Better known as Orion or Ori in chats, Sera Kaern has been a workhorse since his promotion in November ‘20. Going through the raw numbers, he’s organized 11 competitions, co-organized another 4, and participated in 91 competitions! This included participating in the recent Rite of Supremacy: Escalation, earning him a solid 16 Seals of Enmity. In May ‘21, his work earned him his first sacramental award, a Sapphire Blade, after which he didn’t let up. In total, of the competitions participated, he’s placed in 31; an over 1:3 ratio for placements, and proof of his quality work. Of these placements, he earned 2 Gold Novae, 4 Silver Novae, and 25 other Crescents of various kinds. While gaming has only netted him 1 Cluster of Fire, his prolific writing — over thirty six thousand words across fictions and run-ons — has earned him 108 Clusters of Ice, while his time spent in the artsy world gained him an additional 19 Clusters of Graphite. A stint with some trivia also gained him a Legion of the Scholar, and his steady influx of recruiting garnered a Scroll of Indoctrination.

Outside of his general activity, Ori is a regular in the leadership and service scene. During this rated time, he finished out two months as Battleteam Leader of Spectre Cell; a position in which he effectively functioned as House-level leadership by building competitions and developing the ongoing House plot for the sitting QUA and AED. When the House leadership changed out, Ori stepped up to take the reins as Aedile in December ‘20 to a demanding Quaestor. Since then, he has been a font of behind-the-scenes activity, working to make House Galeres the best place it could be. He is a positive presence for the House: always chipper and energetic to a point that sometimes we need to tell him to stop and breathe for a second. He runs House roleplay sessions, aids in developing our ongoing House plot, and is an active participant in the same as much as he is a creator and organizer. What’s more, he is learning, getting better and better with the regular necessary administrative tasks, developing his knowledge and experience as a force for good among the membership. Idris will no doubt talk about his work as M:Voice, but it is worth mention that Ori is a regular source of discussion over character sheets and the less-talked-about projects that are always burning somewhere.

For all this, and assuredly more, I recommend Sera “Orion” Kaern be promoted from Savant (EQ2) to Seer (EQ3). Thank you, Ori.

Ori continues to be one hell of a magistrate for the Voice office. His thoughtful approach to managing the CS system, coupled with a genuine desire to make every member’s character the best they can be has been a real asset to the team. His remands are thoughtful and professional, guiding and encouraging when many should be nothing more than frustration to deal with. Ori never complains or shirks his duties on the staff, and I know when he is handling a sheet it will be done with the utmost care.

Even when not directly handling a sheet himself, his insight remains excellent, and his suggestions on how members could improve are never hampered. Since his promotion in November of 2020, Ori has handled 103 sheet approvals (approximately 25% of the manual approvals processed) as well as dozens of remands.

Outside of the normal queue maintenance, Ori remains a driving force of positivity towards our various Voice projects, and a very active participant in discussion around new feats to add to our system.

Congratulations Ori! You’ve earned this.
