Passed the Test of Lore

Nihriya Rivers, 2012-07-27 04:29:57 UTC

Mirado Pepoi L’eonheart is a long-time member of Clan Naga Sadow who continues to seek ways to help out his Clan and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. He has held more than one important position in each unit. He has been highly active across the board. Mirado has also helped out various members.

As Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, Mirado built the House from scratch. After the reclanning of Naga Sadow, the decision was made to form the new House, and the task was given to Mirado as it’s first Quaestor. He established it’s lore and background from nothing, as well as fleshing out various aspects of it’s planetary domain in order to give the House it’s own holdings and well-established foundation. He continued to be Quaestor for nearly eight months. During this time, Mirado produced regular reports and competitions, ensuring his members were always in the know and had something to do.

I had the pleasure of working with Mirado as his Aedile. As a new leader, I didn’t know how to do hardly anything. Mirado set a great example for me, and it’s from him that I learned how to write reports and create competitions that matter and seem interesting to the people participating in them. Mirado helped me find confidence in myself when I didn’t know if I had what it took to be a leader, and it’s safe to say I would not be where I am now if not for him.

Mirado also became a Magistrate to the VOICE and held this position for more than five months, until recently becoming Praetor to the Voice. In this capacity, Mirado ran and helped grade competitions. He was responsible for multiple, well-fleshed out ideas. While these were not always approved, they show that Mirado is dedicated to the entire Dark Brotherhood, and not merely his own Clan.

Aside from his leadership endeavors, Mirado has always been an active member. He has participated in sixteen competitions since his last award, a Steel Cross earned in December of 2011. He also earned 10 Crescents, placing highly in competitions such as as the Ambitions Runon event. These totals also demonstrate Mirado’s dedication to Clan events; he participated in four competions for the Festival of Renewal event and four more in the SvC: Children of Revolution event.

Beyond leadership and activity, Mirado is a skilled writer. Not content to use these merely for his own glory, Mirado has assisted many other members with their fiction writing as well as efforts in the ACC. He has taken the initiative on his own to offer his skills to others, rather than just wait for them to come to him. Whether in a Runon or Clan event, Mirado is there to support other members of the Dark Brotherhood. He is also always available, whether by IRC, Google Talk, or simple email.

In addition to helping members, Mirado has been a big assistance to Summit. Even while not on it, he frequently asks if there is any way he can help out and has worked on various little projects for us. These include creating graphical images and fiction to support events, offering his knowledge to plan plot-lines, working on wiki articles, or including sample files. Mirado’s work is always of great quality and he has a high turnaround time, two traits which further make him an invaluable member of the Brotherhood. He’s always there if I have a question or need something, and his turnaround time is great.

For the above reasons, I am happy to request that Mirado Pepoi L’eonheart be elevated to the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations, Mirado!

• KP Locke Sonjie Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

Mirado has been a most interesting of resources when it came to the ACC and Fiction writing. In him I found another member who was immensely interested in hand-to-hand martial arts. The number of conversations we've had about combat is somewhat ridiculous but he has been a great resource in how Real World martial arts can be equated to the DJB options. This has made ACC less of a big-bad for me, as well as others who have shared in this information. He is always willing to offer a helping hand and give an interesting perspective on things. He is ambitious and it shows as he is always wiling to take on tasks above his "pay grade".

• Atra Ventus

It has been an honour for me to work with Mirado over these past few years, his tenure as Magistrate to the Voice prompting his own recent ascension to Praetor where he has taken to the new leadership position like duck to water, already creating events and establishing new documentation for the Brotherhood's Fiction competitions with the help of others. In a continued effort to increase the Brotherhood's fictional presence, Mirado actively mentors members both young and old in the ACC and proper Run-on etiquette without a thought of it for himself. Outside of his work for the Office of the Voice, I had the honour of being both his Proconsul and Consul as he formulated and grew House Shar Dakhan with the help of Locke. His own brainchild and baby, Mirado single-handedly formed the new House from absolutely nothing into a fully functioning House while also promoting a fun and active atmosphere with his competitions that allowed his members to add their input to the direction of the House. Chief amongst this, Mirado has continued to make a name for himself by actively participating in numerous competitions amidst his work for Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood; earning a Steel Cross for his hard work and continuing on without even taking a moment to pat himself on the back.

