Tell us a little about yourself and the content you create.
Hey guys, I’m Brotherhood a creator based in New Zealand!! I grew up playing games with dad and brother and found Destiny after hearing some friends talk about it at school. I’ve been a massive Destiny fan since the Beta for Destiny 1 and have played ever since. I focus on providing help for harder end game content like raids, especially when a new raid is released. Otherwise, you can find me having a laugh with friends on stream and just being a goofball.
Why do you choose to support and fundraise for the Bungie Foundation?
I choose to support the foundation because I believe my community has the same love and passion for the cause and can help make a positive change for those who need it the most. Knowing our community is making an amazing change in the world is an awesome feeling, so proud of this community and the things we can achieve with a bit of positivity and love
What does being a Lightkeeper mean to you?
Being a Lightkeeper to me means to take initiative to help make a change and brighten someone’s day by providing them with the entertainment we are fortunate to have. This community I have formed has shown that we can make a difference for those in need and seeing everyone smile shows that all this hard work we do is paying off and I’ll happily do this over and over again to help put a smile on someone’s face. I’m beyond proud to be a Lightkeeper, it’s something I will forever hold close to me.
Why do you think the Bungie Foundation’s mission resonates so strongly with the Destiny community?
I think it resonates strongly with the Destiny community because we are all kids at heart and many know what it’s like to face hard times in life. Destiny is all about hope and has always been a platform to help others and we are carrying that from in game to the real world. Going from helping New Lights in game to helping Little Lights in real life as well. As a creator who focuses on helping people in game, it’s amazing to have the ability to carry that into the real world and share a bit of that Destiny hope with the rest of the world to help brighten someone’s day!
If you could add one chaos modifier to this year’s tourney, what would it be?
I’ve always been a massive fan of cursed modifiers like inverted aim or a low/high sensitivity. So, if I had the ability to make everyone do one of those I would 100% make them do inverted aim it makes for some amazing content watching creators try find their way around a map with an inverted aim.
How are you feeling heading into this year’s tournament?
I feel pretty good, Team Exiles have been doing practice together here and there. It’s been a while since I have played PvP but it feels amazing to be back and I’m ready to take on Team Stranger Danger and give them my all. The team is in good spirits and excitement is high so we are excited to get going and will bring our all!!
What's your favorite Destiny gaming moment?
It’s so hard to pick just one after 10+ years of Destiny. One that always stands out to me is meeting some of my first friends in the game through the tower in Destiny 1 and clearing my first Nightfall. Completing my first day one raid back in Destiny 1 as well. Moments where I can help people achieve their first clear for a raid or ever just messing around with friends will always make amazing moments in the game.
What keeps you coming back to Destiny and its community year after year?
The friendship I’ve made and this amazing community I’ve built along with having something to grind whether it be weapon rolls, DLC prep or even just helps. Seeing how much of an amazing community we have makes returning easy. This community will always keep me returning as we all continue to make fun memories together and in some cases life long friendships.
Is there a particular focus of the Bungie Foundation’s work that you feel especially close to or passionate about?
Kids are bundles of joy and if we can to our part to help make a Little Lights’ day I will do whatever I can to help. We were all kids once and as a kid that grew up around video games, having the ability to help brighten someone’s day through gaming is such an amazing opportunity and I’ll do it over and over again. Bungie Foundation and our communities will always surprise me with how loving and caring they are for this cause as all our communities rally together to help the Little Lights.
Any advice for someone thinking about joining a future fundraising campaign like Bungie Day?
Genuinely just be yourself and have fun. Celebrate every donation and milestone you reach, they all matter regardless of the amount. At the end of the day, it goes to an amazing cause and every little bit helps. Remember to always be proud of what you are doing as well as showing the community the love you have for it and it will be shown back. Don’t give up and keep grinding for the Little Lights.
