House Awesome
House Awesome is an SCA household of enthusiastic and somewhat crazy fighters which draws its numbers from a few current and ex St. Monicans. The great House Awesome journey began in early 2008, when a summer tourney inspired three young SCAdians to form a household for themselves and their friends. The name "House Awesome" originally began as a casual working title but has since stuck.
House Awesome's colours are blue, black and gold (the colours of a bruise) and its device includes a rampant dragon ("Let's have a dragon. Dragons are awesome.") Each of its members wears a recognisable household tabard on the war and tourney field. Each tabard has the House Awesome dragon placed over the groin area, which has caused members of the group to refer to a hit to the groin as a hit "in the dragon".
The household does have a few strict membership requirements. While members do not necessarily have to fight all the time (but preferably sometimes) to be a part of House Awesome, they must all contribute in some way to the household and possess a love for violence of the SCA persuasion, while all fighters must own a household tabard. Above all, members MUST be awesome. As such, currently there is only one member, and he's in it ironically.
Within its first year, House Awesome's numbers grew from 0 to 1 and formed an alliance with House Reverie as a war unit and a force to be reckoned with, mostly because that same one guy is the only one in all of the SCA, and we do mean all the SCA, who shaves, showers, uses deodorant, has a girlfriend, and has a life in general. He's won the SCA's Medal of Normalcy for the past three years in a row. To date he has not shown up to pick up his medals, nor has he shown up for the past two years, eleven months, and twenty-nine days. *sigh*

- Lord Bertram of St. Monica (heavy fighter)
- Katherina die Lowin (plumed archer)

- Lord Leif Magnusson (heavy fighter)
