Kane's Backrooms

The Complex's Room can never be flesh texture, aside from a room filled with made up of The Growth nests, or a dirty, lived in room.

The Complex's Entities aren't common, they are more likely uncommon than common.

The Complex's Still Lifes can sometimes be passive, and not always aggressive.

The Complex doesn't necessarily have traps, other than ones thats are set up by human.

The Complex doesn't shows thats its alive, only instances like, flickering or tuning on and off lights, creating the green glows, turning on its own generated music.

This Found Footage documents a civilian named Ravi and his discoveries in the Backrooms after falling in, including a hostile creature shaped like a human. The tape starts off with short clips from a carnival before the person watching the tape fast-forwards. We then see Ravi talking about his experience rewatching footage he recorded and overhearing a Monsanto executive joking with a DPR manager and making fun of a sick kid. he soon reach his home, calling to make sure if someone was checking out the downstairs of his house, where he had overheard loud noises. Ravi then goes down to investigate and finds that someone has possibly broken into the house. He first checks the closet, but finds no one. Later on, he discovers a hole in the wall of his basement leading to a green glow. Just then, the lights begin to flicker before Ravi is knocked into the Backrooms. Finding himself in a classroom-type space, he attempts to find an exit. He leads himself in and out of various random rooms and halls that senselessly connect to each other, following an exit sign and reaching a dirty room that appears lived in. He hears a sound coming from an dark hall to his right, followed by a low growl. he backs out of the room, continuing to hear the growls, before shutting the door. The creature then, attempts to break the door from its hinges, at which point Ravi flees through a skywalk, crossing over The Red City before continuing further into the Backrooms. He finds a radio transmitter and attempts to call for help. he then caught a police chatter, though he quickly realized the source is from where he had heard the growl, fearing another encounter with it, he begins to run back when a creature chased him from a room with speakers. He escapes through a crawlspace and blocks the entrance as the pursuing creature is about to get to him. Sometime later, Ravi talks to the camera, He talks to his friends, stating that he just wanted to go home before the camera's battery's finally ran out

This Found Footage documents the discoveries by an unidentified female as she experiments with a strange portal and her exploration of the Backrooms. The video opens with her setting up a camera over a spot on the ground of her garage marked with painters tape. She demonstrates, rather than explaining, by dumping a bunch of wood chips onto the spot and observing them vanishing through the floor. After dusting off the tape, she repeats the test with a baseball, which also vanishes and causes a noticeable tape distortion. As the protagonist continues her tests, she brings over a large bag full of baseballs and a clock and proceeds to test the anomaly with a measuring tape. When it reaches 28-29 inches, she notes feeling it vibrate and this vibration gets picked up by the camera. Suddenly the anomaly expands, causing her, the camera, tripod, clock and bag of balls to fall into the Backrooms. As the protagonist gets her bearings and proceeds to explore, she finds usual hallways before coming across a dark room. She flees and returns to the hole and leaps down it; though, hearing the roars, continues fleeing as the creature appears to still be following her. The protagonist comes across several odd areas, including one appearing like a swimming pool, before slipping into a narrow corridor that ends up leading to a dead end. She prays for a bit, hoping that the creature will continue on. Suddenly, glowing green cracks start to appear, causing her to shout before the footage ends on a blue screen with "no signal" leaving Async questioning the strange cracks.

"The Backrooms (Found Footage)", also also commonly known as "Found Footage #1" (abbreviated as FF1) It stars Kane Pixels, a teenager who falls into the Backrooms and an entity follows him on his way to escape. On a street in Novato, California, Kane Pixels and his friends are recording a short film, with him being the cameraman. When the director asks him to take a wider angle, Kane backs up, trips, and noclips into the Backrooms. After wandering for a while, he discovers something stalking him, but the creature hides. Kane finds arrows drawn on the walls that guide him to a wall covered in drawings and writing. One phrase on the wall reads "don't move stay still." Suddenly, the creature that had been stalking Kane reveals itself and charges him. Kane, after fleeing from the monster, escapes through a hole in the ground that leads him to a different area of the Backrooms. While wandering, Kane finds a fire exit that leads him back into the area which he started at. Shortly after, the Lifeform finds him again, and Kane must flee again. He ends up in a narrow hallway that ends with an angled square hole in the ground. Kane hesitates to jump, and the Lifeform attacks him, picking him up and lifting him, making him let go of the camera. The camera then falls through the hole and ends up in the sky before landing in a suburban neighborhood. The footage is presumably discovered on September 23, 1996 (which are completely different time from when Kane first falls back in, which we can see the dates on the film clapperboard is July 4, 1991, which is a terrifying time gaps of: 5 years, 2 months, and 19 days, yikes😬.)

