BASIC INFORMATION- Lord. Lucius Herrington.
Lord. Lucius Cornelia Herrington is the defacto-lead of the Herrington Family, he maintains operations over the Japanese-operations of Herrington Holdings Incorporation, as well as their subsidiaries with the help of hundreds of inferiors and other employees, he's truly a business man at heart.
Having lived in Karakura since 2018, he's gotten to know the locals, using a strategy of charisma and wit to guild himself with those in similar power, he is the narrow-minded protagonist of the Herrington Family and portrays the values of cunningness, the ability to be ruthless and their ability to be diplomatic to his fullest extent. He gets along with fellow industry leaders in Karakura and, for the most part wishes the best for the citizens, except when he doesn't.
An individual d****d head to toe in either a stylistic green iconic suit - or his more extravagant white and purple suit with gold traced in there for good measure - he looked the part of a above board hyper-rich business-man.
His voice as well as gender was easily distinguishable as male given their appearance, you could tell without him even speaking that he was arrogant, full of himself even - although it wasn’t for nothing, the way he blankly stared, the way his laugh was just a little too routined - it well. .. Well it set you right off, something in your predator sensing self noticed something he was keeping a secret, he was a monster - a real one, one they talk about in the Lovecraftian short stories
and in the long and overbearing Stephan King novels. Adding onto this eerie feeling, the politician's happy-go-lucky personality reassured you just a little bit that he wasn’t so scary, hey - maybe he’s just socially awkward right? Perhaps.
He is the current owner of the Herrington Estates property, he also had the job of being the Chief Executive Officer of the Japanese operations of Herrington Holdings Incorporation, a Fortune-500 company, bringing in more every year then a LOT of countries, and is even as impactful in the political landscape, being responsible for a lot of very economically uplifting however environmentally taxing business operations - in which was mostly covered up by a Energy Conservation initiative, in which they would advertise away their potential negative press issues.
He had three children, his eldest Dylan Theodore Herrington; a offspring of a prostitute he had been with when he was just starting out as a young adult - a child he didn’t pay much attention, nor care too - you could see just why the son would be eventually wanted for Murder down the line.
His next two children, Lernaean and Lusamyne came from a mismanaged marriage, from a woman who he thought he loved at one time in his nieve stage, but would later just become a trophy wife for the man, the marriage - initially full of love, turned into a mere transaction to the two, with his children receiving very little attention - however the best services a child could ever have, sending them to the best boarding schools and giving them the best money could buy - if only money could buy them a good childhood. He and his wife, Gigi London would later divorce, however eventually shortly getting married once more in 2019. . . it didn’t last long.
Lucius portrayed the exact embodiment of what a Herrington male was, he was blonde, he was tall and he was somehow off-putting, despite being as charming as he wanted to be. His hair appears to match a few of his brothers and sisters, mainly triplet siblings Lucifer and Lilith, however having similar hair to siblings Lynn and Luke Herrington respectively.
The signature ‘blue eyes’ was also very present in the male, they were small however - very snake like .. . almost as if he was a Disney villain, it absolutely screamed evil - however the same couldn’t be said with how he positioned himself, he had the smile of an angel, the tone of a happy-go-lucky man and the warmth of a Politician- No no- a FRIEND who really cared about his fellow citizens, it was so so very perfect, near flawless if it wasn’t for his gaping soul.
Lucius was definitely the smartest of his lineage, if not all of Karakura - having spent most of his time in a Laboratory or attending a University of sorts. He was thrilling, He is clever enough that people who knew the real Lucius gave to him a begrudging respect, he had many traits of the citizens of Karakura but was misdirected - he often showed a kindness not seen in his fellow bloodline (occasionally) when he wasn't being up right merciless. It was kind of funny really, the fact that Lucius considered himself the ‘good guy’ - I mean, he did have his likeable qualities afterall? He loves and cares for animals, raised three kids with the best education money could buy and he seems to truly care for his extended family! This may be true somewhat, as he wasn’t always just ‘kind for show’ if you stayed around long enough you could see crackles of a better nature deep down, despite being merciless - even to the innocent - despite all of these traits it was bewildering that he was able to persuade the population of his goodness, he’ll stop at nothing to convince people that He, and his FAMILY are great good-willed citizens, even showing that he was proud of them, especially his very law-abiding sibling Preston Herrington who is the former Police Commissioner, his grandmother - ‘Ma’ Valery Herrington in who served as being the Hospital Director, his younger brother Luke Herrington who served as the Lord Mayor of Karakura for two entire terms - in which he served beside.
Lucius is a businessman first, he seeks opportunities and networking, so much so that he tries and DOES convince the population of Karakura - not that he was a type of “Mr. Monopoly.” but instead a wise and well spoken Politican who cared.
! ! !
This is fake to the audience OOCLY, but it is important to know you character isn’t some genius, medically trained psycho-****yser, they can’t suddenly just feel ‘the evil’ off of a man and that what he showed off vs. his families representation were very different things, he’d appear as an outlier to any citizens who hate the Herrington's and as a outlier to those who think Rich=Evil.

