Some Tam lore I threw together for Patreon. Alt text under the cut. (Copied from my bsky post, sorry it's not formatted).
An infographic featuring a large man sitting with his arm over his knee and some kind of silver stick (cigarette like) in his mouth. He has long blonde hair with tabby stripes in it. His left hand is a cat paw, rather than human. The rest of the sheet is doodles of relevant stuff. There's a one eyed cat statue with a turkish van colored cat looking up at it. Captions read: Tam, Sparks and Dumus Sparks are believed to come from Winking Cats. Who are little seen spirits that are kind of like saints. Cats use sparks to change their shape, and different sinks drop different kinds of sparks. (Beside this, I doodled a dark cat and a light one, both with only one eye. The dark cat has a firey orb next to it. The light one has a wibbly yellow one). "Petty's sparks are known for packing a punch. Hark's are known for warbling." Every cat belongs to a crop, and the head of the crop is its first member, a spirit called a Dumu. One of Tam's 'parents' was likely a dumu that made a deal with a faerie. The spirit moved on and Tam inherited whatever it had, including its status as a dumu. As a dumu, Tam can give sparks a little boost. He also has access to a hammerspace which he gets to through his coat. Dumus are kind of like low tier gods in the eyes of cats. They're usually old spirits that stay out of public view. It's likely no one is even aware Tam's predecessor is gone. (He's not telling). Tam's predecessor was the progenitor of the cherry crop. He finds bein ga dumu weird. For him it's like being the youngest member of a pantheon, but all your titles mean "momma".