It is my honour to include my recommendation for Mirado to be elevated to the rank of Equite Two, Obelisk Prelate.

• OP Methyas Pepoi L’eonheart.

Since his last promotion on 6/8/2011, Mirado has continued to work and serve the Brotherhood. In that time he has won 10 Crescents, participated in over 16 competitions, mentored folks in the ACC and fiction writing, served as QUA of HSD for 8 months, ran several competions, served as Magistrate and later Praetor to the Voice since January of '12, earned 12 Seals, 6 Clusters of Ice, 2 Gold Novae, a Silver Nova, an SC, an AC, and a DC. 2 of those Crescents were CrR's, indictationg a level of high DB-level comp perfomance along with the Novae. Mirado serves the overall Brotherhood and continues to be active and excel at what he does. He's motivated, helpful, good at mentoring, has a great arttiude, and is a serious asset both to those he aerves and helps as well as the Clan and club at large. As his first master nd having had him work under me as Consul I have to say I'm pretty proud of how he handles himself, and he has shown himself to be a great member. He exemplifies what it means to work and serve, and he should be elevated to Equite Two with all honors thereby.

~SWL Macron Goura Sadow, Consul Emeritus

I would like to personally recommend a promotion for Mirado. Not only is he an excellent leader, but he is very hard working as he has proved by moving up various ranks since he has begun in the DJB. Since his last elevation on June 8th, 2011, he has continued to put forth his best efforts in everything that he does. Mirado makes it a habit to mentor everyone that may need it, including members that are new to DJB as well as those new to ACC and Fictions. He was the first Quaestor of HSD for about 8 months, in which during that time he ran various competitions on a regular basis and put out great reports regularly. On top of that, he also built the initial House fiction completely from scratch. He continues to run regular comps to keep everyone interested, entertained, and active, as well as keep us all thinking and on our toes, as he is now Magistrate to the Voice and has been since Jan 5th. He continues to be a strong leader in all aspects and keeps an active presence in IRC to help out and keep everyone in the loop on what they need to know, and help anyone with anything they need. Mirado has also had 10 crescents since his last award, which just so happened to be a Steel Cross, and participated in 16 competitions. He keeps motivation up as well as morale not only in the houses and clan, but as well as in the entire DJB as a whole. Recently he has worked with other clans to bring together our next upcoming event, which is just one example out of many of how hard he works to keep things rolling and fun and interesting for everyone. This also shows how well of a team player he is with everyone he comes in contact with and not just with those in CNS but in all of the DJB. Mirado is a valuable member of the DJB in many aspects, and I personally believe, and I know many others will agree, that he is more than deserving of a promotion as he continually shows his passion for the Brotherhood in everything he puts his efforts towards.

• JH Masika Oshairana

Mirado has been a Templar for more than a year and in that period of time he has shown us his dedication to his Clan and the Brotherhood overall. In terms of activity he has been constantly active be it in the competition front or just helping out his summit or doing various tasks as Magistrate of the Voice. He’s earned ten crescents and entered 16 competitions.

There is more than just entering competitions that determines if a person is ready for the next step of promotion. Mirado has been in various leadership roles over the course of the last year or so. He was the first Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, he worked diligently at creating lore and promoting the house to the Clan building a love for the house. He also became Magistrate of the Voice, while I am not one really able to comment on that, his success as Magistrate has lead him to be the Praetor of the Voice and currently acting Voice.

I have known Mirado for a long time, since he joined the club basically. In that time he has shown that he is willing to go to any ends to help people do what they wish to achieve in the Brotherhood. He has done many ACC matches working with the opponent to get qualified. He has taken the initiative to start a sandbox run on for the Clan that allows character development. He can make anyone who has had a bad day much better by simply listening to them and then give them a good piece of music to listen too.

I believe that Mirado has more than earned his promotion to Prelate. Congrats cousin you’ve earned this.

Exarch Teu Pepoi CNS Proconsul

Epis Locke Sonjie, 2012-07-26 12:16:38 UTC

Methyas Pepoi L’eonheart is a member of Clan Naga Sadow who has done a lot in the time he has been here. Whether he is on Summit or not, Methyas continues to assist the Clan in any way he can. He has been both Consul and Aedile since his last promotion, showing that he is ready to assist in a variety of roles. Furthermore, Methyas is highly active in competitions.