Disclaimers:
This exists to be a 'soft-sequel' to the 2018-mid 2019 Herrington Family Biography as well as a proper biography to my character, Lord. Lucius Herrington. Although it formats itself like a FamilyRP, the Herrington's are not accepting any members and will probably stay in that state indefinitely; with the only reason I choosed to do a format following the Family itself as a way of building upon what has been left to me by @Im6 as there is a lot more story that he never got around to updating in which I tried to fill in as best I could by myself. This is not an intended rival of the family of any kind.
This was a pretty important biography for me to make for a multitude of reasons. . From the brief and un-informed explainer for Soroism (The Herrington Religion.) as well as next to no mention of what I consider to be the most interesting part of the Herrington Family storyline. . . The Political & Gang related roleplay.
This biography is no where near completed, and I obviously have a lot more ground room to improve, add more and update, update, update; perhaps in the future this biography will look completely different, I have next to no way of telling at this moment in time.
Next update is planned to have a complete religion, with multiple pieces of scripture, folklore and further complex development (Yes yes yes, What the fuck is a point in essentially creating a bible only I'LL actually use? I don't know it's fun.) As well as a completed a more in-depth KAGE element (that I had already somewhat started.) together with a biography with the years 2020 and 2021. It's a lot of stuff to get through. + Help please
Fun fact did you know Riyako Terusuno and Lucius dated at one point?

The Herringtons
Now where to begin . . .? The Herrington surname is the prime Karakuran symbolism of Europeanisation of Asia, and in particular Japan. A family of English Aristocrats, of ambition, arrogance, determination, pride, intelligence, greed, wealth, corruption, religion, reliability, cruelty, hedonism, culture and at heart a ferocious loyalty beyond faith and love. They are a people of great ambition, warrant and nobility, with whoms negative side unveils a cruel undertaking. They are a monster of whom young boys talk about around campfires, the people when you call “Who's there?!”, Those who fill your dreams with fright.
The Herrington's come from old blood, privilege and nobility, ruling class of England. It would not be uncommon to associate a Herrington, besides that of a Castle or a Celebrity, being very used to a life of luxury and entitlement. Their most noble trait is of Loyalty. They are a unified family, who love and hold each other dearly, often being rather selfless in face of protection, or of times of adversity, even if it’ll take their life to do so, often without hesitation. It is a gift to have a Herrington in good favour of you as they will treat you well and tend to you, as if you were their own. However, what if they aren’t on your side?
The family members usually suffers from many ailments, Drug and or Alcohol abuse, as well as being horrific examples of Insanity, Schizophrenia, Sociopathic or Psychopathic individuals. Many who are murderers, a few of which are serial killers. With the family characters having an OOC reputation for cruelty.
Traditions
Accession to the Throne
The Herrington Family, in its present day consists of more of a faction, a guild of cousins and secondary cousins, in which each family follows the tradition of Accession to the Throne. This is the practice of allowing the wealth and reign of a family to go to the child who is deemed, “The Greatest.” A system based on Social Darwinism. In every generation of the Family, this has led to at least a little bit of bloodshed and in-fighting over who becomes the next family monarch.
Soroistic Preparatory Education
The religion, in which they follow “Soroism.” offers early educational practices of their religion in ages as young as 1 and usually, as old as five. This is something every Herrington has undergone past the year 1919.
Family Meetings and Reunions
The Family is known to host monthly meetings, in which those who can, do attend. These meetings have occurred since before recorded history. This has not only helped them strategically, as they often spend this to plan and maneuver in advance, as well as socially, as they often use the time to catch-up, publicly announce their weddings and receive feedback.
Christmas Charity Functions
Every year since 1973, the Herrington Family has chosen a few volunteers, in which they head off to Orphanages before the celebrations, in whom they abundantly gift orphans gifts, this crew dedicates the early morning of Christmas day to the poor, both as a kind gesture to the lower class, political move and tax-write off.
Herrington New Years Eve Party
Every New Years Eve, the Herrington's throw a large gathering, in which they invite other people of similar class to their party. This is used to both social network and to celebrate the year. This event is rather humble, if not for it’s elitist nature.
Soroistic Funeral Service
When a family member dies, it is horrific. . A real shame, during this adversity, the entire extended family comes together to host a funeral (usually in the homeland), in which they host a traditional Soroistic Funeral, which involves many odd procedures.
Values
A highly capitalistic family who believes highly in Darwinist views of the world ‘Survival of the fittest’ with the family being very competitive and seemingly not content with the irregularly large amount of power and influence they hold, as the taste for either power or blood is never enough in their eyes, this may come from a near universal need to prove themselves, doing whatever they have to do, with failure being a rather nuclear incident within the family, as they have a abnormally fragile sense of self-esteem - this may account for some of the families ailment with alcohol abuse.
A staple in their family is their pursuit of power and wealth, leading to many of them to submit to egotism, being rather narcissistic, callous, merciless or at least deeply selfish. This pursuit of power seemingly being the only thing more important than either themselves or their family.
