Foreman-964 was a Clockwork Cherub and member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, and the chief Head Construction Cupid of its Department of Construction.

Description

Personality

Foreman-964 was abrasive and antisocial. His only passion was in building ever larger and more numerous warehouses, which he considered an end unto itself, quite heedless of the use or lack thereof that the rest of the Crew may have for the finished products. Despite his eagerness to build as much as possible, as quickly as possible, he was committed to doing things “by the book”, refusing to let his team work without blueprints from the Department of Architecture in hand.

Powers & abilities

Having had his pain receptors removed, Foreman was incapable of feeling pain, which he considered an asset to work quick and well in construction. (PROSE: Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery)

Biography

By April 29th, 2019, Foreman had long been one of the Head Construction Cupids of the Department of Construction. His morning started on the wrong foot when he sprained his wrist falling down the stairs while yelling at a Mark XVII to get off his property. Heading to work, he found that, much to his frustration, work on a new warehouse that was to be the largest one yet was delayed by the blueprints failing to arrive. As was later uncovered, they'd been fraudulently intercepted by Philatel-426 of the Department of Postal Services, who'd caught wind of the fact that Foreman intended to raze the West Wing of the Post Office to make room for the new warehouse.

Foreman contacted Philatel, who told them that he'd put the Blue Feather in charge of investigating where the “missing mailbag” had gone. Foreman immediately had the case transferred to the more efficient Scarlet Wings taskforce, and contacted Blue Feather leader Acquaintanceship-982 using his two-way communicator to tell him he was off the case. Almost immediately afterwards, however, Acquaintanceship figured out the truth. Instead of telling Foreman or the Department of Discipline, however, Acquaintanceship elected to blackmail Philatel into letting the Blue Feather transfer their HQ to the West Wing. In exchange, they presented the Department of Construction with the site of their old HQ, which they found even more suitable for the warehouse project.

The headline feature of Issue 1020 of The Cupid Courier concerned yet another warehouse that was to be built by the Department, which was projected to include “32 rooms, each the size of a sizable warehouse themselves”. Asked by the Courier to comment, Foreman was also told that Philatel-426 had registered his opposition to the project, still being of the opinion that the Department of Construction were building far too many warehouses. Taking his leave of Journalist-649, Foreman was subsequently seen chasing a frightened Philatel into the distance. (PROSE: New Warehouse To Be Constructed In The Homeworld)

Foreman was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to The Cupid Courier's 1236th issue's educational Q&A about the Rifts with Doctor Sigma. However, like most Cupids in the Q&A, he simply used the opportunity to rave about his own personal hang-ups, in this case his ongoing rivalry with Philatel-426; it seemed that, by this point, Foreman was once more coveting the spot of the Cupid Post Office to build a new warehouse. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!) Foreman had a daily habit of rushing into the Post Office, causing as much disarray as possible, nominally to make an official complaint about something-or-other. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)
