I’ve had the privilege of being a part of writing each of Atyiru’s awards or promotions. As her Proconsul and then Consul, I’ve spoken volumes about her positive attitude and the effect it has on the rest of the Clan. I’ve spoken about her eagerness to help others in anyway she can. And yet, here we are again, 9 Months since her last promotion.

In those 9 months, Atyiru has not only been an active Aedile for House Galeres, but one of Arcona’s most active members to date. She was awarded a Sapphire Blade for this combination of leadership and her performance in the Dark Crusade. She also earned a Grand Cross for taking the time and effort to assist with the Character Sheet overhaul project--a project that has seen widespread adaptation across the club. As a proofreader and content-creator, there are hundreds of small things that members take for granted each day that have a trace of Atty’s work on them. (Namely anything I wrote and is actually spelled correctly). She earned a follow-up Steel Cross for her participation in the ACC closed BETA, helping provide invaluable feedback. She has collected 2 Dark Cross’, one for helping Sarin with a task for the Voice office, and one for submitting a worthy “Ask The GM” question. All of this shows how Atyiru is not just an active leader, but an active member of our club. She has also, to date, been an active participant in the Fading Light Vendetta, a full participant in the Run-On and now ongoing ACC Tournament. She also earned a Seal of Loyalty for her continued dedication to the club.

Beyond that, Atty is always there as a friend. She is patient, rational, and treats everyone (new or old) like they are important to her. This empathy rings out when helping aleve frustrations of members either with each other, other leaders, or even other units. Atty also has helped out with countless drawings for Clan Arcona’s fictional story-lines, providing 3 high quality and personalized images for Operation: Sojourn. Over the holidays, she took it on her self to draw every member of the Arcona Summit in head-shot form for the Arcona Calendar, and has helped multiple members with creating renditions of their characters. She does this with a smile, and never asks for anything in return.

I’ll also add that Atty is my official proof reader in conjunction with Legz. I will not typically post a report, newspost, or clan update without having her first check for my repeated use (or lack thereof) apostrophes when writing possessives. (This recc will probably make her cringe, because I didn’t have her to proof it for me...oops :P).

Members like Atty are simply rare. She shows up everyday for work with a smile, on time and prepared. She makes everyone else that works with her better with her positive outlook and disposition. Never once has she vented frustration to me about lack of promotion or award. She keeps her head down and simply does what needs to be done. If i could clone this trait into every member of the Brotherhood, I think we would be an entirely different organization and everyone would be a bit less cranky all the time. Her selfless desire to help others without thinking of herself is endearing beyond anything else I’ve seen from a fellow leader or member of this club.

Thank you Atty for being you. You’ve earned this twice over, and should stand as the example of what an Equite 2 should be in this organization. I look forward to writing your next one. Keep up the great work, and get back to your street corner, hoe :P.

Consul of Clan Arcona

Lord Marick Tyris Arconae, 2014-06-15 17:17:49 UTC

I am honoured to be recommending Atyiru for her elevation to the rank of Equite 2. She has been a long serving and active part of House Galeres Leadership, my right hand and a key player in what has been an amazing year for Clan Arcona. She has helped not only drive people to achieve their very best, but also does the same within herself, which sets a high bar for others to match.

As Wally has explained all of her active and hard work in these past nine months, I will take a minute to talk about her work as a Leader in Galeres. She has been with me threw thick and thin writing monthly House Reports together as well as keeping the whole house informed of important news and updates that have happened. She has helped me motivate members no matter what the cause, whether it be Vendetta, or Clan Operation.

Just with everything she does she takes time to make sure her passion for the club is inspired within other members. Everything has a purpose and Abby has always made sure that her work has that same inspiration behind it, going that extra mile regardless of how long it takes. She will take the time to complete it to perfection. With that in mind its no surprise that Abbey has been my shoulder and support during my time as Quaestor of the House, relying on her to help me with ideas, medals, recommendations.

What makes Atty stand out is not only her work as Aedile, its the extra things that she does. She uses her own initiative to continue to build friendships with members and Battleteam Leaders alike. She makes herself a well known presence inside the House and Clan and has also continued to be a heavy proofer inside of the Clan, proofing well over a hundred different pieces of work no matter how small they are, always happy to help anyone how ever she can.

Atty has helped many of the House members with their character sheets, sitting down with them and explaining the mechanics behind the ACC. Something that takes time and devotion also showing her patience to help members with anything that they need done. Her workload is constantly heavy but never once has she complained, she just smiles, says “ok”, and gets on with it. Not wanting for reward or praise she is the embodiment of what a Leader should be inside of Clan Arcona. Helping sort out the journeymen as well is something that she has taken to recently, sending out emails and helping them to progress into a Battleteam inside of House Galeres. She keeps them active and focused on their continued progression inside of the Club, maintaining members easily and with little effort as well as making friends just as quickly.

For all of her hard work and effort I am humble to be part of this recommendation for her. She has been my friend, Aedile and right hand for a while now. Honestly I can say she makes my job as a Quaestor easier and is always at hand if I ever need any help. Thank you Atty you will never truly know how much I appreciate all the hard work you have done since stepping into this role. Keep up the hard work and I look forward to continuing to work beside you.
