Sid (The Dark One)

Category:Characters
"You probably don't realize what you've just done, but you'll find out soon enough.... Have fun ascending."
==Overview==
Sid is a being of ancient shadow that fought against the beings in the sun during a war that was fought between light and darkness. He's tricked many people to work for him, such as the Lorekeeper. There are Sentinels guarding him to make sure he doesn't escape his prison, however he ends up striking both of the Sentinels after the short cutscene that plays when you walk up to him in the Sun. The barrier containing him dissipates before he briefly tells you to have fun ascending before heading to Sid's Tower afterwards.
Once you collect 100 coins in the game and head to the area where Old Man Coin is located, a bridge appears, giving you access to Sid's tower. When you finally climb to the top of the tower, a cutscene plays as Sid thanks you for helping him, leading us to believe that gathering the coins was a part of his plan before giving the player a special mask and set of wings. The items resemble his face and the material of the wings are made of the same substance of his body, as confirmed from the descriptions with the mask being made of ancient shadow.
As a bonus, once you complete the game, the Lorekeeper gives you a task to collect multiple remnants of Sid that were left behind, which you can collect to earn different masks and wings from gathering 10 Sid Orbs every week. 
==Appearance==
His appearance is a black sphere-like body with a white mask in the middle of it. It has been confirmed that his design is somewhat based on No Face from "Spirited Away". Other then that, the mask looks to also be based on a dog judging by how the mask is designed, though by the description of the mask he gives us we know it is made of ancient shadow. This most likely the same material that Sid himself is made of, although we are not sure if the mask is a part of Sid himself or just an accessory hiding something under. Judging by the fact that the mask can make facial expressions, we can assume that it is a part of his body.
==Locations==
Sid is found in 2 areas in the game, the first of which is at the Sun itself, where he is contained. Once you go to ascend he breaks free. He also appears at Sid's Tower, which is an area unlocked once you collect 100 coins. We can also infer that Sid will most likely be in the dimension or location past the portal in the Hub World with his mask on it. 
==Dialogue==
Dialogue within the Sun: 
*SID: "Hello Angels Chosen. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is ʢʣʤʥʦʧʨʩʪʫ"
*PLAYER: "..."
*SID: "But you can call me Sid. You probably don't realize what you've just done, but you'll find out soon enough...… Have fun ascending."
Dialogue at Sid's Tower:
*SID: "Nice to see you again, Angels Chosen. I hope you had a fun ascension, though wasn't expecting you to collect all of my coins for me... you should be rewarded!!! I have a perfect outfit for a greedy person like you. There! Much better! Well its been fun, but I have a new game to make that I'm sure you'll DIE for; keep an eye out the next few months. Ciao!"
== Trivia ==
* Sid seems to have connections with another entity, known as Yen, who was first created by emy#4598 in the official Discord server. So far we know nothing about this character.
* So far, we know that Sid was contained by the Sacred 7, who sacrificed their lives to contain him. We can infer that the Sacred 7 may also represent the 7 Sacred Flames.
