"What the--" two agents grab guns and run towards the noise

 Insert fennec casually sippin on pain juice “heya boys!”

They step back and half raise their guns. "wh-- do you have identification?"

“I’m Fennec! Pleased to meetcha!” He holds out his hand for a shake with a :] expression

 They lower their weapons, although still looking suspicous. "You a new wanderer?"

The BACKROOMS  Escape from Liminal Reality

THE LEGEND OF THE BACKROOMS

"If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you."

 

So, yeah. I recently got interested in this urban legend, a sort of internet trend, the Backrooms. You probably know what it is. A gargantuan liminal dimension just outside of reality itself, made up of thousands of "levels" and negative levels, prowling with weird and deadly "entities." It started as this random internet post in 2019 and grew from there. I believe others have tried to do Backrooms threads before, but I don't think they got far. I got kinda interested, so I've been reading about the Backrooms, using mainly the wiki. It's actually REALLY cool, I think. So I decided to make this RP thread, where you'll be exploring and fighting your way through the seemingly infinite liminal levels of the Backrooms. ALSO DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED TO READ THIS WHOLE POST IT'S KINDA LONG lol. Just skim over the important parts and join, you'll figure out the rest!

I know you probably have a lot of questions and worries right now, but I'm afraid this is all we can do for you now. The M.E.G is always open to wanderers, but if you ever want even a chance to see the real world again, your only hope is to get to the level known as The End. That's all we know right now. Find the level known as "The Hub." It's the nexus of the backrooms and has doors that lead to every known level, including The End. Here's the catch: the doors are locked, and you'll need to find the keys to open them and escape, which may be scattered across many different levels. Stay alert, never let your guard down, keep your sanity in check at all times!

 

THINGS TO KNOW

- Your main goals: survive and find a way to escape back to reality (which may or may not be possible...)

- PCs and NPCs who noclip into the Backrooms are referred to as "Wanderers."

- As the Backrooms is outside of reality and time themselves, you can really play any type of character from any time period, although I would like to largely keep it to present day humans. If you want to do an exotic race or have a guy from the Medieval age or something, ask a mod.

- In the Backrooms, we refer to reality as the "Frontrooms."

- Sometimes items and other stuff around you noclips with you into the Backrooms. You can have phones, although Wi-Fi only exists on certain levels, and any texts or calls from the Backrooms to the Frontrooms end up as garbled gibberish if they're received at all.

- Also, yes, as this is mostly 21st century, so guess what? Firearms! I'm not saying you can noclip with a bazooka or anything, but yes, you can use firearms, following the rules in chapter 9 of the DMG.

- In the Backrooms, your physical limits are stretched past normal capacity, meaning you starve slower and run faster. Also, any food or drink you find here is... really weird. Nobody knows where it comes from, it's just scattered around the levels. Stuff like "Almond Water," "Moth Jelly," and "Liquid Pain," (don't drink that last one).

- If you're confused, you can find most of the things I'm talking about on the wiki. EXACTLY 0% OF THE LORE AND STUFF IS MINE, just the rules.

- Also, BEWARE OF TEXT WITH AN =) SYMBOL, IT'S BEEN TAMPERED WITH BY THE PARTYGOERS!!!

RULES

- Start in Level 0 of the Backrooms. Either you just noclipped or you're part of one of the groups (see spoiler below).

- Keep it PG-13 (censor swears and stuff, you know the drill).

- Be nice OOC, no arguing!

- Don't attack each other without consent from both people.

- Keep your quote chains cut.

- Go no higher than Level or CR 5.

- Put "Liminal" in your first post to prove you read the rules. ... oR aN =) SyMbOL!

 GROUPS AND CIVILAZTIONS

Sometimes wanderer's band together into groups and clans, either to survive or explore the Backrooms. With mod consent, you can create or join a group. Groups so far:

- The M.E.G (Major Explorer Group)

- A.E.A (Anti-Entity Agency)

- B.I.F (Backrooms Investigation Foundation)

KNOWN ENTITIES

Some of the entities you may go up against!

- Backrooms Bacterias (monsters not actual bacteria)

- The Windows

- Smilers

- Dullers

- Hounds

- Facelings

- Skin-Stealers

- Wretches

- Partygoers =)

KNOWN LEVELS/NOCLIPPING RULE

Here are some of the levels you may noclip through during your explorations, though they all have many "sub-levels" and areas. To travel between levels, it could be as simple as walking through a door or touching an object. You can also try to purposefully clip out of the level and into another. Depending on how unstable the reality is in your area, this could be hard. Roll Charisma, DC 10 + whatever the currant reality stability level is (1 to 10, mods decide). You'll then be sent to a seemingly random level, or, if you're really unlucky or roll a nat 1, you fall into the "Void," in which case R.I.P.

- Level 0 (The Lobby)

- Level 1 (Habitable Zone)

- Level 2 (Pipe Dreams)

- Level 4 (Abandoned Office)

- Level 5 (Terror Hotel)

- Level 7 (Thalassophobia)

- Level 9 (Darkened Suburbs)

- Level 37 (The Poolrooms)

- Level 974 (Kitty's House)

- Level Fun =)

- Level Run for Your Life (!)

- The End

*In the middle of an extremely intense argument between the M.E.G and the ASYNC, and a little loot goblin liminally thieving around, a teenaged boy falls through the cieling and lands flat on his face. He is wearing an orange shirt with blue cat paw patterns, and ripped jeans. He has a backpack on, and is wearing thick orange glasses.*

EDIT: I forgot. =).

Teenage Boy: "Uhh... hello... If I'm correct, this isn't Venice Beach anymore."

A second later, another teenage boy falls through the ceiling, but lands on his feet. He's wearing a hoodie with a picture of a band no one's heard about since the 90's, scuffed grey jeans and a Japanese fox mask and is holding a camcorder in his hands. 

"Uhh... hello. Sorry about him, he tends to do that. I'm Orrin and he's Declan.

I'm... uhh... I'm just going to... find a way... out... of here... possibly... finding a way... out... of a place... where... people who... definitely don't... look like they... want to be here... are stuck in. Great."

*the first guy stands up* Shut up, Orrin.
