#backrooms lore

To begin, “Partypooper” is an umbrella term used for many different types of similar entities. I will specifically focus on the most common type, that being “Mimicker” or “Songbird” partypoopers, as they call themselves.

These partypoopers are humanoid in shape, bipedal, and can easily pass as a wanderer if one is not aware of partypoopers at all. They wear hand-crafted blue masks with special film in the eye slots that provide protection from bright or harsh light and vivid colors. Their attire consists typically of a hoodie, sweatpants or jeans, a sweater, sneakers, and gloves, all being either black or a very dark shade of blue or gray. Their hoods are always up and have extra padding on the inside that muffle sound for their ears.

Their bodies are a light blue in color with darker blue freckles covering the face and shoulders primarily. Their hair color often is a darker blue or black, but grows lighter with age, similarly to humans.

Their ears are more animalistic in shape and are far more sensitive to sounds and very receptive to pitch. The eyes are similar to that of a cat or hawk or similar animals with sharp eyesight. It is documented that they can see more shades of color on average than the average human and can see farther in more detail. Their noses are flatter, allowing for their masks to rest more easily against their faces. They also have small fangs, four to be specific, two on top row of teeth and two on the bottom row of teeth.

Both their hands and feet have retractable nails which are kept sharp, though the purpose of them does not seem to be for climbing or defense primarily, as the nails are as strong as a human’s nails. Their fingers are slightly longer on average than a human’s, with the fingers being more thin. The toes are also longer, about twice the length of a human’s, seemingly to help with balance when standing on only part of the foot.

Their lungs are noticeably larger than a human’s, being about 1.5 times larger. As a result, they can hold their breath for longer. Their vocal cords are also more advanced, allowing them to mimic all types of sounds including, but not limited to, voices, animals, instruments, machinery, and noises that can be considered “ambience”. This is where their title of “mimicker” or “songbird” comes from, though it is to be noted that this title is not official.

For height, on average they stand taller than the average human.

In terms of physical anatomy, they lack certain features that humans tend to have, including sex-specific traits like facial hair, larger chests, and the like. Their bodies resemble that of a mannequin in physical attributes. As a result, they are all biologically genderless, with gender being simply an expression and preference they choose for themselves. While some experience romantic attraction, they all are asexual with varying levels of repulsion to sexual things (generally, they are more repulsed than not).

While all partypoopers wear masks with the iconic frown on them, the rest of their appearance may differ. Below are some documented altered appearances. Regardless of how they look, they all cover their entire bodies at all times.

Hoodies may be exchanged for jackets, turtleneck sweaters for scarfs, sweatpants or jeans for skirts and tights/leggings, etc. Some wear boots or dress shoes instead of sneakers. Though entities may not have much variety in their apparel, human partypoopers’ appearances are far more varied.

Some accessorize their appearance for either style or practicality. The great leader of the resistance, Vivace, wore shoulder, elbow, and knee pads as armor, for example. His sister Presto reportedly tore off the sleeves to her hoodie, leaving the sleeves to her sweater exposed. And his other sister, Maestoso, wore something that can only be described as vaguely and partially religious inspired.

Typical hairstyles tend to involve braids and other ways of keeping hair pinned up and out of the way.

I do hope that answers your question, as these are what the most common type of partypooper is. If there is some other knowledge you seek, I and the others will gladly answer to the best of our abilities.
