If ever everything Arden says seems night unintelligible and their actions inscrutable, it's only because they're ten steps ahead vibrating on another plane of existence from the rest of us. Arden has one setting: go. And it's this nature that has carried them through the echelons of the Aurora Collegium, through the Journeyman ranks, and through our hearts (not unlike a coronary.) His master and recruiter will have more to say of specifics, but as his Proconsul, I will say that we look forward to all the chaos you continue to bring, Squid, and well done on all you've achieved so far.

Welcome to Knighthood.

Proconsul, Clan Arcona

“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.” ~Henry Adams

No truer have I seen proof of these words than in recent days with you, Arden. A spark of life spread into a wildfire across all of Arcona. Since you last came before us for promotion you’ve continued to burn bright, throwing yourself into academic pursuits, passing through 16 Academy Courses, and gaining an additional Maven and Savant. Your chaotic nature has certainly flown into our collective Discord, as well, with rampant discussions across the arts, animation, and all things Grimace.

You’ve been a breath of fresh air, a loving bit of chaos, and a reminder that the world isn’t as predictable as we all set out to believe. Seeing your character growth in RP and Fiction has been an enjoyable ride and reminder that no matter how chaotic the writer, their works can stand testament to a keen wit beneath, your Four Clusters of Ice in the last two weeks stand up to show for it too.

Ever Onwards, Arden!

Peacekeeper Masahiro Haku, 2023-07-17 06:04:13 UTC

It has been a short month since the last time we were here in concerns to the constant progression, enthusiasm and energy Arden continues to be a powerhouse of. It’s wonderful to see the chaotic pulse that they bring in full force to not just Arcona but any chat they choose to inhabit. While only 881 words of roleplay have been documented, it is known that far more are to come already.

With that in mind however, the stats! Arden participated in four competitions, one of which was a container, and earned three crescents for their efforts. One of a diamond star, and the other two both ruby. Alongside their roleplay, they also submitted a regular fiction ringing it 1606 words, bringing their clusters of ice to a nice quartet. These efforts alone are a joy to see, consistent activity is always encouraged. Yet the most impressive part of Arden’s activity this last month is the sixteen courses in the Shadow Academy they have passed. These courses compiled into Arden’s third maven, this one of Lore, as well as their first Savant in Writing and Philosophy. Most of this was over the course of less than a week and is really astounding at the speed and accuracy of these results.

Arden has no hesitation into diving full force and enthusiasm into anything that truly takes their interest. It’s a wonder to see in action even if the graders over in the Shadow Academy are really receiving work in excess of what their credit chits probably cover. With all of this in mind, I recommend our favorite Bionicle expert, squid snarker and Pikmin appreciator to the rank of Journeyman 4.

Professional Titius Osseus has reached the required 5000 XP to reach the rank of Equite 1.

Oh my, the apprentice now matches the Master. I've watched Titius's skills grow over the last few months. Like a musician practicing their instrument he can now perfectly manage the pitches of Ellac to most beautiful scream.

I'm sure ACC battles will perfect this in time.

Titius's dedication to the Shadow Academy and continued degrees shows a commitment to improving himself and learning all the different elements that make up the DJB. I can't wait to see what Titius does next!

Master Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz, 2023-07-11 21:58:49 UTC

Asani has been a powerhouse of activity across the board of options she has chosen to display her prowess in. 22 days ago we saw her rise to Journeyman 2, and in that short time she has engaged in 8 gaming activities and 4 roelplays, across a total of 8 competitions, 2 of which were containers.

Through these activites, Asani has earned a whopping 81 clusters of Earth, earning her her third rank in the GMRG as well as 15 clusters of ice, which for such a short amount of time is crazy. These all combined with her rambunctious ass-kicking attitude, awesome art streams and awful Card Against Humanity responses, leads me to recommend Asani to her next step in the Brotherhood, Journeyman 3.

Envoy Zuza Lottson, 2023-07-11 02:51:43 UTC

The Bully Bunny affectionately known as Asani has hopped through my inbox again; bringing with her an impressive CSV detailing her activity in the last month. 81 Clusters of Earth, 15 of Ice? Couple these with the constant lurk and emote responses across Discord, streaming her artistic sessions for everyone's enjoyment, as well as being a general pleasure to behold when she decides to break out of her shroud and actively engage in discussions.

A very vocal supporter of the arts and encouraging others to grow, she's been at the forefront of art chat, fawning over others' work and progress.

Asani, you've taken strides in the Brotherhood, making your presence felt, and definitely given us many laughs in CAH. I'm glad of your promotion, and looking forward to what you bring before us when you reach Knight!

Ever onward, Asani.

Since his last promotion barely three weeks ago, Shamiir , or Rocket, has continued to rocket through the Journeyman ranks. He's participated in four competitions, in addition to the container competition for the Shadow Academy Decathlon Second Quarter, completing two courses in that span and taking the exams to join both the Inquisitorious and GMRG Societies. Along with that, he's completed two gaming activities and finished his first Roleplay within the Brotherhood with his fellow initiates, Battleteam members, and his master, wherein he wrote over 1000 words, earning himself three Clusters of Ice and two Clusters of Earth. Rocket is more than just active in numbers though, socializing all around the Brotherhood and taking the time to teach his fellow members like Sagitta some Spreadsheet formatting tips, and taking the logo for the Antres Armorers Consolidated shop in Possessions to turn into a full test render for fun.

It's for all these things and more that we're pleased to congratulate Rocket on reaching the rank of Padawan. We'll see you next at Knight.

Master Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir, 2023-07-05 16:33:10 UTC

Ta'xi has continued his onward march to earning that ship. Since his last award only 4 days ago, he has participated in 3 competitions across two container comps, one of which earned him a Crescent with a Ruby Star. He also completed 4 gamining activities that earned him 78 clusters of Earth.

But not only has Ta'xi been at it in ramping out activity, he has been refining his mind. Completeing two more courses for the Shadow Academy earned him a degree. Even more notably he now holds a Scroll of Foundation from an error with one of those courses, specifically in the exam, where he made sure the right faculities were made aware so it could be recifitfied.

It's with all of this in mind, that I recommend Ta'xi to Journeyman 3.

There probably isn't anyone who expects this promotion less than Kant himself, but that's because he doesn't think much of what he does. But all efforts add up over time, and Kant has been a loyal and kind presence in this club for years. His account is old enough to drive, and then some (hiiiiii buddy). He's been here my entire DB lifetime, and in that time, I've always known him to be a quiet sort of inspirational: someone who can poke in when they can, still find things trucking along, do a little bit, and just be the reason we as leaders want to keep this place alive; so that there's always this home to come back to. Members like Kant are what drives us to continue, and for that, I'm immeasurably grateful. For every AVD entry, for every failed race against you in trivia AGAIN, for every dog photo and kind word in all my time, thank you, Kant. Thank you and well done.

So say we all!

Proconsul, Clan Arcona

Rylem Westrev, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed.

I will continue to watch your progress, Rylem Westrev, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.