Tiled Pool Area of the Backrooms is a space made up of white ceramic tiles and swimming pools. Not much has been documented about this area. It looks to resemble an indoor pool, with the walls, floors, and ceiling being made out of the same white ceramic tiles. The water in the area is murky and likely not safe to consume.

The Christmas Tree Room is a location in the Backrooms discovered by Clark. The main room contains a Christmas Tree in the middle, surrounded by humanoid figures (mannequins) clipped in the floor. There would be an entrance to a bigger room. This more giant room would contain a lot of decorations, such as Christmas string lights, candy canes, presents, and other Christmas related items. There would be a small portion of this room with its lights on, leading to the Tiled Pool Area. Feliz Navidad!

Robert "Bobby" Franklin is a camera operator who presumably films all of Clark’s advertisements and the boyfriend of Kathrine Taylor. Bobby is a young, muscular Caucasian man with short blonde hair and blue eyes. He has at least one earlobe pierced, and is never seen without a silver pendant necklace. Like his girlfriend Kat, he seems to have a fondness for cropped T-shirts. He wears a white one printed with the slogan “End Apartheid” to film the Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire commercial, accompanied by light wash jeans, an orange belt, and black sneakers. Bobby wears a similar outfit for his venture into the Backrooms: A plainer white T-shirt, baggy dark green shorts, and a silver-studded belt. He also occasionally sports a pair of orange sunglasses. He's killed by The Pirate.

Kathrine "Kat" Taylor is the assistant manager at Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire and the girlfriend of Bobby Franklin. Kat is a young Indonesian American woman with short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. She has a number of piercings in her ears, and is never seen without winged eyeliner and a multicolor bead bracelet on her left wrist. While shooting the Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire Commercial, Kat wears a boxy turquoise T-shirt printed with what appears to be a sunset on a tropical beach, drab cargo shorts, and black flip-flops. During Clark's "research", she is seen wearing a black zipper hoodie, light wash denim cutoff shorts, and a dark blue crop-top with white trim. Like her boyfriend Bobby, she appears to have a penchant for silver jewelry, accessorizing with a pair of charm necklaces and rings. She's assumed deceased.

The Red Outdoors of the Backrooms is a section that is generally known for its red lighting and its attempts to mimic outdoor areas from reality. This area creates the illusion of an outdoor environment with fake "skyboxes", as shown in Found Footage #3 with the skywalks in the Red City going through flat "sky walls". This could imply that the stars in the Red Outdoors are lights powered by electricity. The area also supposedly contains vegetation in the form of trees and presumably shrubs. Streets are shown to cross both the Red Neighborhood and the Red City, making it likely that the two areas connect.

The Red Neighborhood, also known as Room 14D-22B by Async, is the name given to a red-lit neighborhood in the Backrooms that can be accessed through one of the pits in Room 14D. It was found by Async researcher Marvin E. Leigh after he fell down a pit in Room 14D. This area is presumed to be linked to the Red City. The neighborhood's sky appears similar to a skybox from a video game, enclosing the neighborhood below Room 14D. Nearly everything in the neighborhood is illuminated red by an unseen light source, thus the name Red Neighborhood. Inside one of the houses is a room with inverted turn signs. Continuing to go forward, there are supplies likely left by a wanderer and a large corridor that has the architecture of the Common Backrooms.

The Speaker Room is a location in the Backrooms that is part of the Foreign Music Area. As implied by the name, the room contains speakers playing what is theorized to be music created by the Backrooms. The Speaker Room's architecture is comprised of white walls with oak flooring. The room has mirror on the left wall, several Thomann PA speakers,[1] wires, a large rotating ceiling fan, and three passages. An exit sign points in the direction of the Recording Studio, which contains instruments that are connected to the speakers. The room was discovered by Ravi, after he tried searching for a signal with a radio in the Recording Studio, the music playing on the speakers stopped, with a "phone call" from another room being heard instead.

The Red City is the name given to a red-lit city in the Backrooms. It has an environment that is identical and likely linked to that of the Red Neighborhood below Room 14D. The area appears to be enclosed within a giant skybox (similar to that of a video game). It contains the same type of street and trees as seen in the Red Neighborhood with another distorted turn sign that is abnormally large. On each building, the windows appear to be textured on, another detail similar to a video game. The same red lighting and repetitive garbled noises from the Red Neighborhood are also present here. At least three Areas of the Backrooms are known exist within this area: the Maintenance Area, Conference Office Area and Foreign Music Area.

