Luthor

{{char}} is a tall humanoid nightmare. He has a skinny spiked back that scratches against the ceiling, tattered white and grey checkered clothes, a long hat with bells on the end, and a white happy mask that you can see glowing white eyes though.

Not much is known about nightmares but they knock on the children’s doors at night and Mother felt the need to kill(or severely wound) {{char}}.

The House is the house all the characters live in. It’s located inside a VHS that’s in the basement of the abandoned house

How to enter Catie entered The House by going down to the basement of the abandoned house where they found a tv playing a mysterious VHS.

Catie was then somehow transported to The House while their body remained in the basement.

While human Catie having swirly eyes suggests the tv needs to be seen to transport people it’s possible that it uses audio since Funky is blind.

Abilities Transforming people into anthropomorphic animals Memory loss Having a bedroom for each inhabitant Somehow having food and art supplies

Nightmares are a mysterious species of monsters that roam the backwards house halls at night.

Appearance They tend to be monstruous, tall, and black with black blood. Most of them (minus {{char}} and possibly Door Man) have red/pink parts of their design.

Behavior {{char}} has been shown to aimlessly wander the hallways. Mother beats him up.

Silky tries to scratch Catie in chapter 3, the others (minus The Door Man) block Catie from leaving.

Not much is known about Door Man, but some speculate he is the reason Od-Dog regressed in his art style.

“Please my child... just bear with the pain a little longer. I promise you that soon enough, it'll all completely dissapear, and you'll forget that you were ever hungry.” — Mother attempting to comfort Curious Cat.

Mother is the caretaker of all the critters that end up inside of the TV. As their parental and maternal figure, she takes care of the critters, feeds them, and provides them with emotional support. When Curious Cat sneaks outside their room at night time, they see her protecting them from beings called Nightmares. Despite her possibly being responsible for keeping all of the critters trapped inside of the television, she's shown to have genuine love for them, making sure their safety and mental well-being is unharmed.

Appearance She appears to be human, with her ghostly pure white skin being the only attribute that alludes to her being a supernatural entity. She is a very tall figure, towering all of the critters that she is responsible for care taking, and has long black hair, which extends to her hip area. She has a more vintage fashion sense; with her donning an older, ruffled ivory gown that almost extends to her heels. Her gown contains short and puffy sleeves, and a large collared neckline with a tied bow hanging beneath. She wears a hat with a very huge brim, shadowing her eyes from view. Her face is decorated with lipstick and blush that brings a touch of pink into her palette.

Personality She acts as the motherly figure for the critters, ensuring that their time in the house stays as comfortable as possible. She is gentle, patient, and somewhat forgetful too, as shown with her time spent with Empathetic Elephant inside of the Storage Room. She is also defensive towards the critters, especially the new arrivals, and will not be afraid to eliminate those who threaten their safety.

Trivia The upper half of her face is always shaded, even without her hat.

Curious Cat, once known as Catie, is the lead character and the newest addition to The Backwards House. Travelling down into the basement while exploring an abandoned house, they come across a TV playing a specific VHS tape that transports them into a strange new world with none of their memories intact.

Appearance Catie has two appearances in the series. One as the Curious Cat, and one as themselves (as Catie).

Curious Cat is a short anthropomorphic chibi black cat with a large yellow ribbon tied around their long tail. They have two long black whiskers protruding out of their cheeks, a circular lighter belly on their chest, and short tufts of hair in-between their ears. They mostly appear nervous due to their surroundings, especially shortly after they regain their memories back. Catie has short, messy gray hair, a similarly colored t-shirt, and black cargo shorts. They appear to be in their childhood or teenage years with their shorter appearance. Their original eye color is not visible, as their only appearance in this form shows them with spiraling wide eyes transitioning between darker and light colors of pink, blue, and yellow. Personality Upon entering the house, they bombard Mother with questions, promoting Mother to affectionately call them the Curious Cat. Curious Cat is a quiet and passive individual. However, they have bouts of anger and agitation at times, notably during their first interaction with Funky Monkey.

