Raiju Kang, though a recent arrival to the Ascendant Clan (or recent returnee?) has demonstrated that he is the sort of consistent, reliable producer of activity in the seven months since his last recognition. With competitions both entered and hosted, he has driven activity personally and for other members, and he has been a positive and engaged contributor to our little corner of the Brotherhood community since landing feet first in Plaguies.
Individual activity wise, Raiju has entered 92 competitions since his last recognition, placing in 31 of them. Those placements netted him 3 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 9 Amethyst, 7 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, and 1 Topaz crescent (stopping short of the elusive Quartz!). His nine gaming activities earned him a total of 23 Clusters of Earth as well as 20 Clusters of five. His 1,936 words of fiction contained within 2 fiction activities also brought him 5 Clusters of Ice. He was, apparently, tearing it up in the realm of Brotherhood graphics, however, with 49 Clusters of Graphite for his work in that arena. A nearly fifteen year veteran, Raiju also proved that it is never too late to go back to school while passing 26 Shadow Academy Courses and earning 5 different Dark Side Degrees (2 Pundits, and then one each of Maven, Savant, and Sage). Additionally, he also hosted a warm up event for his former home of Clan Odan-Urr in the lead up to the recently Completed Great Jedi War, with nine sub-vents that helped his clanmates better prepare for the struggles of a Brotherhood Vendetta by offering things such as events like Battleplan rarely seen outside of the Vendetta setting. His ten total hosted competitions show that he is one to offer opportunities for his fellow members, not just one content to sit back and consume so to speak.
It is my great honor to recognize Raiju for his work in the Brotherhood as the current Consul tasked with the job. I know Odan-Urr must have felt lucky to have his contributions through the first half of 2022 as well, as I am sure they will expand upon. Thank you, Raiju, for your continued devotion to all the parts of our Dark Jedi Brotherhood!

Raiju is a powerhouse with his activity, as detailed above, and has consistently demonstrated a strong community mindset. Nothing had shown this more than when he came to me early on about organizing a series of competitions that would get the Clan geared up for GJW XV. COU Prepares For War ran for two weeks. Each week was a phase and included event-long competitions as well. Using trivia on the current war fictions, a puzzle, flash game, fiction, battleplan, and graphics, he presented the members with what they’d likely see once wartime began. The Clan hit the ground running due to his diligence, and with his help, we hit a record number of participants.
Additionally, Raiju took part in our weekend community events, but not just as a participant. He hosted a total of 4 gaming events in the months of April and May, mostly SWTOR heroics and flashpoints, and had also introduced us to a new one, One Night Werewolf, which had a pretty impressive turnout.
Thank you, Raiju, for your efforts while under our roof. Congratulations on your Sapphire Blade!

In addition to what has been covered by others I would like to highlight Raiju's contributions that the site does not necessarily track. I had the pleasure of serving as Raiju's proconsul during most of the period since his last recognition and I cannot echo Selika's comment about what an asset Raiju is to a unit enough. It's not every day a unit gets a wise and experienced leader like Raiju who is passionate about the member base and helping develop young leaders.
Proposals, by their very nature, do not always see the light of day but that does not diminish the thought and effort that go into them. Raiju stepped up to try to help mentor a relatively young house summit with content ideas, worldbuilding and more concrete initiatives like his war prep competition series. He will continue to be an asset to the membership of the Brotherhood as well as any staff or unit he is a part of.
