Impulsively made mcyt stuff :)

Watcher culture because im bored

You say the title, here it is! Anyone can use with credit :)

• they live in a part of the end hidden to players, called the true end. It looks a lot like the expanded end mod. Any watcher who willingly lives in the middle end, or the player's end, is seen as someone who willingly wants to live in an inhabitable wasteland.

• red is the color of royalty in their culture, as in the true end red is a hard color to achieve without Magic.

• they're ruled by a council, currently made of the 5 most powerful watchers. Somehow joining them would make you virtuality immortal, lifespan wise.

•speaking of age, watchers usually live around 1100 years. The age of adulthood is around 500 ish, depending on the area of the true end you live in.

• names are something that are considered sacred, a sign of purpose and an important role. Most don't get names, instead called by their role (sister, brother, mother, father, scout, teacher, student, etc.) being given a name at birth is something that doesn't happen often, if not at all.

• school also isn't really available to the average watcher, it's mostly families teaching their young. Only the most powerful and high ranking people go to academies. You may be able to earn your way into a spot, but it's rare.

• once you come of age, you get your mask. Only children show their eyes outside, since their not of age. You can only get masked with a ritual. In more rural areas(which is most), it involves just the town and the head of the village giving the child their mask. In the academies, it's a school wide event, like graduation.

• The picture up top Is a drawing I made a while ago of the attire of a watcher scout(the watchers who well, watch.) . The normal people have less extravagant clothing in their day to day.

• I've already mentioned scouts, but there are also creators, teachers, mages, gaurds, and more.

• there are 3 main types of watchers, species if you will.
-Quorux watchers, they're more physically fit and don't meddle in magic, as their bodies aren't used to it. Their wings are larger and less purple than the others, many actually have black wings. Quorux directly translates to Fight in English.
(If I had to make an example of a Quorux watcher would probably be big b, as I don't really see him having much magic if he were.)

-Xorith watchers, who are what you think of when you think of watchers. They are the most affiliated with magic, and make up the largest part of the population. Normally, they wouldn't be trained to fight like Quorun watchers would, more so fighting in the more "use your magic, not your fists, let the enemy tire out" kind of way. They have a range of wing colors from bright purple to plum. Xorith directly translates to Mage in English.
(Obviously, Grian would be under the Xorith watcher, since they were made with the fandom interpretation in mind.)

-finally Vymin watchers. They are leaner, and have black at their fingertips. They're the smallest part of the population, coming from Xorith watchers interminglining with endermen in ancient times. Their population has grown since then. They have the special ability of being born with shapeshifting powers. other kinds have either learned the skill or been born with The shapeshifter mutation, but for the most part it's viciously gatekept.
(I would say Pearl could be an example. A headcanon for her being that she has a mark on her face that changes with the moons phases, and it just being her most natural human form shapeshifting.)

-Of course, hybrids between them exist, but they're not as large.

• rebelling against there council and their will equals death, or even worse, being put in a cell. It's tortuous down there, and if you really rebellious, they might just keep you in their permanent cell, which is a void locked behind a door. You get cuffed by your ankles and neck to magic chains and stay there for virtually eternity. (might just write smth abt this lol)

That's about it for now, but I might add some pictures once I get around to it. Have a good day/night guys and girls and other breakfast foods!
