Zujenia is one of those members who constantly reminds us why we do what we do as leaders.

First and foremost, her personal activity is beyond compare. Since her promotion to Knight five months ago, Zuji has organized three competitions and participated in forty-eight, or roughly ten per month. In doing so, she has earned herself fourteen Crescents, ten Clusters of Fire, seventeen Clusters of Graphite, and a whopping forty-six Clusters of Ice. By any measure, that's a phenomenal level of activity.

Beyond her remarkable participation, though, she has proven herself to be a true leader. Bright, enthusiastic, constantly volunteering and looking for ways to make the lives and experience of her fellow Arconans better, she is the epitome of all we ask for in the Brotherhood. During the past five months, she has continually served her Battleteam, first as Sergeant, then lately as Battleteam Leader. In the three months since she took the helm of Shadow Gate, she has demonstrated her reliability, unflagging spirit, and consistent drive to push her members into being the best they can be.

Zujenia has come far in the eight the months since she joined the Brotherhood, and the five since Knighthood. And I have no doubt she'll continue to achieve great things no matter what the future throws at her.

Zuji, it has been my honor to see you learn, grow and excel in Qel-Droma, and it is a true pleasure to recommend you for elevation to the Equites. Well done.

Zuejnia is a rare member and leader inside the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. She acknowledges her limits while never settling or sitting back to become complacent with the thing she has or is challenged with. She is the embodiment of an active member as her metrics show on paper, but where Zuji really shines is in how she interacts with literally everyone she comes across in our social forum. Between the various communities she is an active voice (Art Chat, Fiction Chat, Clan and DB Chat) and has gotten a reputation as the official greeter of DB Chat to any new join (whether they are a veteran or new member). This enthusiasm is contagious and helps create a more fun and welcoming environment that fully supports the open direction of the Brotherhood.

As a former member of Shadow Gate, I know that she goes to great lengths to help the members of her Battleteam by keeping them informed with follow up emails, timely reports, and constant communication. She has recently taken on my personal recruit to the DB, Kelviin, and it's a pleasure knowing he's in good hands with such a patient and enthusiastic mentor.

As Voice, I get to see her encouraging and pushing others to compete in activity. In my view, she has more than earned this promotion. Congrats, Zuji, you toast deserves this. :)

Voice of the Brotherhood

Few things make a teacher prouder than to see their students go on to great accomplishments; I’d argue that one of those things is when said student hardly seems to need mentoring at all. Zuji was already so much when she joined the club — bright, positive, determined, helpful — and she has blessed us with those traits and then some every day since she first hit the ground running. Within months of her joining, she was tackling wiki work, competition creation, tutoring and greeting of members, event hype, email writing, etc, essentially behaving as a leader among her peers without a title. A short step it was, then, to Battleteam Sergeant and then Leader, and her last step it certainly won’t be. Zuji is active, encouraging, pioneering...she has a spirit for this Brotherhood, the kind that we hope and pray for in every new or random join, the kind that will carry on with the promise of a generation after our own. When I watch my apprentice now, I don’t just see an excellent student and Master in her own right, I don’t just see a gem of a participant as a Consul, I don’t just see a kind woman who has come to be a supportive and treasured friend — I see our future. For all that the club will continue all on its own as our fandom does, it is the people who will spark it to thrive, and Zuji’s only grows each day.

Congrats, little bean, and welcome to Equitehood. You’ve earned it.

Zujenia, Zuji, Zuju, Kait, Zombiecorn: Never in my short life in the Dark Brotherhood have I ever seen someone so exuberant in her willingness to step up to any and all plates, jump headfirst into innumerable tasks and accomplish them all with enough fervor to make a Hurricanado blanch. From her work on the Wiki(The Holds, adding additions to the Phantom Complex and Shadow Gate) to the way she encourages and drives her peers (and leaders) proves that her enthusiasm and completion-elitism is, as far as I can see, utterly unmatched. Her ability to accomplish many menial tasks while delving into, and assisting others with, character development is perfect in her status as Battleteam Leader. She is an inspiration to other members (myself included), constantly challenging them to do more, be better, try harder and then works alongside them, growing with them as she spurs them forward. Seemingly in spite of her brief time with us so far, she has outgrown and outshined many of the members, new and old, and fights for us to do all the things.

Kait’s ability to transition from inquisitive student to inspiration for everyone should be the main reason, in my mind, why she deserves to be promoted to Equite. She is an example for us all and should be rewarded as such.

