For his outstanding work and dedication in support of both the JST and CM staffs. Thanks for all you have done.

GM Pravus.

Right Hand of Justice, Left Hand of Justice, Right Hand of Justice (the order in which came first can be a bit confusing to some). Alaris Jinn has held nearly every position within the Chamber, with the exception of Justicar. Don't let that fool you however, as the man is my de facto Deputy Justicar, and closest counsel on all matters Chamber related. He continues to hold the record for most cases tried as a Hand, a feat that is impressive on it's own. What amazes me is Alaris' ability to transition so smoothly from the defense, to the prosecution without a single hiccup in functionality or work performance. He has been instrumental in talks regarding upcoming Covenant amendments and Chamber policies, and is always at the forefront of every case investigation. His arguments are clear and informative when pushing through the trial process, of which he has mastered in his several terms on the Chamber of Justice. Without a doubt, he is the most experienced Hand of Justice we will ever see, and I have been downright lucky to have such a member devoted to the process of justice we follow in the club. For his astounding work and dedication, I am extremely honored to recommend Alaris this AK. Congratulations!

Alaris has been instrumental to the Character Sheet system since he joined the team several months ago. He immediately began work, picking up and filling out several skills, before even being assigned a particular project. He took quickly to the idea of writing a Guide, and his framework was used for the more complete guide my staff is getting ready for release. His most active and meaningful work, however, occurred in the weeks preceding the beta release of the system. He spent many nights until 3 am or later working on various aspects of the system. He wrote up dozens of Skill and Feat descriptions. When I made it clear I needed some help filling in some of the Force Power progressions, Alaris waded in and helped finish them off, probably accounting for a quarter of them in that area alone. His effort has been instrumental to the release of this system, and he has been a key part of half a dozen smaller scale projects within the larger system. He absolutely deserves this AK for all of his hard work and effort!

During my tenure as Consul, Alaris Jinn has been one of the members I have always been able to rely on. His work for Taldryan as Proconsul has been a welcome help to me and his presence on the Summit has been both inspiring and helpful. Alaris has taught me much about leadership and I would have not been able to successfully lead Taldryan without him and his support.

During his time as Proconsul Alaris has led by example through his activity. He has organized, and co-organized, 63 competitions and participated in 92, 15 of which were during the recent GJW. Of those 92 competitions Alaris has placed in 16 of them earning 15 crescents and a Gold Nova! He has also competed in 57 pvp matches, 16 pve matches, and 5 ACC fights. Through his various activities Alaris has earned 5 Pendants of Blood, 276 Clusters of Fire, 25 Clusters of Ice, and 60 Clusters of Earth.

Alaris has been instrumental in the development of Taldryan’s new Naval and Military Forces. He proposed a number of budgets to ensure that the Navy was as well rounded as possible. He also took the lead on the organization and naming aspects of the fleet and military force. To keep activity in Taldryan up, Alaris has ran several different competition series, including Fiction, Poetry, and Trivia. Alaris was instrumental in the creation of not only the Taldryan-Odan Urr event earlier this year, but also in setting up the Plaguies-Taldryan pro bowl event that took place this past summer.

While he was working as a Proconsul for Tal, Alaris has remained active in other areas of the club, earning him two Antien Crosses. He was a member of the Appeals Panel and an ACC judge. Alaris has used the skills he learned from these two positions to help teach and lead the Clan during stressful times and competitions.

Because of all of these reasons and more I believe that Alaris has more than earned an Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations Alaris!

Alaris -bleeping- Jinn: the myth, the legend. Since their return to Clan Plagueis Alaris has established themselves as a truly indefensible part of the Ascendant Clan, both as dynamo of activity as well as a damn fine leader. It is no exaggeration to say that my work as Consul would be immeasurably harder if not for Alaris's fine work as my right hand, but even that is selling the blue one a bit short. Alaris has been much more a partner in crime as it were than a subordinate, providing invaluable counsel as we have both worked to drive the Clan forward.

As an individual competitor, Alaris has shown out at the most exceptional level. During the recent Rite of Supremacy: Escalation Alaris submitted to 16 competitions (earning 16 seals along with them) while placing top ten in 7 of them. When the Pro Bowl came along, however, Alaris really kicked it into gear with their return to the event for the first time since the second Pro Bowl while they were a member of Taldryan. Alaris was a perfect 25 for 25 when it came to competition entries, grabbed a top three finish in 8 of those competitions, amassed 196 total points, and took second place overall out of 56 total entrants. In all, Alaris has submitted to 101 competitions since their last recognition (over half of that coming since assuming the position of Proconsul) and brought home 45 competition awards for their placements: 1 each of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze novae to complement 4 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 12 Amethyst, 11 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, 1 Topaz, and 2 Quartz crescents. They've grabbed a cross section of clusters as well, with 203 Clusters of Earth and 39 Clusters of Fire for gaming, 11 Clusters of Ice for their 3,714 word of fiction and 2 RO posts, and 6 Clusters of Graphite for graphics entries. Quite the haul on its own.

