When I picked Knight Aiden Lee for AED, I never suspected what I signed up for. He has surpassed all expectations in the role, from day one. I have had some hard times in the last few months; and he has helped beyond the requirements of AED. He's essentially running the house for me.

Since last merit award, Aiden has organized 11.... it's been 2 months... 11 Competitions. All of this has been on his own. Not only does he walk the walk; he talks the talk and has competed in 37 Competitions. Not ONLY THAT but he has delivered placing in 13 of those 37 competitions. That would be 35% of competitions entered he's placed in the top 3. That's a helluva lot of work. On top of that, he has passed 5 courses and earned 3 degrees. Does it stop; no of course not, 9 PVP matches, 5 PVE activities, 4 ACC battles, 3 Fictional Activities, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. 5,670 words of fiction, 1 POB, 52 clusters of fire, 18 clusters of ice. You want to define merit? This, this is Merit.

Leadership, is more than words, and often is more than action. It's how you serve the goal; the members you lead; and those who are senior in leadership. Aiden is on the path to greatness within this club. He is deserving of this high award of merit; not only due to the ferocity of his actions towards generating activity; and leading activity. But the servant leadership he displays towards his house; and clan; and the club as a whole.

Additional reasons

Best Aiden is truly becoming a force within Taldryan, and this force is starting to trickle and drip into the wider Brotherhood - and it is becoming quite apparently that he's earned his moniker of Best. Since his last Dark Cross, Best Aiden has organized 11 competitions, many with very high levels of participation, and he's on track to organize half a dozen or more haiku competitions in the coming weeks. He's competed in 37 competitions, placing in damn near half of them. Additionally, he's earned himself a Pendant of Blood, 52 Clusters of Fire, 18 Clusters of Ice, and earned three Shadow Academy Degrees.

For this hard work and his dedication to both Clan Taldryan, and the larger Brotherhood, we are proud to award Aiden Lee a Steel Cross! Congratulations!

Primary reason

Best Aiden (Rhylance) has been an example member of the Voice Staff over his 5 months of service as a Magistrate. During this time, Aiden approved 15 Character Sheets for members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, a process that involves carefully reading the details of every Character Sheet that gets submitted. This includes but is not limited to ensuring that physical descriptions are written correctly, weapons loadouts are formatted properly, and that custom Aspects are balanced and fit within the infrastructure of the Approval Guidelines. For those that are not on staff, this is not always the easiest of tasks because it often involves using constructive wording and feedback when effectively telling a member "no" or "you did this wrong." It's very easy to deter a new member with the wrong kind of language, but Aiden has approached every Character Sheet that's come his way with poise, patience, and professionalism. This ultimately leads to happier members while also maintaining a consistent standard with approved Character Sheets. The site only tracks approval metrics, however, and also omits the follow up emails and communication that often occurs when helping a member re-word their Aspects or reformatting their weapons into a bullet point list in markdown per the Approval Guidelines. Sometimes, members need to be assisted multiple times, so keeping patient and constructive is something that is important to staff members, and an area where Aiden really shines.

Beyond this, Aiden has been an active voice in discussions that have taken part over the Voice Staff telegram group, where most policies and changes are discussed. He has weighed in on multiple policies that have been updated and helped proof read whatever documents I passed his way. The two most noteworthy ones are the Voice Staff Resources hub (wiki article) and the NFU Disciplines documentation (google documents). Whenever I've asked for feedback, he's always given me it, and carries himself with a collected level of professionalism I think sets the bar for other leaders in the Brotherhood to follow. His assistance helped me easily transition into the Voice position by having someone I trusted keeping an eye on the Character Sheet queue and offering advice and help to new and returning members.

Thank you for all your hard work, Aiden.

In Great Jedi War XV, Eleceos created 15 entries and qualified for all bins with 100% participation points, an effort that greatly aided in Arcona’s event-leading participation ratio. In total, he took home 2 Gold Novae, 1 Silver Nova, and placed 4th and 9th in two additional competitions.

Outside of the war, Eleceos participated in 49 total competitions, of which 30 earned a crescent with a star. He’s similarly earned 33 Clusters of Fire, 12 Clusters of Ice, 10 Clusters of Earth, and 10 Clusters of Graphite while bringing in 383,770 credits for the Clan.

Eleceos’ continued calm, optimistic presence in the Battleteam has been a boon to Voidbreaker. We’re lucky to have him, so I’m proud to help award him this Steel Cross.
