Over the course of this most recent period of activity, Blackhawk has once again demonstrated the steady engagement, versatility, and leadership that have become hallmarks of his membership. His contributions span fiction, gaming, and organizational activity, and together they form a clear case for recognition with the Sapphire Blade.
In this span, Blackhawk has participated in 50 competitions, taking home 12 Crescents in the process, including 3 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 1 Sapphire, and 1 Emerald. That is a placement rate of nearly 25%, reflecting not only a high level of participation but consistent quality in his work across the board. His gaming record has been particularly strong, with 45 activities completed, earning him 260 Clusters of Fire and 18 Clusters of Ice, showing a reliable presence in both PvE and PvO arenas. On the fiction side, he has contributed more than 9,000 words across a mix of fiction and roleplaying, including 2 regular fiction pieces (1,448 words), 5 roleplay sessions (6,751 words), and 1 DM-led session (803 words).
Beyond direct participation, Blackhawk has given back to the club in tangible ways. He has organized a competition, judged in the ACC, and continued to advance through the Brotherhood’s societies, achieving 9 rank-ups, including in the Grand Master’s Royal Guard, Envoy Corps, and Shroud Syndicate. Each of these marks a different dimension of service, reinforcing that Blackhawk’s activity is not limited to one pillar but spread across the Brotherhood’s full spectrum.
Taken together, these efforts paint the picture of a member who has contributed broadly and consistently at a level worthy of high recognition. The Sapphire Blade stands as the Brotherhood’s traditional award for Equites who distinguish themselves through exemplary activity and leadership across multiple fronts. Blackhawk’s record here meets and exceeds that standard. For his sustained excellence in competition, his creative and narrative contributions, and his ongoing commitment to the success of both Clan Plagueis and the Brotherhood as a whole, I am proud to recommend Blackhawk for the Sapphire Blade.
