Primary reason

Darro is, without a doubt, one of the top members of our House. He was last promoted at the end of November last year, and since then, he has continued to demonstrate a high level of excellence within our House. For the following effort, I wish to award him with a Grand Cross.

He is a very avid gamer, having earnt himself an amazing total of 594 Clusters of Fire, 7 Pendants of Blood and 15 Clusters of Earth. He is a dedicated writer as well, earning himself 22 Clusters of Ice. What stands out the most, however, is his positive attitude and participation in everything he can get his hands on.

He has participated in 46 competitions since his promotion, which is one of the best numbers in this round of awards, and in the recent Vendetta against Clan Plagueis, he participated in 7 of 11 events. This is an exceptional level of participation in a Vendetta, and the second highest in our House. For his efforts in competitions he has earned an impressive collection of Crescents, including 2 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 2 Amethyst, 6 Sapphire, 5 Emerald and 2 Topaz Stars.

This is one of the most impressive records in our House, and I am proud to award you with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Congratulations, Darro!

Additional reasons

Darro is one of the people who at a glance seems to be just regular member of the DJB. However, he has been a strong member of the Knights, more than earning his nickname and place among them. The Bounty Hunter, as he is called, has been highly active, and so far has not given up the chase. Since he got his promotion five months ago, he has proven time and time again that he is worthy of having a Grand Cross. During the Knights of Allusis last big storyline, which involved a run-on, he joined the rest of the Knights in jumping into the run-on before it was made a competition. His level of activity during the time was amazing, and since then he has only done more. Congratulations Darro!

Darro is one of those members that definitely shows up when called upon. I have on many occasion dragged Darro into a Division or SW: Battlefront party for a gaming session. He Is always willing to help other members earn cluster and participate in in competitions.

Darro also answered our call for idea’s about for Hoth’s New Planet and he came through with some great ideas that I hope will be included in the final design. His eye for detail and fictional flair is nice to see.

His number clearly reflect his dedication not only to himself but to the House as well. 46 Competitions with 594 Clusters of Fire and 22 Cluster’s of Ice is no small feat.

All in All i’m proud to have such a great Warrior in House Hoth, Congratulations Darro on your Grand Cross!

Primary reason

As a Clan presence, Darro has shown himself to be a calm and collected member of the Odanite family, who is willing to put in exceptional levels of activity, which upon inspection shows to be activity in a wide spectrum of the available possibilities in the Brotherhood. Darro has put in an immense amount of effort into Gaming and his Fiction writing whilst further dabbling in both Graphics and the Shadow Academy. In the last five months, Darro has shown his mettle by participating in a total sum of fifty-seven competitions, earning eighteen Crescents, four Pendants of Blood, a huge seven hundred and forty-three Clusters of fire, fifteen Clusters of Ice, two Clusters of Graphite and a Legion of the Scholar.

I will shortly defer to his House Summits to provide a more detailed account on Darro, however I would also like to mention that Darro has provided a consistent presence on Telegram and is a well liked member of the Clan, we on the Odanite Summit do greatly appreciate those who bring a good attitude and prompt fun and thoughtful conversations in Odan-Urr, ultimately that level of presence and high-quality attitude are the things that help push the Clan forward into further greatness.

Congratulations, Darro!

What can I say about (insert name here) he/she (sorry he changes characters so much he might not be Darro when this is approved), he is an active, forward-thinking, always volunteering team player. Besides the many fun hours we have spent gaming together, he is always participating in events and competitions that it makes even me feel like I could be doing a bit more. I had the honor of doing a 2 man run on with him this past Halloween which would end up to be extremely fun to do.

Darro is a friendly and good natured soul that is always willing to go the extra mile to help another member, to help his battleteam, his House, and his Clan. His jumped on the chance to join the wiki projects and is currently working on bringing House Hoth’s base to life.

Darro is quickly becoming my go-to guy and he more than deserves his 2nd Grand Cross! Congratulations!

Torin/Darro/whatever name he’s going by this week is by far one of the most active members in my battleteam, and as a leader, I’m ecstatic to see it. Arcia/Esca has already covered his rather impressive numbers, but members are more than just the numbers we see in the tools. Torin is a constant bright side of the day on Telegram, always being positive, and he promotes the fictional aspect of Brotherhood in making characters (so many characters) and generally prompting thoughtful conversations. Don’t just think he’s a good sport with writing, he’ll be the first to admit that even though he’s not the best at shooters, he enjoys the nightly sessions of Overwatch we have.

I am pleased to be able to help him get this award, he represents the best of the new generation for the Brotherhood and I’m excited to see just how far he goes in his career.

Commander Darro Zhen has proven to those around him that activity does not have a limit, nor is it constrained by a period of time. He has shown his Summit and those around him that he can do what it takes to lead by example and show his fellow Clanmates what an active member of the Brotherhood looks like and continue being a friendly guy about it. I hope that those around him can take even a single piece of his drive and apply it to their daily Brotherhood life so that they can also enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Over the past five (5) months, Darro has accomplished an incredible amount of work that highlights his ability to remain one of House Hoth’s, and possibly Clan Odan-Urr’s, most active members. In this period of time, Darro has received two (2) Crescents with Ruby Star, a Crescent with Amethyst Star, eight (8) Crescents with Sapphire Star, three (3) Crescents with Emerald Star, four (4) Crescents with Topaz Star, four (4) Pendants of Blood, seven hundred forty-three (743) Clusters of Fire, fifteen (15) Clusters of Ice, two (2) Clusters of Graphite and a Legion of the Scholar. His awarded achievements have been brought to light through his staggering fifty-seven (57) participated competitions, easily accenting the personal activity drive as mentioned above. Two (2) PvP, fifty (50) PvE and four (4) Fiction activities (the latter consisting of over six thousand five-hundred (6,500) words written) show that Darro does not simply focus on one branch of the club, but attempts to encompass everything the Brotherhood has to offer a member such as himself. To close it up, Darro has managed to complete a single Shadow Academy course as well. Have to restart that knowledge train somehow!

At the end of the day, Darro is a wonder and a prize to have in House Hoth and Clan Odan-Urr. It is my extreme pleasure to be bestowing Commander Darro Zhen with a Grand Cross for his efforts in bettering not only himself within the Brotherhood, but also Unit and fellow Clansmen. Thank you for everything you do, Darro. Keep up the fantastic work.
