==History==
Starlit and Adam "SkyDoesMinecraft" Dahlberg had been classmates when they were in 3rd grade but eventually lost contact of each other. After 14 years, one of Starlit's friends met Adam and told Starlit that he knows Adam. On Starlit's twitter, he asked his fans what to call his fanbase. Some say "Boppers" and Starlit was kind of interested in that idea. Others say "Jinvaders", which Starlit liked the idea. He made his final choice and chose "Jinvaders" as what he calls his fans and "The Jinvasion Force" is the name of his fanbase.
==Role Plays==
Starlit, SkyDoesMinecraft, YourPalRoss, ThatGuyBarney, SGCBarbierian and Aphmau made roleplays and have a schedule when they will upload. One of their series "The Crafting Dead". Nick (SGCBarbierian) started this series in 2014 with GhettoGamer, AK, and 09Sharkboy. They met up with some people that are now in the group but some are already dead. They met a cannibal Red (RedVacktor), which is their Rival. They met him in Season 1 or 2. In Season 3, Nick and Ghetoo met a girl named Jess (Aphmau) and she joined their team. In Season 4 They met a guy named Barney and when they met, Nick and the others were in his house without knowing. He said he was looking for "goat" (Adam) that's why he wasn't in his house for about 2 weeks. Barney and Jess went to look for goat. They found out where he was and they went on a very long journey to find Nick. They went to DC and went into the white house. While they were going to DC they met a doctor named Ross. They were looking for the bunker and they thought they'll split up. Adam (SkyDoesMinecraft) was with Jess and Barney was with the Doctor. Adam and Jess found a base where Nick and the others were. Doctor Jin, the owner of the base said that Doctor Ross was the one who created the virus and started the zombie apocalypse. All of them want to find Barney but it was too late, Ross injected him with the virus and they saw him as a walker (another term for zombie). Adam had to shoot him in the head. He had no other choice. But as of the last 2-3 seasons of SGCBarbierian's series, Starlit returned after being presumed dead in the explosion at the White House where Sky was killed from shoving Ross off the edge of the roof with him. Shortly after Starlit's return, Barney was found as a reanimated being and caged by Starlit to study for experiments. Despite this, Starlit's name is not shown in the title credits of the video.
===Pirates===
Starlit, SkyDoesMinecraft, YourPalRoss, ThatGuyBarney and SGCBarbierian had a pirates series. A ship from Britain lead by Captain Jin with Firstmate Sky, Deckhand Barney and Cabin Boy Ross. Starlit told Sky to work for the night shift but it went to a horrible problem. The ship crashed into an iceberg and all of the people in the ship, except them died. They were in an island and looked for supplies to survive. They built a shelter, planned by Starlit, Sky and Barney to search the island for any treasure. Ross was left behind to guard the shelter. On their trip to finding treasure, they passed by skeletons and saw a base filled with gold and skeletons. Starlit thought it was a bad idea to stare there because of the skeletons and maybe they'll end up like that when they stay there. They got back to the shelter and saw Ross burning wood to find help.
==SkyMedia Offices==
In 2015, Starlit became part of SkyDoesMinecraft's company called SkyMedia. Starlit was in many videos until Late November 2015, when Starlit rarely appeared in any videos. His last video on SkyVSGaming's channel was a Grand Theft Auto Video. In SkyDoesMinecraft's mail video on December 4, 2015, It was confirmed due to creative differences, Starlit decided to leave SkyMedia and to continue on a Solo YouTube channel.

Starlit had stopped uploading since August 10, 2016. On September 9, 2016, Scarce, a YouTube news channel, uploaded a video of Starlit being affiliated with child pornography. Behind the scenes, Scarce and his news team got Starlit's real name, and have found the name to be in line with public court documents about Starlit's crimes and detention.http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FDCO%2020160810897/U.S.%20v.%20ZHAO In the video, Scarce also said that he and his team believe that his absence on YouTube and Twitter is due to being held in custody, detained, and in court.
