Elevation Request: Dark Jedi Knight Jedi Hunter Vivackus Kavon (9219)

Vivackus Kavon has been my student for quite some time now, and he has gone above and beyond the duties of an Apprentice. Throughout his Apprenticeship, he has not only worked to complete promotion requirements that were in a constant state of change, but he has fought to adapt and improve himself under conditions that crush most Journeymen.

Since the time Vivackus came into Clan Plagueis and began his climb through the Brotherhood’s time-tested rank structure, he has worked to push the limit and further himself and his Clan. When told he had to write one fiction for a promotion, he would go out and compete in competitions that he didn’t need, just to improve his skills. When he needed more skills for run-ons and the like, he sought me and others out for experience and practice. All of this pales in comparison to the sheer adaptability and endurance he has had as a member of Clan Plagueis.

For almost all of its relatively short history, Clan Plagueis has been a place of grand heights followed by horrible drops, a place where the activity level and the leadership backbone fluctuated like the tide in a hurricane. Even in this state, he has refused to give up. Even when almost everything he had to his usage was gone, he held out until the storm had passed. Having had to wait for a time when a new Consul essentially implants a new Clan in the place of a corpse, Vivackus has proven his mettle and strove to adapt to the changes and push forward through the grit, the nonsense, and the utter foolishness of how this Clan has fluctuated. He has climbed the ladder even as it changed in length and design, taken each step of ever-shifting requirements, and it is this that shows he has finally earned elevation to Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations, Vivackus.

Kal Vorrac Proud Master

---------------------------------------------

I am honored to preside over Vivackus' ascension to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Where he shall turn his back on the Journeymen ranks and look forward to the tumultuous, hard-earned ranks of the Equite Class. His competitive edge has been honed by discipline and I know he will go forth to do great things as a leader and role model.

Since his last elevation, Vivackus has fulfilled the requirements set forth by the Master At Arms. He has spent more than six weeks at his current rank, earned a merit award, collected a crescent, participated in over fifteen competitions, completed both Leadership courses (General & Fundamentals), created and ran multiple competitions and completed a major task for his Clan Summit. In the same time, he has collected sixteen crescents (4 Cr-A, Cr-S, 3 Cr-E, 2 Cr-T, 6 Cr-Q), three (3) Clusters of Fire, a Legion of the Scholar, nine (9) Seals of Remembrance, a Dark Cross and an Anteian Cross. Additionally, he has earned his first Dark Side Degree (Dark Maven: Philosophy), ran three additional competitions (and started two new ones as a BTL), posted his first leadership report, created his Wiki page (http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vivackus), written his lightsaber creation fiction, participated in five Antei Combat Center matches (W-L record of 4-1),

For his Clan Summit task, Vivackus served as a Consul's Aide. During his internship, he learned how to run an AWOL, draft and send weekly mentorship e-mails, write recommendations, propose/award competitions, differentiate between what is deserving of a promotion and that which deserves a medal, audit clan mailers, answer new member questions and other Envoy-related tasks. In each of these tasks he was asked to perform a practical demonstration of his mastery; learning from his successes as much as his failures and repeat attempts. Additionally, he assisted me in redefining the parameters for giving Battle Teams more fictional depth in creating position duties. Great work, Viv! Keep it up!

APPExitium has completed SA Dark Brotherhood Basics course in 11/9/2008 and maintained the communication with his house leaders, such proof to show his intention to learn further in the path of Darkness, and I am glad to recommend his promotion to Novice. Congratulations!

Good day, Masters.

I come before you as Quaestor of House Caliburnus to bring Guardian Asani Vosa into the light as a prospective member for promotion to Jedi Hunter.

Asani has been in Caliburnus for the length of my stay there, and I have always been impressed by her inventiveness and attitude towards her work. She has always striven for excellence, and has posted many ideas to me, quite a few of which I have used. One of her moments of ingenuity was the creation of a group known as the Caliburnus Analyst Unit. She was the main brains behind it and even wrote a long fiction using this group.

I find myself turning to Asani for suggestions or advice on House projects, and she has always been ready to give them. Along these lines, she has been a major participant in my recent projects, and my current one, she jumped at the chance to help. I’m a lucky QUA to get a member this dedicated, and active.

So, it is my opinion that Guardian Asani Vosa is worthy of an elevation to the rank of Jedi Hunter, and I request that you make it a reality.

Sith Warrior Brent Ligur Victae

Greetings, noble ones;

I bring for your consideration today the work of Guardian Asani Vosa.