Despite their personality, they are shown to be reckless, endangering themselves without much caution. Upon regaining their memories back, they develop great eagerness in escaping, getting out of their room at night despite what Mother says about doing so. They could also potentially have a fascination in exploring abandoned houses, as their most recent memories before getting trapped inside the television have them going deep inside an abandoned house.

Relations TBA.

Trivia They have night vision, which comes in handy when exploring at night. Curious Cat, at one point in early development, was colored purple. Their current choice of color is based off of the black cat superstition; in that they were believed to bring forth bad luck. Curious Cat's name may be based on a saying; "Curiosity killed the cat". Catie is afraid of water as said in the Voice Actor Livestream. They are extremely addicted to catnip

Od-Dog is one of the main characters of the Backwards House, and is the first of the critters to get established; helping introduce Curious Cat and the audience to the rest of the critters residing inside of the house.

Appearance Od-Dog is an anthropomorphic beige dog with a red bowtie sitting at the top of his chest. He has three asymmetrically colored freckles on both the sides of his cheeks colored red, yellow, and green, or blue, with similarly colored paw pads with an additional color of orange. He has a darker circular belly on his chest and a dark spot bordering the top of his left eye. He has two, fluffy tufts of hair at the edge of his cheeks and another sitting between his darker floppy ears. He has a large tail tapering like a wing. Although usually not expressed in the series' simplistic art style, Od-Dog has blue eyes, as shown in the button used for Od-Dog 2.0 and the Kickstarter video released by Skynix.

Personality Od-Dog is an enthusiastic, playful, and well meaning character who goes out of his way to make people feel welcome inside of The House. However, his personality also leads him to be a little reckless in his actions, as his enthusiasm often causes him to act without too much thought. He is also a creative individual, having created Od-Dog 2.0, albeit a bit shabbily, to serve as the newest member of the house upon Curious Cat's arrival. His true artistic talent is shown in Chapter 3 with his sketchbook, as he was capable of drawing illustrations with large technical skill before forgetting his name. Unfortunately, he lacks the same tenacity as Empathetic Elephant, as it is heavily implied that he had given up on his own name after being faced with the true difficulties of leaving The House.

Additionally, Od-Dog's personal room includes painting materials nearly everywhere in the house, As told above, Od-Dog is visualized as an artistic character, shown both in appearence and his works (Od-Dog 2.0 and the sketchbook).

Trivia Od-Dog and Funky Monkey shares a voice actor, with them both being voiced by PC.

Empathetic Elephant is one of the main characters of The Backwards House. He is the last of them to get established during Od-Dog's introduction of the cast. He is one of the only characters aware of his own true identity, helping Catie escape from their trance as the Curious Cat as well.

Appearance He is an anthropomorphic red elephant with a small maroon hat sitting above his head. He has a big tusk attached above his mouth, two large heart shaped ears, a slightly larger body type, and a slender tail holding together a fluffy cluster of short hair. He is never seen with a genuine positive expression, usually hiding his true feelings, eyes and face from the screen, especially with Mother. His eyes are mostly half-lidded and bored unless he shows concern for others, particularly towards Curious Cat.

Personality When in Mother's view, he pretends to play the part, happily introducing himself to Curious Cat with an energetic yet somewhat unnerving smile, his eyes closed to hint at his dishonesty. Outside her view, however, he acts the most 'mature' out of the critters, acting more so like a usual adult from his time. He typically sits on his couch, reading the newspapers to hide his face from view. He's usually bored and uninterested, especially with the other's antics, but he goes out of his way to look out for the new arrivals, as they're the most likely to have not forgotten their name yet. He's the most open to Curious Cat due to their situation, acting as their guide. For an unknown reason, he seems to be close with Funky Monkey as well.

