Clockwork Cherubs were small, cartoonishly-designed cherub-like robots. They were capable of independent consciousness, although, barring defects, they could not disobey their core programming.
Nature
Clockwork Cherubs were around two feet in height, and made of “solid copper alloy”. There existed seventeen different “Marks” of Clockwork Cherubs, created in batches of one hundred by the Great Foundries based on designs by the Cherubs' Creator. They included Mark Is through Mark XVIIs. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids)
Their internal components included an internal heating system, Anxiety Springs, liver crystals. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving) voice boxes, (PROSE: The Szaclowk & the Halfworld) thermometers placed where humans had lungs, (PROSE: The Labors of Juliet) and Gemstone Hearts. (PROSE: The Green Gorillas)
Although winged, Clockwork Cherubs could not fly under their own power unless anti-gravity circuits were strapped to their person. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) Not every Cherub in the Crew had access to such devices, and indeed, some could be officially banned from owning one. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
History
Clockwork Cherubs were invented in 1960 in the Prime Universe by a scientist to whom her creations referred as simply “the Creator”. They were given Fog Ships with interdimensional travel capacities, as well as a pocket universe to call their own, and given the task of journeying through all realities to stamp our hatred and replace it with (artificially-induced) universal love. The Clockwork Cherubs who fulfilled this mission were known as the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. However, they were not the only Clockwork Cherubs in the Multiverse; some, due to programming defects, gained the ability to break off from their programming and became renegades and reprobates travelling the Multiverse by themselves. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
