History Characters / TheWatchers

* EvilIsCool: More prevalent in the comic. I mean, the Watchers are cool in both appearance and action, right?

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

* DemotedToExtra: This trope only applies to her when the Watcher becomes the leading character in the episodes. However, she is sometimes an AscendedExtra when she takes the lead.

* AllAbusersAreMen: 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?

* TheatreSwanLake: This song was associated with this character in particular. Hmm....

* SwanLake: This song was associated with this character in particular. Hmm....

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

* {{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.

* AntiHero: They each have their own trauma and backgrounds that define the way they are, and may seem as though they are fighting for a good cause, but their actions tend to touch the morally gray zone.

''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...''

* {{Black Cloak}}: Duh.

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

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

* {{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.

* {{Badass Normal}}: In the current episodes and comic book, he did not seem to use any powers or abilities when going solo or supported by the Watchess. Either he has no powers to begin with, or he has powers, but chooses not to use them.

* {{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.

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

* {{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.

''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.''

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

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

''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.''

* {{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).''

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

* {{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}}). However, she does have an unofficial nickname by the fans themselves: The Queen.

* {{Honorary Princess}}: By her fans.

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

* {{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.

* {{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.

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

* {{AntiHero}}: They each have their own trauma and backgrounds that define the way they are, and may seem as though they are fighting for a good cause, but their actions tend to touch the morally gray zone.

''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 out to avenge you...''

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.

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.

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

* {{Woman Scorned}}: After being betrayed by her 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.

* {{Wouldnt Hurt a Child}}: 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.
