Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early Life[[edit] | [edit source]]
In N-Space, Sid Rat was born some time around the year 2000, although it was unknown how close this approximation was. They assumedly attended school, where they found a love for both History and Doctor Who, watching both the New and Old series at Lunchtime.
Career[[edit] | [edit source]]
Sid Rat later rose to noteriety for their love of Doctor Who, writing on many online forums and sites, completing online quizzes, and even writing a research paper on the link between Doctor Who and Politics.
Working as an ArcHivist[[edit] | [edit source]]
After most of the excitement of discovering Doctor Who related facts and media died down for Sid, they then turned their attention to the archivisation of facts, knowledge, and media relating to the Whoniverse so that it may be preserved for others to see and experience themselves. This included the (re)discovery of the earlier Loose Cannon Productions' Reconstructions online and as VHS transfers, so that people could compare them to later attempts, as well as saving fanmade music albums from deletion and predatory third-party monetisation.
Life as a Scorchie[[edit] | [edit source]]
By one account, Sid Rat was a Scorchie, sent to Earth in the 1970s as part of the attempted Scorchie invasion, but didn't have their physical form destroyed by the Doctor's reversed signal due to being rented out to a Punch and Judy show at Robin Hood's Bay at the time of activation.
Other Realities and Incarnations[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In one life, Sid was a model for Vincent van Gogh, but the artwork was destroyed by van Gogh due to his dissatisfaction with the choice of pigments.
- Records show that in a different incarnation, Sid Rat may not have been ginger at all, and was actually a gargoyle-esque statuette that was placed on Notre Dame in 1427, after being rejected from becoming a Garden Gnome for a Parisian noble.

Controversy[[edit] | [edit source]]
During their time as a Scorchie, Sid accidentally stole a real baby, instead of Punch and Judy's. This resulted in multiple parental complaints as the child was almost eaten by the Crocodile, but was saved at the last moment. This caused Sid to be fired, and had to live off of baked bean sandwiches whilst living under the stairs of Sean Lock for nearly two years, before joining a travelling circus, in which he himself was promptly eaten by a hungry lioness.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Myths[[edit] | [edit source]]
- As a Scorchie, Sid embodied a rat puppet. It is not known what form the Scorchie Sid took, only that they kept the surname 'Rat' whilst embodying a puppet.
- The nickname 'Gingerfool' stemmed from the colour of Sid's hair. While some sources claim that Sid is infact ginger, this can be almost always attributed to lighting and colour correction errors, rather than Sid's actual hair colour.