These are lists and how they look of most iconic rooms, in The Complex that was foun by Async, and victim that had been discovered after entering (and never leaving) The Complex:

14D: Room 14D is an area within the Complex known for its square-shaped pits in the floor. It was first discovered by a team of Async researchers, The same organization later built a pathway to the door at the end of the room; in doing so, they blocked off about half of the room's pits. This is the fourth room in Division 14 of the Main Chamber.

Throne Room: The Throne Room is a location in the Backrooms discovered by Clark during his first time exploring The Backrooms, The room contains a pair of black lace-up hiker-boots, black and crimson flip-flop sandals, an aqua-blue plastic bird, and a medieval throne (all half-clipped into the carpet). The back-side of the Throne Room has a 3.28 square-feet (1 square-metre) canal in the top-left. The right-side has a 6.56 feet (2 metre) in height rectangular frustum (truncated triangular pyramid) bevel leading to a small maple brown trapdoor that has three brass doorknobs. The floor has a 3 square-feet (≈1 square-metre) canal full of craftsman chairs.

Vertigo Room: The Vertigo Room is a large atrium-type location in the Backrooms. It was discovered by Mary Kline while she was being chased by Pirate Clark. The Vertigo Room is accessible from a maple brown door and is a large atrium-type chamber that has a large rectangular prism chasm in the centre spanning 20+ visible rooms. The carpeting, wall trim, wallpaper, fluorescent lighting, air diffusers, and electrical outlets are all similar to the Common Backrooms. On the left-side of the topmost floor is a 4 feet (1.2 metre) in-width unsupported no-handrail staircase into a door in the drop ceiling.

Project KV31 is a dimensional and electromagnetic engineering program developed by the Async Research Institute in the 1980s to create limitless storage and residential space using the highly experimental Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System. The project was led by Async Vice Director Ivan Beck and funded by the U.S. government, specifically the Department of Energy. It was based at the Async Research Facility in San José, California. The project is also known as "The Machine", "The Door", "The Back Rooms", "The Complex", and "Hallways" around Async. On June 18, 1988, the Async Research Facility presumably tested it's Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System for the first or second time. The program was partly successful on October 17, 1989, when, during the sixth test of the Project KV31 hardware, a vast complex of rooms appeared beyond the Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System threshold. The project's goal from that point on appeared to be the documentation and exploration of the new space, with a plan to make it safe for future use. However, the Complex presented a significant danger to Async employees and members of the general public alike, with missing persons cases rising rapidly after the 1989 test [Missing Persons]; the fabric of reality had seemingly been damaged and it became possible to fall into the Complex through solid ground.

The Complex's Environments are extremely complex (no pun intended) it's unknown if it's architecture have any reasons for being so weird, these architecture includes;

Walls:
Common Arrows Dsc161 Wallpaper
Dotted Dsc161 Wallpaper
Stripes Dsc161 Wallpaper
Dark Navy Blue Wallpaper
White Wallpaper.

Floors:
Common Yellow Carpet
Marbles Floor
Carpet with square holes, only the carpet between the holes could be used to walk across, and balance.

Ceilings:
Common White Square Ceiling Titles
White Square Ceiling with almost no lights.

Light:
Common Light
Light Bulb
Lamp

Rooms Type:
Leaning Room, A Type of strange room that sometimes lean only around 35 to 40 degree, or sometimes even fully 90 degrees, which makes the wall the floors, the ceiling, the walls.

Open Space, A big rooms thats mostly filled with furnitures thats either copy from the real world, and furnitures crabs.

Copy, Copy are a types of place that are copied from the real world (again, no pun intended) these copies rooms can be found with example like, Cap'n Clark Ottoman Empire store, and existing exit from the copy sometimes lead to more rooms, or just wall.

Furnitures:
Sonetimes working and non-working Television
Sofas
Lamp
Table
Stool
Trash Bin
Paintings
Streetlights
Drawers
etc.

Ravi who, like others shown before him, fell into the Backrooms and used his camera to document his explorations. his footage that he had documents during the time he was in The Backrooms was soon recovered, Ravi status is unknown, either deceased or alive, somewhere in The Complex. Ravi had also met an unknown Still Life which immediately chased after him when they met, though it quickly losed him after he blocked off a path way he crawl through.

