Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids
The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids was a multiversally-active organisation made up of Clockwork Cherubs.
Description
Its members were Clockwork Cherubs — a race of sentient, clockwork androids resembling the classic figure of “Cupid,” hence the name of the organisation. They travelled through the Multiverse by means of Fog Ship and had a pocket dimension called the Cupid Homeworld as their home base. Members of the Crew were identified by a personalised name followed by a serial number, such as "Pythagoras-858". (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) The Crew's purpose was to spread love, by force if need be; they had access to a chemical Love Potion which they used to “romanticize” uncooperative targets. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) They were governed by the Cupid Parliament. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
The Crew included a number of Departments with specific purposes, each of which was led by a Prefect. These included the Department of Journalism, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Technological Advancement, the Department of Discipline, the Department of Festivities, the Department of Documentation, the Department of Literature and the Department of Zoology. There used to be a Department of Conspiracy Theories (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy) and a Department of Forestry, (PROSE: The Winter Quests) both of which were disbanded. (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy, The Winter Quests)
History
The Crew was created by an individual whom the Clockwork Cherubs reverentially called simply “the Creator”. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
At some point, a member of the Crew called Mandragora-257 rebelled against its code and went on the run in the Multiverse. He was pursued by the detective Pythagoras-858.
After the Rifts Crisis began spreading through the multiverse, one Rift prevented travel to and from the Cupid Homeworld. Pythe became stuck on the outside, and continued his chase of Mandragora before bumping into Jenny Everywhere in the Void. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids)
Behind the scenes
The Crew are, obviously, the main focal point of the series of the same name.
