Primary reason

CSP's own little ball of chaotic witchy pyromaniac. Rayne.

I have had the extreme pleasure of watching Rayne operate within CSP for the last 3 years. She has been nothing short of a shining star for the Clan. Rayne leads by example. She is omnipresent and supportive of the clan like no other person. She bleeds CSP.

Her participation numbers are second to none. Since her last medal she has run 1 competition, participated in 63 competitions, earning 22 crescents, a handful of clusters and a seal of loyalty, and ranked up in one society. Look back through the last 18 months and those numbers get absolutely gigantic. Her consistency is what really impresses me. Rayne has been one of the most reliable and constant members in all of CSP history. She deserves to be recognized for that alone.

What the site doesn't show is everything else she's done in her official roles within the Clan Summit. Rayne has been my right hand as PCON for 8 months. In that time, she has really stepped up into her role. Everything that happens in CSP Rayne has a say in. She has been an absolute sponge soaking up all the information that I can pass to her.

She has helped me in every single capacity that a PCON can. She helps run competitions with the QUAs. She guides the summit and contributes to every conversation. Beyond this, she's recently taken on a major project, remapping and fancying up Seraph, the Homeworld of CSP. This project involves the rewriting of political, geographic, and other aspects of the planet. She’s developed over 10 additional landmarks and has already updated the previous political breakdown to the past history of the Caperion system. This update has been needed for well over a year and if it weren't for Rayne taking it on, it wouldn’t have been done. She's shared updated maps with the Clan, and even taken to asking people where they live on the map.

Rayne has also been my sounding board and editor for all of the Clan fictions that have been published in the last year. She has personally reviewed everything and sent the details back to me with markups and suggestions. That is at least 4 publications reviewed prior to release. Beyond that, Rayne has curated a list of Mobile Friendly Games and activities that have been included in our past Clan level events. At her suggestion, we have begun to include more of these mobile friendly games in our activities and we’ve seen an increase in numbers there. The list is maintained on the CSP leadership Google drive allowing access from all leaders.

Rayne maintains our wiki pages, updating them where necessary. This is a project that she has been working on since she was QUA. She’s updated numerous pages, cleaned up our categories and Rayne has worked as my official sounding board for all ideas that I have. Beyond that, she has helped me to develop the model that we use to run CSPs day to day activities. Rayne also assisted the Clan in the development of several social media sites. While they are underused, the development of these social media profiles is part of an ongoing plan for recruitment and retention. She routinely monitors our members' activity logs and recommends the appropriate awarding actions. To put it plainly, I could not accomplish anything in CSP without Rayne's help

Prior to her time as PCON, Rayne served 7 months as QUA. In her time as QUA she contributed with the same vigor that she does as Proconsul. Most of her awards during this tenure were based solely on the XP she earned from the veritable hailstorm of activity that she was doing at the time. However, this is a great opportunity to acknowledge that her contributions as QUA did not go unnoticed. All of the work that was put in as QUA that went under-awarded did not phase her. She kept doing what needed to be done. During her time as QUA, she was the first to promote our activities, developed an idea for a CSP Clan Fiction Chat, where members can discuss their characters, undertook the wiki cleanup project, There is a reason that Rayne is where she is today: Her hard work and dedication to CSP.

Rayne is not only an excellent role model for the Clan, she is the future of CSP's leadership. She has learned everything there is to know about how to run our Clan and I look forward to the day where I can pass over the throne to her. CSP would not be the same without having Rayne in it. Keep up the fantastic work. Drinks are on you!

Additional reasons

Rayne has consistently served as a beacon of inspiration for our newer members, demonstrating thoughtfulness in her actions and remarkable patience with individuals who may not have always merited such grace.

In her role as Proconsul, Rayne has been a pillar of support for me, Kah’ri Marru, throughout my tenure as Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco. Prior to this, she served alongside me as Quaestor of House Caliburnus, exhibiting the level of dedication and commitment to the clan and its members that is essential in clan leadership.

What I particularly admire about Rayne is her nurturing spirit. She has taken several members under her wing, fostering engagement and encouraging everyone to excel in their chosen paths. Her innovative creation of the Imperial Development Channel has proven to be a valuable resource, aiding numerous members in weaving thoughtful narratives into their character’s stories. While I may no longer have direct access to her activity assessment, I am confident that her quantifiable achievements, as covered by Thran, stand as testament to this. Some of my most cherished memories from my three and a half years in this club involve Rayne’s contributions.

Rayne’s participation in virtually every clan-hosted RP is commendable (and memorable). She actively seeks to enhance the character development of others, reinforcing her role as a mentor within our community.

Much of Rayne’s past may be known only to Pepperidge Farm (likely by design lol), but one thing is certain: Rayne’s journey is far from over. She is truly deserving of this recognition, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for this award! Congrats, Rayne! You definitely deserve it!

Sniff, sniff Do you smell that? It smells like someone's burning, and that can only mean one thing... Someone's getting recognized! Of course, we're not talking about just anybody: We are talking about the very heart and soul of fire herself that burns within Clan Scholae Palatinae.

Through the years(and especially in the few short one's that I've had the pleasure of knowing her), Rayne has not only been an ever present member in the Brotherhood, but a treasured friend to so many, including myself. The list of her achievements and accolades continues to grow everyday, which is a feat of itself in more ways than one, but the thing that has always been admirable to me about her is the heart behind it all:

The Brotherhood is a community of fun loving people who, perhaps at first, came together to share in their common interest of Star Wars, but stayed together because of the friends they made here, and I can think of no better embodiment of that spirit than Rayne. She is supportive, caring, bold, and maaayybee a little crazy :p, but even more than that, she represents the best of us, and I think I speak for more than myself when I say that CSP and the Brotherhood as a whole would not be the same without her.

Here's to you, Rayne! May the flames of your success burn as bright as you do!