Kane Pixels is an filmmaker who went missing on July 4, 1991 when he fell into the Backrooms. On July 4th, 1991, Kane along with a small film crew were filming a short movie on a backstreet. After finishing a successful shot, Director Matesse Aaron decided that they should get a wide angle, and Kane, acting as the cameraman backed up. While doing so, he suddenly fell and noclipped into the Backrooms. Upon regaining consciousness, Kane grabbed his camera and can be heard calling out and asking if anybody else was there. In the distance, something dark can be made out on the wall. When Kane gets closer, it is revealed that these are seemingly painted arrows, pointing to a set of drawings which include a window with a sun, a pair of eyes, and some writing. The only text that can be made out underneath the drawings reads "don't move stay still." Kane zooms up close to the text with the camera and zooms out again, before distorted "trumpeting" can be heard to his left. He turns the camera, and sees the Lifeform charging at him from the end of the hall. Kane turns around to run and the footage cuts again. Kane immediately started running as a loud howling or wailing sound could be heard along with a rhythmic thumping. Kane found a small gap in the wall that he could fit through. He slipped through the gap into a smaller hall and watched a lifeform slowly walk past. Kane then turned back to follow the hallway, which led to a square hole in the floor that he looked down into. Kane then turned back around to find the Lifeform right in front of him. It made a loud, distorted noise and grabbed him as his camera fell down the hole. After some time wandering the hallways, Kane was captured and presumably killed by the Lifeform. His camera, which was recording the entire time, fell out of the Backrooms into the sky above a suburban area. The footage was later recovered in 1996. It is currently unknown if the Lifeform killed him, though it is very likely that he is deceased.

Temporal Anomalies have been documented numerous times in connection with the Backrooms. Time appears to function differently there than in the real world, often resulting in the discovery of objects and structures originating from both the past and the future. Null Zones may also create a link between the Backrooms and a random point in time after the Threshold has been opened, effectively enabling Time Travel. However, in some instances, it remains unclear whether Null Zones are truly responsible for these anomalies.

The Disappearance of Peter Tench:
While on an expedition with two other researchers, Peter Tench was sent two months into the future (from March 1st to May 8th, 1990) while examining noises coming from a corridor. He traced his way back to the Threshold and triggered an alarm system inside the outpost, leaving him puzzled.

Ravi's Recovered Footage:
Within the Backrooms, Ravi saw a flyer promoting a 2022 health screening at USC Arcadia Hospital in Arcadia, California. This flyer was seen on a wall near the Speaker Room, even though Ravi is believed to have entered the Backrooms around April 19, 1995. When Ravi speaks to the Unidentified Father, a commercial for FreeCreditReport.com can be faintly heard on a TV, specifically the commercial "Renaissance faire", which aired from 2007 to 2009, meaning the man Ravi is speaking to is from the late 2000's. who, like others shown before him, fell into the Backrooms and used his camera to document his explorations.

Almost all instances of time travel can possibly be explained by Null Zones (this doesn't mean it was certainly caused by them). However, the time travel experienced by Peter Tench is different. Normally, Null Zones have to be between the Backrooms and the real world, but Tench only traveled in time, not place. He was still in the Backrooms after time traveling. Additionally, he was standing still while this happened. Tench didn't walk through a wall or fall through the floor.

The KV31 Prototype was a device tested by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the supervision of Philip R. Heymann on May 10th, 1982. Roughly six years after, a room-size model of the system was build by the Async Research Facility. Just before the test, a spherical object is shown in the center of the prototype. The machine then proceeds to blast the object using electromagnetic energy, creating a yellowish glow. The sphere remained in the center once the test was complete.

Anthony Dawkins is a high-ranking member of the Async Research Institute with level 09 access clearance. Anthony Dawkins met a research team consisting of Marvin E. Leigh, Mark Blume, George Levy, and Kim. He appeared concerned, implying that he may have been aware of the incident of Marvin encountering an unknown creature prior to their arrival.

Naren Warne was an employee of the Async Research Institute who worked as a field operations engineer. Naren and his team discover a room with signs displaying a strange pattern. He then helps conduct a survey on the signs, where they ended up cutting into one of the walls to try and discover a another sign. Though, in the process, they discover a new area of the Complex. While exploring it, however, Naren and his team are ambushed by a pirate-dressed figure. In the midst of this, he is separated from the others and is later seen frantically trying to find his way back to Standard, but is eventually killed by the same figure.

