A lot of things could probably be said about Roxas, but the first words that pop into my mind are “devoted” and “committed”. Those two words are the ones I think best describes how Roxas is to Clan Naga Sadow.

In the two years that have passed since he was promoted to Obelisk Templar he has served as a battleteam leader for four months and he has earned several Crescents and seals. He has also earned over a dozen Clusters of Ice showing his high activity in run ons. Not to mention earning a couple of Novae in the Crusade.

He has also earned four Dark Crosses, three Anteian Crosses and a Steel Cross for all the work he does for the betterment of Clan Naga Sadow.He even earned one of the elusive Dark Side Scrolls for having his characters wiki article selected as the featured article in September 2012.

Roxas is one of those people you know will always be ready to jump in if a new run on starts or when when you need some wiki work done.

For being one of the most devoted, loyal members I have I would like to promote Roxas Buurenaar to Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations Roxas!

I’ll probably be lynched for saying this publicly but... Roxas sort of reminds me of myself when I was his age -- in the Dark Brotherhood, not in real life, I never said I was old! I see the same fire, the same passion, that sometimes used to get me into trouble, but which ultimately led me to where I am today. Whether it’s in his almost endless supply of enthusiasm, or his constant activity, Roxas is one of those people that I wish we had more of.

Looking back at this past year, Roxas has been amassing medals almost every month, winning Crescents and Novas, taking home an assortment of Crosses for his contributions either during Vendettas or else as a Battleteam Leader in engaging with new recruits - even without needing anyone higher up the Summit to have prompted him, he has constantly been getting involved in regular run-ons and storytelling, he is one of the few still on IRC, the list goes on.

This is what a good Equite should do, and is what Roxas has been doing.

I often talk about how if Journeymen and new recruits are the lifeblood of this club, then Equites are its beating heart, because without those enthusiastic members like Roxas to show them, those new members wouldn’t have any reason to get involved. But when I look at things like the run-ons and idle banter that Roxas takes part in, I see an enthusiasm that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood needs to see more of. Nobody is inspired by the crusty old elder, but by the eager, enthusiastic youngster, and that is what I see in Roxas and commend him for.

For this, I extend my support to Roxas’s promotion, and hope that as he climbs the ladder he doesn’t lose any of the thrill and excitement that still rubs off even on an old timer like me.

Oh, Roxas. Here is a guy who never gives up, no matter how much he gets beat down. It seems as if it could be Roxas against the world and he would keep going… and keep showing us what he can do. Roxas has been active in pretty much every Crusade chapter, despite real life obligations and other stuff going on. He's been a Battleteam Leader and constructed a 'Team from scratch, only to have it suddenly end. Yet he continued on, and he's still here. He's active in Runons and competitions, and keeps playing just for the joy of participating, knowing until recently that there might not be an easy way to move up. But he didn't give up.

Personally, Roxas and I have not always gotten along, but we get over it and talk and I consider him one of my buddies. We might be a little different, and I might think it's weird that he named himself after a Kingdom Hearts character, but I think he's more than deserving of this promotion. It's been a long time coming, through Vendetta, Crusade, two Battleteams, and even a featured wiki article when it was said he'd never do it!

Congratulations, Roxas!

Roxas has been up to much good since he made his debut as an Equite. Very active and an overall a person always working to better themselves and those around him. He's a field general, which prompts people to match the intensity around them. Since becoming an Equite+1 he has been a forever constant in the active department. Contributing to a number of competitions, to long to mention them all. Awarded many Crescent's and earning from a Dark Cross to a Steel Cross in that tenure.

He was a good BTL when he took the mantle of the Darkest Hour, focused on keeping his people busy. Which was the right attitude when it came down to it. Roxas held this position for a number of months all the while participating actively in the Feud. Even after his run as BTL, he was still very much active. Making his presence known in the Dark Crusade, also earning his share of Novae's as well.

I think Roxas has earned his passage rights for darker enlightenment. Congrats Roxas!

I’d like to take a moment to throw my hat in the ring in favor of promotion to Obelisk Prelate CNS’ very own Roxas Buurenaar. His history and performance have been more than sufficient, he’s even got more Anteian and Steel Crosses than I have, and these are service awards, not just handed out for perfect attendance. Indeed, the man lives, eats, and breathes Clan Naga Sadow. Enough so, in fact, that during my first time as Quaestor, I put him in charge of a Battleteam.

Roxas has one other trait though, one that I think carries far less weight than it deserves. Roxas is LOYAL to his clan and clanmates. He greets people as Vod when they enter the clan channel. That carries a lot of weight with me, using the Mando’a term for brother to greet his clan. I think that it’s high time Clan Naga Sadow repaid their hound of war. Please consider Roxas’ promotion to Prelate.

You can say a lot about Roxas.. but he is one of the base members around. Whenever there is something to do - wherever people are needed, our Mandalorian warrior Roxas is there. I am a bit jealous for his enthusiasm (which he never seems to run out of). He even held a position as Battle Team Leader.

Looking at his activity list, it proves that he is a continuous pool of activity:
11 Crescents, Lots of Clusters of Ice, 4 Dark Crosses, 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Steel Cross, 6 Seals of Affliction, 3 Anteian Crosses and 1 Legion of Scholar.

These rewards prove how much he deserves this promotion.

Thank you Obelisk Prelate Roxas Buurenaar, you did an awesome job!
