History Characters / TheWatchers

* BadassArmy: Dudes, just look at every single episode. The side Watchers and underlings, though seem weaker than the 3 main Watchers, are intimidating, sometimes scary, and they can certainly psychologically break a person down. ''And they broke into the target's house once.'' Let that sink in.

* {{Covert Group}}: Implied by the Watchers that there are full of these in the organisation. Might need to confirm this via {{Word of God}}.

* {{Nebulous Evil Organisation}}: Implied by the Watchers, and from {{Word of God}}, that the main Watchers originated from an organisation full of other Watchers like them, and that their cause, and existence, remained rather largely unknown to the law.

* AllAbusersAreMale: As of episode 7, it seems all of the victims that the Watchers targeted are men. Are we throwing some shade here, guys?

* BeyondRedemption: Damn. Doubles as a TheGlovesComeOff moment. Brenton from Episode 4. When he hung up from the call out of frustration, fear and anger, the Watchess went immediately ''furious''. She immediately sent her underlings to his house, without hesitation.

* {{Bribe Backfire}}: Happened to Keith in episode 3. Needless to say, that backfired on him.

* {{Blame Game}}: Trope apply to the victims thus far. They ''love'' to shift the blame on someone else when their acts were caught, only for the Watchers themselves to resort to {{Stopping the Blame Game}} and force them to acknowledge their actions.

* CowardiceCallout: Trope applied in Episode 3, when The Watcher called Keith out for trying to throw his daughter under the bus. Even this troper is tired of this man using his daughter's potential heartbreak as a way to avoid what's coming to him.

* {{Domestic Abuse}}: In Issue #1. A desperate housewife, presumably trying to find ways out of her abusive relationship with her husband, contacted the Watchers for help.

* FearlessFool: Brenton falls into this trope when he first heard the Watchess' singing in Episode 4.

* {{Humans Are the Real Monsters}}: Good fricking lord. Some of their acts are heinous to even mention. From Groomer of innocent children, to Momo himself, to Abusive Stalker...This troper sometimes shakes her head whenever she watches an episode. The nerve of some people.

* {{I Just Want To Be You}}: Copycat to the Watcher. Needless to say, the Watcher seemed more than thrilled to mentally torment the victim to submission, judging by what the copycat had done to his own targets.

* RevengeIsNotJustice: For Keith and Corbin (Episodes 3 and 7). What the fricking heck were in your minds to even ''think'' that you are all on the higher moral ground, despite of what you have done to your own victims?

* WhatTheHellAreYou: From the victims to the Watchers.

* {{You Monster}}: From Keith in episode 3, to the Watcher.

--> '''Keith''': You...are a monster.
--> '''Watcher''': Yes, yes we are, and guess what? There is no medication that can cure us.

* {{Abusive Parents}}: His father in particular. He would beat him up and hum a tune, which the Maniac would have in his memory, according to {{Word of God}}.
* {{Mysterious Past}}: His backstory is still vague, due to the creator wanting to develop this character more. However, it is confirmed that the past will be revealed sometime in the future.
* {{Psychopathic Manchild}}: Slightly subverted, as the Maniac is considered to be a Chaotic Good character. However, according to {{Word of God}}, he would have a childlike nature, with a psychopathic temperament.
* SuddenNameChange: There was a sudden name reveal in episode 6, and now the Maniac has a name. Woopee.
* {{Used to Be a Sweet Kid}}: Implied in the newspaper clippings during the start of Episode 6.

* DeadpanSnarker: He seems to have this trope. Sarcastic humour, pointing out that escape is imminent...Yeah, definitely fits.

* {{Mean Character Nice Actor}}: From the looks of the 2nd voice actor from LT's stream, this trope seems to apply for the Watcher.

* {{Mysterious Past}}: As of now, the audience only knows that he is known as the Watcher, and is possibly an experienced character, but his past and backstory remains a mystery, due to the creator revamping his origins.

* NecessarilyEvil: The Watcher himself seemed to fit this trope, especially in Issue #1.

* {{The One Thing I Dont Hate About You}}: From the Watcher, to Anonymous.