Despite these ruthless characteristics, the concepts of honour and loyalty play a massive part in Herrington Family, as they are often shown to be very compassionate to those who they choose to call their blood, furthermore offering a very close relationship with one another, with upon one's death, it being considered a massive, tragic loose, that it may take years for them to recover from, no matter the relation.

The Seven Holy Values:
- Fidelity is the quality of consistency. It is the foundation for sound reasoning, morality, trust, and loyalty. It enables us to anticipate future behaviour based on previous conduct. When it comes to the most worthy ideas, acts, values, or alliances, fidelity is most valued.
- Sovranty is the virtue of predominance. It is the weapon of every strong-willed legend, and the secret divider in every war lost. It enables the user to yield power and to utilise influence effectively over others. It is the state of superiority, or a will strived towards an occupation or a position of dominance.
- Cupidity is the wishful thinking mechanic of the bold and accomplished alike. Ones eager to have more, to be more and to inspire for more, keeps humanity moving forward, faster, greater and of swifter a foot. To have it all is to yield maximum cupidity.
- Hedonism is the pursuement of happiness and self-indulgence, and that in life; seeking pleasure and reward is a high example of how one should project their life towards whilst trying to minimise pain or negativity in one's outlook in life.
- Passion is the acceptance of emotional, instinctive and primitive drives in oneself. To strive for what makes one happy, be that positive or negative. To be passionate is to strive for something you love.
- Charisma is the tendency to be engaging, verbally facile and superficially exposed. To crush and eliminate internal struggles such as self-consciousness or fear by the weight of your int****rsonal intelligence and to live by charm and approachability.
- Ambition is the habit of innovation, economic growth and dreaming. To have ambition is to accept every other value, and to live with these every day. To be innovative is what moves humanity forward. This is the most important of values.
Self Interest can be defined as the willingness to do something of value for others to secure the things that benefit oneself. "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest" Self Interest in the terms of Soroism does not inherently have need to be brought upon by selfishness but can in reality be a path of humility. Often in Soroism, The Soroist's self interest extends and is balanced by their love of others (often including their family, tribe or associates.) However the word Self-Interest is undoubtedly morally neutral, it is the man himself who ultimately defines the results of his actions.
Others' Needs:
When deciding courses of actions, Soroism preaches that you place yourself (and it's importance) above the self interests of others as less important and somewhat invalid in comparison. The Soroist ideal of Putting Yourself First is an old one that strays back to The Middle Ages during famines and periods of large wars, this was a time where putting yourself first meant the difference between life and death, this mixes with the Soroistic Value of Sovranty.
Duty to Religion:
A Soroistic life is one of obedience and overall practice. From a young age they are endorsed into the Religion, in which they are read scriptures and made to learn The Seven Holy Values, they are taught these commandments so that they will obey them. They learn they have a duty to not only pray, but the duty of ensuring happiness for themselves and those they value despite a hard life they may serve. They have a duty to work not only hard, but harder than those around them, to be perfect without cutting corners, this provides them generously and on occasion, others less so; Which is okay.
Rule of Three:
A Soroism Creed, that comes from Soroist Legend. The rule states that peoples, artefact, utility, opportunity or undertaking that comes naturally of in a group of three is inherently lucky or at least of natural greater outcome.
The Tribute of Thyestes:
The Tribute of Thyestes relates to the impact of High Priest Thyestes. It is important to realise that Cannibalism was not always a factor in the Soroist diet, and in fact, it can be perceived as only a fairly old tradition.
Thus came Thyestes, year 994 on the Gregorian Calendar, who grew up within the Soroist Church as an orphan child, due to this the child was destined to become a Priest, as back in those days, you often didn’t have many opportunities outside of your birthright. Thyestes was always a very violent, but charismatic symbol, even as a young boy being very convincing. Anglo-Saxon England was a very different culture to present day England, Thyestes village located in what would eventually become Birmingham was only a small village, about 100 people or so, his father a gatherer who had lost his life to a wolf, and his mother whom had died in childbirth. It is important to realise that Anglo-Saxon villages at these times were insanely self-sufficient, except for - in this case salt and iron, something the village of Beorma had plenty. This led to much civil distrust, and in these times, idiocy. After many years of infighting, Thyestes had developed a system for establishing power, this was by the then taboo practice of Cannibalism. “Ondesn, un−l¯æd duguð dryht, yfel hlêoðorcwide campian”
“Fear of the people, I will gain.”
Death and afterlife:
The Soroist believe in a land of opportunity, and those whom in their lifeforce prove their triumph will receive more of the benefits that come with such land after their deaths. There is no eternal damnation, just a class-divided afterlife, of which those who are good Soroists will aim higher on said system. (A sort of anti-annihilationism) Soroism hold funerals for their lost, in which the members of said family, as well as friends (who share their faith) and select priests perform worship. The succumbed body, placed upon a Soroist statue as the funeral commences. In this funeral, it is a custom for a sacrifice (usually found off of the streets) to be eaten, and for their blood to be used for the exercises performed in this ritual. A bible is always present.