As Consul, Methyas released regular reports that communicated important information to the Clan. He was also a visible presence on IRC. It was also during this time that I first joined Summit as Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. It was then that I realized that Methyas was a friendly individual who was always avaliable to help out with something or explain how things work. This was a vital part of his leadership of the Clan: Methyas was an approachable, easy-to-talk-to leader.

Also, as Consul, Methyas led from the front. In the Tenth Great Jedi War, Methyas entered twenty events, the third most of the entire Clan. During this time he also encouraged other members to do the same. Personally, Methyas inspired me to be active in that Great Jedi War. He was a visible, down-in-the-trenches leader, and through his influence, this is something I have always thought to be.

After Consul, Methyas continued to be an active member. He took an apprentice, Atra Ventus, and taught him the ropes of the Brotherhood. During this time, he also helped revive the Clan Runon. While I was Proconsul, Methyas continued to post in the Runon when no one else was, and he was the first person I turned to in order to focus the plot of the Runon and bring on other activity. His insight and knowledge of the Clan’s lore proved invaluable, while his constant activity helped shaped the plot and make sure it was able to go somewhere. In addition to this, Methyas continued to participate in competitions. He has also been a Wiki staff member since December 2011, and has applied that knowledge to Clan articles as well.

More recently, Methyas became Aedile of House Marka Ragnos. In this role, he has assisted a relatively green Summit, including myself, with running the Clan. As always, he has been an invaluable voice in Summit discussions. He has a lot of experience and a level head; two qualities that are so precious to have in any discussion. In addition, Methyas runs regular reports as Aedile, helping his Quaestor to keep his House informed of everything that’s going on.

Methyas’ accolades alone exemplify his value to the Brotherhood. He has earned a Dark Cross, Anteian Cross, Steel Cross AND Grand Cross since his last promotion. He also earned two Gold Novae and a Bronze Nova in the last GJW. This is not to mention his numerous Crescents during this period as well.

Whether as a teacher, friend, ally, or leader, Methyas is adaptable and successful in a wide variety of roles. His personality and dedication are both awesome qualities. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Methyas be promoted to the rank of Obelisk Exarch! He’s certainly earned it. Congratulations, Methyas!

• KP Locke Sonjie Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

Methyas has been invaluable to me over the last few months. He has helped me transition into the role of Quaestor by assisting me with several projects. He has stepped up to the plate on so many occasions to help me out. His level of activity is always consistent. Methyas has been absolutely key in the fiction portion of HMR and has taken the initiative without being asked on several occasions. I know that I can always count on him. His knowledge and dedication to the club and to CNS is remarkable. He is well versed in the history of the clan and brotherhood. He puts his reports out on time, he helps create competitions and runs them. Recently he stepped up and took care of things during an unexpected net outage we had for over a week. He truly is an asset to the club and to HMR. I highly recommend him for promotion for these reasons and more.

• DJK Kalia Phoenyx Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos

This old man is more than deserving of promotion. In addition to dealing with myself as an apprentice he was always there to offer a helping hand and fight on my behalf to help me through the JM ranks. His thirst for knowledge is almost as vast as the knowledge he already holds, which he applies regularly on wiki. The wiki is often a "sandbox" for Methyas as he works to give the most detailed and informative wiki articles he can. Whenever I have a wiki question, he is there to answer. Don't let his silence fool you, there is always something going on in his head and he is a limitless resource for ideas to better the Clan at large. We may not always follow through on them, but he always has more and shows no signs of slowing down.

• Atra Ventus

I’ve always said I’m a fan of writing recommendations, and Methyas is one of my favorite people to write them for. Before I even get to the physical and quantifiable achievements the man has garnered for himself, I’d like to take a moment to speak to the character of the man behind the quiet eye in the tempest which is Clan Naga Sadow.

Methyas was, and is, a voice which carries tremendous weight both in and out of character. It’s rare to find his brand of wisdom in the Internet age, so I think we as an entire club can feel thankful that he’s on our side.

