Kryy Vitaan has been a dependable member of Plagueis in his activity and presence without our Clan. Since his last promotion, Kryy has been there often for our Clan events while he's been on the roster. Six entries for the Plagueis Pro Bowl, 5 for the Winter Trials, and 2 for The Enemy Below. His constant level of activity has lead him to participation in 51 total competitions and earned him 14 crescents (1 Diamond, 2 Ruby, 6 Amethyst, 1 Sapphire, and 4 Emerald). On the gaming battlefields, Kryy has entered 7 PvE activities and 6 PvP matches to amass 69 Clusters of Fire, 75 Clusters of Earth, and 1 Pendant of Blood. Additionally, in the realm of fiction he has contributed 3 fiction activities for 3,887 words and earned himself 8 clusters of Ice. Kryy has even organized two competitions, both providing Brotherhood wide activity.

Kryy has always been a joy to have in Clan Plagueis, and I wish him luck as he marches up through the ranks in the future. Congratulations, and welcome to the Equite ranks!

Zuser has been a fixture in Plagueis for quite some time now. Going back to his last promotion (during the Dark Crusade), he's always been around and good for an entry or two whenever Plagueis needed him. He entered every round of the last four months of the Dark Crusade, with his seven entries helping contribute to a Plagueian victory. Fading Light, Restoration, the Plagueis Pro-Bowl, Winter Trials, and our most recent Enemy Below event, he's done them all. In total, since his last promotion, Zuser has participated in 45 competitions, earning 2 Novae (2 Gold and 1 Bronze) and 3 Crescents (1 each of Sapphire, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald). His vendetta entries between the Crusade and Fading Light saw him earn 14 Seals of the Crusader. His fiction activity has generated 1,818 words of fiction and 1,184 words in his Run On posts, and he has earned 13 Clusters of Ice. He has earned 5 Clusters of Fire gaming and 2 Clusters of Graphite for his recent graphics work. His overall contributions to Clan Plagueis have been recognized on three separate occasions, earning him a trio of Dark Crosses.

Some people shoot up through the ranks, but Zuser was different. He is, instead, an example of one that persevered over a long period of time to eventually reach his goal. Congratulations, Zuser, and welcome to the ranks of the Equites.

I would like to put Acolyte Ethan Martes up for promotion at this time. Since his last promotion he has been awarded a Dark Cross for his activity within Odan-Urr. This award was for participation in various competitions as well as being a regular in Odan-Urr chats. He has also been awarded 2 Pendants of Blood, been in numerous competitions and placing in several. Lastly he has been working on a long bit of fiction about his character meeting his master, and the misadventures they have with the Master trying to get him to join Odan-Urr.

Beyond all of this Ethan has shown to be someone who interacts with his Clanmates, and is always looking to make members look at their characters in a less than serious aspect. He brings a level of fun back to the DJB that I have not seen in a few years. For all of this, I recommend his promotion to Hunter!

(Promotion request was written by Daniel "Seraphol" Stephens)

Aurora "Aura" Ta'var, 2017-04-10 00:46:52 UTC

I think Seraphol did an excellent job describing Ethan's overall contributions to Satele Shan. He's a keeper.

Thus it falls to me to outline the nuts and bolts. Ethan has completed the following tasks in the course of his time with us:

• He has joined Telegram and is an active participant in the Odan-Urr and Satele Shan channels.
• He has participated in 19 competitions.
• He has written over 2900 words of character fiction
• He has been awarded 3 Pendants of Blood
• He has placed in 6 competitions
• He was awarded a Dark Cross for overall activity.

Ethan, I'm very glad that DS kidnapped you and pressganged you into our merry band. Keep up the good work. You're only one step from knighthood!

It is my pleasure to shine some light on Nijalah's recent achievements. As of late, he has created an approved character sheet, gained 2 Clusters of Graphite, been an active presence on Telegram in both Clan and DB channels, participated in 5 competitions, and reached Shadow Academy Society Rank II. In addition to the above, he has actively participated in gaming activities, namely Jedi Academy, and has actively participated in the Odan-Urr character development questions. The latter is particularly nice since it helps contribute to the Clan's understanding of its fictional characters and it shows team spirit. This is a great start to his time here in Odan-Urr and I look forward to his future achievements and contributions.

Therefore, I recommend Nijalah to be promoted to the rank of Acolyte. Congratulations and Awesome job! Drinks are on you.

Having been Nijalah’s master for only a handful of days, I am already impressed by the breadth of his activities and interests. He has submitted to both graphics and gaming competitions, completed three more Shadow Academy courses, advanced to INQ I and participated in character-development questions in the Clan chat and Fiction channel. Truly a promising start to your career, congratulations Nijalah!

azarath, you have successfully completed the Trial of Identity and confirmed your e-mail address, for which you have earned the rank of Apprentice. While you may currently be on a shuttle to Battle Team Nekros Coven, I will continue to follow your progress with great interest.

May the Force guide you, Apprentice,

I am honored to recommend Kylex to the rank of Equite I. Many members toil to attain the rank of Knight, but auspicious few ever break into the Equite ranks. It requires leadership, service to others, and a willingness to listen and learn from others. It is not an easy path to continue advancing through the Equite ranks, but I believe Kylex is ready to take his first step onto the path.

