For Three Signals: What do you think of The Listener?

SHARE FOR THE CLASS

I think I've been scrolling on the rainworld oc tag for too long because I feel the sudden urge to copy paste and elaborate on previously written notes and headcanons about my rainworld ocs... 😨

As I said, a lot of things were written a while ago (as in, like a year or two ago, when I didn't use grammarly and didn't have a Tumblr) so they might not be the prettiest, structurally speaking xd

Swirl of Vivid Sunlight :

Swirl of Vivid Sunlight is a nervous, solitary iterator who does not usually participate in group chats and is often left to her own devices as a result. She is referred to as rather childish by some of the other iterators; infatuated with the world's wonders. She rarely ever responds to direct messages, usually only participating in group chats when necessary. She was very close with Silver of Straw before their death and is still very close with Seven Red Suns now. Despite it being her initial mission and the reason she was created, after Sliver of Straw died she has since stopped searching for the path to death, considering it a truly impossible task. She often uses the overseers of her structure to simply observe the Flora and fauna surrounding it, her general structure especially being quite overgrown. As most iterators go by a shorter or different name, she is known as Vivid Sunlight. As expected, her "symbol" is simply a swirling symbol, outwards tracing in. Her metallic covering is a mainly pale orange, similar to Seven Red Suns, however, she has multiple blue, red, yellow, and purple accents that seem to run in rings around her arms and clothing. Near the back of her head, two antenna communicator things attached to her puppets skull hang down past her feet. They are quite larger than she is, being multiple times longer than her total height. While she doesn't usually dabble in genetic mutation and purposing organisms for specific jobs, she has sent her fair share of Messengers suited to fit the environment to iterators that are farther out. She was mainly unaffected by Five Pebbles outburst since she never really checked chat rooms or messages that much, and while she was aware of Five Pebbles situation, she avoided thinking and talking about it. Her structure is quite the catacombs, and is pretty hard to navigate if you aren't small enough. Luckily for her messengers, a group of five Slugcats, they seem to fit right in. Vivid Sunlight does not like talking or interacting with most other iterators unless absolutely necessary, and is preferred to be left alone. She's kind and gentle but is quite solitary, and it's pretty easy to annoy her if you know what sets her off. If angry she will most likely simply cease communication with whoever she's talking to, and if she can't do that, she'll go radio silent and attempt to ignore all messages.

The Skitter

One of Vivid Sunlights messengers, a black slugcat with white eyes and nose. He has two eyes on each side, a smaller one beneath the one in its natural place. He is lithe and has a multitude of quills along his back and tail that ends in sharp red points. He resembles a spider, and has the maneuverability of one. He's capable of climbing on walls and ceilings, and is incredibly swift when it comes to jumping and climbing on poles. He's omnivorous, preferring to eat fruits and small insects more than anything. He doesn't talk much, but does enjoy being a part of Vivid Sunlights messengers. While his quills are sharp, they are not firm enough to be used as Spears, sadly. The most they can do is prevent an attack from behind to a degree. Often known by the others as just Skitter, since that's what Vivid Sunlight seems to call him. He has a degree of poison that can paralyze a creature for a period of time, or at the very least restrict their movements by making them weaker and dizzy. It's not enough to kill unless a large dose of his venom is administered at the same time. However, he has glands on the roof of his mouth that prevent him from giving too much and 'drying up'. In order to actually inject something with his venom, he has to be well hydrated in order to create the venom in the first place. He seems to regenerate wounds and turn them into scars very fast. As said, he doesn't talk much, and often doesn't know how to show his platonic affection to the others, whom he sees as siblings. He likes his peace and quiet, but can handle some chaos every so often. He doesn't mind breaking the rules but also likes to stay on track.

The Wayfinder

A rather heavy, mostly mechanical slugcat. Built almost entirely out of metals and alloys, with only a few specific organic parts, The Wayfinder is a navigator. They are pretty much walking gps, constantly mapping and recording the things around them. They have autonomy, but don't seem to realize that they do. They're often so absorbed in completing whatever task they were given, most of the time they don't realize they can stray from that path, even if it's just for a little bit. They like efficiency, and when faced with things that aren't facts like opinions or feelings, they usually get confused. Their exterior is metal, and is by extension pretty hard to bite through. Spears can and will dent if thrown with enough force, but The Wayfinder is mostly safe from any conflicts. They're mainly light gray, almost White, with light glowing yellow markings indented slightly into their outer shell. They have these mechanical 'whiskers' that protrude outside of their face, a yellow hologram usually casted around them to make them look larger. Since they aren't designed for it, they usually don't throw with lots of force, but are still pretty strong due to the hydraulics and mechanisms located within their arms and legs. As stated before, they have very few organic parts located within them, but do have intestines and a brain. They feed on bone marrow, blood, and other nutrients absorbed directly from the flesh. They usually avoid violence, but can be rather threatening if someone stands in the way of their task at hand. They often don't like taking detours or breaks, because they don't seem to comprehend that the other Messengers can't go as long without sleep or rest or food as The Wayfinder can. Because of this, it will sometimes cause a bit of conflict within the group.

The Vulture

Built after the image of the thing she was named after, The Vulture is a brutish tank built for combat. She has a hardened skull like mask on her face, the same swirling marking of Vivid Sunlight located on the forehead. She's not outright violent, and can be very kind, but is very skilled and isn't afraid of a fight. She is pretty fluffy, with a mauve taupe-ish color to her fur. Much like a flying squirrel, she has large flaps skin underneath her arms, that can be used to glide and catch strong winds. Her mask, which is a light almost pinkish, seems to be fused to her face. The swirling symbol on the forehead of the mask is a bright glowing yellow, almost orange. She has tabby-like stripes across her back, tail, arms, and legs that are the same color as her mask. She is insectivorous, so mainly spends her time scavenging and forging for bugs if she isn't defending the other Messengers. She's outgoing and is rarely cautious, she seems to know how strong she is compared to the others. She is the leader, holding the main communication to Vivid Sunlight, who she can often hear through the mask, much like how The Wayfinder receives instructions. She has a bold personality, but knows when to be serious or somber, and is very attached to and by extension defensive of the others. She sees the other Messengers as her family, but sees Skitter especially as a little brother, and goes out of her way to make him feel loved and included.

The Hazardous

A small, light slugcat with a rather confusing anatomy. The Hazardous is a feathered, semi-aquatic creature with frills that resemble fins trailing across their back. They have glands behind their ears and head that can release a toxic gas which compounds change depending on the nutrients most recently consumed. They are a light neon yellow color, with black stripes and rings circling their frills and tail. They can use large outbursts of toxic gas to send themselves leaping in certain directions, although it is usually unpredictable. The Hazardous is a survivor, usually neutral in terms of opinions. He does like being one of the Messengers, and is very smart in terms of finding his way around.

Aaannnddd this is about where I stopped writing lol

I don't plan on continuing any of this, ans as you can tell it's pretty much unfinished and will most likely stay unfinished forever unless somebody else wants to pick it up

(be my guest, by the way ;-;)