His wisdom has, in fact, seen Atra Ventus, the current Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, which fulfills his requirement to master an Apprentice to Knight. Even if he hadn’t, his time in leadership with the Clan/House/Clan is enough to make up for it a dozen times over.

Now, onto the rest of the quantifiable things; Methyas earned 20 Seals of Decimation in the Great Jedi War, and scored three Novae for his effort, two of them the coveted Gold. In addition, he’s also earned a full suite of the Merit Crosses, one of each.

I think it’s high time we as a clan, bestow upon Methyas Pepoi L’eonheart, the rank of Obelisk Exarch. The man’s most certainly earned it. Congratulations my (very slightly) older brother.

OT Mirado Pepoi L’eonheart Praetor to the Voice.

I would like to highly recommend a promotion for Methyas. Not only is he a good leader, he also is hardworking, helpful, and always looking out for not only the good of the Clan, but also for the good of the entire DJB as a whole. Along with this, he is always willing and able to help anyone who needs it and shows true spirit and compassion for the club and everyone in it. He has proved on many occasions to be one of the most active members in CNS, especially in the GJW with an astounding 20x Seals of Decimation. He has a very strong presence in IRC and is always there to help when anyone needs it. Methyas also served as Consul for CNS for 4 and a half months as well as he recently stepped up to be Aedile of House Marka Ragnos for over two months now. He has also earned various awards, amongst those being a Steel Cross, Grand Cross, Dark Cross and an Antean Cross.

He more than deserves a promotion in my honest opinion and I for one will be among the first and many to congratulate him and be happy for him when he does receive it. He continues to strive for the best and pull the best out of his people and work very hard without complaint. I hope he will be considered for a promotion as he should be.

• JH Masika Oshairana

I come to you asking for the promotion of Methyas Pepoi L’eoheart, he has been a Prelate for over a year now. In that time he has held several leadership positions including Consul of Clan Naga Sadow and is currently the Aedile for House Marka Ragnos. He’s also been a member of the wiki staff, quietly working to ensure the wiki remains up to par with the standards laid down.

In terms of activity Methyas has earned many numerous awards including 20 Seals of Decimation, 2 Gold Nova, Bronze Nova for his stellar activity in Grand Jedi War X. He’s also earned a Grand Cross, Steel Cross, Antiean Cross and a Dark Cross for many different reasons from his activity to helping out summit to assisting with projects.

As I stated earlier Methyas is Aedile of House Marka Ragnos and is helping Kalia with the day to day running of the house. However, what he does extends beyond helping Kalia, there are many times when I myself am unsure how to do something or I just need a moment of a listening ear for advice. Methyas is there to help me and anyone else on summit that needs a helping hand. It is without a doubt that Methyas wishes to see Naga Sadow succeed in its current endeavors and work to no end helping out to ensure that it happens.

Methyas was my student when he joined Naga Sadow and I have watches as he become an Aedile and eventually became Consul of Naga Sadow. He’s a wonderful person who will help anyone who needs it and has shown dedication to the Clan that I have seen in a very select few. It would be unworthy to not show our appreciation to Methyas for all of his work for the Clan. For that reason I would like to add my voice to the other recommendations here for Methyas’s promotion to Exarch.

Congrats my former student!

Exarch Teu Pepoi CNS Proconsul

Since his last promotion on 6/8/2011, Methyas has continued to work and serve the Brotherhood and the members of his Clan. He earned 20 Seals of Decimation in that time, the most of any CNS member for which he recieved a GC. He has also in this time earned clusters of Fire, 2 Gold Novae, a Bronze Nova, 2 Legions of the Scholar, a Steel Cross, 4 Crescents-two of which is are CrR, 10 Clusters of Ice, an AC, 2 LSS, and a DC. He served as Consul for 4.5 months. He has served on the wiki staff for over 7 months, and currently serves as Aedile for HMR. Methyas is also active within ToR and has offered to assist people therein. Oftentimes when folks step down from leadership roles within the DB they become very quiet. Not so with Methyas- he has continued to lead both within positions and outside of them. He has been a continually active presence within the Clan as well as working for the DB at large both within ToR as a mentor and the Wiki staff. For his hard work, dedication, and service Methyas deserves commendation and elevation.