Since his last promotion, Kylex has participated in 37 competitions, organized 5 competitions, submitted 3 PvP Matches, Finished 2 ACC Battles, penned 7 Fiction Activities (3938 words!), posted twice in run-ons (581 words!), and passed 11 Shadow Academy courses. He has also collected numerous awards in that time: an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 9 Crescents (2 Cr-A, 2 Cr-S, 5 Cr-T), 5 Clusters of Fire, and 16 Clusters of Ice. Additionally, I have been impressed with the quality of Kylex’s efforts and leadership within Tacitus Athanasius. In March, while his Battle Team Leader focused on House tasks, he took the reigns of his team and lead them magnificently. The team continued to be active in their chat, participating in competitions, and collecting numerous merit medals and promotions. Kylex also demonstrated a propensity with artwork, utilizing his drawings of fellow members to encourage camaraderie and participation as the unit thrived.

Kylex is a developing leader in this club. I believe that - when his mind is set to the task - he can lead others through his own actions, through encouragement of others, and produce intriguing content that his members respond positively to. Based on his capability as a leader, his determination to participate in competitions, and his eagerness to continue his journey… I believe he is ready for induction into the Equite ranks. Recognized as a fully committed member of this club and Scholae Palatinae.

The time has come! Kylex has been working so hard to reach this point in his DJB career and he has now achieved it in numerous ways. Besides his tenacity in staying active through competitions, ACCs, conversations through Telegram, and working on multiple fiction projects, Kylex is also always ready to help wherever he can. He has jumped up to the plate when anyone needs help or proofing, and even designed 12 art pieces and 12 Telegram stickers for the members of Tacitus Athanasius. (Roughly an hour is spent on each piece of art before he works on the process of converting it to their sticker pack.) This is a huge investment of time for no reward other than the happiness of his fellow members. Kylex has assisted with a Clan task to ensure bi-monthly updates about available fiction competitions too. His role is to collect available competitions for all members of CSP and submit them to our Fiction Captain. This has helped our overall participation per event in those events.

Congratulations, Kylex! You are a magnificent leader in the making. I can’t wait to see you reach further to the stars and beyond in the Brotherhood. When you put your mind to it, you achieve it. I have seen the evidence of this time and time again. It’s been an honor seeing you grow and working with you. Here’s to the future, Australian Mate!

Honestly, I don’t know where to begin! This has been long time coming, and I am absolutely ecstatic to see Kylex join in on the Equite life! Having spent a lot of time talking about character development, battle team ideas for Tacitus Athanasius, and what it means to help others in TA to excel; Kylex has shown that his heart lies with the betterment of TA and its members. Having pushed hard to partake in various competitions while placing in a few as well as having taken many exams in the Shadow Academy, he has shown a blazing determination to stand up and get where he needs to be. His dedication has even led him to receiving his very first Anteian Cross, and has given me reason to be proud to have him as my Sergeant for TA. I am exuberantly honored to see him take on the rank of Warrior. A huge congratulations, Kylex! Continue to Stand Proud! Darasuum Kote to you, my Mandalorian friend.

It is always a great day to recommend a member advance into the Equite ranks. It is doubly so when it is for a member as passionate and devoted as Kylex. Be it helping develop the battleteam Tacitus Athanasius, his willingness to do anything once, or supporting his fellow members, Kylex is a ball of hyperactivity and drive. He also has the deep passion and caring mindset that makes him stand out as a developing leader in this club. I know that if he decides to pursue it, he can put himself far into this club and have a massive impact for a lot of people. It is an honor to recommend Kylex’s promotion. Congratulations my friend, drinks are on you!

I am absolutely ecstatic to recommend Katyusha Neige to the rank of Hunter. Katyusha has been striving hard for this rank in many different ways and has reached this point of advancement.

Since his last promotion, Katyusha Neige has participated in 12 competitions, organized 1 competition, co-organized 1 competition, received his first ever Dark Cross, received 1 Crescent with an Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with an Emerald Star, 1 Crescent with a Topaz Star, and 2 Clusters of Graphite. He has also written 1 fiction with a total of 1,000 words. Katyusha is very excited to reach this point in his career within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. All of these things together have made him 100% eligible for the rank of Hunter per the Promotheus Guidelines.

Congratulations, Katyusha! Your continuous effort, your constant presence in our DJB community via Telegram, and your dedicated attitude have got you this far. Cling to these principles and you’ll soar even farther. I can’t wait to see what you achieve next when you put your mind to it!

It is always a pleasure to see any apprentice of mine advance through the rank, and I am truly proud to see Katyusha Neige promote to Hunter. Despite real life keeping my apprentice busy, Katyusha has shown time and again that he is determined to continue pursuing knighthood when given some motivation from not just his master, but his friends in CSP and Tacitus Athanasius. Since his last promotion, Katyusha has organized and co-organized two competitions, participated in 12 competitions while placing in three, received 2 Clusters of Graphite, and received his very first Dark Cross. He also wrote a 1000 word fiction of which I had the pleasure of reading, and I continue to look forward to more character development that Kat has in store.

Katyusha has also continued to maintain a valued presence in the battle team telegram chat group. With some new members having recently joined, he has been very welcoming and helpful to those new to the battle team when they’ve had questions. He has many times expressed plans for character development in the battle team, and I can only continue to look forward to how he will achieve those plans.

I am absolutely excited to see you continuing to press forward, my apprentice. Keep this up, and you’ll be a Knight in no time!

Fadas has more than surpassed his promotional requirements for the rank of Acolyte. He has competed in 24 competitions, earned 20 Clusters of Fire, completed 2 Shadow Academy courses, earned a Crescent with Amethyst Star, and spent 14 days in his current rank.

He is an up and comer in Tarentum, his efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Fadas Daelan-De, I hereby award you the rank of Acolyte! Keep up the good work, buddy!
