The Lockeheart Anthology

A brief taste of a massive project I'm working on at the moment!

›› Family Name: Lockeheart
›› Current Head: Riddick Alexander Lockeheart
›› Primary Species: Tyrannosaurus Kirin
More commonly referred to as Northern Kirins, Tyrannosaurus Kirins are a fictional species of equine and are noncanonical to My Little Pony. They are described as being markedly larger and more robust than their more lithe, oriental relatives. Their horn, unlike the more branchlike antler of their counterparts, is typically rather straight and saber-like, with slight variation between individuals. Some horns even lack the characteristic forked protrusion altogether, as evident in the individual Hrafn (raw vehn) Stone. Tyrannosaurus Kirins, being from the cold Northeastern regions of Equestria, are an incredibly uncommon species, even by traditional kirin standards. This would prove to be fortunate, however, as individuals of this subspecies have a rather nasty tendency of becoming Nirik more frequently. Being the more ancient species of Kirin as well, their Nirik forms go through less transformation, resembling their kirin forms to a major extent.
›› Family Occupation: Since the mid 1800s, the Lockeheart's have been a mafia/crime family, though earlier accounts bore witness to pirates and vikings.
›› Family Crest: A heart shaped lock and two keys formatted to look like a skull and crossbones
›› Living Members: Riddick Lockeheart, Exius Lockeheart, Autumn Lockeheart, Grace Lockeheart, misc others that are disconnected/disowned
›› Deceased Members: Eleanor Lockeheart, Augustus Lockeheart, William Lockeheart, Belle and Woodrow Lockeheart, Alexander (Cutthroat) Lockeheart, misc others that are disconnected/forgotten

The Lockeheart Familia is an infamous, Fillydelphia based mafia group lead by the cutthroat Riddick Alexander Lockeheart. The Lockehearts found their rise to power during the Prohibition, when rum running was at its height. At the time, the family estate was owned by Riddick's mother, Eleanor Lockeheart. They would, after her passing, continue to thrive under Riddick's steely gaze, capitalizing off of the Crystal War and other conflicts. Currently, the estate is still owned by Riddick, with his son Exius starting a new family away from the iron grip of his father, whom murdered Exius' mother when she attempted to help him leave. In earlier history, the family was broken apart and small, with the most notorious of the family being Alexander Lockeheart, a cold blooded pirate with the ability to set himself ablaze in order to intimidate his foes. This ability went dormant as the pure bloodedness of the family waned, until "Alexander's Rage" was nothing more than a story.
