Hello Dimentia. I'm Acorn. I live in Boise and am in Catalyst, I just only go to fight about every other week. I will be at practice next week so we can meet then and I can answer more questions you may have. Thank you for the interest in our unit. Love the enthusiasm.
Also, to second what everyone said before, we Belgrim (people of Belegarth), highly recommend fighting for a while before joining any unit. I also recommend looking at other units and groups as well, just as seriously as you consider us, as many times it is the chemistry between people that leads to joining a unit.
As is mentioned in our Wiki, Catalysts are often active leaders in their area and work to contribute to Belegarth in some way, such as service, fighting innovation, event planning, art, music, teaching, etc. As such, in order to be considered for membership you generally have to have been around long enough to put in that kind of work. Catalyst also chooses few members at a time and it can be a long process. That being said, since we actively encourage growth we would love to help point you toward actions that might help you toward Catalyst in the future. The enthusiasm to learn and get garb and weapons that you've shown is great and is exactly the type of thing we look for, so well done.
We are a very inclusive unit and you do not have to be associated with us in any way to hang or train with us periodically. In fact, the Quarterly War College and North West training days offered in Portland are run by Catalyst members and also include cross unit teachers, and are open to all fighters. That would be the best opportunity to train with Catalyst members. As Iggy mentioned, units are groups of friends/comrades who join together, so actively seeking out different unit members to see if you gel with them is another good approach, as you may not like us, and don't want to rush into anything as a new fighter.
Hope that helps. See ya next week!
