Loka has been an ethusiastic student since his days as a new Apprentice in House Ektrosis. Since being appointed to the role of BTL, he's flourished under the responsibility. Ever keen and enthusiastic, we knew it was only a matter of time before he was awarded with his sabre. Congratulations, Knight.

Jedi Hunter Lokasena Corvinus is a critical member of Ektrosis. Since a very early stage in his membership of this club, and of this house, Sena has been an outstanding figure of activity, and enthusiasm. As a mere member, while I was still his Tetrarch, he participated in every competition I provided him a link to, and with great joy. This has not ceased, especially now that he has attained the rank of Jedi Hunter. During the most recent Great Jedi War, Sena provided a large number of supporting posts in the Clan Run-On, and participated heavily in the Library of Lears House Competition, submitting to nearly every event. But to list the entirety House, Clan, and DB competitions that he has participated in, and placed in, would make this recommendation far too lengthy! In addition to the competitions he has taken part in, Lokasena is also deeply involved in the House of Ektrosis. He is a great leader of the Phoenix Phyle Battleteam, providing a constant stream of great low-level competitions for his few members. Despite the lack of general participation, his enthusiasm is not tampered, and his reports reflect this. He is willing to take on projects to further the House and Clan. Late last year, he began working on a project with Envoy Alanna Taldrya to compile a list of definitions of common DB abbreviations into the Taldryan Codex. After that, he provided supporting material, and very detailed work, for The Quaestor’s Taruma Project. As a member of the Clan, Sena is very active on the Message Boards, welcoming new members publicly, even if they aren’t of our own house, and visits the IRC channels regularly. He’s friendly and personable. It is my distinct pleasure, and great honor to present this recommendation on his behalf for a Promotion to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. May your Saber serve you well.

Since Vodo covered most of the specifics, I would like to highlight some of the more abstract and personable qualities in Lokasena.

During my term as Quaestor, I have seen a lot of different types of people. Loka is truly an individual in House Ektrosis. He never loses the will to do what his superiors ask of him, and is just full of energy and enthusiasm that not one member of Ektrosis can match. Despite doing a project (the acronym dictionary) that ended up not being needed (in which he was awarded a Dark Cross), he still pursued to do the Taruma project that I created for all the Jedi Hunters in Ektrosis. He turned his entry first, and its contents were incredibly in-depth and articulated. The amount of time and effort he put in truly demonstrates his compassion for the DB universe, and it will only be a matter of time before his work is posted on the DB wiki.

As Vodo stated before, Lokasena participates in every competition he can get his hands on. <b>Every</b> one. It'd be a waste of my time to try and figure out if he did at least fifteen as the Clan Taldryan promotion guidelines state, because there is no doubt in my mind he has done nearly double of that! Also an active member of the Antei Combat Centre, Lokasena has finished eight matches with a 4-4 record.

His charismatic style of leadership as a Battleteam Leader of a struggling Battleteam has exemplified his will to make the best of things despite the worst of circumstances. He puts 110% in day in and day out, and there is no one else I would rather have as BTL in Ektrosis.

Lastly, Lokasena is the poster boy for the Taldryan Values: Building Relationships, Respect, Integrity, Having Fun, Excellence, and Taking Care of Our People. There is not a single area in which he struggles or lacks, and as Quaestor of House Ektrosis, I hereby elevate Lokasena to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight!

Congratulations!

2. Placed first in the Ekky Caption Comp: http://darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=2849

3. Been an active member through emails, and has been keeping regular Battleteam Leader reports, as well as an occasional IRC presence.

Setting the specifics aside, I'm very proud of the growth Sena has shown during his stay in Ektrosis. His participation in the recent Great Jedi War is worth noting, and his promotion to BTL has proven so. I applaud his efforts at encouraging activity within his Battleteam, and I only hope his motivation and enthusiasm only keep growing. Good work, Jedi Hunter!