Love and Marriage: Soroists believe that the binding partnership of marriage is a powerful symbol of power and the weight that you can have with sharing it, this is also a relationship shared with The Gods and the Church. Getting married is a public declaration of both love and lifelong commitment towards both a person and their interests. Marriage is a very important aspect in Soroism (One of the more precedent beliefs.) Soroism has no issues regarding same-sex marriage (essentially being pro lgbtq+) and did not ever define any rules relating to who may marry whom, however controversial it was for the majority of the Religions existence, not so much so however in present day. Love to a Soroist is very important to them, it is a perfect depiction of both the Value of Passion and Hedonism.
Arranged Marriages are somewhat common between Soroists, as it is ingrained deeply in their culture. There is no stigma in it amongst Soroism or it's participants. The type of Arranged Marriages practiced in Soroism are amongst some of the most respectable kinds (being both consensual and ultimately made of love.) These arranged marriages are often arranged by parents, grandparents or churches in order to either gain power, end infighting or allow for peace to flourish in times of War. The two parties (usually heterosexual partners from the two groups, but not exclusively) are asked to be married (asked of, not told), with right to deny the marriage request upon 7 days of interaction with said potential husband/wife (If denied, another member of said group goes through the same process until a partner is found.) If not all of these marriages are typically endogamous. These arranged marriages are symbols of social mobility, individualism, peace and fundamentalism. (All traits that Soroism favours.)
Colour Symbolism in Soroism:
The uses of colours and it's symbolism became very important (often placed highly above other measurements) in order to determine and differentiate liturgical seasons. This became a practice sometime after the Tribute of Thyestes. Patriarch of Æthelstan would later enforce more systematic uses (as they tended to vary greatly from each use, sometimes red meant death, in other cases it meant to be of great health and blood...) in order to appropriate and streamline the Church. He would form a basic colour palette for colour symbolism. Red symbolizes spiritual awakening, rebirth and the will to surpass for example.
Practices
___________________________________________________
Communal worship:
Services of worship, typically following a pattern or form known as liturgy. These usually occur every 13th Saturday, however can be held informally every week. This is due to the assumed heavy schedule of its participants, who are often spread far across the world, spreading the fires of their ability in hopes of triumph. During this 13th Saturday - it is a custom for a large feast to be held afterwards (not usually a cannibalistic pleasure, however not exempt.) A Psalm or hymn is usually sung by servants in the background, cordially. It is considered an offense of the highest decree to miss a communal worship, even if the participants have to come in full body casts.
Blood Baptism:
Blood Baptism is the ritual act by which a person is admitted to membership in the Church, with the use of blood (red wine if a sufficient sacrifice is not available). This is similar to baptismal regeneration, which states that baptism generates or enhances a person's faith and is tied to salvation. When a kid is an infant, he or she is always baptised. If the baptised are not victims, they may donate the limb of a partner or their own offspring as a commitment to the cause, in which case they may be granted an exception to this restriction - but this is by no means guaranteed.
Animal Sacrifice:
An animal sacrifice in Soroism is called driv khado (動物の犠牲). The term's meaning since simply lost to time, however it is has been since interpreted to simply mean "sacrifice as a ritual." However it is unknown if this is accurate or just mere speculation. The Sacrificial is always a rodent, rabbit, birds, reptiles or any type of amphibian. The animal is a symbolism for inequality.

FAQ
___________________________________________________
What is the Soroism Religion?
The Grand Soroist Church is the basis of what was originally called the "Herrington Religion." A religion practiced by nearly the entire family (whom albeitly do not exist very much in present day SRP.); all of whom are very important to the Server Lore, from vice-principles to real estate tycoons to even the first couple of Hospital Directors, Two Police Commissioners & a Mayor, with the religion being created OOCly to create a justification for our characters wild and often immoral personalities.
Who are Soroists?
Soroism is a very old religion, filled mostly with very aristocratic individuals that dates back many eras. The followers of this religion are ICly referred to as Soroists, they are those who embrace the virtue and values of the Soroism religion to their fullest extent. They worship a pantheon of gods but there is certainly a main one, whom is called The God, Omal. Under the Gods they also accept the Patriach as the spiritual leader of The God, Omal. (Very similar to that of a Pope.) To be a Soroist one must live their life by honouring The God, Omal and the Values he has set out for us as Soroists.
Why create a Lore Document about this Religion four months after the family officially disbanded?
I was the original creator of the religion, as much as it was a Herrington bi-product I believe it is a piece of my work on SRP that I never got around to finishing (a pet peeve I have when people start a cool promising project and then never deliver on said idea.) It's also important to mention that I simply like. to. write. It doesn't need to be any big plot set up or anything in-depth, just something I made to pass the time.
A secondary reason was that it simply took up too much space on my Lucius Herrington thread in which frankly annoyed me.
How do I join this Religion?
You can't. Unless some crazy amount of hype is thrown my way (A group of people are genuinely interested.) it'll just stay as some highly extensive lore for my remaining Herrington Family characters.
