Here's some Listener!Taurtis
The design is my own. But they were greatly inspired by @ayapcraft 's Watcher Design and fic "And The Universe Shifts."
This is mostly just me needing another possibly aside from "OMG TAURTIS IS DEAD" after the "Headphones scene" with the Watchers. So yeah! Listener!Taurtis.
And a big thanks to the members of the ATUS Discord! For this posible lore idea the input was greatly appreciated!
Watcher's take on the visage of Angel's correct?
Headcanon: Listeners were once Watchers as well or vice versa but their opinions on guiding players and worlds differed so much that two separate factions split.
Unfortunately the Watchers were more powerful and numerous so they banished the Listeners into a sort of 'fallen state.'
They stole away one of their wings so they couldn't fly and cursed them with a demonic visage to discourage players from interacting with them.
Unlike the Watchers their masks don't cover their eyes, because: they aren't judges, they are empathizes. They listen to what players really want instead of just observing without all the facts. They refuse to blind themselves of a player's true potential.
As one Discord member put it: "Watchers have eyes in the sky, and Listeners have an ear to the ground."