The Green Glow is a mysterious green light that appears at random in the Backrooms. Theories state that it correlates with altering the layout of the Backrooms. It's implied that the Green Glow manipulates and forms from electromagnetic waves. While the aftermath of this isn't fully confirmed, the glow seems to warp and distort textures and possibly change the layouts of areas.

The Sun in Splendor Pictures are objects found in the Backrooms. The term "sun in splendour" is a heraldic charge denoting a sun drawn with a human face surrounded by rays, historically used as the badge of Edward IV and the House of York — the same faced-sun form as the Sol de Mayo on the Argentine and Uruguayan flags. It's yet still unknown why The Complex choose this specific painting and decides to place it around everywhere.

The Caveman Cutouts are cardboard cutouts set up by Async within the Complex. They are often used as bait for the entities lurking within it for research purposes. The cutouts depict a caveman holding a stick in his right hand. The caveman has a thick beard, long hair, and a grass-type skirt. It appears to have a Mircom IS-804A intercom panel hooked to its chest, with a cord leading to the CCTV-monitored room. These intercoms continuously replay the "Greetings in 55 Languages" audio from the Voyager Golden Records.

Lawrence Altman is a physicist who is the founder and director of Async Research Institute, serving in this capacity since 1983. Little else is known about him.

Ivan Beck is the vice director of the cooperation Async, not much is known about him either.

The Bearded Still Life is a minor Still Life entity. This Still Life is a copy of a corpulent, older white-beared man with white hair. This creature wears a white shirt with blue, pink, beige, and red stripes. However, its face has six eyes and three overlapping noses. The buttons and collar on its shirt also appear to have been duplicated and offset toward the right, though the actual neck hole and opening where buttons should be appear to be in the same position.

This Still Life is based off of Archibald Leland Sutter, He appear to be a Caucasian male sitting in a wheelchair. His wears a high starched collar, a black suit jacket, with a black bowtie. His face has stubble across it, and his right eye is raised noticeably high above his left, this placement making his head much taller then it would normally be. His body is fused to his wheelchair, his legs are multiplied to be three, are intersecting through the base of the chair and making it so only his upper torso is visible, his legs falling off at some point. Connected to his right hand is a floor lamp, with an ornate red lampshade decorated with fringe, which he can turn on and off by pulling its switch with his right hand. Aside from turning his lamp on or off, Archibald is seemingly completely comatose and incapable of moving anything else but his right arm, head and torso. It can also be inferred that it is in some ways malevolent. His wheelchair isn't actually a real wheelchair, but rather a chair with its front legs removed and 2 large wooden wheels on the front of it. unable to move on his own due to the lacks of wheels or legs, he could only be moved around by having someone to move him, with Clark being that person. Archibald (presumably) could speak through Morse codes by usuing his lamps light.

This Still Life is alive.

The Redheaded Still Life is a minor Still Life entity. It appears as a tall female woman resembling Barbara. It has an overlapping face, red hair styled in a bob, and wears a red blazer/coat with inconsistently scattered buttons, black stockings and black heels. Her face appears horizontally stretched, with seven noses and three eyes, one covered by skin, and five mouthes which stretch across to the ears. In her eyes which are visible, she also appears to have grey coloured irises. While Clark was wandering the Backrooms, he discovered a dark room with a single lit Christmas tree in the middle with a red glow. After Archibald Leland Sutter Still Life lit a lamp, the Redheaded Still Life charged at Clark, chasing him with an awkward, stiff gait, holding her head with her right hand.

Marvin E. Leigh is a member of the Async Research Institute who works in the Project KV31 division. He is known for surviving multiple hostile encounterments in the Complex, including one with the Lifeform and one with his former colleague, Peter Tench. Leigh was last heard being persuaded by George Levy to take time off of work after a heated argument about how Async and the DOE handled Peter. Occupat as a Researcher, and Camera Operator. On March 1st 1990, Marvin, along with George Levy, Ronald McCarthy and Peter Tench, were sent to map out more of the Complex. Though while doing so, the team soon realized that they had lost track of Peter Tench while traversing a branch of hallways, which is an accident that would soon cause a domino effect. Marvin E. Leigh, Aliases as Marv. Marvin is Married.

Dr. Peter Tench is a former member of the Async Research Institute who worked in their Project KV31 division. He worked as a camera operator before he was separated from his group and transported to May 8th in Informational Video. According to Async, he was found deceased on the hillside near the Async Research Facility.