However, Alaris has also been an indispensable part of the Plagueis summit. During the Rite of Supremacy we decided that it would be best if Alaris and myself split ourselves between the two teams most likely to attract members of Clan Plagueis. Even though our personal preference might have been to stick together, especially for team events, Alaris knew that ensuring that a top level summit member was on each team and in each team chat would be integral to offer guidance and encouragement to all our Clan members. Alaris was a vocal and contributing presence within their team, helping me guide our House summit members in how and when best to message their members and maintain engagement. They have completed assigned summit reports on time as requested while helping to oversee the communications being sent out by the House summits as well. And, as alluded to above, Alaris has provided much needed input on all policy decisions that the Clan has made since joining the summit, as well as helped mediate minor conflicts that have arisen and provide constructive feedback to summit members on where there were opportunities for them to do even better.

An ever present voice in summit chat, Alaris is the very epitome of what it means to be a Proconsul. Plagueis would not be where it is, generating 220+ entries during a multi-clan event, without their tireless and expert work on the Clan summit. I would like to offer my hearty thanks for the work they do every day to make Plagueis a Clan that all of us can be proud to call home.

Alaris has been an excellent right hand during my tenure as Consul of Clan Plagueis, a solid pillar upon which we can build around on our staff. They have been a solid contributor as both an individual participant as well as in the capacity of leadership and mentoring.

As a competitor, Alaris has managed to find plenty of bandwidth in addition to their duties as Proconsul. During the recent Great Jedi War, Alaris submitted to 19 total competitions (while gaining 100% bin participation), earning 1 Gold Nova and an additional 7 top ten placements to bring in 510 points for our Clan during the event. Their points alone accounted for nearly 20% of the points our entire Clan earned, making those contributions absolutely critical as they are the difference between the fourth place our Clan earned and finishing in sixth place. All told, they have participated in 74 total competitions since their most recent promotion, placing in 31 of them to collect 6 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire, 1 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 3 Quartz crescents to go along with the aforementioned Nova. Never one to shy away from a good bit of gaming, Alaris has also earned 131 Clusters of Fire and 315 Clusters of Earth across 53 gaming activities. They rounded out their cluster collection over the last seven months with 4 Clusters of Graphite for art and 7 Clusters of Ice for their 2,010 words of fiction. Also, proving that an old dog can always learn new tricks, Alaris also passed 16 Shadow Academy courses and earned a Shadow Academy degree as well.

A remarkable collection of work to be sure, but Alaris also shined in a leadership role while providing support and activities for others. They organized 3 competitions and served as co-organizer on another. Additionally, they earned a scroll of indoctrination and a scroll of the master for first recruiting and then mentoring Nora Olen to the rank of JM4 (though she has since moved on to her first Equite rank). Nora also collected 516 of our Clan's points, so Alaris is also directly or one place removed from responsibility for 35% of the Clan's points. Like I said above, critical contributions. In their role as Proconsul, Alaris has been key at identifying shortcomings and gaps amongst our staff and our processes. Most importantly, Alaris has served directly as a mentor for Khryso Mallus as Quaestor of House Tyranus since the latter moved up from the position of Aedile, providing pivotal instruction to help out with unfamiliar DB processes and administrative features. During the Great Jedi War they served as one of our many dedicated staffers that were encouraging the membership and helping drive our activity levels to increase nearly over 23% when compared to last year's Rite of Supremacy, even as we saw some of our more veteran members able to bring less to the table last year. In short, Plaguies is not where it is right now without Alaris and what they bring to the Summit.

Their service has been exemplary, and both the Clan as a whole and myself in particular are extremely honored to have enjoyed the fruits of Alaris's labor. It had been a while since Alaris had been in the leadership of the Ascendant Clan, but even nearly a decade away was not enough to dull their abilities or drive for our Clan's success. Many thanks, Alaris.

Alaris is going to have to change their name to something with Amethyst in it if they keep going at this rate. They have maintained a level of activity that Clan Plagueis depends on, showing up as a force in each and every major event that we have had on the calendar. Our Ascending Confederacy house v house feud and clan feud vs Taldryan: How about going 14/17 on entries in both events while earning 12 top three competition placements? The Pro Bowl was a real tour de force for Alaris: 31 out of 32 competition entries, 7 top three competition placements (with an impressive 5 first place finishes), and an overall score of 249 points that was good for third place overall. All told, Alaris has entered 130 competitions since their last award while earning 72 crescents (a 55% placement rate) broken down as follows: 11 Diamond, 14 Ruby, 18 Amethyst, 15 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 1 Quartz. On the cluster front, Alaris has earned them all: 168 Clusters of Fire, 7 Clusters of Ice, 377 Clusters of Earth, and 12 Clusters of graphite. Alaris has also gone above and beyond, serving as a valuable advisor to the Clan summit as a Consul emeritus over the last year. Most recently, they really stepped up during the Pro Bowl to help guide other members, both on his team and on others, through the Alien Swarm game that was used in two events. Their contributions over the last year go beyond the numbers that show up in the assessment tool, and Plagueis would not be where we are today without their tireless contributions.
