Forced Connections:
Spade, The Gambling Fox
Tasked with developing a fantasy character that combines two characteristics, Cowboy and Fox, in order to create a compelling character acting out human behaviors.
Medium: Inks
The cowboy fox, Spade, is the town's card dealer, gambler, and personal thief. Being proficient at sleight of hand, Spade uses the gambling addiction of others to take what he wants, whether that be at the game table or in a duel. Despite his kleptomania, the town keeps him around due to his promise of protection. He intentionally scams dangerous bandits that pass through the town, challenges them to a duel, and sends them on their way with little to no trouble. It is his way of thanking the town for their kindness, drinks, and an occasional apology for any missing wallets. His gun has carvings of the suits in a card deck, excluding the spade, with it being replaced with the jester due to his unpredictability.