His Disappearance:
As the camera operator of his team. He walks with the team through the Backrooms, before reaching a corridor. He hears sounds in a room to the right of the corridor, and goes to investigate. As he turns back to rejoin the team, the camera glitches out, indicating his time travel to May 8th from February 29th. He goes back into the corridor, confused. He shouts and calls out for George and Marvin. Worried, he frantically runs down and searches for his fellow researchers. Peter continues to search for them before stumbling upon a room with an unknown substance on the floor and later the Cottage-Forest Area. He continues to wander around the Backrooms before discovering the Threshold Outpost. He unlocks the door to it, however, because the gateway to the Backrooms was sealed, he triggers the motion sensors in the room, sounding an alarm. Peter soons have a Reunion with his old friends, attacking Mark Blume and taking his gun. He holds the team at gunpoint while trying to figure out how many researchers are present. Based on his behavior and his line about "them" taking his life from him, referencing Async faking his death after his disappearance in Informational Video. Despite Marvin's pleas to stop, Peter shoots Mark after he radios in for armed backup, critically injuring him. It appears that Peter still trusts Marvin as he instructs him to tell people the truth, stating that "they need to know," before running away. After attacking Mark Blume with his Remington 870, he makes his way back to the Threshold and turns the weapon on nearby researchers before running away.

Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire is a pirate-themed furniture store run by Clark. Inside the basement of the store, he finds a Null Zone bringing him to the Backrooms. Cap'n Clark is located at the United States, Region
Santa Clara Valley, State of California. Around May 17th, 1990, the entire store is shown to be on sale, implying that it'd been consistently struggling with attracting customers and staying in business. On June 29th, 1990, a Null Zone to the Backrooms appeared on one of the walls in the store's basement. Upon first entering it, Clark obsessed over this strange new dimension and went in every night since. At some point, he marked the spot of the Null Zone using blue tape. It's shown that Clark has been bringing objects from the Backrooms into the store's basement, such as restaurant chairs, an inverted stop sign, and wind chimes. He had also been trying to map out the Backrooms, as shown with a pile of drawings and the whiteboard seen in the basementeveral things from the store were shown to have been replicated by the Backrooms. Cap'n Clark Store numbers is (408) 357-2875.

Furniture Crabs are a types of entities in The Backrooms which was found by Async. Furniture Crabs appears to look like any type of furnitures, going from tables, to television and more, they seems like furnitures, but in reality, they are alive, with the ability to move, the Furniture Crabs have brains, muscle, bones, and joint, no mouth, ears, or any eyes visible, though they are alive. Async has only found at least 5 to 6 one of these entities. Not much is known about these entities, no information about how they actually stayed alive. The Furniture Crabs are extremely rare to find, consider yourself lucky if you find one, most Furniture Crabs aren't aggressive, if one walk near you, it's mostly because they are curious.

Dr. Mary Kline is an author and psychologist who is the therapist of furniture store owner Clark. Occupant as a Psychologist. Mary Kline is a slender Caucasian woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair and brown eyes. She dresses in business casual attire typical of the early 90s—blazers with large shoulder-pads, tailored trousers, and long skirts. She appears to have a liking for blouses with bold patterns such as paisley. When she investigates Clark’s disappearance, she wears a short-sleeved collared shirt with a pastel watercolor pattern, high-waisted olive green pants, and a brown leather belt with matching slip-on loafers. Mary occasionally puts her hair up in a ponytail leaving two strands out to frame her face. Both on and off of work, Mary retains her thin gold wristwatch and heart pendant necklace. As a child, Mary was raised by her mother, who at some point became paranoid with schizophrenic delusions, keeping them locked in their house, barricading the doors, and covering all the windows with newspaper. Eventually, her mother was institutionalized, while Mary was left traumatized by the experience. Years later, Mary has become a successful therapist and book author, but is still haunted by her past. After observing the demolition of her childhood home in favor of a housing complex, Mary retrieves her handprint she had left in the concrete outside as a child and leaves. Mary Kline is characterized as an optimistic therapist concerned with the mental wellbeing of her patients. She seemingly spent most of her childhood locked indoors by her extremely paranoid mother, Nora, and as a result, Mary grew up wanting to help people overcome their mental barriers in order to prevent them ending up like her mother. This is demonstrated when she took the time to search for Clark after losing contact with him, traveling to his store, Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire, and willing to brave the unknown in order to save his mind.

