Mr Soft Paws, we meet again. It's been a long time since we got to convene for a promotion for you so let's get straight into it.

Doon has been leading the Voidbreaker for over a year now, running competitions and back in December a rp-mission event with a twisty-turvy story and is already in the plots for new things that I'll leave to others to discuss more deeply. Since his last promotion Doon has organised 9 competitions, co-organising 1 and has participated in 55, 12 of which containers and in doing so earned 2 Amethyst Crescents, 1 of Sapphire, 4 of Emerald and 2 Topaz. He also earned a seal of Loyalty, a Silver Nova and 11 Seals of Transendence. This has been in lieu of partaking in 25 roleplays, Dm-ing 6 and doing 5 other fiction activities, writing 144 Clusters of Ice worth of words. He has also completed 17 gaming activities, gathering 84 Clusters of Earth and because he's just completionist like that, he also grabbed 4 Clusters of Graphite along the way. All of that activity has seen him rise through the ranks, hitting two rank ups for the GMRG, 4 for the Inquisitorius, 2 for the Shroud, 5 in the Players Gonna Play trophy and 4 in the Dm-ing Rp trophy tracks for the Envoy Corps. This, all while doing what I stated above in his actions as a Battleteam leader.

However he has been more than just the typical BTL. Tali has this noted on Doon's dossier:

"Doon displayed exemplary leadership and support to our placeholder Consul, Zuza, during the tumultuous shakeup in Arcona's leadership. He aided Zuza in crafting the membership-facing announcement and provided his own guidance and explanations towards the members of Clan Arcona to tide us over the worst of the storm."

And while this may be touched upon by others I'd like to go indepth on this. Because Doon was a vital piece in the transition period this January. Every report I made, the application I sent to Bubba, all of it had his paw involved. He built skeleton structures for me to work off of when I had no idea where to start. Which happened more than once frankly. He provided wordings that said the words I truly meant when I was struggling to find them for reports and channel announcements, without any hesitation or judgement. He was on the ground with the members but he was an anchor keeping me steady. Doon spent hours not just helping with all of that, but just talking to me. The amount of rambling he put up with that month in VCs is probably more than I'd actually want to write down in a permanent medium.

Doon is a quiet person, many might not know him too well outside of Qel-Droma, but if there is anything to know about Doon, it is that he is there when it matters. Not only will he do everything he can to not only support you, he'll be there to make sure the job gets done. That is a trait of a leader that you can't really teach and one I'm happy to cherish.

Enjoy the extra skill points Doon, they're more than deserved.

Doon's career as BTL has taken a clear and distinct upwards trajectory of late, though I will not claim this has anything to do with my guidance. It takes a village to raise a child, and so too I will say it takes to raise a BTL. I am glad that Doon has received the mentoring and guidance from my peers to help him flourish in his position and I am more than pleased to see all the ways he has grown and continues to develop as a by-now permanent fixture in the Arconan Summit!

I hired Doon back in ye olden days to run RPs and spice up that side of the club's activities as they were new and novel at the time. I am glad to see that this has been achieved and then some!

Doon has also found his voice in the Summit, both as a helpful aide to the House Qel-Droma side of things, but also the Summit in general. He has grown to understand and appreciate the Arconan spirit as a whole and his voice carries much gravitas despite ostensibly being 'only' a BTL.

It has been my utmost pleasure to work with you, Captain Softpaw! And I look forward to seeing what future adventures you will guide the Voidbreaker II and her crew to!

All the best and congratulektions on a well-earned promotion!

When I became QUA, I was completely frayed with nerves but Doon was a welcome presence. He was there when you needed him.

Zuza and Tali already covered a lot about him so I'll just cover a few surprises coming up! Doon has an amazing idea for the Voidbreaker soon and I cannot wait to see that roll out! He also did great storytelling when he ran a Voidbreaker rp back in 2023!

Seriously cannot wait to see what more stories he'll bring to the table.

Congratulations on hitting Equite 2!!
