Bren

Bren is the first member of the Bren SMP, having joining on the start date (May 15th, 2021) He is the key founder and first President of Lavia, a member of TraitorDuo, the Trio and (although he believes governments no longer work) has assisted in the construction of Minecraftia.

Bren's mental health largely declined after losing the election, with Bren viewing himself as a villain and planning on blowing up Lavia. Bren has always been a harsh enemy of anyone who he views to be "Pro-Charles" due to what Charles did to the outskirts and him during the Charles Conflict and Lavian Revolution, willing to go to harsh lengths in order to kill someone who is "Pro-Charles"

## Physiology

Bren is a human with light skin, brown hair and black eyes. He usually wears dark cyan sunglasses, a cyan hoodie and adidas pants with white shoes during non-lore events and also wore this during Episode 1.

Bren, after Pixels death wore a formal dark blue suit with golden shoulder pads and a red tie.

After his execution, he has worn a black hoodie with a long brown trench coat (with a red blood stain), black cloak and fingerless black gloves.

## Personality

#### Charles Conflict

During the Charles conflict, Bren was brutally honest and also paranoid, having openly stated he wanted to kill and torture charles. Bren attempted to give Pixel an equal say in the fight against Charles, although often failing to do so. Bren's personality during the Charles Conflict was very different from his personality later on due to him still adjusting to being in a war and being a leader. He usually would avoid personally attacking people, instead hoping to lead others and make them fight the enemy for him.

### Lavian Revolution

During the Lavian Revolution, Bren's paranoia continued although he had began to adjust to being a leader, beginning the nation of Lavia and implementing other people's say into the government. He was not a great fighter, although attempted to fight Charles several times, failing and costing him his first canon life. Bren was a resilient leader, refusing to back down during the Lavian Revolution at all. He initially founded Lavia as a way to contain Charles, which somewhat succeeded with Charles listening to some rules of the Lavian government.

### Returning to Nytt Lavia

Bren, upon returning back to Nytt Lavia became a much nicer and more gentle person after being on a boat for several years and witnessing one of his best friends dying in front of him. He didn't kill any zombies while storming him and Pixel's old base until Pixel told him to. This all changed upon Pixel's death, with Bren being forced back into the leadership role, Bren would decide to hold an election.

Bren would become very desperate after Jude would start winning, not wanting to do another Charles Conflict and would attempt to rig the election and upon being caught would resort to hiring a bounty hunter to kill Jude. Upon this failing, he would accept his fate and would hope he wouldn't die. Bren would then be executed, desperately pleading for help before facing his fate.

### Insanity Arc

Bren would respawn at the outskirts, being angered that he was just killed by Jude and after walking around the outskirts would go insane, with his personality dramatically changing and Bren would convince himself Lavia has failed now that he is no longer ruling and would plan to blow up Lavia.

Bren, fearing abandonment would attempt to manipulate Noof, although this would fail with Bren considering Noof a "traitor". Bren would then encounter Skull and would attempt to get him onto his side although this would fail and Skull would join Noof, with Bren considering both of them as "traitors". He would later find Aegean and Lisenar III/Kaiser, developing a bond with them, forming "TraitorDuo" with Lisenar and forming "The Trio" with Aegean as well as the members of TraitorDuo

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Bren's early life.

### The Outskirts

Bren's story begins when he would arrive in the area now known as the Outskirts with Pixel. The two would begin constructing houses, with Bren constructing the Bren Bridge and building his house on the other side of the river from the rest of the city. He would construct the Bren Mine, which would have a tax of 20% of iron gained from mining in it. This period of his life would be mostly peaceful, with a few little fights and jokes with Pixel.

### Charles Conflict

Bren would invite Charles to him and Pixel's land, although this would be a grand mistake. Charles would attempt to kill Bren's dogs, succeeding in killing most of them, only leaving Jay Inslee who is still alive to this day. Bren would be infuriated by this, with Bren kidnaping Charles' pig, Howard and would put him over fire with assistance from Pixel. What Bren didn't know is that Charles gave Bren a ender chest as a gift for peace, but Bren had already kidnapped Howard and Charles had used the obsidian from a public nether portal to make it. Bren would demand 5 Diamonds for Howard back, with Charles accepting and Bren making Carolean's Prayer (his axe) out of them, which he still has to this day.

Charles would then invite some of his friends onto Bren and Pixel's land, with one of them burning down Pixel's house and the others quickly gathering resources for Charles' movement. Bren and Pixel would know they had to move fast, gathering a few other people from the Outskirts to run away and found a new land with them.