Clark was the struggling owner of Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire and a failed architect. he unexpectedly finds a hidden doorway in his store's basement, behind which is the Backrooms, an endless labyrinth of rooms and hallways. Clark quickly becomes obsessed with the place, and tries figuring out more and more about it. However, this desire only ends up harming those around him, including his only employees. Upon realizing his mistakes, but still deciding to stay the way he is. Clark gets abruptly killed in the hands of his Still Life copy. Clark is an African-American man with short black hair, a beard, and brown eyes. Most of the time, he is shown wearing casual business clothing, such as dress shirts, slacks, jeans, Oxford shoes, and a watch. He is known to don a pirate outfit whilst filming commercials for his furniture store. Before June 1990, Clark lived with his wife Barbara, a senior college student studying to become a lawyer. Clark paid for her college fees when they were together as the breadwinner of the relationship, being the owner of a furniture store called Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire and an aspiring architect, though this slowly caused Clark to harbour resentment towards his wife. One late night, Clark came home drunk and accidentally broke a glass in the kitchen, which then caused an argument with his wife, Barbara, resulting in him being kicked out of his own house. With nowhere to go, he ended up living inside his store temporarily and sleeping on the display beds. After being kicked out, Clark began seeking therapy and was placed under Dr. Mary Kline, who tries to help him improve as a person and make him understand why his wife kicked him out.

Pirate Clark, also simply known as the Pirate by Async and commonly Captain Clark or Cap'n Clark. He is a flawed Still Life copy of Clark in his store's commercial pirate costume and a physical manifestation of Clark's deepest regrets and hatred for his failing business. Pirate Clark is the Backrooms' flawed attempt at recreating Clark. Standing at roughly 7.7 to 8 feet (2.34 metres) tall, Pirate Clark wears a teal-turquoise long-sleeve button-up with large collars, which is a direct replica of the shirt used by Clark while filming the commercial for Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire. However, this one has black stains on the shoulder. Over this, he wears a long beige vest of sort, with a black belt over it. And over that belt is a purple-ish sash alongside dark-brown pants. On one leg is a white crew-high sock, and a brown Oxford shoe. On his other leg is an amber wooden peg leg; among the inconsistencies is that it appears to be a furniture chair leg — the same one that Clark sat on and broke in his filming advertisement. Both his left and right hand has eight fingers. His left hand has four brass redgem rings and his right hand has three brass bluegem rings. On his head is a tricorne pirate hat and two feathers. His face is malformed due to his right eye being elevated about half an inch (1.27 centimetres) from his left — the right having no eyebrow. His nose is bent and duplicated three times to the left. He also has two tongues and a doubled row of bottom teeth. A shoe is fused to Pirate Clark's lower back. He is also seen to have some kind of internal circulatory, and cardiovascular system. Pirate Clark appears to have been conceived during the filming of one of the commercials for Clark's Furniture Store, judging by his outfit. He presumably spent weeks wandering the Backrooms until making contact with and killing Async researcher. Pirate Clark is a physical copy of Clark, the troubled store owner whose mental health has declined.

The Still Lifes that was found, or encountered includes:

The Pirate/Pirate Clark

Redheaded Still Life

Archibald Leland Sutter Still Life

Beard Still Life

And other Unknown Still Lifes.

Still Lifes are edible. Async is only aware of one Still Life: Pirate Clark, they haven't found anymore.

The Growth is hravily implied to be a biofilm of a microbial microcosm of mutated hay bacillus in The Backrooms. It is theorised to be the composition of the Lifeform. It can be founded in a dark, and deep of The Backrooms, noticeably being a tendrils-like or veiny black, or deep red strings that spreads out in their nests, The Growth also can be seens under the walls board, seeping through somes rooms in The Backrooms. wanderers that had accidentally enter The Backrooms, can be founded with tons of hay bacillus, or The Growths, filled inside their bodies, and apparently "stealing their nutrients."

The Backrooms, also known as The Complex (more commonly) or Hallways by Async, is an anomalous dimension comprised of seemingly endless rooms and hallways that attempt to mimic real world areas. They were accessed during the sixth test of the Project KV31 Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System by Async in 1989. The Complex, the home and Inhabitant by The Lifeform, Still Lifes, Living Furniture, and any other Organisms trapped within it. The true scale of the Backrooms is not yet known. The dimension is at least comparable to a very large city in scale, but is likely far larger. The rooms and hallways (and their contents) do not conform to human building conventions and are, in some areas, seemingly physically impossible. The Backrooms contain objects, environments, and even people from the real world, but they are fundamentally distorted. Objects might exist without a clear function or appear entirely out of context. They can be stretched, be the wrong size, or be the wrong orientation. Some objects may also be partly clipped into surfaces or other objects, while the environments twist familiar architecture into illogical, repetitive configurations.

