It is my pleasure to recommend Kalen Joss for an Amethyst Kukri, recognizing an exceptional period of sustained, high-impact activity. Kalen participated in 105 competitions, while also organizing eight and co-organizing three more. His achievements in these events are reflected in a strong record of placements, earning 3 Crescents with Diamond Star, 4 with Ruby Star, 9 with Amethyst Star, 11 with Sapphire Star, and 5 with Emerald Star, demonstrating consistent high performance across a wide competitive field.
Kalen’s gaming activity continues to be one of his defining strengths, with 33 gaming activities and 219 Clusters of Fire earned. His creative output has been equally significant. He completed 27 fiction-related activities, including fiction totaling 7,195 words, alongside ten roleplaying sessions as a participant and four as a DM contributing more than 29,000 words. His work in the ACC included two battles totaling 1,981 words, along with service as a judge. These efforts earned him 81 Clusters of Ice, reflecting impressive productivity in narrative spaces.
His graphics contributions remain strong, with entries in 17 graphics competitions earning 116 Clusters of Graphite. His academic contributions include two Shadow Academy courses and two degrees, and he has accrued 21 combined society rank-ups across multiple societies, including the Aurora Collegium of Sciences, the Grand Master’s Royal Guard, the Inquisitorius, the Shroud Syndicate, the Envoy Corps, and the Antei Combat Center. Notably, Kalen has been a substantial contributor to the current Plagueis Lore Drive, making meaningful additions and revisions to several key articles, including Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar, Azorian Citadel, Ice Station Zerek, Cilix, Confederacy of the Outer Reaches, and House Ventress. Across these entries, his work on the project (both in concept and direct contribution) resulted in anywhere from 7.5% to 35% of the final content of each of the above referenced articles, demonstrating both initiative and an ability to strengthen Clan lore in material and lasting ways.
Kalen’s record reflects dedication, versatility, and consistent engagement that benefit both his Clan and the wider Brotherhood. His accomplishments clearly merit recognition at this level, and I am pleased to recommend him for the Amethyst Kukri.
