Here we are once again bringing you another large list of accomplishments by our own Agate Gua’lara. I haven’t seen continued dedication like this by anyone... in anything… ever. Her many accomplishments are truly remarkable as she remains one of those members who take every ounce of what this Club offers and rise through the ranks faster than anyone I’ve ever seen.

Since her last promotion, which was only back in May, Agate has participated in 118 competitions! She’s earned 5 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 13 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 8 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 3 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 4 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star, 1 Pendant of Blood, 8 Clusters of Fire, 10 Clusters of Ice, 28 Clusters of Earth, and 86 Clusters of Graphite. Just look at the 209 Clusters of Graphite she has. She gained over 1860 points in the Shroud Syndicate giving her a Rank XI spot in a little over a year, just from her artwork!

Agate has also completed 1 Shadow Academy course and wrote 3337 words in 7 Fictions and 2 Run-On posts. For completing all the bins in the last GJW, her efforts helped to secure Odan-Urr a third place finish and earn for herself 20 Seals of Visions, various awards plus a very nice Bronze Nova. Back in August, she earned a Grand Cross for her amazing efforts but most notably for using the descriptions on our Notable Fauna page to hand draw the Samuris, Varritul and Dolly Cat. Nobody asked her to do it, she just did it on her own. This same drive is what keeps her churning out competition after competition and monthly Scimitar victories.

Thank you Agate, this was well earned and I am proud to see you be elevated to Equite 2!

Agate has been a wonderful addition to our star wars family, not only for her activity but for her community additions as well. For the former, it's been an absolute pleasure to see Agate’s contributions to Odan-Urr sponsored events all the way from her Battleteam, House, and Clan. This consistent dedication makes a Consul smile and I just wanted to say that we really appreciate all that you do for Odan-Urr. To put a spotlight on your art for a moment, it's been wonderful seeing you add such wonderful additions, whether it be art depicting our heroic missions or creatures on Solyiat. In addition, she has participated in 2 community events, where each one required her to set aside a few hours of her day, which she did despite the time zone difference. During these events, she grew character bonds and made friendships with her fellow clanmates, which help cement bonds and strengthen the Clan. For example, helping teach us more about TOR. :) I just wanted to say that we really appreciate all that you’ve done for Odan-Urr. Hanging out with your fellow Odanites and participating in our competitions helps make a stronger Clan and a stronger family. Thank you for being a part of it. Congratulations on your promotion!

Let me take you through a small story. When I met Agate I didn't realize that they were new to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and Clan Odan-Urr. On telegram I lead them through the process of how I design characters just trying to help them out and I formed a small friendship with them and asked Blade to be their master. At first it was a bit of a struggle because of our time differences. I guided them as best as I could to write their character's fiction simply because I came to the brotherhood as a fiction writer. What I really learned from Agate is what an amazing artist they were, and have loved every single piece they have completed for competitions. It also came later that I found out they were also a gamer and we enjoyed what were my Saturdays of running flashpoints with other members of Odan-Urr. In the end they had written enough of their fiction, they had done enough Shadow Academy courses and then was knighted. As a Knight they kept doing what they had always been doing and completed more artwork and gamed even more until they were promoted to Equite 1.

As their master even though they had been knighted I feel like to this day that they had put in the hard work and in my heart they are more than deserving to be promoted to the next rank and fully deserve to be an Equite 2 and be the same rank as me. I am proud of everything they have done.
