Description

Favis-U, short for "Faceling Virus" - "U" defined as unknown (as the entity's true discovery is still undisclosed to this day), also commonly called "The Faceling Virus", is an atypical type of virus exclusive to the Backrooms.


First Possible Dated Documentation of Favis-U

Favis-U was first seen to be documented from a recovered digital diary from a traveller. The diary was estimated to be first written sometime from 1995-2005, its data was recovered a decade later. The author of the diary is still unknown, confirmed to be deceased.

VIEW CONTENTS

"I believe I may have some kind of illness. Everything just is in pain. I feel like there's something forming under my skin. It feels rough, and it's moving. I'm sat by one of those dark walls in the normal level, I got told it brings me back home. I want to see my family again, but I don't want to bring this illness with me, and potentially give it to my family, heck even worse start a kind of pandemic. I have concluded when the pain gets unbearable, I'll find out what's under my skin. I'll tear my skin. I will die anyway. If anyone finds this, please tell my family I love them."

Other Documentations of Favis-U

It is unsure when the first actual discovery and documentation of Favis-U occurred.

Undisclosed Group Recordings

The name of this group is undisclosed. They, as the recovered data shows from physical and digital recoveries, that they document different anomalies in the Backrooms. Many of their records are not worthy of inspection, as the topics they wrote about have already been covered by other pages, but one that is worthy of inspection is one that reports on a potential discovery on miscellaneous variants of viruses. They go into detail of the characteristics of these viruses, and it is relatively identical to the properties of Favis-U. The only false aspect that they claimed the virus had multiple variants, which M.E.G have only documented one variant. Either M.E.G is yet to discover alternative variants or these variants are no longer present in the Backrooms.

This group is still unknown on whether they had a reputation for writing these documents.

Possible Verified Victim of Favis-U

In the year 2002, the M.E.G medical department got a report of a virus case. It had been stated that the individual was in so much pain they decided to end themselves, with other statements like "there was a rocky texture of this face skin." as the victim was already dead, M.E.G didn't bother examining the outpost.

Behaviours

Favis-U holds abnormal properties - noticeably the ability to deform and modify an infected's face.

One of the most popular properties is that it can somehow transform it's host into a Faceling. Before this happens, the infected goes through 5 stages.

The Stages

Stage 1

This stage is what transitions a normal person into an infected. It is typically unnoticeable at first but reports state symptoms of Favis-U at this stage are the intense irritation of the skin around the face.

The moving rocky layer that will form underneath one's skin has not formed yet.

It is heavily recommended to visit a public M.E.G medical department bay as soon as possible.

Stage 1 to 2 could potentially take weeks or even months.

Stage 2

At this stage, Favis-U has most likely taken over the host's body, causing a rocky layer to form underneath the skin, yet noticeable, it's not the final stage of this layer. The individual infected are most likely to notice something might be up. The pain to some may become unbearable at times.

The conversion of human to Faceling have begun. It is still unknown how this process occurs.

It is still possible to get potential treatment at M.E.G public medical department bays at this stage, if possible.

Stage 2 to Stage 3 could take days.

Stage 3

To some, this is the stage where the desire to end themselves occurs. Due to the immense pain caused from the rocky layer formed underneath the infected's skin, one may want to end themselves to escape the pain. On some reports (Other Documentations of Favis-U) One may become paralysed.

This is the final stage before entirely converting into a Faceling.

It is longer possible to get treatment at this stage.

From Stage 3 to Stage 4 could take a few hours to days.

Stage 4

This is the stage of becoming a Faceling. Fortunately, this is the in-between of the conversion of human to Faceling. Yet you will be registered as a Faceling by operatives and possibly other travelers, one may still have almost full control over their brain, but all senses such as sight, hearing, smell, ect, will have become unavailable to you. Haphazard sessions of random seizure-like movements may occur.

The transition from Stage 3-4 doesn't take place over a few hours, but suddenly. The rocky layer formed underneath the skin will suddenly burst, causing the skin of the face to be destroyed.

The rocky layer is also unidentified biomass, commonly referred as "Faceling Matter".

You will no longer be registered as a human due to your status. You will not be granted access to medical bays.

You are classified as an entity.

The transition to stage 5 could take days, perhaps weeks.

Stage 5

This is the final stage. You will have become deceased, and the virus will have officially token over your body.

You cannot get help at medical bays. You can't. You're dead.

Other Atypical Properties of Favis-U

There are many properties of Favis-U that make it an atypical virus - unique.

These include:

Noclipping Properties

Other atypical properties of The Favis-U is it's ability to somehow noclip through any sort of matter in it's path. How this happens is unknown. But this causes this Virus to be capable of noclipping through different entrances and exits of different Levels.

Experiments show that this ability is limited, as it cannot go outside levels into the void, and will actually slowly die out when in void-like locations, eg. The Void.

Conditions

For some reason, Favis-U will die out in Levels that do not hold void-like locations. For example Level 188. Favis-U will immediately begin to die out in this Level. Why this occurs is unknown. The guess is the high quantity of entity "Windows", but this wouldn't make sense as Favis-U does not have the same effect in other levels with high quantities of windows, Level 4 for example in a specific location with a high quantity of window entities.

An honorable mention of a property of Favis-U:

For some reason, Favis-U has an oddly specific property where it will begin to die out when placed in a location with large vertical extent. For example, when placed high enough in Level 11, it will begin to die out but not in Level 9.
