Homo Mutatus

**Facelings** (Homo Mutatus), are the widely documented inhabitants of the Backrooms, bearing the striking resemblance of a human with absolutely no facial features. Facelings are the Backrooms imperfect representation of humanity, being strikingly similar, yet off in a not so subtle way that makes them eerie to even look at. While they may seem quiet soulless and freighting to users first encountering them; the majority of all Facelings are simply peaceful inhabitants, and are mostly benevolent. Facelings also seem to be generally more social and active around humans than actual members of their species, which is characterized in their anti-social behavior. However, the younger a Faceling is, generally the more hostile they become, with slightly child-like behavior. Facelings deeper into the Backrooms -- notably past Level 13 -- become increasingly more hostile even amongst the older and more mature versions. This can be attributed to the properties of the Backrooms as a whole.

## Description

Entity 009, resemble modern day humans, (Homo-Sapiens) however with the notable exception of all facial features. Generally Facelings stand upright like humans (bipedalism), though can be a slouched position which is usually attributed with age for the Facelings. At some age Facelings will revert in intelligence and act more like the younger Facelings, soon turning quadrupedal (on all fours) and behave more like Hounds than actual intelligent creatures. The life cycle of Facelings is also quiet similar to humans however they seem to lack reproductive organs and only mimic reproduction. Many of the things inside a Faceling are mimicked, such as breathing and talking. On occasion they will even seem to mimic other humans or members of their species if present.

Facelings typically dress similar to humans, though seemingly with more bulkier materials. Even though they are stronger they still retain a soft texture similar to cloth. Generally, the clothes of the entity will be representative of what the Faceling does, and they are also often themed appropriately to the level. Facelings in terms of the Backrooms, act as the gears keeping the place running in some small sense. Facelings don't actually control the functions of the Backrooms, but instead do control smalls things, like the machinery within levels like Pipe Dreams, or Blackened Sewers. They may even run small businesses, like in Level 4, or Level 5, and may even act as staff or employees of a certain area, like the two previously mentioned levels. Facelings, however when asked about their jobs always seem to be oblivious to the fact that they one: don't work for anyone in particular. And two: don't actually do anything important in the level, rather they just seem to be around the tasks they should be doing. However in some circumstances they do actually perform their designated jobs.

On average, adult Facelings, without any defects or special cases, stand around a few inches or even feet shorter than an average adult human. This goes for both genders of Facelings, with them standing at an average of around 166 cm (5'5") for males, and around 153 cm (5'5") for females. Generally this isn't significant, however Facelings seem to also be capable of becoming even shorter or taller, however these instances often always have more than one thing wrong about them that always relate to their certain height. For example, taller Facelings have a higher likelihood somewhere in their life to experience extreme growth in their arms. This often causes their arms to be disproportionate to the rest of their body and cause all types of problems when controlling their arms. The opposite can be applied to people who are shorter than average height, with them experiencing extreme growth to compensate for their height. Their legs will reach higher than their arms and become longer than their torso, at around 102 cm (40"). Facelings of lower or higher stature may also have a range of other such defects, such as enlarged limbs, grossly out of proportion heads, smaller or bigger hands or feet, completely missing hands or feet, additional limbs (including only arms), et cetera. People of greater or lower stature also have more of a likelihood for insanity or feralism, due to supposedly lower brain functions and weak mental states due to this. However, talking about Feralism will be reserved for *Behavior.*

## Biology

Facelings don't seem to posses organs or anything inside them at all, they are just skin down to the bone. However the thickness of the skin is so that reaching to the bone, the skin around it around a few inches down is around as strong, if not stronger, than actual bone. This thickness also applies to areas around the entire body, notably in the torso of the entity, the thickness of the skin is so great going farther down that it is practically indestructible.
The only part of the body that seems to mitigate this is the head, which is particularly weaker than the rest of the body, though ironically contains the only organs or parts of the body that aren't just skin. Facelings do indeed have a brain, and a skull to go with that. They also seem to possess eyes, though they aren't the kind of eyes you may be familiar with. More or less, Faceling eyes resemble more of the eyes of small insects like flies, or even arthropods like spiders eyes. They however do not posses a mouth. Though this raises the question of how Facelings are capable to talk -- despite not having a mouth their jaw moves to fit the movement of talking, yet they have no mouth to speak of, nor any vocal chords or even air to breathe. Facelings even breathe, similar to before, they mimic the movement of breathing.

Most aspects other than these few defects, are very similar to humans. Facelings are capable of growing hair all over their body, most prevalently on their face, which actually seems to grow faster and with more hair than actual humans. Some children even are capable of growing full on beards, even some females are capable of this, however it has only been observed during adolescence and never during childhood. Facelings do have some small blood vessels, mainly around areas of the face, hands, feet, and legs. meaning Facelings can bleed. This does however mean that some other parts of their body are very pale due to this lack of blood circulation keeping their bodies warm. Shrinkage in humans can happen during old age, however in old age Facelings seem to actually grow taller than they previously were.
