Primary reason

In addition to his extensive work for and activity in Arcona and the club at large, as detailed by his clan summit below, Eleceos has been one of my most reliable staffers in renovating the Shadow Academy. Eleceos was the sole author on Personal Starships, developing 2500 words of course notes as well as the exam. After developing the framework for Personal Starships, he created the course notes for the sister course, Personal Speeders, addressing land vehicles.

Even though the Possessions system launched almost seven years ago and starships received a special upgrade system three years ago, until recently the SA effectively ignored how member-owned starships work in the Brotherhood. What we had instead was, judging by my PMs, some of the most widely feared courses in our catalogue. Although we're still working on migrating those from the course catalogue to the wiki, Eleceos' work already provides members with a clear and comprehensive guide to how to realize their dream of having their own X-Wing.

Additionally, Eleceos was one of the very few HM staffers who has stepped up to help with grading any courses the professors haven't taken care of within 16 hours of submission. This has been a big help in ensuring we maintain our standard turnaround of under 24 hours.

Thank you for all your hard work and congratulations on your first case of ED!

Additional reasons

Eleceos, also known by his aloof Chiss doctor's name Rhylance or just Rhy, has been hard at work since his last award back in February. So get ready for some stats mixed with blind Miraluka jokes and blue doctor cracks.

Since that last award of his, our resident blind bowman (whoever let him have that thing needs to get their head examined) participated in 227 competitions (bumped to 257 if we count ze containers and brackets) and organized an additional 27. Of those, he placed in 170, an impressive 66% placement rate. Seems the science Chiss found the formula to all those puzzles he was churning through. His next biggest activity though is fiction, cranking out shy of sixteen thousand words (specifically 15,831 words) across 4 fictions, 9 participant roleplays, and 3 roleplays as the DM, earning him 32 Clusters of Ice. He's also an avid gamer, collecting 234 Clusters of Earth from a whole bunch of Cards Against Humanity, where we can only assume he channels his inner Rhylance and associated questionable ethics. Because it's the ones that are karked in the head that win that game. Eleceos also found quite the niche in the art world between at the art comps he participates in (earning 66 Clusters of Graphite) in addition to the stuff that he simply does for fun. Though we don't know how he sees any of it through his blindfold. Hell, he's even managed with this busy schedule to pass 3 courses and knock off a Shadow Academy degree in the process.

Now his bosses will touch on the particular deets, but just for moar numbers purposes, it's worth mention that Rhy's also kept busy as Magistrate to both the Headmaster's and Fist offices, grading exams for the former and running games for the latter. His work for the Headmaster has specifically earned him 3 Scrolls of Foundation in addition to his course creation and curation work (more on that from our resident HM). But with all this said, it stands to reason that Eleceos hasn't been blind to the goings on in Arcona and the club. He's been tap-tapping away in Discord on the regular, conversing and sharing art in equal measure when he's not busy competing or magistrating (which my holonet says isn't a word, but he's the science Chiss, not the spelling Chiss; he won't even notice).

But truly, Rhy has continued to remain ever-present in the Brotherhood and Arcona since stepping down from his Consul spot rather than going into full retirement mode. And that's something we notice, appreciate, and couldn't do without. So while I've injected mostly just numbers for our doctor, hopefully it won't make him blue-da-ba-dee. Congrats Rhy! Thank you for everything and keep up the awesomeness.

Ele, Rhy, or whatever he may go by, is one of the constants of our community, always participating, reaching for new goals and new numbers, and always happy to help and mentor his fellow members, including his current apprentice. He's quick to offer an ear or hug, enjoys developing fictional assets, running competitions, coming up with personal benchmarks and cheering others on to their own goals in Societies and Rankings, and he's always sharing, as Q mentions, not only his art skills but his time. He'll offer to make character images or Possessions portraits for other members at the drop of a hat, and has done several full color pieces for his clan mates and brethren out of kindness alone, including Sagitta's ship most recently. It's hard to say if there's a day that goes by where he doesn't do something, even if we'd hope he gets some rest.

I know it won't be long before you're attaining new heights, cousin, so until then, know we appreciate and see all you do, and that you are worth beyond measure. Enjoy this emerald stabby.
