Dawn is a character who has been present since the beginning of Johnisdead. First appearing as a player during the YSHDT Arc, Dawn's status as a canon character was solidified during the Our Horizon Arc, when it was revealed he was The Dawn - a high ranking member of The Sun Children cult. Players assisted Dawn in escaping the Emerald Prison, who then in turn promised to help them in the future. He seems to be represented by a Rook Chess piece.

Story

Dawn was born in Jacksonville, Florida sometime in the 1990's. Dawn cannot remember much about this time as he was "taken away" around the age of three. In 2010, Dawn joined the Within Hubris Forums where he became good friends with Tyler. The two would often share art projects, talk philosophy, and play games together. At some point, Dawn was inducted into The Sun Children - a cult that worships Helios. Dawn's father was also a member of the Sun Children, holding the esteemed title of The Dawn. At some point, Dawn's father was killed due to "Hubris", resulting in the title of "The Dawn" being passed down to Dawn himself. This granted him special powers, such as teleportation. Dawn was also granted the Sun Children's holy book, though he was later separated from it after leaving it at Tyler's house after some sort of "session".

Dawn trapped in the machine.

In 2015, Dawn joined the Internet Detectives during the YSHDT Arc. Dawn was seemingly a normal player in the ARG up until March 7th, 2015, when Helper referred to him as a "Demon". Helper claimed this was because Dawn "seeks to create what the players did not", likely referring to how he often joked about wishing to kill the players' Link, Doug.[1] On March 21st, the current GM of the ARG, The Man, asked to speak to Dawn in private.[2] A few days later on March 25th, The Man confirmed that Dawn had "traded away" his Ocarina powers for some unknown reason.[3]

Following the events of the YSHDT Arc, Dawn became largely inactive in the Internet Detectives. In 2020, he created Withinhubris.com - a general hub for the community that hosted various Wikis. In April of 2020, Dawn began acting strange in the Internet Detectives Discord server. His username changing to "|||||" and he posted strange screenshots of JanusVR environments. It is believed that around this time, Dawn was kidnapped and his special powers were mostly drained from him. Dawn was seemingly hooked into a machine that trapped his soul in the "Emerald Prison" Janus room.

Later on, players discovered a new Chatango chatroom titled The Real Within Hubris through a blog post on Letschasethemouse. Here, TheLaw explained that he and Dawn are "the same in spirit" before proceeding to lead the players to the "Sun Tower" Janus room, which he describes as a sort of "digital lockbox" or "deadman's switch" that contained all of Dawn's accumulated information.[4]

In the "Sun Tower" Janus room, players discovered the login information needed to access Dawn's desktop via "Anydesk" - a remote desktop viewing software. Dawn's passwords were named after some of his favorite sweets - "lindttruffles", "whippedcream", and "gelato". As players explored Dawn's files, they uncovered the existence of the "Sun Children", and Dawn's involvement with them. Players also discovered various text commands that could be used in the hidden command line found on Withinhubris.com. Once entered, these commands led players to the "Spire" Janus room.

On May 4th, Dawn's Discord account began acting strangely once again. The next day, players were led back to the "Spire" Janus room where Stackoverflow led them to the "Emerald Prison" Janus room. Here, players encountered Dawn, who was still imprisoned and entrapped by two blue entities named Dead. Dawn was unsure how long he had been trapped in the Emerald Prison, only that, in this state, he was unable to die and pass on the title of "The Dawn". Fortunately, the players were able to free him by submitting the "Sun's Song". Dawn's escape can be seen in the videos maşină and Libertatea Soare, where he wakes up in the machine he was previously entrapped by. Dawn pulls out various cords and wires that were connected to his body before opening a portal and escaping.

Dawn being attacked by BUP.

After Dawn escaped the machine, he began travelling towards Florida. He explained that his connection with Helios had been severed since he is no longer in possession of his holy book, which was still at Tyler's house. Over the next couple weeks, Dawn would occasionally chat with players in the Internet Detectives Discord server, asking them for advice and updating them as he travelled to Florida on foot. Throughout these chats, he revealed that he was being followed by some sort of entity. At some point, Dawn rented out a motel room. Here, he left a variety of taunting messages directed at the entity that was tracking him, which would later come across them and become enraged as seen in the video following.mp4.

When Dawn eventually arrived at Tyler's house, he was attacked by BUP. The two engaged in a swordfight, as seen in the video halo.mp4. Dawn managed to fend off BUP and proceeded to enter Tyler's home, where he finally recovered his holy book. Following this, Dawn was represented by a Rook Chess piece. Afterwards, Dawn thanked the players for assisting him and promised to help them in the future should they ever need him.

Personality

Dawn is an incredibly relaxed individual, often cracking jokes and not taking on a very serious tone, even when the stakes are high. After escaping a horrific machine and embarking on a massive journey on-foot, Dawn still took time to have casual conversations with his friends in the Internet Detectives. Even when placed in the worst situation possible, such as during his time trapped within the "Emerald Prison" Janus room and faced with death, Dawn maintained a cool-headed approach to things, mainly complaining about his boredom and inability to continue his duties with with Sun Children. Despite all of this, Dawn is very devout to Helios and places his religious duties above all else.

Dawn

A force from outside the sphere, who I think might have had some greater plan actually but despite finding the paths by which to walk his story reflecting into the lower spheres board was consumed by the distrubances at the altar of IIII

But the solar spirit permeates the works of the spheres. The sun will always be friends with the moon, how cuuuute~
Alas the emerald lion consumes the sun laying waste to the light of day, the sun now not golden but emerald in this place, the sphere blackened by null of night.
But the great author refused this, the sun shall not be blackened in this way the lord doth say.
The lion would be cast out in the end? The 12 lined wheel of destiny remains hidden and holy for those who seek it in good faith.
