2016-2017 - d'Onovan Love
d'Onovan Love was a charcter created and played by Archie Henderson a number of years before the character of Jazz Emu entered the public eye. It is believed that d'Onovan may have been a 'beta design' of Jazz, due to the number of similarities the two share: music style, personality and 70's theming.
d'Onovan wore the same glasses that Jazz is frequently seen in and sported short hair and a small, bushy mustache. He is self described as a 'Stone cold hot shot with looks that melt butter.' He also described himself as being 'Smoulder City'
