Sidney can easily be seen as an unassuming person in his own era, causing him to be underestimated at times. He is more on the reserved side; quiet, talking when others talk to him, he sees fit, or desires to, while more on the quiet side he isn't shy especially not timed. Instead, Sid is open-minded for communication, capable on being able to carry on a conversation by himself, people may find him easy to get along with at first. Though, it isn't rare that others grow distant once they learn of his almost uncontrollable urge to steal, so while it hurts he knows he shouldn't be surprised when it happens. He is a bold young man, in spite of being quiet he can speak up for himself, he is one that is willing to take risks. Highly curious, by nature Sidney has always been curious in animals, people, the world, and being a quick-learner, he opts to make the effort to try to learn more and more.
Obviously, Sidney is compulsive, and it is best for others keep in mind that he means no harm. Does he feel guilt in stealing? Yes. Along with feeling anxious about being found out sometimes, he does experience guilt about taking what doesn't belong to him, all because of a urge that feels irresistible. However. During the actual act of stealing, the feeling of satisfaction rushes over him, a feeling of fulfillment having to be put at ease even if it's only temporarily. The satisfaction only makes committing the act more tempting. All that said, when he is found out, he is apologetic though reluctant to give the stuff back. If he is kept from giving into his urge, he becomes tense with his anxiety soaring upwards.
Something Sidney likes to do is call people dingus', and it's grown into a habit of his. Sometimes he means it in a playful or joking way, other times he can be genuinely upset with you, you'll be able to differentiate from the tone of his voice and, y'know, if he looks peeved or not. Hes a expressive person, almost like he isn't able to hide how he is feeling, even if he doesn't tell you what's wrong you'll see on his face that something is indeed not right. Nothing like being patient and being a Klepto at the same time, he won't be able to wait super long, but he will wait a moment for others nearby to be distracted before striking. Along with his patience, he is furtive; secretive, he wants to steal and not be caught immediately after, if you approach him asking he he stole a certain item without the proof in your hand, he will be quick to deny.
Going back to his social, Sidney is still one to wave hello, or sometimes offer a greeting vocally to someone else just walking the streets. Having the tendency to find the presence of other people- also animals comforting, he can insist on returning the comfort being more of a listener than a talker sometimes. A supportive person, Sidney will probably push what somebody wishes, whether or not they have doubts he is prepared to be with them the rest of the way is they so want.
Appearance:
Short in stature, he has a thin, long-limbed body with slimmer limbs along with a rectangle shaped figure, Sidneys complexion is nothing short of extremely pale with reddish freckles covering his arms, legs, upper back and face. Body isn't very toned, having only light muscle definition. He would be lying if he hasn't been called pretty a couple of times over the years, just based on his more compact frame. His face has a absence of sharp angles, or corners, but not rounded instead being oval-shaped including a rounded chin, the iris' of Sids rounded eyes are blue in color. The aforementioned blue eyes are on the darker side, with naturally thin and short eyelashes then thick brows. Nose is a snub nose, it's short yet wide, the lips- While slim, are not completely thin.
Sidneys thick hair a medium brown shade, now after reaching his adulthood hes let his hair grow out. As to avoid having to cut it back to a more shorter style, due to how his school banned young men with longer hair. As much as his time period is popularly known to have men with longer hair, it was actually frowned upon by traditionalists, for some the style on men just wasn't accepted. Obviously, this didn't stop Sidney from his desire to have the current haircut, which he is seen wearing more often than not now a days. Moving back to Sidneys lengthy hair longer in the back, his own hair is stylized in a shag haircut, the upper layers are fluffed out at the sides.
The young man sure loves his bell-bottom and flare jeans, to someone in a more modern age, it could be seen as almost aggressively 70s of him. But rather his overall appearance is aggressively 70s. Along with his usual preferred type of pants, he does have straight legged pants. However. He also loves his turtleneck sweaters, so if this man Time Jumps into a setting that is hot, then it doesn't get all-that practical.
The most common outfit of his consists of a multicolored striped turtleneck, the collar is folded over, the colors of the sweater being white with browns, oranges and a few red stripes for accent, the stripes all vary in size. Then including a brown belt, is the prior mentioned denim bell-bottoms. If he isn't wearing his beloved roller-blades, then lo' and behold, the only thing that could make his attire even more in-your-face towards the time he is from. 2-inch height-boosting platform boots add a couple more inches to his height, in spite of this, he is still short for a guy at 5'7". Using a red backpack to carry his things, if it wasn't for the various music and rollerskating themed patches on the back, it would be rather plain.
Blair and Bonnibel:
Sidneys famous roller-skates; Blair and Bonnibel, skates like them would be considered retro in the current age. Blair is the right skate, as he normally puts out the right foot out when he walks, runs, etc, so shes considered by Sid as the starting point of his skating. Blair is primarily red, with a singular but large lighting bolt shape going across the sides, the lightning bolts being orange on the outside then yellow in the inside. While Bonnibel is the left skate, considered to be the backbone of his skating, having inverted colors, being primarily yellow, instead having a few sparks across both sides, which resemble firework explosions. The said sparks are either orange and red, there are three and two of them are red while the last is orange, same for the inner side.
They are seen to be polished every time before use. But Blair is noticeably not without flaw, having a few minor scratches, it just brings into light of the skates further differentiating, "sugar and spice" sort of personas given by Sidney. As in spite of Blair, Bonnibel is without scratches. The dark blue lace is without grime, and speaking of the lace, the coloring matches the bottom of the skates including the toe, back and the wheels. However, the back and toe of Bonnibel is a more purple-y blue, this is but a production error. And the inside of the skates are a solid blue. It is undeniable that the pair of footwear have been taken good care of otherwise, in spite of the imperfections.