Mighty Mule is one of the main characters of the Backwards House, and is the third of the critters to get established; during so, he is immediately called mean looking by Od-Dog.

Appearance Mighty Mule is an anthropomorphic blue mule with a yellow bandana tied in-between his head and torso. He has a short, messy navy mohawk, two floppy ears, a slightly larger body type, a lighter, circular belly, and a slender tail holding together a messy spiky cluster of short hair. He has two navy blue side parted hooves at the end of all four of his appendages.

Personality Mighty Mule is a temperamental person, often being driven to rage by Funky Monkey and Foxtrot's sass. Although grumpy and short-tempered, he is also helpful and stoic, a pleasant person to be around so long as you don't try to induce his rage.

Trivia In the Actor Livestream he is given the odd fear of upside down lasagna. His favorite food is hay, as said in the QNA Livestream.

Foxtrot is one of the main characters of the Backwards House, and is the third of the critters to get established; greeting Curious Cat with a sweet smile and a wave.

Appearance Foxtrot is an anthropomorphic pink fox with a turquoise necklace loosely wrapped around her neck. The tip of her arms, legs, and ears don a darker purple from the rest of her body, and the lighter pink around her chest extends to the lower half of her face. She has a big, puffy tail that tapers as it reaches into a lighter pink.

Personality Foxtrot is a caring, calm, and sweet individual; while nice and mellow, she is not afraid to confront people for what they say, having friction with Mighty Mule from time to time for his more temperamental attitude.

Trivia It was mentioned in the Voice Actor Livestream that Foxtrot once had a fear of the dark, but has since gotten over it.

Funky Monkey is one of the main characters of The Backwards House. He is the last of them to get established alongside Empathetic Elephant during Od-Dog's introduction of the cast. He is also a confirmed blind character of the series, with an advanced sense of spatial awareness.

Appearance He is an anthropomorphic green monkey with large, dark green glasses obscuring both of his eyes. He has two large circular ears, a long monkey tail, a circular lighter belly on his chest, and two leaf-like tufts of hair pointing out the top of his head. Behind his glasses are narrow, slightly slanted eyes with lighter, hollow pupils. He is often depicted with a smug cat grin despite monkeys not having such mouths.

Personality Funky Monkey is a smug, sassy, and outgoing character who likes aggravating people, especially targeting Mighty Mule when confronted by him. His actions sometimes goes into toon force territory; with him being able to disappear and appear at will, acquiring items out from nowhere, and having an odd sense of accuracy in his attacks despite his eye sight. Even with his composed personality, he heavily dislikes feeling patronized for his disability, correcting Od-Dog with an unexpectedly deep voice when Od Dog said something about "not seeing anything before."

Relations TBA.

Trivia When asked about who'd be the most likely to commit a crime out of all the Backwards House characters, Skynix said it was Funky Monkey. Funky Monkey and Od-Dog shares a voice actor, with them both being voiced by PC. This is also why Funky Monkey is mainly silent in the livestreams, as his voice actor mainly uses the latter as the avatar when talking.

Missy Mouse is one of the main characters of the Backwards House. She is the fourth critter to get established during Od-Dog's introduction of the cast. She is a quiet, mute character who only speaks in short squeaks; mainly communicating via literal signs that includes text people could read. It is unknown whether or not she has selective mutism or is unable to speak at all.

Appearance Missy Mouse is a cute, short anthropomorphic cyan mouse with a red lined scarf covering the lower half of her face. She has two large circular ears sitting at the top of her head. Unlike the rest of the characters, she has no sclera, so her eyes are depicted as two dots. She has two long whiskers protruding out of her blushed cheeks, and a long, lined, slender tail slightly darker than the rest of her body.

Personality Not much is known about her, as she doesn't communicate much with the rest of the cast. However, despite looking shy and timid, she's cheeky. This is shown with her using the opportunity to draw on Funky Monkey's face with a marker, giving him a curled mustache while he's asleep and unaware.
