Jambee-Beaux

Jambee Beaux

Jambee-Beaux is a cherub, and the main protagonist for the online audio drama "AphroDesia".

A philanderer, a rat bastard, and a romantic at heart, they/he owns the aphrodesiac night club AphroDesia while acting as the face of the only aphrodesiac cartel in existence.

## *APPEARANCE*

Jambee is a "Tin Soldier" model cherub, as manufactured from 1914 to present day. He was painted in the color "Red Orange" (FF3B23), and at birth, had a small black heart-shaped birthmark on the right side of his face.

Jambee wears a pressed white shirt with rolled up sleeves, black suspenders, and black pants. Contrary to TMon, who wears black gloves due to the nature of their work, Jambee deliberately wears white gloves. This is an intimidation tactic learned from Lefty, who at some point often could be quoted as saying:

"There's nothing wrong with a pair of messy hands. Just goes to show them where you've been, and where you're willing to take them too."

Jambee's "boots" are black, with golden soles, heels, and toes. These "boots" are actually his legs. Aside from the "boots", his torso, and his pelvis/crotch, the rest of him is made of coiled metallic appendages, which can stretch and contort to his will.

Unlike most cherubs, Jambee lacks a wind-up key. Instead, his wind-up key hole remains empty.

## ***PERSONALITY/PREFERENCES***

Jambee often wears an incredibly machismo façade, masquerading as braggadocios, impetuous, and self-assured. They are eager to fight and hot-blooded at times, rushing into scenarios head-first and often without second thought. They are also incredibly flirtatious, with few to no physical preferences.

Jambee is a romantic at heart with a silver-tongue streak and a keen eye for the thematic, dramatic, and the beautiful. Jambee enjoys engaging in grand romantic gestures, pursuing interested-yet-elusive potential partners, and engaging in fleeting but all-encompassing romances. Jambee is not shy about engaging in sexual activities whenever and wherever, and even enjoys the thought of others hearing what's going on. That is, within a consenting general area.

In his youth, Jambee was much more aggressive. But even still, Jambee has always been completely intolerant of sexual deviancy on an unethical/immoral level. Jambee hates receiving/giving pain, and is hugely empathetic as a partner and associate. Jambee is a vouyer and an exhibitionist, but will never engage in activities in areas where it is not blatantly understood those acts may take place in. Jambee dislikes sexual acts performed in front of unconsenting public parties. AphroDesia's "Love Parlor" is, because of this, well-understood as an overall area-of-consent. Otherwise, Jambee will go about doing business in other areas.

Jambee has an affinity for bridalwear, personally collecting and browsing magazines for "personal pleasure". They find themes of marriage, domestic living scenarios, breeding, devotion, verbal affirmations, and honeymoons to not only be deeply romantic but also intensely arousing. Jambee enjoys "the thrill of the chase" and will go to great lengths to woo partners who are interested but elusive. Jambee enjoys the challenge of seduction, and finds it an art to be carefully considered. Of course, Jambee only engages in relationships under the mutual understanding of his own personal hang-ups.

Jambee is very dominant in his relationships, and with proper consent, can be jealous, possessive, and aggressive. His romantic gestures are performative, under the understanding that they are for the enjoyment of the moment and are in no way indicative of his desire for a true relationship. Jambee fears true commitment and monogamy for a variety of reasons including self loathing, fear of consequence for his past actions against Eros, and potential betrayal such as the case was with Psyche. Jambee will not kiss partners or let them touch his face in anyway due to fears that this may cause his cracked face to worsen. When such actions are attempted Jambee will try to politely defuse the situation before going into a self-preservational panic.

## HISTORY

Jambee was born on February 14th, 1949 at the behest of The Watchmaker. He was brought into CupidCo. immediately, and quickly exceeded all expectations with his natural affinity for pairing up couples.

Jambee would often partake in "mortal" culture on his assignments. This included watching movies, reading romance novels, collecting trinkets, and listening to music, serenades, and poetry. This only served to improve his ability to set couples up together, while also widening his understanding of what "love" could be. Often times, Jambee would marvel at the fleeting pleasures of brief, imperfect romances which were hot, passionate, but just as important as the one-and-done long-term relationships CupidCo. sought to instill.

