Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz is a great asset to our House. Over the past two months, Amiz has preformed amazingly in his job as the Battleteam Leader of Hex, inspiring activity from a team that has seen little or no action since Hel-Pa Sklib left for Dinaari. His enthusiasm and consistent activity on both the member level, and as well as the leadership level are refreshing, considering the winter trend towards inactivity and dormancy in many others. It is my opinion that when it is time for the next generation of Member to step up and take the reigns of command, Amiz will make a great leader who will be able to drive up member activity, and Initiate retention. Recently, DarkAmiz was tasked with a small project, along with fellow Jedi Hunter Lokasena Corvinus, and Envoy Alanna Taldrya to draw up a “Glossary of Terms” for the younger members of the Clan to use, but the project was canceled when it was discovered to exist already on the DJB Wiki. The Jedi Hunters as a group were then given a vague assignment to draw up a Planetary Dossier and Profile of the House’s planet, Taruma. They were given only the simplest of commands, and no clear leader. In this atmosphere, as he had done in the Project before, Amiz took control and began guiding his peers in the direction they needed to head. It’s been through his efforts and his control that the project has advanced this far and gladly offers progress reports to the Quaestor and I each week. Besides being a strong leader, he is also a strong member. Every week I am guaranteed to find at least one Medal Request with his name on it for a Cluster of Fire, and at least one more for a Crescent. Amiz takes all new courses at the Shadow Academy when they are revealed, and has a strong presence on the Clan, House, and DB IRC Channels, as well as applicable mIRC Channels. He can also be found on AIM, MSN Messenger for those in the DB who cannot make it onto IRC for what ever reason. Because of his consistent work effort at the House Level, his consistent dedication at the Member Level, and his steady attempts at better his Battleteam Members and peers, it is my sincere and great honor to Recommend Jedi Hunter DarkAmiz for his Promotion to the Noble Title of Dark Jedi Knight. May this saber serve you well Amiz.

The promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is a long and arduous path in House Ektrosis, and few have the skill, dedication, and loyalty that the Summit demands when granting Jedi Hunters their sabers. My comrade DarkAmiz has went above and beyond what I could ever expect of anyone in their quest for their final steps in the Journeymen ranks.

Earning two merit awards, Amiz has demonstrated his loyalty and long-term dedication to the House. He's been in the Brotherhood longer than I have, and as a Battle Team Leader and now Quaestor, he's been with me for the majority of my time here. Always eager to do whatever was asked of him, always willing to take the next step, and consistently a good person.

His level of participation is unmeasurable. Hosting three of his own competitions, along with some Tal trivia here and there, he participates in almost every competition he can get his hands on within his House and Clan. That's no exaggeration either. As a Battle Team Leader he has done marvelously. His reports are detailed and precise, he promotes activity with great effectiveness, and is a role model for any Journeyman.

Amiz recently joined the gamers in the club, and has earned 82 clusters of fire to this date. His passion for the Shadow Academy has also shone through, as he has completed fourteen exams to this date. He also is a member of the Antei Combat Center, and participates in matches with other Brotherhood members regularly, adding to his all-around nature I've learned to appreciate.

The statistics aside, the main thing that sticks out to me about Amiz is his leadership potential and personal charisma. Even if he did not have an official leadership position, he was willing to run events and host competitions. He currently is the leader of a massive Ektrosis project that is developing the demographics, geography, history, and culture of our homeworld Taruma with a team of three other Jedi Hunters. While some of the other Hunters slip in and out of getting their assignments that he has organized in on time, Amiz always does anything he sets his mind to. I'm pretty sure the word "quit" does not exist in his vocabulary, which in the end works out for him and his peers. An active member on the forums, IRC, and email groups, DarkAmiz truly is the model Ektrosian.

I am honored to award you the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, and I only hope these trends can continue throughout the duration of your time as a Dark Jedi of Clan Taldryan. Congratulations Amiz, you've earned it!