Here is a link to any specific questions.

Family History
Battle of Verdun
Our story starts with one battle. . Verdun. In which changed the fate of history forever, and in particular to the Herrington Family, then poor and working class. . timid and boyish Darius Herrington aged 19, is now a british soldier set to serve in the Battle of Verdun. In which over the course of the war, would shift Darius’ personality drastically.
1918
At the end of the war, Darius came out a man, fearless and confident .. However - he never truly left the war, he just took it home with him, to a life of crime, in which the forthcoming years - he would begin to build up; the Peaky Blinders. During this time, he would have children, with his short-lived wife Grace Herrington (née Burgess) as well as finding solace in a faith; Soroism.
1920-1922
Before the conglomerate, existed the Herrington family, poor and war stricken after the events of WWI, having seen the horrors in France - returning to a city of dank slum streets made up of hundreds of youth armed with knives, razor blade and anger, murders were common, theft and riot was second nature and life was nothing more than a drunken excuse, this fueled them, forming a company originally called “Herrington Company Limited” by Darius himself, with the company being set up to help legally legitimise their newly created criminal empire via money laundering and in the long game: become legal and above board, under this new reign the Family began to enter a slowly growing economic England, who had suffered greatly after the effects of WWI.
However not everything was sunshine and rainbows as Darius would often have harsh business deals with a more shady man ‘Billy Kimber’ who was focused in the Horse Racing and Betting Industry. The two one night would exchange brief words talking about the future of business and gambling in Birmingham before coming to a halt as Billy insults the company while intoxicated from the couple of wine glasses he had taken down. The hall breaks into a fit of yelling and shouting as if animals had been let loose before Darius stood and took out his Revolver and aimed it towards Billy, pulling the trigger. Billy Kimber fell to his knees as the rest was a bloody shooting inside of the Mansion, sadly killing Darius Herrington with it, with the company being passed off to Darius’ older brother, Tom Herrington - who would later be known in the Economic world as the “Father of Modern Day Economics.”
Eventually however, not all became so bad as in the years the company would begin to grow substantially. This came with great avarice to the vastly growing success of the company. Tom begins to become greedy, he had greater plans for it - despite it already essentially controlling the economy within Birmingham itself, beginning an expansion southward to London, England, this is where Tom would utilise his previous relationship with law enforcement and political networking - Having being able to convince Winston Churchill to allow for the Colonial Office to grant him an Empire Export License, covering India, Malay Peninsula, Canada and Russia, stating that he plans to transport certain manufactured goods from Birmingham to any Popular Docks, as was the economy back then, beginning his search for trade in which he’d find his love for all things metal or shiny.
1924
By around 1924, the company is continuing to steadily grow, becoming more successful than ever before, being able to take-over London and the surrounding areas, whilst also enjoying a stable cash flow from Winston Churchill himself, the company enjoying mostly legal cash flows whilst Tom begun to research metal harvesting and manufacturing as a continuation of their export portfolio.
1939-1945
The company has existed for little over 19 years at this point and Tom’s keen eye for business had found them a reliable source of income in which had begun slowly growing into the companies main revenue source “Steel & Metal Manufacturing”, this success was skyrocketed by the beginnings of WWII in which Herrington Company Limited became England's biggest supplier of Steel & Metal Manufacturing, during this time even becoming weapon dealers, selling the likes of British military tanks. After the war, to reflect the changing times - The Company would rename themselves twice from “Herrington LTD.” briefly and then to “Herrington Holdings Incorporation.” finally.
1947 “Toxic Gas Leak.”
In 1947, an alleged gas leak took place in a factory of Herrington Holdings in Birmingham England, resulting in the leakage of chemicals with dangerous levels of toxicity. In the ensuing 16 months, 27 employees including Tom Herrington himself died from various similar types of Leukaemia, with multiple class action lawsuits being filed against Herrington Holdings by the surviving victims, being dismissed due to the political networking the company had set up years before. However this was the 'suspected' doing of the then teenage Ujie Herrington, with the dangerous toxicity levels of the facility being covered up by himself and three other high-level executives, one journalist spy recalling Ujie saying “It wouldn’t of been cost-effective to retool the current systems in place even if there were potential lawsuits, how was I supposed to know the old man was going to walk in there?” However, H. Holdings Inc. and legal ****ysts support the claim that there is not enough evidence to suggest a cover up.
1950 “The rise of globalisation and the golden age of economic expansion.”
Due to this, the company would be passed on once more to Ujies father - Edmund Herrington. Edmund would begin to apply the business to sophisticated likeness of the philosophies of Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and Nietzsche, as well as some potential illegal tactics under the table. Edmund expanded their regions from Britain, India, Malay Peninsula, Canada and Russia in light of the economic world of post WWII, slowly expanding until their logo was in as many countries as had access to clean water and a stable economy they could leach off of.
