Partnership for Sovereignty Recommendation: Vote FOR “Commend Zarkenis Ultima”

Commend Zarkenis Ultima

Voting Recommendation: FOR

Reasoning: The Security Council proposal “Commend Zarkenis Ultima” aims to recognize the works of an esteemed NationStates forum roleplayer, who has spent a multitude of years writing enchanting and fantastical stories.

The proposal explores Zarkenis's unique penchant for creating interesting plot points and engaging characters. This is firstly shown by the proposal's exploration of Elfen High, a roleplay regarding a particularly vicious fantasy high school where Zarkenis's characters - Alaster (who modernized Hell) and Lycra (who halted the villain’s plans with a nuclear bomb) - were instrumental in driving the plot forward. The proposal’s further in-depth dive into the tales of Infinite Justice: Beyond (a large crossover roleplay) and Young Bloods (a slice-of-life teenage superhero story) further establishes Zarkenis's skills as a writer.

The proposal then dives deeper by detailing how Zarkenis often plays a more fundamental role in shaping roleplays' lore. One example of such is Elementals (a still-running decade-long fantasy roleplay), where Zarkenis temporarily took over production when the original writers were unable to continue guiding the roleplay. Children of Infinity, a detailed roleplay about a futuristic race re-building the universe, is another explored mythos that indicates how Zarkenis's written works often become integral parts of larger narratives.

In terms of rhetoric and narration, this proposal is solid. The method by which the author chooses to review Zarkenis's roleplays as varying forms of media (like comic books or a television show) helps the proposal’s content become much more engaging and marks it as unique from the vast multitude of Security Council resolutions. Every clause also serves as a strong point to display the care Zarkenis puts into crafting their characters and marking plot points. It is, overall, a resolution that thoroughly highlights the most notable points of an expansive & expressive roleplaying career.

This proposal is ultimately one that thoroughly explores hefty contributions towards NationStates roleplay - both by providing inspiration for other roleplayers and producing developed storylines others can partake in - that holistically make NationStates a better place. Its unique narrative style and selective focus on the nominee's work also marks the proposal as one-of-a-kind, one that gives a much needed addition to the Security Council's diversity.

Therefore, in the interests of promoting positive community development through roleplay, pushing Security Council diversity to new norms, and recognizing the hard work of Zarkenis as a literary artist, the Partnership of Sovereignty recommends voting FOR this “Commend Zarkenis Ultima”.
