=== Appearance ===
identity appears to be a deformed human with a wide, featureless mouth and disfigured eyes with unusually large pupils placed disorientingly. He has a convex nose, small ears, a slightly elongated head, and short hair. He is dressed in a black shirt that covers his entire neck, though the collar is not visible. The eyes are drawn with varying amounts of ink, and he has no eyebrows. He appears to be smiling maliciously. In-game, his image is slightly poorly cropped, showing only half of his body.
The image is presented in grayscale, likely due to it being printed on paper. There's also a distinctive artifact due to video compression. The original source image appears to be shorter in height compared to the in-game version and can be viewed in Miscellaneous, under Gallery.

=== Audio ===
identity emits distorted human whispering sounds. His jumpscare audio features a loud woman’s scream, which is consistent with the jumpscare audio used by all other nextbots in nn_tunnels.

=== Image ===
identity's image originates from an analog horror video called "Identity Test | Analog Horror", uploaded by an analog horror YouTuber known as Dark Mind. The video was published on January 30th, 2023, and the image can be found at the timestamp 0:51. The video is about a Basswood County series that is inspired by the Mandela Catalogue. However, the original creator said it was not relevant to the series.

=== Audio ===
identity's proximity audio originates from a Roblox audio called "Nightmare Whispers Several Unintelligible 1 (SFX)", which can be found here, and by courtesy of Pro Sound Effects. The in-game version has a lower pitch. In Audacity, the audio was pitched down to -8. The pitch of the proximity audio is 0.93, but in reality the audio's pitch might be 0.9.
identity's suggested jumpscare audio is a Wii crash sound effect, which was commonly used for Mario-related videos like Mario Kart Wii and Super Mario 64 (specifically SM64BA's Wing Cap Tower GUI); however, one of the versions features the audio glitches right beforehand along with white noise at the end, and a current jumpscare originates from the 1946 film "Great Expectations". It was also sourced from "Scary Tic Tac Toe Game."
His old jumpscare audio was an edited variant of Nightmare or Nightmarionne's jumpscare audio from Five Nights at Freddy's 4; it was slowed down to 0.7 in Audacity.

==Trivia==
* Neptune#0575 suggested identity in #nextbots-suggestions under the Dev Inquiries channel. Originally, identity would spawn in nn_mall. He also would have a special ability to change the brightness and the color of his image, depending if there was an ongoing event. 
 Both of his suggested audios would be different from the in-game versions; his Proximity audio would emit an alarm going off, and his Jumpscare audio would be a long-term program error sound effect. However, this function isn't intended to be in the game, and all of his audios were changed when he was added to the game. The suggested name was "Idenity," which is obviously a misspelling.
**The person who suggested identity originally intended him to be a replacement for afton, probably because the nextbot's image art style seems similar to afton's due to distorted proportions on his face.
