do tasks for you, it was inspired by games like Autonauts vs Piratebots and Forager. The development of this game followed a similar theme to Havoc, that is, it fell apart after some time due to the interest dying out. This left the Automation Acres development server inactive from then on.

Lordimass has also taken part in or led the development of several smaller projects and tests, giving him some skills in Unity (C#) and Godot (GDScript) along with his pre-existing expertise in Python.

Reformation Fundraising

Although the concept for these repeated events was originally proposed by Lkactus, Lordimass always played a key role in planning and execution processes. The idea was found initially when Lkactus came across an advertisement for a 19hr gaming event for the Red Cross' Operation Covid-19, wherein you were able to create your own stream and raise money to help with relief for the ongoing pandemic. This intrigued both of them, partially because they were interested in helping out, but also because it gave them the opportunity to play more games together. This concept became a recurring theme, and eventually an annual tradition. Read more about Reformation Fundraising on the main article.

Reformation MC

Reformation MC in itself follows a complicated tree of servers and worlds, but the generally accepted "first server" is one hosted by Tchrin named Logimass, a mixture of Lkactus' real life name of 'Logan', and 'Lordimass'. Lordimass played a part in all of the following servers in this path, eventually reaching the rebrand of Reformation MC, via HavocCraft, hosted originally by Finemine as a realm.

Reformation D&D

Lordimass became involved with Reformation D&D in 2023 after asking to join a campaign being ran by Edweird. This decision was based on his love for fantasy and fiction in general, and the want to give the game another shot following a few bad experiences with it in the past. Ed's response to this was to create a new campaign with Jack Spade, Ni, and Lordi's brand new character, Grorge. This campaign only lasted a few sessions but it was enough to ignite a newfound love for D&D and storytelling in Lordimass.

Later, as part of a D&D club at college, Lordimass became involved in another campaign ran by Edweird, this time with another new character, Iadoros Asmodean, adding to his repertoire of characters in the campaign with Dirsh and A. Buckrai. This campaign which deeply expanded the backstory initially set out for Iadoros, creating an interesting and complicated character.
