Elevation Request: Dark Jedi Knight JH Strats Grimm (9366)

Strats Grimm is one of the most promising Journeymen in the Brotherhood today. His time in House Satal Keto has been full of activity and even crossing into the world of Leadership. Since reaching the rank of Jedi Hunter, Strats has received a Quartz Crescent, 5 Topaz, 4 Emerald, 2 Sapphire, and 1 Ruby Crescent; clearly competing in several competitions across the DB. He participated greatly during the 2k8 Independence Games, receiving 12 Seals of Remembrance and a Steel Cross for his particpation, as well as placing in two events.

He was also appointed to Sith Commander of the Battleteam Satal Victus, HSK's Battleteam at the time. During his tenure there he pioneered the BT Posititional Placements, assigning every member of the BT a specific job during battle, and he also updated the Wiki Page to include these, as well as details surrounding those positions. He ran numerous competitions while in this position as well including, but not limited to, a SV Logo Design Comp and a Beta Base Design Comp.

He also continued his work in the Shadow Academy, receiving both the Dark Mavens in Philosophy and History. He also completed the Force Philosophy, IRC Channel Operator, Krath Core, Leadership Fundamentals, Old Republic History, and Starfighter Studies Courses. Strats has also been active in run-ons participating in the Crimson Conclusion and also a recent 1-on-1 Run-on with Braecen Kaeth. Strats remains active on IRC as well. Strats Grimm is more than ready to receive a promotion to Dark Jedi Knight and construct his own lightsaber. Congrats, Strats. This is well deserved.

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

I am honored to preside over the elevation of the Hunter Grimm. Especially, as I have worked so close with him as a member, a leader and a student. This is one of those elevations that I will always remember.

Strats has been a Jedi Hunter for over six weeks, collected a merit award and a bucket full of crescents. He has participated in fifteen (15) competitions and them some; spanning across his House, Clan and the Brotherhood. As a leader - part of his major House task - he ran countless competitions without the assistance of his superiors and brought about great changes in the Battle Team that have laid ground work for the next generation of the Team under Vivackus.

He has passed both leadership courses, earned two Dark Mavens, and helped write a brilliant story as his final fiction piece. A story that will be wrapped into the Clan Plagueis War of Ascension. And created a quality wiki article for his Battle Team: Satal Victus (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Satal_Victus).

His fulfillment of the Master At Arms requirements combined with his tenacity and activity make him a worthy candidate for Knighthood. Good work, Strats.

Elevation Request: Dark Jedi Knight Jedi Hunter Vivackus Kavon (9219)

Vivackus Kavon has been my student for quite some time now, and he has gone above and beyond the duties of an Apprentice. Throughout his Apprenticeship, he has not only worked to complete promotion requirements that were in a constant state of change, but he has fought to adapt and improve himself under conditions that crush most Journeymen.

Since the time Vivackus came into Clan Plagueis and began his climb through the Brotherhood’s time-tested rank structure, he has worked to push the limit and further himself and his Clan. When told he had to write one fiction for a promotion, he would go out and compete in competitions that he didn’t need, just to improve his skills. When he needed more skills for run-ons and the like, he sought me and others out for experience and practice. All of this pales in comparison to the sheer adaptability and endurance he has had as a member of Clan Plagueis.

For almost all of its relatively short history, Clan Plagueis has been a place of grand heights followed by horrible drops, a place where the activity level and the leadership backbone fluctuated like the tide in a hurricane. Even in this state, he has refused to give up. Even when almost everything he had to his usage was gone, he held out until the storm had passed. Having had to wait for a time when a new Consul essentially implants a new Clan in the place of a corpse, Vivackus has proven his mettle and strove to adapt to the changes and push forward through the grit, the nonsense, and the utter foolishness of how this Clan has fluctuated. He has climbed the ladder even as it changed in length and design, taken each step of ever-shifting requirements, and it is this that shows he has finally earned elevation to Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations, Vivackus.

Kal Vorrac Proud Master

---------------------------------------------

I am honored to preside over Vivackus' ascension to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Where he shall turn his back on the Journeymen ranks and look forward to the tumultuous, hard-earned ranks of the Equite Class. His competitive edge has been honed by discipline and I know he will go forth to do great things as a leader and role model.

Since his last elevation, Vivackus has fulfilled the requirements set forth by the Master At Arms. He has spent more than six weeks at his current rank, earned a merit award, collected a crescent, participated in over fifteen competitions, completed both Leadership courses (General & Fundamentals), created and ran multiple competitions and completed a major task for his Clan Summit. In the same time, he has collected sixteen crescents (4 Cr-A, Cr-S, 3 Cr-E, 2 Cr-T, 6 Cr-Q), three (3) Clusters of Fire, a Legion of the Scholar, nine (9) Seals of Remembrance, a Dark Cross and an Anteian Cross. Additionally, he has earned his first Dark Side Degree (Dark Maven: Philosophy), ran three additional competitions (and started two new ones as a BTL), posted his first leadership report, created his Wiki page (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vivackus), written his lightsaber creation fiction, participated in five Antei Combat Center matches (W-L record of 4-1),

For his Clan Summit task, Vivackus served as a Consul's Aide. During his internship, he learned how to run an AWOL, draft and send weekly mentorship e-mails, write recommendations, propose/award competitions, differentiate between what is deserving of a promotion and that which deserves a medal, audit clan mailers, answer new member questions and other Envoy-related tasks. In each of these tasks he was asked to perform a practical demonstration of his mastery; learning from his successes as much as his failures and repeat attempts. Additionally, he assisted me in redefining the parameters for giving Battle Teams more fictional depth in creating position duties. Great work, Viv! Keep it up!
