Ophelia Delacroix,

Now that is a name that when I hear it, a smile comes to my face. Since first joining House Marka Ragnos as a member, Ophelia has been an active participant and has been a very valuable asset to the Clan. When I became a Quaestor for the House, I saw great potential for Ophelia and took him as my Aedile. Since becoming Aedile, he has been a wonderful partner in planning and coordinating events within our House.

One of the major plans was to create a small competition where our members could relax and participate without feeling pressured. I didn’t have to ask twice before Ophelia had already come up with several ideas along with adding in the feedback I had gathered from my members. All I had to do was just enter the information and soon we had the Rest and Relaxation House Marka Ragnos Style up and running.

Even before he became an Aedile, he was always eager to help get things done. Before Sanguinius had left to become proconsul, he had asked Ophelia if he could write up some wiki articles for the background to some NPC characters for our Retribution ship. He came up with ten NPC characters and had written over 16,000 words of fiction. That impressed me very highly. Along with writing, He has already written 7,214 words of fiction

He is a team team player who works alongside others. In the Clan event: Firestorm, He participated in every single one of the activities. During The World is Not Enough Run on for Firestorm, he was one of the main team players that helped his other teammates to continue to write.

Because of his willingness to help get things done, participate and come up with ideas, he has earned a Steel Cross, Two Anteian Crosses, three Crescents with Amethyst Star, Five Crescents with Sapphire Star, Five Crescents with Emerald Star, tow Crescents with Topaz Star, eight Pendants of Blood, Thirty-Five Clusters of Fire, Twenty-Nine Clusters of Ice, and a whopping one hundred and ninety five clusters of earth!

In addition to this, he has also earned a scroll of the Master and two legions of the Scholar. His studies in the Shadow Academy also include twenty SA academy courses completed and seven degrees gained.

He has also organized and completed ten competitions on his own, co-organized three competitions, and participated in a total of sixty one competitions overall.

Some of his positions have also been Battleteam Sergeant for four months, Battleteam Leader for six months, and an Aedile for about a month now.

As for the non-quantifiable things he has done, I have found him to be an active presence on telegram that always has information about games from time to time or just can help bring a smile to your face. He is a delightful member that I can rely on to get things done in a pinch, as well as trust that he will help to make our Clan and House a fun place to be in.

For your dedication, hard work, and willingness to work alongside House Marka Ragnos and Clan Naga Sadow, I am pleased to promote and welcome Ophelia Delacroix to Raider. Congratulations on this well deserved promotion!

Ophelia is a gigantic pain in my arse...

He comes over here from Plagueis, comes up to me and goes...I'm bored, give me some work. I'm sat here thinking, the nerve of that guy! Of course, I'm a devious git, so I decided to give him a huge project. I demanded that he create 10+ NPCs for the House, give them a full background and I wanted a quick turn around. I then sit there with a smug grin on my face thinking that'll keep him busy for a bit.

Imagine the look on my face when 48 hours later, Ophelia comes to me and says that he's written 18,000+ words and created 10 NPCs with a full background, each with 1,500 words+. I'm sat there thinking...holy crap, this guy is legit.

Ophelia has been a welcome addition to Marka Ragnos and Naga Sadow. He has completed all tasks I give him, those as a member under my Quaestorship and now those as a summiteer as I act as Proconsul.

Opie/DD/Tarry/Dee Dee/Gigantic Pain... they all work as names for him. I was pleased when Tasha decided to take him on as Aedile, it meant that she could continue to make him suffer and do even more work.

Added to this, despite recently becoming a father, in the past couple of days in fact!!! Ophelia has continued to have a fantastic presence within the Clan methods of communication, encouraging members to compete in the fun and friendly House event that is being run and working with Tasha on future projects.

For all of his work since his last promotion, covered by Tasha, Ophelia is more than deserving of the rank of Equite Two. He has become a producer, rather than a consumer. I hope to see him continue along that path with the chance that he has been given and also continue to be a gigantic pain in the arse for me, as it means that he's making me do even more work!

Congratulations, you old fart. <3

Proconsul of Naga Sadow

Ophie came around from Plagueis, I didn't know him. I don't think anyone knew him here, aside from maybe Sang or Cethgus. This great unknown suddenly starts spouting nonsense in chat, doing all these activities, pestering me for a student. I was like "Whoa, calm down man."

Now, a few months later, he stands as one of us. An Aedile, an energetic person who not only posses a drive far beyond most members, but genuinely wants to improve the experience for others. There is barely a task to which he has not lent a hand and not an idea in which he has had something valuable to contribute.

He has performed exceptionally well during our most recent event, and has taken a character that he thought he'd love, but didn't, far beyond what we expected to see. Now that he's back with the character he came to us with, I expect to see great things both in- and out of character.

I'm proud to help elevate this new addition in Naga Sadow, to the second of the Equite ranks. Congratulations Ophie!