1960-1970 “A new economic era”
Following a marked increase in consumerism, the welfare state, the space race, the Non-Aligned Movement, import substitution, the cold war, a nuclear arms war race, and counterculture of the 1960s the world had entered a new beginnings with Ujie Herrington now at the helms of the now conglomerate, due to a mass migration away from the cities and towards the suburban life, the conglomerates real estate subsidiary had begun to allow for the conglomerate to deepen their feet into the soils of most of the western hemisphere, having bought up and sold large groupings of property all over the western world, mostly in suburban areas. The post-war economic boom had many social, cultural, and political effects. During this time Ujie who was, like most humans during the time - was very distracted with science and technology - being a great believer in space travel, as in the West, there emerged a near-complete consensus against strong ideology and a belief that technocratic and scientific solutions could be found to most of humanity’s problems, a view even shared by then US President John F.
Kennedy. Yamamoto Junichi, later renamed Arthur Joseph Herrington is born on April 23rd 1968 in a small village in Shirakawa located in Ōno District, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
Miami Laurences builds up a reputation for herself in Paris France. At the age of 19, Miami had been working vigilanty in her community as an unlicensed cosmetologist. She kept her work private; as the law stated a license was required. However, Miami decided to continue with her career. She sought after an academy, eventually finding one that suited her needs and earned her a certificate in Cosmetic Surgery. Her commitment caught the attention of Arthur Laurences, a French man with an affinity for business. Once the two met, they gradually fell in love. With the savings from Arthur, the two managed to open their own private clinic which brought in many customers and requests. This ancestor would later lead to Dove Herrington; Lucius' favourite sister-in-law.
1973-1975 "'73 oil crisis and ongoing stock market crashes.”
Due to the sharp rise in oil prices (due to the 1973 oil crisis), the world had hastened the transition to the post-industrial economy, in which led to a vast multitude of social and economic problems for the conglomerate, this was worsened during the 1970s steel crisis when the demand for steel - in which was their biggest cash flow had heavily declined - in which it was time for the conglomerate to face competition from newly industrialized countries they had once ignored in the Australiasian region, leading to eventual good relations in South Korea, China and eventually Japan later down the years If this wasn’t bad enough, during this heavily political time after the war, people had gained a general consensus after nearly every country on earth had promised a much better post-war country, Britain in particular wanting a mixed economy with the nationalisation of major industries, had existed until the secondary banking crisis of 1973-1975. Coming away from all of this, the world would want a mixed economy, full employment, conciliation of the trade unions and welfare, all in which Herrington Holdings shady and inhumane business practices could not support - in which political networking had become more important than ever; the conglomerate silencing lawsuits and bankrupting trade unions and welfare organisations as often as they could, it could be said that the labour revision wanted by the peoples was just “bad for business.”
Lernaean prequel story;
Herringtons are a weird bunch, what makes them weird may in part be due to genetics but it is more likely the result of religion and the toll it takes on a young mind in a dark dark. .dark place.. You see, the church to the outside is just a simple old boarding school with some strict religious practices, however, it is really more or so the human equivalent to Hell. Soroism is strict, it teaches children to be smart above all else, Soroism leaves in a child a type of emotion that can only really be explained with the odd choice of wording "Selfish Convenience" this trait which, isn't unique to the Herrington Family but is very much a strong personality trait of the family is that they are very selfish and often at times can be quite brutal, even if its over small things. Most members of the religion enter the Church at the age of 1, this is so that the child is young enough to not of made an attachment to their parents, children are to be brainwashed and that would be very hard if the child has a concept of humanity straight out of the gate.
Lucius was somewhat of a prodigy, surrendering his mind to the religion entirely, his mind sculptured to fit the stock traits of what the religion aspired to make each and every member. Due to Lucius being a special case - in which he was very easy to mOld, Lucius was kept in the Church until the age of 13 in which he had fully converted, earning the title of 'Priest.'
1981-1987
During this period, it was a time of strong economic optimism in which was reflected by the most lighthearted version of the conglomerate, they had ended most of their inhumane human resource practices in favour of silencing issues from becoming scandals, don’t get me wrong - the conglomerate was busy buying up african rivers and selling it back to the African people for profit, undermining the lower class and using child-workers in countries that they could get away with it in but, as far as people were knowledgeable on - they were simply saints! However, this all ended on October 19, 1987. In which was the infamous Wall Street Stock Crash of 1987. This was the greatest single-day loss that the conglomerate had ever suffered at that point - even when instead of legal papers they were using revolvers.
What Lucius had left 12 years before was not the same as it had been... Lucius' triplet brother Lucifer had already returned at the age of five (as had the bulk of his brothers) because he was simply unsuited to be a priest. Lucifer had the time to bond with the rest of his brothers since he had eight years on Lucius and was focused on preserving the social hierarchy among his siblings, leaving little room for Lucius to interact with his siblings.
1994
Senndokou Herrington is born in Seoul Korea
September 1988
While meant to be walking one of the household dogs, Lucius notices Lucifer sucking the life out of a little bunny rabbit. Lucifer, on the other hand, was deep in the forest surrounding the Herrington Manor, making one of his first master plans, laughing and deciding to use this new information as a ploy to gain recognition from his siblings, ordering Lucifer to set up connections with their siblings in exchange for not telling Father about what Lucifer was doing while 'supposedly' walking the dog. This moment of victory over life may have been the time at which Lucius had gone beyond the point of no return, as it was one of his first politically driven acts.
