"Caaaat? Can I come out now? I wanna meet them!"

"...God Damnit Cosmo."

Spades

Spades(Here) Clubs Hearts Diamonds

Starting a small series for the next few days, and I'll be at Fan X by the time the last of these post! I'm not making a full set, but these are the hypothetical face cards of the card deck! All characters depicted are OC's and I'll add more info about them under the cut!

Cat (Catherine) ~ King of Spades

Cat has had the most changes out the entire cast. Originally she was just a normal college student who found herself wrapped up in the supernatural world. Nowadays, she's the Tether to Cosmo, the Apple Dragon!

Her vibe is that classic, vintage, Americana feel, and she aspires to one day own a Harley. Cat is 4ft 8in tall, plays softball at the local college, and tries her best to stop Cosmo from getting her in trouble. She can bemoan how she got to be a Tether to such a lame dragon, but over time she learns to appreciate Cosmo and master his power!

Her main weapon is a baseball bat and she will take your kneecaps with it.

Mentor ~ Queen of Spades

This character is currently unnamed because I need to put more research into naming conventions. This character is Indigenous American, and I don't want to have something too stereotypical or something that doesn't fit. I designed him with ethnicity in mind because I don't see a lot of Indigenous American representation and I wanted to branch out!

He is the Tether to the Moon Dragon, who is constantly being hunted by the Sun Dragon. So, as you can imagine, he's on the move a lot! He's a biker who travels from Coast to Coast, doing odd jobs and living life on the road. He ends up teaching Cat a thing or two about being a Tether, and why she should respect her dragon. He can't stay long though, he has to keep moving.

Cosmo ~ Jack of Spades

Now, you may be wondering why an Apple Dragon, living on the west coast of America, is an Asian dragon. That's a fair question! Turns out, apples originally came from Kazakhstan, supposedly going through Russia, before finally landing in Europe! "American as Apple Pie" really takes on a whole new meaning huh?

Well, Cosmo followed a similar route! He's the sweetest dragon ever and really just wants to help out his friends. He'll stand up for what's right and help out those in need. Cause of this, he chooses his Tethers very carefully. Aldar Kose, Robin Hood and even Jonny Appleseed were all previous partners of his, and he believes in his Tethers even when they don't believe in themselves!

That being said, he's a tiny dragon and is often underestimated. He's a dragon of Apples, after all, not a dragon of anything important. But he doesn't need to be! He's happy with himself and he can look out for the little guys like him! And hey, if he can save the world in the meantime? Well that'd be just dandy!

(Also, yes, he is designed to look like an apple peel with chocolate on top, cause he's just so darn sweet!!)

Right, so dragon tethers- you made it, right?

Or is it a fandom I'm unaware of?

Because it seems absolutely amazing and idk I was just wondering. But its like really cool yk?

Dragon Tethers

Dragon Tethers are an original concept! It's part of the world I've been building in my brain since like... 2018-19? If I had a chance to make any of my original stories into a TV show/official comic book series, it'd be based on this world lol. I'm super glad you like it!!!!!! It means a lot 💜

Dragon Tethers

Gonna be releasing a speed paint later with more info, but I wanted to explain this idea. Dragon Tethers are, as the name implies, connected to a specific kind of dragon. They can use that dragon's power/magic, summon that dragon, and even merge with them into a new, more powerful form!

Dragons are native to the 'Magic Realm' in this world, so they can't really exist in the Material Realm if they travel there. So, to have a physical form in the real world, they have to Tether themselves to a being in the Material world! And, not being made of pesky matter, Dragons can look like anything! Though their designs are based off a tangible 'domain'. (Ex. Cosmo the Apple Dragon!)
