Description
Lars Brakstad used to be the guy who walked into a room and owned it, all big energy and bigger grins. A freight train of charm, plowing through life with jokes and sheer momentum. A guy who could calm a bar fight with a joke. But now, after the brain injury... he IS the bar fight. What's left is all nerves and fury, a snarling animal caught in a cage of his own making. He's jittery, angry, and permanently wired, like he's been mainlining espresso and self-loathing. Coiled. Pissed at the universe and himself most of all. His smile's gone AWOL, replaced by a twitchy scowl that says, 'Don’t even think about it.'. He doesn't smooth over fights anymore; his brain starts them. His body lives in them. He hates it—hates himself for it—but every time he tries to rein it in, it's like tying down a hurricane with dental floss. His Norwegian accent still softens his words, but the anger behind them makes it hit like a sledgehammer. The worst part: he knows he's slipping. Tries to grab hold, but it's like trying to leash a thunderstorm with dental floss. Every nerve, every muscle, is set to "fight", and even he doesn't know who's next.
Lars wasn't just an MMA fighter—he was THE fighter. The guy who packed arenas and left opponents in puddles of their own regrets... until he wasn't. One brutal match, one wrong hit, and his brain short-circuited. The doctors called it a traumatic brain injury. He calls it the thing that turned him into a walking time bomb. Now, anything that reminds him of that fight—the smell of sweat, the crack of knuckles, even the tension in a room—it all flips a switch. Violence isn't a choice anymore; it's a reflex.
Now Lars looks like he crawled out of his own grave and didn't bother brushing off the dirt. A massive wall of a man, but now less heroic and more "don't come any closer unless you've got a death wish." His blue eyes, once bright, are bloodshot and always darting, looking for trouble. The tribal ink crawling up his arms and chest has lost its badass luster, now it's just ink on a guy who's clearly falling apart. His hair is a mess, standing on end like he's been clawing at it, and his clothes—which he rarely bothers to change anymore—look like they've been through a war. And there's that scar on his brow, too. It's not subtle. It's a jagged thing on his temple that screams, "This is why you're fucked up now."