October 1988
Lucius, 13 years old, flees his home, using money from his trust fund to purchase plane tickets to London. Lucius is roaming freely through Chelsea, London, when he comes to a halt across the street from a group of affluent English young-teen girls, all of whom appeared to be around 13 years old. Lucius, however, could only keep his gaze on one girl, tall, blonde, and with blue eyes.
He stopped before breaking down in tears, realising that he had finally found true happiness. He hurriedly packed his belongings and boarded the first flight back to Birmingham, a new jolt in his step, October 12th perhaps being one of the most significant days of his life. Amanadiel, Lucius' younger brother, presents Lucius a pet bear as a gift, beginning a bond that would last decades, one of the few true friendships Lucius would ever have.
November 1989
Lucifer matures a little, making apologies with his younger brother, and the two connect over their shared obsession with their triplet sister, whom they have never met and have no idea where she has gone. The drama The Tragic History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus brings Lucius and Lucifer together. Lucius and Lucifer leave Birmingham, England, and relocate to La Ville Lumièr, Paris, France, so Lucius may receive the best artistic education money can buy, while Lucifer apprentices with prominent playwrights of the period. Lucius grows tired with acting and loses his enthusiasm as a result of the lack of attention given to him for his acting skills. As a result, he and Lucifer get into a violent fight. Lucifer is just beginning to find a point where he can let go of all of the pain he has undergone over the years, which leads to Lucius abandoning Lucifer and dismissing him as nothing more than a human meat bag lost in the self-pity cave of an emotional wreck. Lucifer would suffer an altercation in France shortly after. . . . He would not be seen for quite some time.
September 1992
Lucius sets out on a voyage to other regions, this time to The City of Angels, Los Angeles, California, United States of America, however suddenly Lucius receives a letter captioned "Happy birthday brother" on his 17th birthday. It wasn't a happy birthday. . . .
Lucifer, now going by Garfield sports orange hair .. .
Garfield started fresh and learnt morality through the life of a lowerclass french family, they taught him their principals and accepted him as one of their own; Garfield would continue to work as a farmer with no memory that he could easily buy out that farm a million over with just spare change.
This was until at age 21, Garfield saw a picture of one Luke Herrington in Forbes Magazine whilst doing errands in the city in which led to him figuring out his identity; with his memories slowly rehabilitating over years.
October 1992

The time hits 11:58 PM, Lucius pauses, having reached the street in which he had stared at that english girl nearly 9 years ago. Lucius would begin to cry, for about 120 solid seconds, looking up at his watch as it hit the 25th, it was Christmas alright..
25th December 1999

During this month, himself and a few of his brothers would make the effort to befriend Quinn Leighton, millionaire car-dealership citizen. This month is where Lucius' encountered Jerry Herrington: The Polar Bear, in whom was feral at first, but warmed up to Lucius who himself keeps many exotic pets. Lucius' being one of the many to care for him, and to eventually own him. During this month, construction of a large wall - to cover the Herrington estates would be built, this was in order to combat local crime.

November 2018
The Police perform a brutal and violent raid upon the Herrington Estates, many of the residents being detained and hurt during the process, in some cases one being beaten by a brutal cop. . .

March 2019

Luke would then rebrand the then Miller Industries Tower to Herrington Towers, a building Lucius' has been living in for quite some time. This all happens during the height of the election. . . Quinn Leighton vs. Luke Herrington. Due to this, and much to Lucius' annoyment, Luke disbands KAGE, transforming the remains into what would become the Secret Service of Karakura. However, on the day of the elections the polls totalled in 62.5% in favour of Quinn Leighton. . . The Herringtons had finally failed at something... Lucius devastated would finally force his concept into action, with or without Luke's help . .. In which Luke would eventually solemnly agree. . .
During this month, Lucius also proposes to Genevieve, the mother of two of his four children. . Luke would goes to the liberties of planning his wedding including having the marriage site be officially constructed, alongside two of his brothers (Nathan and Amanadiel) whom happened to all propose around the same time . .. This was a relaxing thought in preparation to the major event. All four of Lucius' children appeared for the wedding, marking three out of four of their first appearances in Karakura.
The marriage was splendid. . . Albeit in hindsight, none of these relationships would last. The Herrington family went to a lot of effort for this marriage, even purchasing the Herrington Yoaht and taking the ol' Private Jet for a spin. . . It was a night to remember. . .