* TheEngineer: Doubles as GadgeteerGenius. This dude can create a burner out of spare parts, like springs, pipes, etc...Damn, this dude is just resourceful.

* {{The Leader}}: He is the leader of the main trio, as seen from the comic book and episodes. He would be the one to receive the contract, and gather the other two Watchers up to plan and discuss on how to hunt and break down the target psychologically. He also uses his own smarts and ingenuity to be one step ahead of his chosen targets.

* {{Action Girl}}: Doubles as a LittleMissBadass. Do not be deceived by her lack of strength, her size and feminine robotic beauty. Her rage, temperance and abilities are definitely NOT to be underestimated.

* BattleBallgown: She wears an armor that looked like a skirt. I think this qualifies?

* {{Beautiful Singing Voice}}: She sang in both episode 4, and in the comic book.

* {{Blemished Beauty}}: Judging from the number of fans and amount of simping this woman gets, I think it's safe to assume the Watchess is in this trope.

* DaintyLittleBalletDancers: Associated with the Watchess in her character origins. The reasons for this are currently unknown, but is currently under speculation by this troper.

--> '''LT (When asked on stream why the dancer is shown repeatedly in her character origins)''': There's a reason.

This troper is about to punch her fist into the air. LT, what kind of answer is that. WE NEED TO KNOW D:

* DeadpanSnarker: This trope applies to her too, in Episode 4, though not as strongly as the Watcher.

* {{Driven to Suicide}}: Stated in the character origins.

* EmotionSuppression: This trope applies to her. For ''very'' justified reasons.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Her family.

--> '''Watchess''': They called me their little ray of sunshine, their perfect piece of art. They were my family, and my home was their heart.

* {{Evil Sounds Deep}}: Happened in episode 4. This troper still has shivers thinking about it.

--> '''Watchess''': Does this...do it for you?
--> '''Brenton''': WHO ARE YOU?
--> '''Watchess''': Well, Brenton? (Switches to voice modulator) DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?

* {{Fan Nickname}}: It is assumed that she is only called the Watchess because of how some of the fans had called her after episode 4, though this was unconfirmed (If confirmed, it might make this an {{Ascended Fan Nickname}}).

* {{Fembot}}: In Issue #1. She's got the curves.

* {{Honorary Princess}}: By her fans. We don't call her the ''Queen'' for no reason.

* {{Origins Episode}}: Yep, she has one. Also doubles as a {{Start of Darkness}}.

* {{Rape and Revenge}}: Implied in the character origins of the Watchess.

* {{Rape as Backstory}}: Very self-explanatory.

* {{Rape Leads to Insanity}}: After being raped unexpectedly by the gang and ending her own life, her personality immediately took a darker tone, with her vowing to get revenge on the heartless and the cruel by playing twisted games with her chosen targets.

* {{Siren Song}}: Her ability as a Watcher. When her singing ends, the victim's surroundings will be immediately affected in some way, making the victim think that they are in danger.

--> '''Watchess''': Hmmmmm mmmmm Mmmmm Hmmmmm (followed by lights turning off in victim's house).

* Theatre/SwanLake: The main song is associated with this character in particular. The reasons for that are currently unknown.

* {{The Prom Plot}}: Subtly implied in her character origins. Needless to say, it did not go too well for her in the long run.

* {{The Women are Safe With Us}}: Emphasised on the Watchess' debut on episode 4, when the young woman who sent a contract to the Watchess is handicapped and was violently assaulted, and when confronted, the assailant, Brenton, threatened the Watchess with Cassie's address and her safety and left the game. The Watchess was understandably furious.

* {{Woman Scorned}}: After being betrayed by your boyfriend, and being forced to live with the fact that you are raped by not one, but by multiple people, and forced to mourn for the loss of your innocence on that very same bed, won't you be one of these? Of course, of course you would. Double points if you were a fan-proclaimed Queen, and part of an anarchist organisation.

* AmbiguousStartOfDarkness: So far, his true origins still remain a mystery.

* BackFromTheDead: All the main Watchers seemed to have this trope, especially the Watchess. For the Maniac and Watcher, it is currently unknown, but highly probable.

