Master Alaris Jinn, 2009-02-19 15:20:58 UTC

Dark Jedi Knight Lokasena Corvinus has for the past year been a staple of this house’s strength, activity, and leadership. His personal participation in every available competition is only augmented by his vocal support over house and clan email groups to encourage others to do so as well. This is a vital skill to a potential leader as they learn to inspire activity and push members to do more.

As a leader, he tried his hardest to work with the poor cards dealt to him as a Battleteam Leader: attempting to motivate inactive or even AWOL members, he accounted his attempts to the House leadership through bi-weekly reports and email. As a Battleteam Leader, I found Sena to be very responsible and an asset. Even when he’s been regulated to the status of Tyro, and no longer leads a battleteam, Sena still continues to lead by example through activity and participation.

As a member, Lokasena enters nearly every competition, and has for the most part placed in nearly everything he has entered. A brief overview of his history outline shows 19 crescents, three dark crosses for periods of impressive or extended activity, and five Seals, won during the Independence Games last summer.

Lokasena spends plenty of time on IRC and has a very high presence on the House and Clan email groups, as well as the Clan and House forum boards. His communication presence is unmatched in the entire clan.

For his work as a leader (both a positioned and un-positioned member), communication, and explosive personal activity, I hereby request that Lokasena Corvinus be elevated to the Equites by a promotion to the rank of Krath Priest. He is long past deserving this accolade. Congratulations and welcome to the Krath Order, Priest.

Elevation Request: Obelisk Prelate OT Drodik Va'lence al'Tor (4793)

Drodik Va'lence al'Tor has been an Obelisk Templar for four years. In this time, he has far excelled what one would expect from any member. Drodik has held six leadership positions (from Battle Team leader all the way up to Aedile). He reported for each position, and took care of the members in his units. I cannot speak of how he is as a leader, because I have not seen Drodik work as one, but I can guess from his ability to work up the ladder, that he is a good leader. As a leader, Drodik held and followed through with 19 competitions (such as [OriensObscurum] July CapAction, [Sacrum Diis] Lyrical Limbo, and [HOO] January Headliners).

This Templar took and passed 7 Shadow Academy exams (Astronomy, Force Philosophy, History of the Sith Empire I, History of the Sith Empire II, Krath Grammar Studies, Krath Poetry, and Marksmanship). He participated in the Feud between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Arcona, as well as the Uneasy Alliances Tri-Clan Feud between CSP, ARC, and Clan Plagueis. Drodik submitted to most events of both Feuds. In the CSP-ARC Feud, he won 3 ACC matches and placed 27th in the JO ladder. In the CSP-ARC-CP Feud, Drodik placed second in the ARC week three short fiction and won 4 ACC matches. Drodik also submitted to all 7 days of the Great Hunt 2, placing in 6 of them, and receiving 2nd overall for the whole event.

Drodik has received 28 Clusters of Fire, 22 Crescents (2 Ruby, 1 Amethyst, 9 Sapphire, 8 Emerald, 2 Topaz), 1 Dark Cross, 3 Dark Side Scrolls, 2 Seals of Darkness, 1 Seal of Remembrance, 1 Seal of Pain, and 1 Scroll of Foundation.

He has competed in the ACCLive tournament, created a DJBWiki page for himself, created a planet and its corresponding wiki page (Nythaspir), and a wiki page for his personal ship. Drodik has maintained a steady IRC prescence. He has revamped his character history, and recreated his character, and he wrote a 21 page fiction for the Heralds Shadow Ops competition.

Drodik also put together the al'Tor family, managing the wiki and website, monitoring members, and the IRC channel, changed the admittance requirements, wrote the history, and arranged for the crest to be made. He mastered 3 students, getting one to the rank of DJK and still mentoring one of them. As you can plainly see, Drodik is way overdue for a promotion, and I write this in the hopes that he does get one.

Congratulations, Drodik, and thank you for being a patient, and yet, still active member in the Dark Brotherhood.

The Equite ranks in the Brotherhood are the reward for those members who stand above and beyond the general membership. They are some of the most active and some of the most dedicated to the Dark Brotherhood. Drodik Va’lence al’Tor is the perfect example of this. Since last being promoted to Obelisk Templar over three years ago, Drodik has been quite active, completing fifteen Shadow Academy Courses.

Drodik served as Battleteam Leader to Sacrum Diis Brigade as well as Rollmaster and Aedile of House Oriens Obscurum in that time. He also was the recipient of 1 topaz, 2 amethyst, 2 ruby, 9 sapphire, and 10 emerald Crescents. He received 28 Clusters of Fire, a Seal of Remembrance, a Seal of Pain and a Dark Side Scroll. He also received 2 Dark Crosses and a Steel Cross.

Drodik is more than ready for his promotion to Obelisk Prelate and request a custom lightsbaer. Congratulations, Drodik!

-----**----------------------------------------***-----

Elevation into the second tier of the Equite class requires two very important ingredients: individual motivation and success in leadership. And I believe that Drodik has shown the necessary grit in both columns to merit this elevation that has been three years in the making.

He spent nearly the entire year of 2007 in a leadership position that ranged from Battle Team Leader to Roll Master to House Aedile. And in that time he provided constant reporting, competitions for his members, mentorship and direction for those within his Clan, rewards for those whom excelled and much, much, more. He was also personally active, a pre-requisite we seek in every member at every level. I will not dote on that, as both recommendations previous explain his personal accolades.

Another large aspect to any high level elevation is how a member conducts themselves. I have been nothing but impressed over the past couple of years with how this member has handled himself. Not once has he asked for elevation or award, created a dramatic situation... and he always offers to help with projects, mentor new members and do what needs to be done for the success of his peers and unit. That sort of attitude and dedication over the course of three years with over 10 months of leadership speaks volumes.

Congratulations, Drodik. I look forward to your continued advancement and progression in the Dark Brotherhood as both a member and a leader.

It is rare (in fact this is the first and only time) that I get to promote someone to Grand Master. Consistent with custom and tradition, I confer the rank of Grand Master on our new leader at the command of the Dark Council. Congrats, Muz.

Elevation Request: Protector ACO Aeshi (10439)

I have enjoyed watching Aeshi become part of this clan. And it is my honor, once again, to say she is ready for elevation to the next rank. She has satisfied the pre-requisites of the Master At Arms by competing in three competitions (Poetry with the Force, Graphics Warm Up, Who Do You Love), completed her ACC Initiates Exam, created her Character Sheet and has shown great presence on IRC with her availability and willingness to communicate with others.

Congratulations, Aeshi. I look forward to seeing you continue to grow and ascend to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

Toby has already been on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) talking with his fellow Clan members and he registered for an account on our Clan website to boot. All in less than a fortnight! For his efforts I recommend his first real promotion to the rank of Novice. Congrats!
