Droveth has been in Hoth for about 5 months now and since then he has been a dynamo of activity and a constant voice in the House/Clan chats. If he isn't congratulating someone on an award he is there to keep spirits high as others are working on any event that comes our way.

More importantly, since his last promotion, he has participated in 68 competitions. earning himself 2 Anteian Crosses, 1 Crescents with Ruby Star, 3 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 7 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 12 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star and 1 Crescent with a Quartz Star. Not to mention his 1 Legion of the Scholar, a Seal of Loyalty, 36 Clusters of Ice and 32 Clusters of Graphite.

He has been a powerhouse in Hoth for quite some time especially with taking first place in the latest House Event Suspicion on Solyiat. This is of course not to mention taking first place two months in a row (June and July, 2017) in the The Scimitar of Lord Hoth and a second place in May.

Droveth always comes out when it's time for the big events and I'm happy now to be able to promote him entry into the Equite Ranks!

Congratulations, Droveth you more than earned this promotion!

Droveth, a name you hear often, especially when it comes to big competitions. The man is a powerhouse and has proven himself over and over as a true competitor who is worthy of entering the Equite ranks. His sportsmanship, positive attitude, and competitive nature are a great asset to both House Hoth and Clan Odan-Urr.

For all of your exploits above and the great attitude that comes with it, I give you a hearty congratz. Great work and I am honored to help welcome you into the ranks of Equites.

Others will speak to Droveth's activity and presence within the Odan-Urr community, but I would like to focus on one particular event that highlights his spirit and why he has already proven himself worthy to advance to the Equite ranks.

Droveth completed four matches in the GJW ACC prelim. That may not sound like much until you consider those four included senior ACC veterans like Dante, Kordath and Atty as a Knight. He didn't have to keep taking matches, he could have gotten frustrated and taken his participation and called it a day, but he didn't, he kept going. He gave his best, learned from the judge's comments and never let the formidable opposition break his stride. That, is worthy of recognition.

His journey to Equite has been longer than many but Droveth has proven himself worthy of the title. Congratulations and thanks for all you do for COU!

Droveth (Wade) is one of those members that you know will go far in the club. He’s one of those positive presences within the Clan and a constant source of encouragement to others within Telegram. One thing that stood out to me during the ACC Prelim event, aside from his persistence to contribute activity despite the odds he stood against, was his repeated reminder to the other members of the truest form of the club: “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. If you’re having fun, that’s what matters.”

To me, this is the mark of a true leader and someone worthy of the Equite ranks. One that leads by example. Droveth is not in it for the personal accolades, the position or recognition. He raises the morale within the community by reminding others through his own actions that enjoying yourself through the process of competing in various forms of activity is the most important part of being a member of this community.

It’s been a long time coming, and I’m proud to welcome Wade into the Equite ranks.

Congratulations!

Jasper has been a dynamo of activity in House Hoth for the last few months and since her last promotion, Jasper has participated in 39 competitions and co-organized 1 as well. Within those 39 competitions, she has earned 1 Anteian Cross, 3 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 3 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 6 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 3 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 1 Crescent with a Topaz Star. Not to mention her 26 Clusters of Ice and 30 Clusters of Graphite.

Ever since Jasper joined Hoth she immediately brought a gust of fresh air and fun back into the House. She immediately took almost every Clan member's telegram profile pic and decorated them with flowers. So to say that Hoth was covered in a flowery bouquet would be an understatement.

Her fun light side attitude infected the House and the clan with such a wave of good vibes people started feeding off it and it got more people actively chatting and having fun in the House and Clan telegram channels.

So at this time, it's my pleasure to promote our beloved Jasper to the Equite ranks! Congratulations Jasper Arlow you earned this!

Jasper Arlow, a partner in crime when it comes to lifting up the spirits of one's fellow clanmates. Jasper did this through her gifted talents as an artist and spread magic along the way. To borrow a famous earth-based wizard quote and massage it a bit "Ah Art, A Magic Beyond All We Do Here!". You may be correcting the quote right now, but in any case, know I mean it.

Sharing art with others is priceless and it creates bonds. As Jasper's Rollmistress, I am immensely proud of Jasper's ability to bring smiles to our members' faces and make them feel welcome. She has not only done this through her flower activities but also through her proofing efforts. Over the entire DJB wide ACC event she helped proof for countless Odan-Urr ACCers, often with her own dramatic flair, aka ART! It made stressful times happy and gave everyone a laugh when we all compared them. She did this for several Clan members either impromptu or by request and made the community a better place in the process.

Her absolutely wonderful community spirit really elevates her to the rank of Equites and proves to her Clan that she is not only a team player but one that helps out others along the way. To Jasper, I hope you already knew that but just in case you didn't, you are awesome and your art is magical. Keep at it and congrats on a well-earned promotion to the Equites!!!!

(We have lots of new members. I'll bring the hugs if you bring the flowers :D)

Jasper has had a direct impact on the Odan-Urr community from the moment she arrived. She has been a beacon of levity and positivity in our channels and in addition to her own impressive activity, which others have covered, she has enriched our community by sharing her gift of art. Jasper took it upon herself to spruce up member's telegram avatars with lovely flowers, create stickers and little doodles for members and last but not least, her morale raising method of art-based ACC proofing kept everyone's spirits high during the GJW ACC prelims and contributed to COU's success in that event.

Things like these do not jump off a dossier, aren't easy to quantify, and generally read like fluff in a recommendation but they are so critical to the health of an online community like ours and Jasper being her bright self has unquestionably helped make COU a place where people want to be. Thanks for everything you do Jasper and congrats on this well-earned promotion!

Jasper is half of the double suns that shines good feelings and happiness into COU's and Hoth's chats. Beyond this she is a pretty formidable force in the various competitions in the DJB. Of late these have included the House Hoth story arc, Suspicion on Solyiat (where she took 3rd), the recent ACC tournament, and lastly the DJB wide "May the Fourth be with you" competitions.

To me the entrance into the Equite ranks marks a monumental time in a members DJB career. How they enter into it, to me, determines how high they will rise up. Jasper has been a double threat in the realms of writing and graphics. I am happy to see that she is joining us in the Equite ranks, and I believe that based on her activities that she will go far in the DJB.

Congrats and enjoy this very well earned promotion!

General Daniel Stephens, 2017-09-13 16:03:30 UTC

The first time I met Jasper Arlow, it was through a random private message months before I joined Odan-Urr. The reason? She decided that my avatar needed a flowery crown to complete the image. I didn’t ask and I certainly wasn’t expecting it, but it accomplished (subconscious or not) the task of raising the spirits of a member she barely knew. Jasper managed to bring a smile to my face during a dark time.

What few people know is that, prior to that message and image, I was highly considering transferring to the Rogues or closing my account. I had become jaded and stopped enjoying myself, automatically going through the motions of activity. This message reminded me of what I enjoyed within the club — bringing enjoyment to the members.

Whether it was divine intervention or simply a timely stroke of luck, the flowery crown on my avatar convinced me that my favorite activity was through serving the members and making sure they were given the recognition they deserve. It was because of this that I decided to apply for my current position.

That’s just the kind of person that Jasper is. She raises the morale through her artistic talent and bright personality. Others have spoken of her activity and contributions to the community, but I thought I would speak to the character that shines from the person. Between those many contributions and her ceaseless drive to make everyone around her smile, I cannot think of anyone more deserving of joining the ranks of the Equite.

It’s been a long time coming and you’ve more than earned it, Jas. Congratulations.