* BeneathTheMask: Yep, they can deny all they want. They can say they lack moral boundaries, and some may say they lack morals and limitations to begin with. However, if you take a closer look...yeah, looks can be deceiving.

* {{Black Cloak}}: Duh.

* {{Dark and Troubled Past}}: Though the Watcher's origins are very much still up in the air according to LT, it is probable that the Watcher has a dark past as well, much like the Watchess and the Maniac.

* {{Driven to Villainy}}: Applies to the Watchess and Maniac, though for the Watcher, it's highly probable.

* {{Private Military Contractors}}: As seen from the comic book and the first episode, they operate through a contractual system. They only hunt their targets when they are given a contract.

* {{Friendship Denial}}: In the second Q&A with the Watchess, she denied having any relationship or bonds with the original Watcher, and claimed they were only colleagues. It is likely the Maniac exhibits the same feelings towards the other two as well.

* FullConversionCyborg: All of the main Watchers have this trait.

* ImplacableMan: All the Watchers in general.

* {{Insane Equals Violent}}: All Watchers in general, especially the Maniac.

* {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}}: Say what you want about them and their moral ambiguity, they do have redeeming qualities that makes the audience sympathise and empathise with them.

--> '''Watcher''': Even though you do not know who we are, know this, we will always be watching over Amelia, and you WILL DO RIGHT BY HER. ALWAYS.

--> '''Watchess''': Did you stop when she began to cry? Did you ever stop to think about her? As a soul, trapped inside a broken body, who tried desperately to scream and beg, solely through the tears that slid down her cheeks? (Brief pause) No, you didn't stop. And for that, Mr (Censored-Surname), we too will NOT stop, NOT UNTIL YOU TREMBLE AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HER, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

* {{Malevolent Masked Men}}: All of the Watchers, to the people they hunt down in their contracts.

* {{Nothing Is the Same Anymore}}: All of the Watchers in general.

--> '''Watchess''' (Answering in a Q & A whether she is the young girl depicted in her origins): Not anymore.

* {{Only Known by Their Nickname}}: Everyone in universe calls them the Watcher, Watchess and the Maniac, including the audience. However, for the Maniac, this is slightly inverted as his name was revealed to be Marcus for the entire audience.

* {{Playing Card Motifs}}: Watcher is the King of Clubs, the Watchess is the Queen of Spades.

* TokenEvilTeammate: All of them in particular, especially the Watcher.

--> '''Watcher''': You see, you all will forever be in a state of pain and suffering at each other's expense. It is inevitable when there are so many contradictions within your society. After all, you demand peace with a gun in you hand. But there are some among you who simply satiate in inflicting pain and torment to others. And for those...The world must purge itself. And that is who we are...the virus the world must keep to kill its infection. The monsters...who come for the monsters.

* {{Two Guys and a Girl}}: Watcher and Maniac, with the Watchess as the sole female.

* {{Wouldnt Hurt a Child}}: Doubles as {{Friend to All Children}}. Whenever a contract deals with the possibly safety risk of a child or even multiple children, the Watchers would tread lightly on them, and unleash their chaos tenfold on behalf of the children (if ''they'' were the ones making the contracts with them). And take a look at the Watchers 7 teaser. The Watcher was clearly ''furious'' at what the man was doing to the poor child.

* {{Chaotic Good}}: All of the Watchers appeared to fight on the side of good, as seen from the current episodes of the series. They apparently do not operate under a moral compass defined by society, but they choose their targets based on their own personal judgment and their wrongdoings. They also do not appear to be working with the law, but rather working under their radar.

--> '''Watcher''': You like to run away from the law, but we, we effortlessly dance through the loopholes of this broken legal system.

''Watcher: But don't be foolish, there is no honour here. We are simply bloodthirsty mercenaries who operate under the label of 'Justice' so that you may sleep well at night thinking someone is here to avenge you...''

''Watcher: You like to run away from the law, but we, we effortlessly dance through the loopholes of this broken legal system.''

''Watcher: Even though you do not know who we are, know this, we will always be watching over Amelia, and you WILL DO RIGHT BY HER. ALWAYS.''

