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.
He wore the same wire frame glasses that Jazz is frequently seen in and sported short hair and a small, bushy mustache. His clothing was fairly basic, being a white turtleneck and black trousers. d'Onovan describes himself as a 'Stone cold hot shot with looks that melt butter' and 'Smoulder City'.
d'Onovan had a Twitter account that ran between the 4th and the 16th of Octobver 2016. He made 15 posts.
Additionally, he featured in a Two Plus Ones sketch video that was released on February 14th 2017. In it, he talks about his break from the limelight since the good old days, his fame and connections and his current living conditions.
