dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori ;
it is sweet and proper
to die for one's country.

A Le Roux child, gold-eyed and lion-hearted, once they’ve grown to a proper age, are expected to ask themselves the ancient, sacred questions of what it means to be a Le Roux:
how heroic are their bones?
how much lion is their heart?
is it braver to live, or to die?
They live under the translucent veneer of a regal, career family that and ran career institutions in the district, a radiant household with its walls drenched in laughter and the scent of cinnamon all the time, but legacies as heavy and intricate as the Le Roux’s were never too arduous to unearth. Amongst the greying history books and the dog-eared Games records, was emblazoned the story of one Malachi Le Roux, one of the first martyrs in the first ever Games, a lion-hearted boy, a hero, and most importantly, a rebel.
After his demise, the Le Rouxes veiled themselves from the world until the name itself became a soft mutter from a past life, a story—whispered over and then scorched by a mirthful winter-fire, a trail of footsteps suddenly lost under an ivory-white drift of snow.
Then, several decades later, from the dark they emerged once more, wispy shapes of gold, lions prancing out from their stone caves with a hunger to devour the world. They were stronger, and wilder, but as heroic as before, and as rebellious as they had been once.
Heralds of glory; the Le Rouxes are on their way to reclaim the old kingdom they’d once sought, warred, and died for.
TLDR
Career family in District One that prides themselves on being heroes and rebels; hates the Capitol; descendants of Malachi Le Roux from the first Games. Courageous, brown or gold-eyed, brown or gold-haired, regal.
HERALDRY ATTITUDES
The Le Rouxes can be categorized into separate attitudes of a lion in heraldry, based on the traits they share.
LION RAMPANT
Traits: robust, a martyr in their bones, justice-oriented, the most indistinguishable from lions.
John Le Roux (NPC)
Headstrong and as stalwart as a fortress, he is a man as lean as a spear with the deadly nature of one. John supervises the workings of the career academies and keeps the family’s earnings from becoming stagnant. Him, and his offspring, are considered to be the most feral of the Le Rouxes, lions rampant and fire-fanged, beasts amongst men.
Child of John - Name here17
Child of John - Beatrice Le Roux16 (played by gamemaker sloane ♕ kaяi ♕ )
Child of John - Sunny Le Roux15 (played by ✨ zozo. )
(More children can be added)
LION RAMPANT REGARDANT
Child of John - Unnamed Le Roux18 (reserved for eulalie blake 1a 🍒 tris )
Lacquered in iron and rage, he is a stray lion that hunts his own prey and refuses to share. He used to pity himself because to be born as a dark secret, an ignominy to the golden Le Roux name, brimmed his gut with shame but he's learnt to live with the fact that she was, and would forever be, an unwanted evil. Even though John Le Roux hadn't meant to bring him and his brother to life, here they were, with claws eager and sharp enough to rip any throat out, defying the odds.
Child of John - Unnamed Le Roux17
While his brother hunts in the dark, her hands cup for the light that creates the latter. Despite being one of John Le Roux's unspoken secrets tucked under the rug, she is a seamless fit to the lion prides, pride burning in his heart, bravery laced to her bones. She knows that to be a queen, one has to be proud and glorious enough for the crown, to be unafraid its burden.
LION STATANT
Traits: mental prowess over physical, strategic, makes their own hypotheses of the world.
Isaiah Le Roux (NPC)
With a wisdom as depthless as the sea and horn-rimmed glasses, Isaiah Le Roux is a man that chooses deadly knowledge over brute force. He is trained in the art of flora and, if he isn’t caressing book-spines in the library, he can be found hunkered over a desk in his room, planning blueprints and outlines, charting maps and scaling objects. There is a book, unfinished, he’s writing that he hopes to enlighten future rebels with.
Child of Isaiah - Vennera Le Roux24 (Played by fireflyz )
Child of Isaiah - Icarus Le Roux18 (Played by revel latimer, 11b 🔍 jay )
Child of Isaiah - Avarice Le Roux17 (Played by gamemaker kelsier )
Child of Isaiah - Name here18 (Played by minie )
Child of Isaiah - Aria Le Roux15 (Played by gamemaker tallis 🧚🏽♂️kaitlin. )
(More children can be added)
LION SALIENT
Traits: covets glory and power, as ferocious as the beasts but as elegant and as beautiful too.
Eurydice Le Roux (NPC)
There’s a certain burden to be the only girl amongst three brothers, but on Eurydice’s calloused shoulders, it couldn’t even be felt. Since adolescence, she was brazen and clever, in both combat and literary matters, a wild-hearted lioness who wielded her claws masterfully. Even at the age of thirty, she hasn’t given up her mantle of teaching in the Le Roux career academy.
Child of Eurydice - Emmett Le Roux16 (played by tick 12a / calla )
Child of Eurydice - Emerson Le Roux16 (played by alex 🐺 )
Child of Eurydice - Harper Le Roux21+ (played by Tom )
Child of Eurydice - Cathy Le Roux19 (played by d6a georgie cham 🍓🐢 frankel )
Child of Eurydice - Tatton Le Roux18+ (played by @fabulousraven )
Child of Eurydice - Name Here17 (reserved for tris)
LION SEJANT
Pax Le Roux (Deceased)
Fierce and compassionate, Pax Le Roux was a sister of Malachi and the foremost reason of the old Le Rouxes’ survival as she scouted for hideouts and weren’t afraid to make hard decisions in desperate times. As the Le Rouxes discovered their footing once more in this world, she lived out the remainder of her days with her wife, but not before adopting a young babe from the streets, her only daughter that she did not live long enough to take care of.
Daughter of Pax - Ridley Le Roux16/17 (played by Stare )
She knows she’s more leopard than lion, her spots true to her nature, with a savageness and a cruelty to her bones that’s unlike a Le Roux. But, no one can know if she hides her secret deep enough and, fortunately, that was her knack, her natural prowess: a deftness at hosting secrets so effortlessly in the cavern of her mouth.