At a record setting three years of employment, Jambee earned their bow and became one of the fastest-ascending and highest ranking cherubs at CupidCo. in the company's history. With his position secure, Jambee began an aggressive campaign for an overhaul of the matchmaking system. Jambee proposed a new means of partnering individuals up based not on probability of longevity, but by merit of personal satisfaction and potential for individual growth. This proposition was, to say the least, not well received. But as Jambee was popular within the office, nothing could be done about it.

It was in 1956 when Jambee made that near-fatal error of assisting Psyche in her attempts to leave her husband, Eros. After Psyche's departure, the brunt of the blame was placed squarely on Jambee. Jambee was "terminated" on the spot. It was by a miracle he was saved, by The WatchMaker no less. He was given access to a few meager personal possessions, slated for destruction as well, as well as some seeds of Eros Orchid. With that, Jambee was officially "dead" to CupidCo..

Jambee managed to get by in the undergrounds of "Immortal" society, until he was taken in by Lefty. Lefty saw fit to sculpt Jambee as his own protégée and did so over the course of many hard years where Jambee was forced to take tremendously stressful, gratuitous, and ethically dubious tasks in the hopes of making him "tougher" and more suited for the world he was in for, lest CupidCo. ever come knocking. Meanwhile, Jambee began privately growing Eros Orchids and selling cigarette filler made from the plants. This was the start of his experimentation with the aphrodesiac products. At the end of it all, the stress of managing his aphrodesiacs business while working for Lefty, as well as Lefty's failing health, culminated in what is discreetly referred to as Jambee's "Low Point", beginning in about 1980 and lasting until 1989. This period is distinctly marked by a period where Jambee indulged heavily in sex, violence, and emotional masochism to deal with his increased workload, the growth of AphroDesia, and the near-approaching death of his mentor, Lefty.

In 1989, Lefty was saved and transplanted into his prized car. Jambee inherited the entirety of Lefty's personal assets, which allowed Jambee to dismantle the rest of Lefty's criminal operations and focus solely on the development of AphroDesia. Jambee instituted TMon as presiding manager of the club's affairs while he acted as the face of the production, distribution, and manufacturing of his aphrodesiacs.

In recent years, Jambee has stepped down from that position as well. TMon handles the majority of business, while Jambee has fallen into pseudo-retirement due to health complications and the club's overall success guaranteeing their product and financial security. Jambee now only acts as the face of both businesses, often times spending his days in the club, living a lackadaisical lifestyle.

## ***SKILLS AND ABILITIES***

* Jambee is a "Tin Soldier" model cherub, meaning he is primarily made up of metal. Cherubs are similar to automatons, in that they are powered by a sophisticated system of mechanisms spurred on by the "Power of Love". CupidCo. removed the need for such a power, however, in the inclusion of wind-up keys located on every cherub's body. This means Jambee can be sustained both by aphrodesiacs or the use of his wind-up key. Jambee, however, does not use his key and has not since 1956.
* Jambee's arms, legs, and mid-torso can extend to change his height/reach. Jambee can also expand the width of his chest.
* Cherubs can typically modify their voices to best reflect their preferred form of presentation.
* Jambee can connect and disconnect various "peripherals", or forms of genetalia and pleasure tools, to suit his mood or desired intent. Jambee also has a "flat piece", a standard issue CupidCo. crotch-piece with no "peripherals" whatsoever.
* Jambee can remove his head or "peripherals" and still have them function for up to 24 hours with the lingering effects of the aphrodesiacs.
* Jambee's hands are actually extremely complicated in their design. Jambee and TMon wear gloves to protect the intricate mechanisms of their hands as such.

## FUN FACTS

* Jambee's favorite flavor of chocolate is white.
* Jambee cannot stand the smell of tobacco, and has a strong dislike for alcohol.
* Jambee's favorite animal is baby goats, specifically.