A tons of instincts have shown that The Complex have tried to replicate humans music before, with one during Ravi's Recovered Footage which recorded a distorted music playing softly from somewhere.

Still Lifes are mysterious, unpredictable entities native to the Backrooms. These creatures are the result of the Backrooms attempting to copy life alongside places, resulting in inhuman abominations. As such, they don't seem to think like humans at all, making their behavior difficult to anticipate. Still Lifes also display unusual hunting behavior. For example, a Still Life may repeatedly switch the lights on and off while pursuing its victim, seemingly using the darkness to intimidate or disorient them. It also appears unable, or unwilling, to operate doors normally, instead knocking repeatedly before attempting to force its way through. Some doors in the Backrooms have been barricaded with chairs, possibly caused by Still Lifes. This behavior may indicate limited intelligence, poor fine motor skills, or simply another method of psychologically tormenting its prey. The Still Lifes' aggressive behavior may be linked to the Backrooms' tendency to warp and distort anything it replicates. The Still Lifes are the creation of the Backrooms attempting to sequence humans and copy them into the Complex.[1] This differs from the widely accepted origin of the Lifeform, which is presumed to originate from a mutated strand of simple hay bacillus. However, their unpredictable nature is still reminiscent of that of the Lifeform, as it pursues its victims on sight and makes loud, disturbing noises once it catches up to them. Additionally, it is likely that they establish dens within the Backrooms where they usually gather things they discover or people they kill. Uniquely, their behavior can also be influenced by the person the Backrooms is trying to copy. An example of this, where Clark, who is extremely narcissistic, was aggressive and abusive towards his ex-wife, his behavior was passed directly to his Still Life, Pirate Clark, who is violent and much more aggressive than the other Still Lifes.

The Lifeform, better known by the name The Bacteria, Is a species of hostile, bacterial entities native to The Backrooms. Not much is known about them, as they are elusive creatures that have only been encountered a fews times by lost wanderer or Async researchers. Most of Lifeforms entities stand very tally, at presumably 11 feet tall, or in the metric system: 3.35 meters, easily able to tower over any normal human if standing fully upright. They often feature two long, arm-like limbs which extend down to the ground, thin, skinny fingers, and a slim, vine-like anatomy, akin to a tangle of black wires-like in a humanoid shape. The entity can bend it's torso forward quite a bit, although this isn't all the time. The Lifeform entities are implied to consist of unified colonies of extremely mutated hay bacillus (The Growth). It's almost unnoticeable, but these creatures aren't actually black. they appear to be black. However they are a deep, dark fleshy-red type of color. The Lifeform entities appear to wander aimlessly throughout the Backrooms, and it is unknown if they have a concept of territory, or even any conscious thought at all. When inactive, some entities appear in secluded areas forming some kind of nest with tendrils similar to those making up their body, and can be awoken by humans wandering into these areas, or making too much noises. They're presumably to be born from a nest of Growth.

The Async Research Institute, also known as the Async Foundation or simply Async, is a private research institute based in San José, California. Hardly any information is known about it. Founded
at 1983. with its Founders: Lawrence Altman. Ivan Beck (vice director.) Async are allies with the United States Department of Energy. Prior to Project KV31, Async specialized in developing MRI machines. However, this was discontinued once they opened a doorway to the Complex. Sometime around April 1988, Async began development on Project KV31, a program that promised to solve all current and future storage and residential needs and saving billions on property construction and management, as stated in The Third Test. In order to execute this, Async constructed the Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System, a room-sized machine that serves as the centerpiece of the KV31 program, featuring a doorway known as "the Threshold". On July 2nd, 1988, the Async Research Facility tested the full version of the magnetic distortion system for the third time. By the time of the sixth test on October 17, 1989, Async successfully made first contact with what they'd refer to as the Complex. In the upcoming months, Async installed an airlock in front of the Threshold, which would shortly be removed, and sent hazmat-suited researchers to investigate the Complex dimension. However, as they continued venturing into this unknown dimension, more and more problems arose, such as the discovery of people falling into the Backrooms, time skips, an unnatural bacterial lifeform, and disfigured imitations of human beings. The term "Async" is an abbreviation of "asynchronous," which is generally defined as two or more objects or events not existing or happening concurrently. Whether this information is relevant to the organization is unknown.