Per the established promotional guidelines, she has completed every event needed for a promotion to Jedi Hunter. To be specific, these are the tasks that she has accomplished:

• +Six weeks as a Guardian.
• Ongoing IRC communications.
• Has registered in and participated on the Clan Message Board.
• Has taken and passed the General Leadership Shadow Academy course.
• Has completed an 8-page character fiction piece.
• Has completed six ACC battles.
• Achieved 1st Place in a Clan Feud competition event (Dark Tides, Week 4, What If).
• Earned an Anteian Cross, 10/16/08.

I thoroughly believe that Asani is ready to assume more responsibility within the Clan as a Jedi Hunter, and ready to start her work towards earning her Knighthood. I thank you for your time in this matter.

To Asani, congratulations and well-deserved! It's been a long and bumpy road, but you've earned your promotion. Now to start work on DJK!! =)

Lyncoln Novell has already been quite active. He has created a character history which he submitted but it has not been approved yet (I read it already, though, and it was quality). He has also been quite active on IRC and has begun playing JA and JO with other DJB members. This is more than enough for his advancement as per the Promotion Requirements.

Ronovi has met the requirements for promotion to Dark Jedi Knight, as mandated by the Master at Arms. Her master, Doni Tzu, has voiced his full support for this promotion, and the clan summit is in agreement.

Along the way, Ronovi has provided great service to her houses and her clan. She has been active in numerous competitions on all levels, including winning the most recent monthly topic. She has been a spectacular addition to the clan’s run-on efforts, among other things. She served capably as the battleteam leader of Arcano Signum before agreeing to transfer to House Cestus to become the aedile.

For her major task, Ronovi spearheaded the efforts of organizing the current big competition between Cestus and Gladius. She also created (and continues to maintain) a top rate wiki article (she was the featured article in September 2008). She completed fifteen pages of fiction for her master, on top of numerous other writing projects.

Ronovi has worked tirelessly to help get Cestus, and Tarentum as a whole, more active. She is most certainly a rising star in Clan Tarentum, and the Brotherhood as a whole. The only limit to how far she will go will be herself. I look forward to seeing Ronovi progress even further and for her continued activity in the Brotherhood.

Since achieving the rank of Acolyte, Cassandra has been quite active. She has completed her character history page, as well as completing the ACC Initiates course and filling out her character sheet. She has participated in three competitions (Honor Guard, Caption Contest, Braecen Said What?) and she's also logged on to IRC and been active in conversation there.

El'sin is deserving of a promotion to Protector. Congratulations!

Elevation Request: Dark Jedi Knight Jedi Hunter Kara Rohana (10057)

Activity is the one major thing that drives the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and there is no Journeyman that I know who produces as much activity as the Jedi Hunter Kara Rohana. Since being promoted to Hunter, Kara has received a Diamond Crescent, a Ruby Crescent, Seven Amethyst Crescents, Six Sapphire Crescents, Twelve Emerald Crescents, Two Topaz Crescents, Two Quartz Crescents, a Grand Cross of the Dark Side and 153 Clusters of Fire. She has participated in every event in the recent War of Ascension here in Clan Plagueis. She was the Champion of the Three Clan Feud held between Clans Plagueis, Scholae Palatinae, and Arcona.

She has also been active in the Shadow Academy, completing Old Republic History in order to receive her Dark Maven – History, as well as completing Leadership Fundamentals.

She has participated in several private run-ons with a few different individuals, as well as continuing to touch up her Wiki article and complete a fiction of her lightsaber construction. She’s also been serving as Flight Leader in Exar’s Shadow and submitted and ran a Competition in October.

As Kara’s Master, I can say that she is truly ready to step up in the Dark Brotherhood and be given the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations Kara, you have been an incredible student and I am very proud of you.

Alaris Jinn Proud Master Quaestor of House Satal Keto

-------------------------*-----

Every Consul is proud when one of his flock makes it to the vaunted rank of Dark Jedi Knight. And I could not be more proud to stand witness to the elevation of Ms. Rohana today.

Alaris, her Master, spoke to the activity level and provided the requirements for which an individual must attain Dark Jedi Knight. I will instead speak to what Kara is for Clan Plagueis... a Prodigy of Plagueis, a Feud Champion, a Clan Mother, a peer and a friend. From the first day she stepped into our midst, you knew she would become a Dark Knight and demonstrate a tenacity, loyalty and zeal that we not only expect, but demand of our Dark Jedi Knights.

These unique traits have translated into a member ready for the rigors that she will find herself within in the Equite class. She will continue her training under Cethgus and Alaris and develop into a future leader we can entrust our members with as she cultivates them by encouraging participation, creating graphical images, run competitions and show compassion for those in her care.

A blessing upon House Exar Kun today as she receives another Knight in her service.
