A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation
Nominee: Zarkenis Ultima
Proposed by: Thousand Branches
The Security Council,
Lauding the rich culture and remarkable history of Zarkenis Ultima, a nation whose people have achieved a mastery of narrative arts seldom seen across the wide realm of NationStates;
Wishing to highlight Zarkenis Ultima’s finesse in the many forms and genres of artistic collaboration, working with dozens of artists, writers, and actors from nations across the multiverse to produce astonishing works;
Yearning for the return of Elfen High, an epic and fantastical TV show that featured an expanse of Zarkenian characters, episodes, and cinematography - especially during the show's unforgettable finale - including:
Alastor, a lowly demon who came to be known as the Demon Lord, cleverly conquering and modernizing Hell and going on to provide an unforgettable impact in the legendary final battle against Oberon, King of the fae;
One of the wildest twists of the show and a jumpstart to the final standoff, where Lyra Longshire, one of Zarkenis Ultima’s longest running characters, unleashed the power of a nuclear missile onto the moon, effectively stopping Oberon in his tracks and destroying a key component of the faelord's plan to remake the universe;
Two of the show's best epilogues, wherein Alastor and Lyra were visited in their old age and finally given the happy endings they both deserved, an incredibly emotional moment for not just those characters but the show’s entire fanbase;
Endlessly impressed with Zarkenis Ultima's incredible knack for comics, being one of the main contributors in two of the world's most famous comic book runs:
1. Infinite Justice: Beyond, the third (and arguably most successful) iteration in the Infinite Justice saga, a comic series dedicated to international comic crossover, mixing characters and series on an unimaginable scale and allowing for some of the most legendary and interesting moments in comic history, including those contributed by Zarkenis Ultima such as:
Their first published comic in the series about a young alien from a faraway world who found themselves unceremoniously transported to Earth, where they had to learn to be more human than their alien nature might allow, a demonstration of their ability to write interesting comics without relying on suspense or violence;
The emergence of The World-Dragon, an ancient and angry deity, from the center of the planet Hadrimmelis, where it destroyed an entire fleet of spaceships upon creation and left comic readers everywhere speechless;
2. Young Bloods, a currently-running series co-created by Zarkenis Ultima that centers around a group of young heroes and their trials and tribulations through both superheroism and teenage life. The lively characters and their unforgettable adventures have become a cult hit throughout the entire multiverse;
Astonished at the continued success of Elementals, a nearly decade old collaborative fantasy series, whose success is in large part due to Zarkenis Ultima’s contributions which include:
The character of Tristan Frost, an ice magician who learned to overcome his fear of adventure to become one of the strongest and bravest heroes in the multiverse, once defeating a demon-lord in combat to save his wife;
The series’ organization, writing, and story-building during two long periods of Elementals’ creation when the original authors were not able to continue writing, including during the finale of the second volume;
Their undeniable contributions to the battle aboard the Devil’s Luck, one of the most climactic and exciting scenes of the series and an excellent show of literary collaboration between several different authors and their subsequent characters and ideas;
Fascinated by the rich folklore and ancient mythos of the Zarkenian people, especially the tale of the Children of Infinity, a story of a future race shaping and building their universe around all the magic and craziness around them; while the tale has been popularized and altered throughout many nations, it was the Zarkenian people who truly created what would grow into such a universally loved mythology, including the original recorded tellings of:
The Phantom Blade, the fable of Lady Sylvalladine, a young magician whose adventures across the universe ended in a fierce battle and an unforgettable legend;
The first stories of The Silver Hand Academy, which came to be the core of the tale of the Children of Infinity and grew into a flourishing and detailed world rivaled by few;
The duels at the first Academy welcoming ceremony, including that between Elsis and Arogisl, a fight scene that single handedly introduced much of the early magic and combat and inspired incredible creativity for many years to come;
Awed by the magic that Zarkenis Ultima is able to imbue into their great nation's many writings, and confident that such talents should not go unrecognized;
Hereby commends Zarkenis Ultima.
