What are the best and worst moments of Brad's life? Have either of them shaped him as a person?
OUGH this is hard I put him through soooo many bad situations especially had to really think about this. Once again going for the 'default' Brad for this one...
Probably the worst moments of Brad's life was when one of his friends gave him a surprise gift of a trip back to his home in the Plane of Fire, as his years of lying and not mentioning his home they had no idea he had run away from there not just casually left 'on vacation' like he claimed--This subsequently lead to him getting forced back into servitude and he got stuck in multiple months of "rehabilitation" by the fire lord. This particularly hurt him because all his years of thinking he was free and never had to worry about the past came crashing down on him, his illusion broke as he learned he couldn't run forever and had to grapple with all these things he didn't want to think about. And most of all he had it brought to the forefront of his mind that he could no longer deny that he enjoyed being under command again, and relished not needing to worry about anything but turning those who opposed him and his lord to ash.
This shaped him so much, after he got rescued and finally was forced to be truthful with his allies, he no longer was hiding (as much) from them how he was feeling and his worries. He also started to reconcile on who 'Brad' and who 'Logi' was slightly, and to not deny a whole part of him as non existent. Though that took a while as after he got rescued he went through like a year of moping and even more denial about it haha.
One of his best moments? Probably the first time someone threw a birthday party for him. He had been in the mortal plane long enough that he loved parties and loved showing up to places but the idea that people would do a party for him just for him!! Was so exciting and he invited EEEVERYONE he knew (he knew a LOT of people, social butterfly) and it kinda brought him out of some kind of imposter syndrome he had that people DO love him and it made his world so so so much brighter. :)
