Hello hello partypeoples! BIG BIG LORE POST ABOUT MEDICINE AND JOKE YAAAAY!!! andddd I wanted to let you know that Joke and Medicine have artfight profiles with this lore as well!! And if you'd like to follow me on artfight so I can GET YOU you should :3!
Entity 67-███ better known as Joke. Joke was turned into a partygoer in quite the unfortunate situation being in a near death situation with mortal injuries a partygoer by the name of Carnival bit and injected venom causing her transformation before she completely lost blood. Whoever Joke was before her transformation into partygoer ███ has either been suppresed or completely erased due to her now merged consciousness with the phobic centipede that she shares a body and mind with.
Joke is the leader of her group of partygoers and for good reason. When she was fully transformed she adapted incredibly quickly to the hierarchy of her pack eventually becoming the leader by mauling the last leader due to a spat that turned incredibly violent as well as making an example of anyone else who challenged her. Joke is a fair leader however and she never acts without good reason and she doesn't let her pack's specific partyhost intimidate her she would be willing to kill the host if it got in the way of her personal goals.
Joke is incredibly different depending on the being shes speaking to, but it is still her genuine self when she speaks. To other partygoers Joke is often blunt and very uncaring she keeps conversations short as she doesn't care for meaningless yammering the exception to this would be Carnival who is her best friend. To wanderers she doesn't try to act innocent she often speaks with a condescending tone and mocking edge in her voice finding amusement in the various interactions they can give her. Joke finds it difficult to control her urges to consume or infect wanderers when she hasn't had a meal in a while and it is frustrating for her as she considers herself above her instincts to an extent. To what she considers a minor pest and not a long time enemy(due to not experiencing the fun war) partypoopers are just more fun prey to her most of the time. at other times they make her irrationally angry or violent and in that scenario she flees or attempts to maul the offending person. Joke's hunting behavior usually includes stalking and messing with the prey to wear them down mentally so she can catch them off guard.
As for other things! Joke is incredibly fashionable and that is one of the few traits she retains from her old human self. often dressing in layered pastel clothing and covering the scars on her body with various things. Joke is also very talented at sewing and occasionally makes things for practice or for Carnival. She also a talented singer! Her voice has a surprising range.
I think i have a right to talk about myself… so ill do the rest for you =)
Age: Old enough to drink ← She’s about 26 now since the transformation
Pronouns: I don’t care anything works but wanderers tend to default to he while others of my kind use she.
Entity 68-███ "Medicine" is a partypooper who was there before, during, and after the fun war. They are a doctor experienced in many fields but they specialize in surgery and of course medicine, making their own for personal use and for wanderers. They are jaded against partygoers going as far to capture and experiment on them unethically. Due to their skills with chemistry they managed to make themself immune to partygoer venom. The downside being the bites they have sustained are painful and fester. Medicine is a generally kind and benevolent figure with a harsh vendetta. They don't ever tend to linger in one place long but running into them usually brings helpful aid to those they meet, unless of course they're a partygoer. Their mask was broken purposefully in a fit of rage against their own group before they defected bitter that their own people wouldn't prioritize vengeance for the horrors they all experienced.
Medicine is a generally very solitary wanderer. They dont tend to stay in groups long and have a distaste for people trying to control where they go or what they do. This has led to conflict with the M.E.G. as they would find their talents incredibly useful to them. They do however tend to revisit places to trade with the people inhabiting them and give occasional medical aid, other than that they dont tend to form close connections and do not wish to after the incident with the partypooper that refused to listen to them about what should be done at the end of the fun war.
Medicine treats most people the same. With kindness and understandable wariness. The backrooms isnt exactly what most would call a safe place to be even if the level is considered safe and Medicine will never forget that. They have trained their body to be very physically fit and when it comes to violent altercations their hands will suffice just fine. They do keep a firearm in their bag in case needed but they prefer to save their bullets for something they consider to genuinely that needs to be shot. They do not enjoy suffering even if it's to entities they despise such as partygoers so if they are dispatching a target its either quick and painless or just incapacitates them. Medicine like's their lab wear and that is what they consider their style being a doctor is a large part of their personality and it shows in how they present themself. While Medicine treats most people the same this cannot be said for partygoers. they are merciless towards them even though their heart is sympathetic to partygoers that were once human. They just cannot forgive what was done to their friends and loved ones during the fun war and one of their biggest flaws is clinging to the past as a motivation for their work.
Medicine has a few vices they indulge in due to the pain the drug they made to nullify partygoer venom puts their old bite wounds in they tend indulge in their own stash of pain medicine (they are not proud of this) as well as sweets. Speaking of sweets, Partypoopers are not human and in fact obligate carnivores Royal Velvet Cake was a treat they "allowed" themself once. and oh does it eat them up inside but it was so worth it(even if they didn't want to eat it in the first place =) ). Medicine is also quite fond of puzzles and such if they had access to it they would love the wordle.
If i may i think i will take over here, after all this is more personal information i'd be better at giving myself.
Name: Dr. "CTH" Medicine ←Dr. Medicine claims that the CTH in their name stands for "Catch These Hands" a very appropriate nickname given by younger wanderers who found their affinity for hand to hand combat amusing.
Age: I am not ashamed of my age but its odd telling others, I am 52 in human years. Time in the backrooms is strange but my kind do not age like humans i should note.
Pronouns: Gendered pronouns are fine for me but i do prefer neutral terms for myself.
Height: 6'6 without my boots! i'm quite tall for my kind!
