Clan:Amanecer



Clan Amanecer is a Runescape clan founded by Darke_Physik, and co-founded by Nikrocks1. The clan first appeared on March 13th 2009, but was approximately conceived around November of 2008. Since its creation, Amanecer is one of the fastest developing clans in Runescape. The clan's homeworld is 99, and in-game clan chat is "Clanamanecer". The clan's website is http://clanamanecer.com, and as of February 6th, 2010, has over 100 site members.

Clan Classes and Ranks
With in Clan Amanecer there are three main classes. Each class defines and determines the ranks of clan members as well as organizes the clan into a manageable system. These three classes, in order of least to greatest power, are the Caballeros, the Espada, and the Reyes.

Los Caballeros
Within the clan the cablleros is the lowest ranked class. Due to the fact there is no exact limit to how many cablleros there may be, they are the most numerous in the clan. Seventy to Eight percent of all clan members fall into the cablleros class. In ranking caballeros can be anywhere from corporal to lieutenant.

Las Espada
The Espada is the second highest clan class. In combat, the Espada rule over the masses of Caballeros. Unlike the Caballeros, the Espada are limited in number. There may only be up to nine Espada at any given time. Currently the requirements to become an Espada are 100+ plus combat, and have held a membership in the clan for at least one consecutive month. Members of the Espada are always ranked Captain. As of February 2010, five out of the nine positions for Espada are occupied.

Los Reyes
The Reyes is the highest clan class. In combat, they control the Espada. Similar to the Espada they are limited in number, in that there may only be up to three Reyes at any time. The current entry requirements for the Reyes are 115+ combat, and have held a membership in the clan for at least two consecutive months. Members of the Reyes always hold the rank of General. Very few clan members ever achieve entrance into this class.

Conception Period
(November - December 2008)

November & December
Clan Amanecer was first conceived by Darke_Physik in November of 2008. Darke, a past leader of clan BSK, had always wanted a hand in the clan business and chose to get started by forming his own clan. After conceiving about creating a clan, Darke informed his rs and real life friend Nikrocks1. Nik was adamant about the idea and chose to co-lead with Darke in the formation of the clan.

Between Nov-December 2008, Darke and Nik came up with a draft for the out-line and structure of the clan. Inspired by the anime Bleach, Darke based much of the Clan's structure off the main antagonists in the show, Las Espada, and is direct bases for the clan class. As return, Nik revised much of Darke's original plan, fixing possible loop holes and revising errors. Originally the clan system proposed to have a total of 8 clan Espada, and three Reyes. (This was later changed to include the Exequias and a 9th Captain.)

Assimilation Period
(January - Febuary 2009)

January
Following this Darke and Nik began to search runescape for possible members. The third recruited member to the clan was Iamnotniceok (later revealed to be Euroskiwi), who became the 3rd clan general at the time.

A few other notable members were recruited during this period, who would later set the foundation for the clan. Some of which were; Slinke Man77, Jedi Emily, Toeatmeat, and Old Hunter.

Febuary
On February Friday the 13th, a social was held to introduce possible members to one another as well as produce the sense of a community. It was at this social that Slinke Man77 introduced Daking0987 to the clan, who later succeeded Iamnotniceok as General.

At this meeting it was officially announced that the level requirement to become a clan captain was to be set at 90+ combat, for 6 weeks from the meeting on April 30th. During this meeting Lean256 officially joined the clan, and was promoted to captain.

Website
In early March the clan's very first website was established. The website was formed using a Forum Circle account, and provided members with a basic forum system, and a way for general announcements to be posted. This original website has since been taken down, terminated in August 2009, it was surpassed by the newer and current website.

Later in May, Stewie999222, and Magician115 were promoted to captain.

Summer Stale Period
(June - July 2009)

June
June marked a surge in clan membership. Peaking at around 50 members, this new surge was so large it unfortunately turned into a detriment on the clan. The problem was only fueled due to further poor management by the captains and generals, and wide-spread disorganization began to become evident. This growing problem of disorganization and mismanagement through out the clan later, would continue to increase during the Summer of 2009, giving it the name, the 'Summer Stale Period'.

July
During July, Darke Physik had to leave the clan for a period due to personal reasons. In Darke's absence head exequia, Insan3 Fr33k, was made temporary clan leader. After Darke's temporary departure, disorganization continued to spread through out, as well as inactivity. These problems started to manifest more and began to bare heavy a cripple on the clan.
