Equite 3
Requested by
Aedile Tali Sroka
Primary reason

It has been a busy year for this red furred Shistavanen! Since his previous promotion nigh on exactly one solar rotation ago, he has gone on to solidify his name among House Qel-Droma’s veteran members.

Having organized 11 competitions alongside a co-hosting, Archian has partaken in 161 competitions during the year! That’s a lotta comps! For all of these efforts, he’s been rightfully awarded aplenty, showing that he is not only an active member, but a skilled one to boot!

Amongst his accolades can be counted an Amethyst Kukri, a Sapphire Blade, a Grand Cross, a Steel Cross and a Dark Cross, as well as a Silver Nova for his exemplary performance during the previous Great Jedi War, during which he earned 10 Seals of Transcendence.

In addition to these outstanding awards, he’s gotten his paws on a pair of Ruby Crescents, nine Amethysts, twelve Sapphires, five Emeralds, three Topazes and a quartet of the elusive Quartz variety. On the Clustery front, he has produced enough literature to form a small iceberg with 78 Clusters of the frigid variety, laid a solid groundwork with 35 of the Earthen variety, and finished off his Graphite model with 60 carbons.

For the better part of the year, eight months in fact, Archian served dutifully as my Aedile, aiding in the running of the House, collating performance data, hyping up activity, and helping me maintain the House reporting schedule. I was saddened to see him go, but a man must put his pack before all other things—which is something I truly appreciate about him.

Archian is a kind and caring soul, both in and out of character. He wishes for everyone to get along and to make sure nobody is left behind. He is loyal, diligent, and patient. He does not make a number of himself, or expect praise or reward for his actions, but always seeks to ensure everyone is having a good time and are taken care of.

During the recently tumultuous moments in Arcona’s Summit, he effortlessly acted as if he were still Aedile, calming emotions and acting as a rock amidst the storm so newer members might not feel afraid or be cast adrift. No-one asked this of him, and yet he did so without hesitation, displaying that a member may stop being in leadership, but not being a leader.

As a member rises through the ranks of the Equites, it is expected they grow and mature, beginning to shape the Club around them and leaving a legacy of their own. Though I suspect Archian did not set off with any intention of doing so, I can say he has achieved that nonetheless and left his pawprint in all our hearts.

With great gratitude for all your hard work, and with the best wishes for your future endeavors, I am proud and honored to recommend Archian be promoted to the rank of Corsair.

I really had some big shoes to fill... but Archian didn't wear any shoes. That's how powerful they left their legacy. Their leadership was seen once again when we hit a rocky path with Arcona for a moment and it inspired me. Thank you for your presence, it was needed.

I love Archian's passion of creatures in DJB and canon-wise, even though we do get a bit concerned with how worried they are about Rancors.

Congratulations on the rank up! If only we can give you a nice big shiny bucket.

Primary reason

The Red Paw'ed one himself. Archian is a bundle of feathers, fur, claws and tails but that chaos doesn't stop him. Tali can speak far better to his term as Aedile and overall proficiencies as a leader so I will just stick to the numbers on this one.

In his 8 months as Aedile, Archian ran a total of 12 competitions, only 1 of which as a co-organiser. Not only that but since his last award Archian participated in a total of 182 competitions, 22 of which were containers, working hard to pull in 35 placements, one of which being a Silver Nova from the most recent war; Of which I'd be remiss to not mention that he earned 10 Seals of Transcendence for his efforts. Not that competitions are the only thing Archian makes a point of being involved in, Dm-ing 1 roleplay with 19659 words, as well as being involved in 11 other roleplays, conjoining with his fictions to create a total of 26 fiction activities for an even greater total of 78 Clusters of Ice. His drawings have collected 60 Clusters of Graphite and across 8 gaming activities our favourite red floofer earned himself 35 Clusters of Earth.

This is a pawsome amount of activity and while I said I'd let Tali handle everything else I'd love to draw attention to one other figure that I usually don't bring up in recommendations. Archian has made 34 news post comments since his last medal. That might not seem like a huge deal but considering how often I catch myself missing news posts, this is a small but mighty show of dedication to keeping up with the club and his interest in it.

I'm very happy to be recommending this award to you Archian, make sure to keep it away from Tajga!

Additional reasons

What is the most important quality in a DJB member?

I would argue it is dependability. When the going gets tough, when the inspiration wanes, and life encroaches, it’s truly the most dependable of members who remain active and rise above.

Archian ended his term as Aedile in September 2023, having served ten months in the position, to focus on his family. The timing was tumultuous, in the middle of a Great Jedi War, and for a moment I had my doubts.

I needn’t have.

Not only did Archian continue his sterling work to inspire, goad, beg, borrow, steal, and lead our fellow Arconans into a victory with high participation rates, but he did so without missing a step. And if that wasn’t enough, during the recently tumultuous times in Arcona’s leadership, he stepped in, unbidden, to calm the spirits of a distraught membership, acting as an oasis of serenity amidst the roiling emotions.

I cannot stress enough that he acted as a leader, by example and in words, without prompting or request from active leadership. It just goes to show how dedicated and dependable of a member he truly is, pulling through without a second thought whenever Arcona’s needs are dire.

During his service as Aedile, he displayed similar characteristics, going about his duties of diligent data collection and report writing to such an extent that I barely needed to focus on more than the fictional side of things. And when schedules transpired against my timely submission of a report, I could count on Archian to finish reports on my behalf and get them posted for our membership—including the frustrating Markdown error hunting that is always a delightful end-mile chore when you think you’ve got the report all sorted.

In planning, he acted as a sound sounding board, providing equal measure of caution from over-exerting the membership with too many back-to-back Events, as well as an enthusiastic promoter of ideas during the “Paladins Arc” that saw Republic lawmen seek to bring Port Ol’val under some semblance of Galactic rule of law. I could always count on him to co-run competitions and to find suitable artwork, flash games, and other thematic additions to spice up the flavor of the arc’s competitions.

As a leader, and member, Archian has and continues to this day to exemplify positivity and enthusiasm—even if that enthusiasm tends to smell of Bantha and leave your clothes full of cat hair. He is a staple of our community and builds stories and relationships in roleplay with his wide array of characters, best exemplified in the absolutely massive roleplay he ran in August centered around his wildlife reserve that attracted a huge interest. Rarely have I seen so many people so concerned for saving animals from poachers, which only goes to show how he has left his furry pawprint in all our hearts. <3

For his invaluable and long-standing efforts as Aedile and beyond, I am honored to recommend our dependable zoologist Archian be awarded this curvy and purple cutter!