''Watchess: Did you stop when she began to cry? Did you ever stop to think about her? As a soul, trapped inside a broken body, who tried desperately to scream and beg, solely through the tears that slid down her cheeks? (Brief pause) No, you didn't stop. And for that, Mr (Censored-Surname), we too will NOT stop, NOT UNTIL YOU TREMBLE AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HER, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.''

''Watchess (Answering in a Q & A whether she is the young girl depicted in her origins): Not anymore.''

''Watchess (asked in the 2nd Q&A about her viewpoint about the Civil War between the Watcher and Anonymous): Their squabbles are none of my concern. I will not be dragged into such...idiocracy.''

''Watcher (to Keith in episode 3): We will not, and have never threatened your daughter, so do not bring up her potential heartbreak as a consequence, for it just shows what kind of a coward you are.''

''Watcher (When asked how it was like to be the Stalker): Like a puppet with many strings attached, limited and controlled. But this puppet, this puppet no longer has any strings attached. No, there are no strings on me. HEHEHEHHE.''

''Watcher: Although we find the Anonymous ideals both dated and boorish, we are contracted mercenaries, after all. And it just so happens that they offer one thing that we simply cannot refuse: The victim.''

''Watchess: (After her singing caused his car alarm to sound) You may be used to bullying other girls into doing what you want, Mr (Censored Surname), but other girls can't break you, fix you, and then break you again like I can, sweetheart.''

''LT (When asked on stream why the dancer is shown repeatedly in her character origins): There's a reason.''

''This troper is about to punch her fist into the air. LT, what kind of answer is that. WE NEED TO KNOW D:''

''Watchess: As the rope pulled on my throat with few resistance, as blood trickled from my wrists from the blade's assistance, Happy Birthday echoed in the distance. My candles burnt low and went unwished, the cake uncut, and went undished. My family's perfect piece of art ended...unfinished.''

''Watchess (in the 2nd Q & A when someone asked her if she retained her emotions as a Watcher): When I did, they were manipulated and caused such suffering. So I no longer see need for them now.''

''Watchess: They called me their little ray of sunshine, their perfect piece of art. They were my family, and my home was their heart.''

''Watchess: Does this...do it for you?''

''Brenton: WHO ARE YOU?''

''Watchess: Well, Brenton? (Switches to voice modulator) DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?''

''Watchess: Hmmmmm mmmmm Mmmmm Hmmmmm (followed by lights turning off in victim's house).''

''Watchess: Prom Queen they praised me, my family so proud they raised me, and at last, the one who drove me crazy, my crush finally dates me.''

''Watchess: Unfortunately for you, Brenton, we vowed to keep Cassie safe. AND THE COST FOR BREAKING THE LAW IS NO BOUNDARY TO KEEPING THAT PROMISE.''

''Newspaper Clipping: How did the sweet child Marcus become the Maniac?''

* AllAbusersAreMale: As of the upcoming episode 7, it seems all of the victims that the Watchers targeted are men. Are we throwing some shade here, guys?

''Watchess: Sometimes there is no hope. Sometimes there is simply a need for anarchy. Anarchy with no resolve. NO RESOLUTION. Sometimes, there is consequence. And consequence alone.''

''Keith: You...are a monster.''

''Watcher: Yes, yes we are, and guess what? There is no medication that can cure us.''

* TwoVoicesOneCharacter: The voice actor for the Watcher changed with no explanations given to the audience, other than 'personal reasons'. The second voice actor sounds dope in this troper's opinion.

* {{The Other Darrin}}: The voice actor for the Watcher changed with no explanations given to the audience, other than 'personal reasons'. The second voice actor sounds dope in this troper's opinion.

* {{Action Girl}}: Do not be deceived by her lack of strength, her size and feminine robotic beauty. Her rage, temperance and abilities are definitely NOT to be underestimated.

* BeyondRedemption: Damn. Brenton from Episode 4. When he hung up from the call out of frustration, fear and anger, the Watchess went immediately ''furious''. She immediately sent her underlings to his house, without hesitation.

* CompleteMonster: Corbin in Episode 7. What the heck were you doing to that poor kid, man? What does burning him in a forest accomplish for you? And also the target from Episode 5 who used the Momo Challenge trend to cause innocent children to kill themselves.