### Lavian Revolution

They would begin the Lavian Revolution, which was actually more of a counter-revolution against Charles. The Revolution would be centered at the now abandoned Fort Lavia. It was made up of Bren, Pixel, Skull and Vertical/Shiwu. They would dig down from the main fort, establishing several floors and tunnels all leading back up into the Fort.

They would hold an election for the leader of the revolution, with Bren and Shiwu running. They would form a deal that whoever lost would be the winners vice president. Shiwu would win, with Bren becoming his vice president. Bren felt like since he started the revolution he should be leader, causing him and Pixel to trap Shiwu into a box and explode it. Both Shiwu and Pixel would lose a life to this and Bren would become the leader of the Revolution. Shiwu would be vengeful for this and would slowly begin going insane. During the next election for the vice president, Charles and his gang would find the fort and would run for President. All members of the revolution would abandon and flood the fort, escaping to the now capital of Lavia, Nytt Lavia.

They would build a tunnel into a nearby mountain, establishing another series of tunnels. They would build walls around the door leading into the tunnels to defend from a possible future invasion from Charles, including a massive lavacast to shoot down from. They would sign the Declaration of Independence in a stone brick room near Bren's room (this room is now flooded). Charles would soon find Nytt Lavia and would attempt several attacks, soon establishing a new country called "Hydroxia" nearby. After these attacks failing, he would attempt to propose peace, giving Pixel some netherite. Bren would then attack Charles and take the rest of his netherite, continuing the war. Charles would become vengeful for this, attempting to kill Bren, which would succeed with him killing Bren and taking one of his lives.

Pixel would then avenge Bren, taking one of Charles' canon lives. Nytt Lavia would then be mostly safe from this point, with Bren and Pixel's cousin, Endboo deciding to expand Lavias territory, taking a boat to the far south and starting a new city under the Republic of Lavia, now known as "Old Lavia"

### Back to Nytt Lavia

Bren would decide to return back to Nytt Lavia, going on a boat for 3 years back to the city. Endboo would die of a sickness while on it, causing Bren to lose one of his closest friends. Bren would return back to Nytt Lavia, mostly upbeat and attempting to ignore the crimes he committed during Old Lavia.

After returning to the capital, he would find Pixel, with him now as President in a new, more developed city still known as Nytt Lavia. They would begin catching up, with Bren informing Pixel of Endboo's death. Pixel would then tell Bren that their former base of tunnels is infested with a disease turning you into a zombie. They would storm the base, finding Bren's old base and several other old memories. They would then head onto the Lavian Hotel, with Pixel handing Bren a ender pearl but slipping off of the roof and breaking his legs. Bren would then quickly hurry down, attempting to help Pixel in any way possible. Pixel would then fall into a trapdoor with Lava in it in the Black House, burning to death. Bren would then automatically become President, deciding to hold an election.

Jude, an ally of Charles would run for President, with Bren also running. Jude would quickly begin winning causing Bren to get desperate, not wanting another Charles Conflict. Bren would attempt to rig the election, with Jude catching him. Bren would then hire a bounty hunter by the name of Noof. Noof's assassination would fail and Bren would accept his fate. Jude would win the election, executing Bren in a pit of Lava. Bren would desperately scream for help, before losing his 2nd canon life.

### Post-Execution

Bren would awake in the Outskirts, attempting to gather resources to defend himself. He would begin going insane as he realises that he was just killed by an ally of Charles. He would begin to believe Lavia was the only successful government and now that it's gone, there's no point in governments and that he should blow up Lavia. He would reveal his vault, which is at the same spot he kidnapped Howard. He would take out Charles' sword, the sword of charles and would begin to head towards Lavia.

On his journeys, he would find the regent of the Aegean Empire, Aegean II and would befriend him. He would then, while at the swamp near Lavia find his old friend, Skull. He would ask skull if he wanted to join Bren in his goal of joining Lavia, which he would deny causing Bren to get mad at him and chase him. He would give up on this and would go back to his mission of going into Lavia to "scout out the area". He would go into the sewers, finding Lisenar III escaping from Lavia and would tell Lisenar that he would befriend him if he ever saw his name around as he needs allies. He then explores lavia before returning back to the outskirts and fishing for a few months.

After a couple months, he would discover a newly-built railway nearby the outskirts while going on a walk, following it and soon finding Minecraftia. He would be surprised by how built up and developed the nation is, talking to the emporer who he had spoke to in the sewers, Lisenar. They would go around Minecraftia and Aegea talking and the two would develop a friendship known as "TraitorDuo". Bren then returns to the outskirts once more, although would soon hear of a meeting between anti-lavians to declare war on Jude which bren would attend, declaring war on Lavia.
