Your preferences are your own but trauma doesn't necessary mean deeper character. Brian has his own internal conflict, which is intrinsically tied with his ambitions for the world. They are both interesting characters in their own ways. Ian needs someone to open up his world while Brian is the one opening up the world for Sol. I bet the parallels are intentional. Just because Brian isn't traumatized doesn't mean he doesn't have strong depth to his character.

Girly it's insulting that you refer to the depth of Ian character that I was describing as just "trauma" and insinuate that this is what I like about him. Brian even though he shares the same soul as Ian is no where as complex of a character as Ian. He is a good person that stands up to bad ppl and that's about it. Ian situation is way less black and white, and for you to say that I just like his "trauma" as if this was some kind of trauma porn situation is super narrow minded.
i think we are nearing the end of the backstory. Now I can say with full chest that i do prefer Ian character, he has more depth and internal conflict that make him that much interesting, I like Brian but he is too perfect. Ian has the weight of his childhood, his sense of duty and feelings for sol are constantly clashing, he has the the guilt of treason on his shoulders and feels indebted for the man that caused all his suffering. cant wait for us to go back to him
