Clockwork Cherubs were invented in 1960 in the [[Prime Universe]] by a scientist to whom her creations referred as simply “[[Cupida Hartnell|the Creator]]”. They were given [[Fog Ship]]s with interdimensional travel capacities, as well as a [[Cupid Homeworld|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.

==Marks== | |||
To date the [[Great Foundries]] have produced seventeen models of Clockwork Cherub, with one hundred units in each production run - although after the events of ''[[The Labors of Juliet (short story)|The Labors of Juliet]]'' there are more than 100 Mark II Cherubs. | |||
=== Prototype === | |||
While not called the "Mark 0", there is a single [[Cupid Prototype]] with the production number 000. As far as revealed, it is still operational. | |||
===Mark I=== | |||
[[File:Colonel-028 in Why Doth Love Sting So?.png|thumb|[[Colonel-028]] is a Mark I Cherub]] | |||
Mark Is were the original design of [[Clockwork Cherub|Clockwork Cherubs]] built by [[Cupida Hartnell]]. They were taller than later models, with a chest unit separated from the base of the legs by a tubular waist. Their limbs were articulated with elbows and knees, and their “hair” was a simplistic metal cap on top of their circular head. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') | |||
Known Mark Is include the [[Cupid Prime]] (#001), [[Doc-012]], [[Colonel-028]], [[Rosen-035]], and [[Doctor Sigma|Doctor Sigma-063]]. | |||
===Mark II=== | |||
The Mark IIs were the second Mark of [[Clockwork Cherub|Clockwork Cherubs]] designed by [[the Creator]], following the taller [[Mark I|Mark Is]]. [[Juliet-178]] was a Mark II. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Labors of Juliet (short story)|The Labors of Juliet]]'') Accordingly, her [[Sisters of Juliet|many duplicates]] were also technically Mark IIs, despite being obviously newer than “legitimate” Mark IIs, something other Cupids tended to find disturbing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Of Romeos and Juliets (short story)|Of Romeos and Juliets]]'') | |||
The most famous, and numerous, Mark II is [[Juliet-178]]. | |||
===Mark III=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
The malfunctioning [[Mandragora-257]] was originally a Mark III. | |||
===Mark IV=== | |||
[[File:Colonel-028 recalls Mark IVs.png|thumb|[[Colonel-028]] (a Mark I) remembering the Mark IVs of old. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Scaled-Up Soldier (comic story)|Scaled-Up Soldier]]'')]] | |||
The Mark IVs were a Mark of [[Clockwork Cherub]]. In contrast with prior and subsequent Cupids, who were smaller than humans, Mark IVs were built for war, huge colossi with almost draconic features. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Scaled-Up Soldier (comic story)|Scaled-Up Soldier]]'') | |||
Mark IVs include [[Judicator-337]]. | |||
===Mark V=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark VI=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
Mark VIs include [[Marksmanship-522]]. | |||
===Mark VII=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark VIII=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark XI=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
[[File:Acquaintanceship-982.png|thumb|[[Acquaintanceship-982|Aquaintanceship-982]] is a Mark X Cherub]] | |||
===Mark X=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
Known Mark Xs include [[Bibliophile-962]], [[Amity-965]] and [[Acquaintanceship-982|Aquaintanceship-982]]. | |||
===Mark XI=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
[[Romeo-1020]], who became involved in the [[Juliet-178]] matter, was a Mark XI, as were [[Sigmund-1028]]. and [[Larrikin-1029]]. | |||
===Mark XII=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark XIII=== | |||
Mark XIIIs were a mark of [[Clockwork Cherub|Clockwork Cherubs]] from the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. | |||
They were barely a decade old in 2019. | |||
The Mark XIIIs had a particularly bright golden sheen, and “stiff limbs”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') | |||
Known Mark XIIIs include [[Conspiracy-1263]] and [[Carter-1277]]. | |||
===Mark XIV=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark XV=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
[[Valerius-1497]] was constructed as a Mark XV and may yet be one again. | |||
===Mark XVI=== | |||
''No technical data'' | |||
===Mark XVII=== | |||
Mark XVIIs were a mark of [[Clockwork Cherub|Clockwork Cherubs]] from the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. [[Cupid Fact File|Cupid Fact File #001]] compared them to the [[Mark I|Mark Is]], noting they were the youngest Mark of Cherubs yet extant as of the last update to the File. Mark XVIIs were small and streamlined, with round heads, plus-sign-shaped eyes, and bendable limbs. They had a power core in the centre of their chest, from which piping ran on the outside, forming an X pattern. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') | |||
On April 29th, 2019, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Faction of the Fooling Fish (short story)|The Faction of the Fooling Fish]]'') [[Foreman-964]] sprained his wrist after “falling down stairs while yelling at a Mark 17 Cupid to get off of his yard”. At this time, a Mark 17 was also employed at Foreman's own [[Department of Construction]], being its youngest member: [[Excavator-1642]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery (short story)|Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery]]'') | |||
Known Mark-XVIIs include [[Excavator-1642]] and [[Robespierre-1665]]. | |||
===Mark XVIII=== | |||
Mark XVIIIs were a new Mark of [[Clockwork Cherub]] which, in 2019, were scheduled for rollout “next summer”. [[Cupid (Scaled-Up Soldier)|One Cupid]] had been given reason to believe that they would be even smaller and lither than the last few models, continuing the trend for Marks to decrease in size over time.
