Intergalactic Summit

On Sunday, 25/10/117, I was officially baptised into the Amarr Orthodox faith by Holy Mother Amalath of the Order of Jamyl. Pending processing of the relevant paperwork, I am now an official member of the faith and a full subject of the Amarr Empire.

It has been a long home coming, with its fair share of trials and doubts. I am certain there are plenty of distant relatives of mine back in the State who will be disappointed that I am renouncing that heritage. Some might even say that I spit on my father's grave, but I counter this by saying my father himself was a convert. He took up the faith and culture of the woman he loved and embraced it as his own.

In the State I always felt out of place. Raised as best as my parents could do in believing in the Scripture, and standing out for my foreign face, my difference to the other boys at the Ishukone schools was evident. As much as I respect and try to honour parts of my Caldari heritage, ultimately my soul has always belonged to God.

Since becoming a capsuleer shortly after the loss of both of my parents, I have wandered the cluster, and beyond. The Citadel, The Forge, Tribute. Providence, Domain and Anoikis. I have lived in these different places, trying to find where I fit in with God's Plan. Reconciling the many divergant parts that make up the whole of myself has lead to weakness, fear and a wanderlust, never quite at ease with where I am for long.

However. Towards the end of my employment with XIII, the wormhole corporation I helped restart, I finally found my home. Amarr. The Empire of God. With the help of the faithful and my friends I have felt the strength to fight addiction. With the help of my brothers and sisters of Amarr, I have found a place I feel I can belong. With the help of my extended family, notably my Grandfather Lord Thiago Gallius, I have managed to embrace the heritage my parents truly desired for me had things been more ideal those twenty and seven years ago.

From the bottom of my heart, for all those who have helped me get to this stage of my journey, I thank you. To the Praetorians who have taught me the meaning of fighting for God and Throne, I thank you. To Holy Mother Amalath who taught me of all those finer details, and worked for nearly a year bringing my religious education up to scratch, I thank you. Thal Vadam, Bel Boma, Samira Kernher, Arkon Sarain (God take his soul) and inumerable others, thank you.

Finally, to all those who have tested me. Those whom have been my opponants in the warzone, made me doubt myself, or otherwise filled my heart with a holy rage, I also thank even you. Without the darkness and struggles, I would never have known the bliss of the light.

I hope to continue this journey, and thank God for the opportuny I have been granted to walk His Path.

Amarr Victor.

I'm truly happy for you and somewhat feel blessed to have been witness to the ceremony.

Here there was a text.

Many different peoples have been intrigued and curious about the Amarr faith over the years , i like many Caldari believe in the wisdom of our spirits and the Way. The Amarr are our long term allies and friends in the war against the Federation. I wish you well on the undertaking and path you have chosen Utari Onzo. My only advice is, when you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. It will have been a life worth living.

The long path to a baptism is not done overnight. While I was raised in the faith by my parents, I was not able to access an education sufficient for any kind of "fast track" application for citizenship. I started the proceedings to become a baptised citizen many months ago while the Empress still walked with us, and sadly the time it was considered right for that baptism was a time that Her Majesty had returned to God.

Know that I have always carried His Word in my heart, it is just an unfortunate timing of bureaucracy that my final acceptance has taken place now.

Congratulations, Mr. Onzo on the religious service. We have received an affadavit of Reclaiming from mother and are in the process of digitizing it.

In the meantime, these three items have been submitted and your Citizenship is being fast-tracked.

1. Combined Form C-791 BR-1 along with the aforementioned affadavit of Reclaiming to the Amarr Civil Service and the Ministry of Internal Order

2. Form C-3088 to the Amarr Civil Service

3. Form R-200 to the Ministry of Assessment



We will provide an update upon receiving your Certificate of Citizenship, as well as confirmation of processing of forms C-3088 and R-200.

Congratulations on embracing one of the True Faiths.

Adults with imaginary friends are pathetic.

And you are an awful Sansha wannabe that has to remind everyone how much of a jerk he is! Constantly!

Just let Mister Onzo have his moment okay?

Congratulations. Good luck with your not so new found..... uh..... heritage I guess?
