Shadowkind serves as yet another example of what a promising member can be, and why all members should be repeatedly re-engaged, even when they go distant or dormant. When he came back after Eiko reached out to him, he quickly and willingly jumped right in to earning his ranks. He quickly picked up competitions, including participating in and running trivia for the House. He has also demonstrated an amazing talent for the arts.
What has been perhaps most surprising, and most definitely welcome is the humble, devoted, caring attitude Shadowkind has for his fellow members. He's always first in to diffuse any tension. He's always there with a supporting word or a quick assist if people need help. He's there to be a member of the House, not just blindly grinding away towards promotion.
Shadowkind is the member everyone wants, and few ever get. Talented, devoted, with a great attitude. His promotion is very much well earned.
Congratulations Shadowkind. May your last step towards Knighthood begin with a smile and knowledge that we value and appreciate you, and everything you do.

As of this morning (March 9th), Shadowkind has met all the requirements for the rank of Jedi Hunter. With ten competitions under his belt and serving an active participant in our House across IRC, the forums, and our email group, he has proven his activity.
And with a 1st Place finish in "Once More Into the Breach!", running his own competition (#5610 - Descension of Innocense), and five complete pages of character fiction that I loved reading, he has more than aced the requirements for Jedi Hunter.
He is a model of what we ask Plagueians to be.
I am greatly blessed to get to work alongside Shadowkind in this club. He is sharp, talented, perceptive, motivated, and friendly.
I hope you continue to enjoy this club in the way that you have been enjoying it for the last few months, Shadowkind. Keep your focus, and Dark Jedi Knight won't be far away at all. In fact, I can see it peeking up over the horizon right now.

In the very short time I have known and worked with Shadowkind, I have been excited to see the enthusiasm and energy that he has put into his work. Iâve watched as heâs shown a great deal of activity on the house e-mail list. Heâs helped motivate and inspire his housemates to perform to their utmost. To see someone whoâs not in any leadership capacity rally others like he has is a very pleasing thing indeed. He has shown great potential towards being the sort of member that will go very far in the Brotherhood. I look forward to his push towards Knighthood and his future endeavors with great eagerness.