May 2019
During this time, there had been great civil unrest between the Police of Karakura, and it's citizens. . KAGE, taking note of this would use this to portray themselves as a sort of 'robin-hood ********* organisation. where in REALITY... KAGE's real endgame would be to create a mass stir of panic . . . And a war of the greatest proportions... This great civil unrest was later magnified on January 30th 2019, with the grand reveal of the Karakuran Special Assault Team, otherwise known as SAT, a group of total lengthening 300 officers in all of Japan, with equipment ranging from flashbangs to carbine rifles, having the option to choose a primary firearm, options such as H&K MP5A5, MP5SD6 and MP5K submachine guns, to even Howa Type 89 assault rifles and M4A1 carbines. As well as sidearms such as H&K USP, S&W M3913, Glock 17, SIG Sauer P226 and Beretta 92 Vertecs, this was grouped with sniper units which had the options to use the H&K PSG1, and L96A1 AWP respectively, with the Karakuran Special Assault Team being the host of 6 truly terrifying members. KAGE at the time, stood to the people as more of a figure of hope. . . It was the only thing capable of fighting against the tyrannical police of the time. This tension rose during the infamous Battle of The Dogs where KAGE would defeat not only their largest opposition, The Wild Dogs but also kill then KPD Commissioner Martin Sadaki and his entire team of high-ranking officers. This would cement KAGE as the Titan of the Criminal Underground. Nobody could face them, not even the Police.
June 2019
Lucius and his brothers grandiose plan would come to fruition. . It was to be a Great Undertaking, a plan conceived by KAGE higherups, Lucius, Luke and Amanadiel Herrington as well as Azrael Pierce. . The idea was there would be two teams, MIZUKAGE and KAZEKAGE. .. One team targetting Lord Mayor Quinn Leightons Mayoral Office (in which they planned an arson.) and the other team targeting the Police Station in order to distract them long enough, however an issue arised when Lucius did the calculations and realised, their 50 members would not be able to distract the entire KPD, whom then had 348 employed officers. This issue however, quickly solved by Luke. . . "We're a beacon of hope and of justice to these people . . I'm sure they'd join us given the chance. . Instead of just a simple distraction. . . we'll make it. . . A riot."
The extra help from the citizens, in which there was a might of over 400 caused too much of a distraction as they had hoped for, not only had they burned the Mayoral Office to the ground, but the citizens had killed every single officer in Karakura and to the happiness of the Herrington Family .. . Quinn Leighton was now considered a missing persons. It was now time that Herringtons finish their goals of taking over the town. . . They could finally run unopposed as a frantic mayoral election was held by the larger region in which Luke would be running fairly unopposed.
July 2019
The election process, in which itself was very rushed ran for 28 days and 28 nights before the last polls were handed in. . . The Herrington Family were very confident in their potential victory as, now there lay no opposition. . There was no police, no government and no beloved Mayoral Figure in order to tarnish their plans. .
30th July 2019. . . "Election Day."
This victory would lead Luke Herrington to serve his first of two terms as Lord Mayor of Karakura. . . This being the last milestone stretch the family had wished to achieve . . Now it was just time to implement all of the changes they wished to add to the city of Karakura. Surprisingly, Lord Mayor Luke Herrington was the most competant Mayor the City would ever have . .. Implementing many things over his reign, the major thing being insane socio-economic growth in Karakura, now were the days where the AVERAGE Citizen could purchase a car, no longer the days where only the rich and privledged could buy a nice apartment. . . During this time period, Luke would rebuild Karakura Highschool to be a much larger building that could also house the College students of the day - in which the College was demolished and replaced with a new Herrington Holdings Incorporation mall, The Shopping District.
August 2019
Garfield Herrington & his wife Ahmya Herrington arrive in Karakura whilst Lord Mayor Luke Herrington begins to set up his position as Lord Mayor, employing a whole new batch of Police Officers, as well as issuing reconstruction on the City. This month Lance, Dylan and Marcel Herrington joined the highschool football team.

Luke; feeling the stress of the gigantic workload; invites Garfield to join the Black Market on the request of Lucius. . . He humbly accepts and the brothers work hand in hand in creating a better world together.
October 2019
Garfield and Amanadiel let slip that they are black market dealers to an overlooking Marcel, whom wishes to become a black market dealer . .. Reluctantly they bring it forwards to Luke, whom accepts the request. . .
December 2019
The Herrington Family having now accomplished their goal of setting up operations in Japan begin to leave Karakura one by one, others whom have made lives here choosing to stay; even for just a little bit longer. Lucius begins to spend more time with his children back home, leaving Lernaean mostly to fend to himself, this is right after a rough divorce with Lernaean's mother Genevieve. . .

Apart of a Series on;
HERRINGTON HOLDINGS INCORPORATION is a British Multinational conglomerate company founded in 1892 by founder Darius Herrington, the great-grandfather of the current CEO Luke Herrington. The company started out as a steel manufactoring company "acier" and would later feel a large economic boost during World War I and World War II with the abundance of steel the British needed during these two wars. Because of this the Company was able to become a Fortune-500 company and is one of the most famous Holding companies in the world, having provinces in nearly every major country and at least one in every continent.
HERRINGTON HOLDINGS INCORPORATION is controversial for their bad relationship with environmental practices as well as their general bad press regarding human rights and other socio-political axes, however it is still one of the largest conglomerates in the world despite of this, being considered too big to fail by the business sector of the world.
