Honestly, I hate Braham’s character so much. In itself, he is very poorly written. He showed none of this emotion for the man who raised him but now with his mother who has recently just become close to him and passed on is now the be all and end all of his life. Like I understand she is important but his emotional reactions make no sense. To me it comes off as poorly written.
To me it makes sense that their most angst-ridden and foolish character is the one who goes off and makes a weapon to chip a tooth. If you speak to Elder Ulf about the “legend” (myth), he claims that it mostly just gives people goals to aspire to and that there is no need to be honest about it just being a myth. I believe what Braham has done is meant to create a conflict between the Norn and the other races. This chipping of the tooth mean his people will look to him to lead an assault on Jormag and Braham is not ready to do such a thing due to his carelessness, he has proved that multiple times by rushing in, this time in particular getting Rox frozen and then he has nothing to contribute by any sort of idea that you have to crash the monster into the little ice things, to me this might be somewhat intentional because he just bashes an ice creature the whole time and offers no assistance. On top of that, he seemed to show no real concern to what happened to Rox due to his behavior. Like others have said, we need to be united in order to make the Dragon’s fall.
Furthermore, it is insulting to hear coming from Braham’s mouth that his mother would not want us in Destiny’s Edge. They have been hit with such deadly forces in the past, any of the current members would be able to tell it would be time to call it quits and assist a new guild in taking on forces, far greater then they ever could. Zojja told us herself that we were a huge portion of DE’s firepower. Eir, for the most part was an incredibly smart and level-headed norn, who would have learned that fighting the Dragon’s alone wasn’t an option. Why else would she end up in a guild that was filled with mixed races with common goals and enemies. If she learned anything from fighting Zhaitan, it’s that working together is the only way. Braham doesn’t know Eir and bring shame to her legacy and unless his character actually could show some growth in a way that actually makes sense rather than continue to prove him time and time again that he is just a brutish guy with a rock for a brain, then honestly I hope his character get serious consequences and with his assault on Jormag, I hope it fails miserably, maybe he even dies honestly. It is infuriating to see the lack of consequences for his dumb actions, it often effects others and he won’t even care.
The other characters all have something to offer, sure Marjory didn’t listen when we told her it was a bad idea to go off with Lazarus, but that is something we need to find out and she is someone who shows she can think things through and offer well thought out ideas. Not only that, but her personality is far better written and when her family member died, she didn’t act entirely foolish, she listened to friends and learned. Not only that but she was actually raised with her sister, side by side. I am not trying to imply Braham can’t be hurt by his mother’s death, I am just saying that it makes no sense for him to have shown no emotion for his father and all the emotion for his mother with very little presence in his life. I am an angsty person and I am not close with my mother, in fact I would say I have a similar reaction to my mother as Braham used to, but if I got close to her and then she passed away there is no way I would act out for her the way Braham does for his mother, but I am close with my father, he raised me and I would be absolutely heart broken. This is probably why to me, his character reactions make no sense.
