The Lécuyer family are one firmly entrenched in tradition and although their family is not an old one, their dedication to their beliefs is as strong as any other. Though they may come across as intimidating in their general demeanour, Lécuyers believe deeply in the value of altruism and loyalty; because of this they tend to hold long friendships and secure stable business partners. It is unlike a Lécuyer to allow these values to be exploited however, as they are likely to treat personal insult with retaliation and are not against holding grudges.
Historically; any mention of House Lécuyer before 253AC is rare, simply due to the fact that they seemed non-existent before then. Apparently coming from nowhere and appearing in Framlingham New Ceardia as a small family of lumberjacks. They lived in the countryside for many years under the Patriarchal rule of Frederique Lécuyer, running a small logging camp and keeping a few native Orcs in their employ up until around 260AC when they finally began buying slaves, ousting their employ and instead driving these slaves to do their work for them as their logging operations expanded.
The wood was shipped off to Regalia for minimal profit whilst they kept some in their reserves for creation of small fishing vessels, so that they might feed their slaves. They originally profited from making hunting equipment, such as bows and wooden shields for local soldiers and swordsmen before expanding their business in 271AC. About the time of their expansion, with innovative ideas coming from Frederique's younger brother, Harald Lécuyer, siege weapons were set to be produced. Slowly, in small quantities their craft was perfected over years of hard work.
The Lécuyer family saw opportunity in the hostile tensions between the Essalonian kingdoms and sought to exploit this tension through the sale of their newly constructed siege weapons. The seemingly hard transition from lumber to weapons proved painless as the Lécuyer family had already made connections within the trade capital of Framlingham, with these plans in motion it wouldn't be long before the Lécuyer's began to maintain a name for themselves within their home town.
In 294AC the founder of the Lécuyer family passed on to the everwatch, leaving Maynard to take up patriarchy. Maynard would prove himself useful and gladly take the reigns, sending his cousin Orion to make their presence known in Regalia, soon after he would bring the rest of his kin. New connections are in progress.
Males within the Lécuyer Family retain broad builds, often muscular and standing between 6ft to 6'4. Aside from the general outlier. A male Lécuyer very often maintains strong, chiselled features - be it their jaw or cheek bones. The men of the family will generally be referred to as 'unkempt' or rugged, due to their scruffy appearance and having somewhat of an aggressive approach to things. These prominent facial features will more often than not be paired with a small/dainty noise. Eye colour keeping a deep sea blue, however it is not unheard of for a member of the family to give birth to a brown eyed child - yet it is rare. Sporting butter blonde hair, with the occasional dusty brunette in the mix. Family members of this sex will tend to have lightly tanned/sun kissed skin.

Females within the Lécuyer Family often keep a Curvaceous body build until their early twenties, at which point their body develops into the Femmefatale body build and the Lécuyer females come into full bloom. Their faces are rather rounded with a slightly pointed chin that completes their more elegant visage, their crystal blue eyes having been known to charm many men in the past and seem to do so to this day. It is not rare for a female Lécuyer to host brown eyes, much alike the men of their family and retain beautiful, long blonde hair that is most commonly let down as it holds close similarities to fabrics such as silk - their hair straight and /always/ butter blonde. Females of the family often grow between a rather measly 5'4 to 5'9. Alike the male members, females also sport lightly tanned/sun kissed skin which is often dotted with freckles.

All personalities are adjustable to chosen user.
Main line
- Maynard Lécuyer @Plutopup - 28 - Maynard is the current family patriarch, first son of Frederique Lécuyer. His tactics are aggressive, however this proves well for his business efforts. With the majority of his kin making way to Regalia, new opportunities are within his grasp.
- Orville Lécuyer (??) - 26 - The second born son of Frederique, however much he loves his family, they view him as distant and indifferent to themselves. Orville has a passion for astronomy and tends to find himself travelling from place to place in search of something new and exciting. Brother to the patriarch.
- Addie Lécuyer -20- Addie is the gem of the Lécuyer family, she is somewhat playful and wild, yet able to stick to a task when given one. Addie has a strong bond with her brother Maynard, and works to help secure a place for the families' name in her own rights. (Note that this character is important and requires a decent amount of effort and time.)
Cousin lines
- Orion Lécuyer (??) -31- Orion is extremely loyal and selfless towards his family, he fits the values to a T. Entrusting him with taking his kin to the Holy City instead of giving his biological brother the task.
- Varden Lecuyer -29- Available male character creation spot.
- Everly Lecuyer - 20 - Wonderful singer, absolute gem!
- Natali Lecuyer - 23 - Sister to Everly and Warrane, a gentle soul. Selfless, kind and respectful.
- Avice Lecuyer - 21- Essentially the evil one of the bunch, selfish and manipulative. Always striving toward a personal goal instead of assisting her siblings.
- Riva Lécuyer (??) -25- Riva is a pleasant young girl, she's the model daughter for the entirety of the Lécuyer name. Intelligent, beautiful, accomplished. Although cousin to the patriarch - Maynard and her share a simple yet well-built bond. The ability to understand one another's emotions without question - they are able to sense when something is wrong with one another and offer help when needed.
- Kalle Lécuyer (??) - 31- The fellow is filled with vigour and is easily able to bring light upon any given situation. Although Kalle lends a hand when needed, he is one of the few males within the family that has chosen a studious path instead of physical labour. Kalle views Riva as distasteful and arrogant despite being her brother for reasons unknown.
- Elise Lécuyer -21- Elise along with Addie is considered Maynard's little angel, despite being cousins - the age gap between the trio has forged father like tendencies to come from the man. Elise and Addie get along splendidly - however where Addie is wild, Elise is the more conscious one of the two. Because of this, she at times thinks of herself as Addie's protector.
- Karlens Lécuyer (??) -27- Karlens is witty and always full of banter. The jester of the bunch - however on the inside he is incredibly intelligent, using his humour as a way to make connections with others to solidify a place for the family name.
- Odette Lécuyer (??) -23- Odette is the ultimate fan girl, her dreams rarely contain anything other than finding a suitor. The poor girl has a 'princess' mentality and believes all there is to life is marriage. Aside from this, she is often referred to as the smart one of the bunch, she is articulate in her tongue so much it is somewhat mesmerising. Not to mention her incredible dancing ability and looks that could put the word 'beautiful' to shame. Nothing can be wrong in her eyes.
- Amalie Lecuyer - 22- A kind soul, yet the spirit has not been kind to her, Amalie is in no good way. Sickly since birth and incapable of making her own way, Amalie relies on her words to forge a path for herself.
- Vince Lecuyer -21- Available male creation spot.
- Isabelle Lécuyer -57- Mother to both Karlens and Odette, this old woman is incredibly agile and quick on her feet. She's fun and a menace at the same time. (Aunt of the patriarch. Important role.)
