Since I rejoined Clan Odan-Urr there has been a consistent and dedicated member I have kept my eye on. That member is Waza Sunrider. Back when I was PCON, I tasked him with revitalizing the ToR Guild which he took on with enthusiasm as he is a regular player. He breathed life into the Guild and still pushes members to play which is evident by the event he recently ran where he invited and encouraged members throughout the Brotherhood to come and play. While the turn out wasn’t what he expected (which is sometimes the case for these things) he showed up and was there to play with whomever decided to participate. He didn’t let it get him down and he pushed through. His tenacity and commitment is one of the main reasons I hired him as the Battleteam Leader of the Proving Ground which is a BT geared towards showing new members the ropes. It is a role that he doesn’t take lightly as he consistently sends messages, reminders, and competition advertisements to the members of his team while guiding them through the ropes of the club. This includes checking in on them through email and discord chat on a regular basis to keep our newer members engaged and constantly moving forward. In working closely with him. I would consider him one of the better friends I have made, not just in the clan, but in the club. He is so important and has been a key player in the Odan-Urr’s success and I’m so glad to have him on my leadership team. In addition to his mentorship, Waza also actively participates and chooses to lead by example. He has participated in 31 competitions and organized 1 of his own earning himself - 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 2 Crescent with Amethyst Stars, 4 Crescent with Sapphire Stars, 3 Crescent with Emerald Stars, 3 Clusters of Fire, 51 Clusters of Ice because where he has truly shined is in RP. He has amassed 16,594 words in just 3 RP activities, 7194 in 3 DM, and 1795 in 2 fiction entries. He has also earned 3 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 1 Scroll of the Master for mentoring a student to JM 4, and 11 Seals of Transcendence. Waza has done an impressive job and thanking him with his first Sacramental is an honor and privilege. Thank you for all that you do, brother!

Primary reason

Even though Waza is a recent transfer into the Clan, he has made his presence felt both in his Discord chatting and activity. Since his last recognition, Waza has participated in 51 competitions, 8 roleplaying sessions, and DMed a session of his own. He has garnered 2 Cresents and 27 clusters during that time. He is always an encouraging voice to his clanmates, seeking to bring out the best in them and helping them live their best DB life.

Congrats Waza!

Additional reasons

Waza was always a pleasure to deal with, serving Odan-Urr as a long-time Summit member, acting as the intake point for our newest members during the run of our Proving Grounds Battle Team from its inception through to its closure he got to know and assist many of our newest members as they found their voices within the Club, furthermore he was always a strong advocate of roleplaying activities within the Clan, very rarely was one opened where Waza was not in participation. While his last few months of service were slowed due to health issues, he still carried on the flame through conversations in the Summit Chat, pointing the way for the rest of our Summit to engage with new members and continuing outreach with new joins who had been mostly silent since their arrival in an attempt to find a perfect fit for them within the Clan.

While we were disheartened to hear of their decision to leave Odan-Urr, it came at a time when their health was returning and they were seeking a change to help them regain activity and find themselves within the Brotherhood, and seeing them do just that has sparked a sense of joy within me.

Here's to many more awards, and many more activities Waza!

Ever onwards, my friend!