What can I say about Tarvitz that hasn’t been said many times before? He is a fantastic, extraordinary member, being active on Telegram and on the site. He is friendly, and a gentleman in most ways. He’d completed all the tasks necessary to be Knighted by the time he was promoted to Padawan. Despite this, he’s continued to participate, earning himself a trove of awards. Since his last promotion 4 weeks ago, he has gained 3 Crescents (1 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire), 34 Clusters of Fire and 4 Clusters of Ice. He has also entered 7 competitions and finished 1 ACC battle. On top of this set of achievements, he’s also passed 3 SA courses.

Tarvitz has been an impressive member from the start, being one of the most active members of Battle-team Zirael. He’s gained 9 competition awarded overall and participated in a staggering 21 competitions – he’s even gone so far as to organise one of his own. He has reached rank 4 in both the GMRG and the SA. To show hope for becoming a future leader, he has also passed two courses from the Leadership department. He’s earned 224 Clusters of Earth and 7 Clusters of Ice. He has a quality wiki article, and has earned an astounding 5 Dark Maven degrees and 1 Dark Savant degree.

I’ve had the opportunity lately to work with Tarvitz in the co-op fiction competition that Clan Odan-Urr is currently running. The posts I’ve made are not by best at all, and due to real-life issues, I could only post after Tarvitz had waited for a good few days. He’s taken this in his stride, seamlessly picking up my slack and flexing his writing muscles. I believe this speaks of his commendable attitude, as someone who does things not only to help themselves, but those around him as well.

Tarvitz, I already count you among my good friends here in the Brotherhood. Congratulations, Jedi Knight Ka Tarvitz!

Corvus Corax, 2016-11-19 18:36:59 UTC

Out of all of my previous students Ka Tarvitz is by far the most unique, besides being extremely friendly, well mannered and extremely knowledgeable about all things Star Wars and gaming as well. I think the one thing that definitely made him stand out to me was his eagerness to help. On a few occasions he insisted to lend a hand to help me gather information so i can complete my Aedile Reports on time.

With little direction he was not only able to complete the task but complete it with much more detail than i would have ever expected from a journeyman. His thirst for knowledge and his passion to not only be active but to be as helpful as he can is something i have not seen in a while. I truly believe that Tarvitiz is not only a great member but also a awesome human being as well.

Besides his helpfulness Tarvitz's activity is amazing! All i ever had to do was just give him some general ideas on what he needed to do for his promotion. He amazed me but not only hitting mostly every point I listed but the ones he didn't were because he was still in the process of perfecting his backstory and fiction. I for one am looking forward to seeing a completed Tarvitz Wikipage.

Anyway, I have been more than honored to guide you through the Journeyman ranks and it's now such a great honor to congratulate you on your promotion to full Knight of the Jedi Order!

Edgar Drachen, 2016-11-18 13:29:40 UTC

Tarvitz was always a star of COU and Zirael and I am so please to see him ascend to Knighthood. He is always active in competitions, in the community (Telegram) discussions, and in story-telling in general. He is a keen Star Wars nerd and friend and is a key asset for COU.

Even though I have since departed COU, I have still seen him active in competitions and in Telegram, participating at many levels including Fiction and gaming areas. It takes a true fan and reliable member to see this level of dedication and thorough participation in a place like the Brotherhood. I cannot think of any reason he should not be fully Knighted, and I expect we will see more great things from him in the future!

Seer Xolarin, 2016-11-18 14:52:30 UTC

There is not much more that can be said about Tarvitz: others have already mentioned his uncommonly good manners, high activity, and willingness to pitch in wherever he thinks he can be of assistance. Ka stands out. Not because he's looking for attention or glory, but because he leaves hardly any possibility untouched. He's participated in a wide variety of competitions and other activities and is an active participant in numerous Telegram channels. He has more than earned his Knighthood, and I can only hope that we'll continue to draw members like him to Odan-Urr.

Congratulations, my friend. I look forward to seeing where you go from here.

Tarvitz has been one of the most active members of Clan Odan-Urr since he joined us. While I haven't regularly interacted with him, the few times I have shown me what great guy and member he is. He is always willing to lend a helping hand or get a hand or two of Pazaak in when anyone asks for it. I look forward to getting to know him better as he enters the world of Knighthood. It is my pleasure to recommend Tarvitz for promotion to Knight!

Colonel Len Iode, 2016-11-19 16:30:20 UTC

Ka has chewed through his Knighthood requirements with reckless abandon and has been a strong presence in the Odan-Urr community. He has embraced everything we have to offer as far as fiction and the ACC goes. He is engaged, inquisitive, a fast learner and generally a pleasure to have in the Clan. I echo the comments of our other leaders that his Knight saber is beyond deserved.

I look forward to seeing more great things from him.
