Entity Number: 9
Habitat: Majority

Description

Facelings are a general term for faceless people that roam the backrooms. There are multiple types, each with varying levels of hostility. They are one of the most populous entities in the backrooms, and likely one of the first entities you will encounter. The most common two forms are "Adult Facelings" and "Child Facelings", although more have since been discovered. Do not even try to make a joke about this.

Habitats: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 10 and Level 11.

Adult Facelings are friendly and do not act with hostility unless provoked. They typically have the appearance of standard adult humans, with smooth skin replacing the entire face. They can appear as male, female, and can also appear completely androgynous.

Child Facelings are mischievous and hostile. They often appear in groups of 2-3, and will torment and attempt to kill survivors they encounter. They are almost always female, and brandish small, sharp objects. These typically are small pieces of sharp metal, or small knives. They will become polite to the wanderers in Level 283 or they will attack when touched or being rude to them. If comforted by touch, they would sleep getting distracted. If attacked, Adult Facelings will protect them and attempting to act hostile to the wanderer. They only appear friendly to wanderers under the age of 16.

However, seeing one is not always an attempt on your life. They will sometimes just try to scare survivors, or even pull humorous pranks on them.

Note: In Level 11 Facelings will act almost identical to humans with the small fact that they can not speak there is even a report of one having a relationship with a human. M.E.G research team are still studying this effect.

Incidents/Quotes:

"I merely asked if it was chicken. It then attacked."

"Ranging from neutral to hostile, you just can't know their hostility..."

"One was chasing me and I repeatedly stab it with a wooden knife from was it Level Primal or Level 5678 anyway it looks dead to me."

Faceling Types

Pink Dress Facelings

Old Man Facelings

These facelings walk around with a cane, and appear to have wrinkles, indicating age on their face. They are very slow, and while harmless, will attempt to "check you out". They will touch your face and body to attempt to figure out what you are. Just briskly walk away if you don't want that.

Polygonal Facelings

Similar to an adult faceling, but with a polygonal-like body. They have the texture of plastic, and emanate a sound similar to static. Polygonal facelings are the result of a faceling that noclips.

Nude Facelings

As the name implies, these facelings lack clothing. They have no genitals, breasts, posterior, or nipples. They trudge around until spotted, and will then run away.

Shadow Facelings

A pitch black faceling. These facelings appear like a silhouette, but are actually corporeal. They are extremely hostile, but are only as strong as a normal human.

False Facelings

These facelings are unique in that they sometimes have partial or even full facial features. Such as half of an eye, a nostril, a mouth, teeth beneath a layer of skin, etc. Otherwise, they act like typical adult facelings.

Clement Memorial Mental Institution Staff

Almost every staff member that entered the Backrooms in the hospital have become facelings. They are harmless unless provoked.

Eyed Faceling

Unlike most others, these facelings have eyes. They have a 1 in 1.6 billion chance of being encountered as opposed to other facelings. You will get transported to a distant, unknown location within the Backrooms if you make eye contact with them for 1+ seconds.

Indoctrinated Facelings

A faceling that has been indoctrinated by Jerry. While not biologically different from any other faceling, they act very different. They will attempt to bring any survivor they find to Jerry to make it a part of the Followers of Jerry.

Memory Facelings

The most dangerous type of faceling, and also the most powerful. These rare facelings will take on the physical appearance of a loved one from your memories, but without a face. They originate from an entity known as the "Memory Worm". How they hunt is currently unknown.

Injured Facelings

As the name implies, these facelings appear damaged. These injuries include bruises, cuts, scrapes, and rarely broken bones. The cause of the damage is most likely being attacked by wanderers, hurt by other entities (hounds, smilers, etc.), or sometimes tripping or bumping into something. They usually move slower, and it takes longer for them to notice wanderers. If you are noticed, don't worry, they will not act hostile towards you. It usually takes about 7-8 days for them to recover, and then they behave like normal adult facelings.

Cavelings

These are the oldest of facelings, only found in the ancient Level Primal. They wear either animal skin are just nude like Nude Facelings. With their spears and tools they will hunt for other entities like the hellraptors and mammoth turtles found around their environment, but they also need to defend themselves from predators like komodo dragons and the terrifying Murder Rex. A caveling tribe can be territorial to intruders so be quite careful when encountering one.

Daycare Facelings

These are the latest facelings discovered. They are considered harmless and would accept job applications for 5 Backdollars. These entities reside on Level Fun.

Mouthed Facelings

These types of facelings have mouths, but they are very rare. They were discovered by a wanderer named Alex. They are usually found in Level 5, and they act like typical adult facelings.

Soldier Facelings in Level 1918.

Soldier Facelings

Nazi Facelings

Content warning: Mention of Nazis. The Backrooms Fandom condemns white supremacy, fascism, nationalism, and neo-Nazism.

These Facelings are augmented with plate armor and given rations of cashew water by the Backrooms National Socialist Coalition (B.N.S.C). They are given armor with Nazi insignia such as swastikas, iron crosses, and trained in hand-to-hand combat, spear combat, and marksmanship. They're deployed in large numbers to attack settlements as shock troops, especially those of Socialist, Leftist, or Communist factions (Backrooms National Socialist Coalition, Socialist Republic of the Backrooms, Backrooms Anarchist Movement, Anarchist Movement of the Backrooms). They are regarded as slaves to the Backrooms Nazi Group, and often traded to Molten Gear in exchange for slaves.

Child Soldier Facelings

A subset of Nazi Faceling is a Child Soldier Faceling. They are child facelings, usually boys, who are indoctrinated and sent into battle. These are more effective than a regular Nazi faceling, but they are hard to come by as they require a lot of resources to create.

Chef Facelings

These hostile facelings are in every food related level, commonly Level 375. These facelings look like adult facelings but with a chef uniform on. Again, they are known to be hostile even unprovoked, and upon being noticed by one, they will attempt to catch you and cook you alive.

The Unfinished are a variation of facelings that are only possible in Level scribble. They have a tall body with lanky arms and legs. They also have two curved lines running across their face, which is a common practice among artists in The Frontrooms when drawing characters with round faces. They will also usually have limbs that suddenly stop and are unfinished. Note: If a faceling with an unfinished limb leaves Level Scribble, the part of that limb will appear to be completely cut off. The faceling will panic and likely search for help. They will be docile to whoever helps them, even if they are unsuccessful.

Chryssa

Chryssa is a Child Faceling who was found, injured and alone, wandering near the Young Wanderers' Camp base in Level 0. She has since been loyal (as loyal as a Faceling can get) to the wanderers of that group and that group only. Is not hostile unless you attack her (or a member of the Y.W.C), or you are over the age of 25. Though, it is best to not approach her at all until you talk to one of the group members and/or join the group.

Rose

Rose, also called Bloody Rose, is a False Faceling found injured by Hayden Friedrich on Level 1. She has her mouth, nose, right eye (minus the pulpil), and she's missing her left eye. She's described as being very attractive, and her missing eye spot is obscured by long hair bangs. Hayden dressed her wound and showed her kindness despite her being completely unknown and ghostlike. When the lights turned off, Hayden was attacked by a group of three hounds and overpowered. Rose attacked all the Hounds with ease, and from then on, she traveled with Hayden. She has mastered reading, Marxist-Leninist philosophy, Taekwondo Technique, first aid, marksmanship, and is extremely strong, able to kill a regular faceling or a hound in one hit. She and Hayden are part of the Backrooms United Haven, and actively fight against Backrooms National Socialist Coalition and Molten Gear.

These type of Facelings are distorted and have a face randomly segmented around their body. They are the most recent discovery, found in Level -177, and are known to be highly aggressive.

Fake-Face Facelings

These Facelings are commonly found in houses in the town from Level 92 and wear make-up and other things to look more like a human, they are usually neutral but interactions can cause aggression.

Discovery

Facelings are one of the first entities ever discovered in the Backrooms. One of the earliest M.E.G. reports ever written referenced them. Journal entries referencing facelings date back to year 1909. Their exact origin is still unknown.
