OK, E.T. what you say makes sense. I'll give that a try next time I'm by
one of my macs.
Thank you so much for helping me with this. Again, as I said, it's
appreciated.

Subject: Re: Screen Brightness default
Ok, my findings. I could reproduce this if I set brightness to 0%
then rebooted. I think at 0% the "automatically adjust brightness"
checkbox is dimmed.
I then set brightness level to 5% and checked the above option then
rebooted and was still at 5%. There may be a built in safeguard that
will not allow for total blackout at startup.

I echo Ben's last statement here, E.T. I'm not doubting you either, but
can you be a bit more specific?
Steps taken:
1. Either press FN+F1 until you reach 0%, or go to system prefs, display,
interact with the slider, and VO+Down arrow all the way to 0 percent.
Sidenote, I'm doing this with the screen curtain disabled.
2. Reboot the machine. Perform these two steps either with the charger
plugged in or not. It doesn't matter.
Result: The screen returns to brightness level 100% upon successful
reboot once OSX loads.
Expected result: the screen should stay at the percentage set in the
above two steps once rebooted.
I see an option under system prefs when plugged in, or when on battery to
slightly dim the display, but that's not what I'm attempting to do. I'm
literally wishing to keep the exact same brightness level regardless, once
the system fully restarts and is fully booted.
Thank you for trying to help me trouble shoot this; your help is
appreciated.
Chris.

I was able to reproduce Chris's problem. Neither the slider under system
preferences, displays, nor the energy settings does this. Maybe with newer
systems, it sticks. But with older macs, such as my Mid 2010 MacBook, and
Chris's Late 2012 MacBook Pro, it does it identically the same whether you
use the function keys or the system prefs slider. It resets the brightness
to 100%. I also tested this on battery power, and it doesn't do it. The
energy setting would just dim the screen slightly, whereas we're trying to
literally maintain the exact screen brightness percentage after reboot.
We're not doubting you, neither are we trying to make you look incompetent
or anything. We're just stumped.
Thanks,
Ben

Guys,
I really haven’t ever thought about this until now, but when I boot my
macbook, it is defaulting to 100% brightness regardless what I do. If I
set the screen to 0 brightness then either shutdown and later reboot, or
I
just simply restart without fully shutting down, doesn’t matter, as soon
as OSX comes back up, it’s back at 100, making me again have to hold down
FN+F1 until it’s at 0. Don’t get me wrong. This is a very very very
minor annoyance, and it’s nothing I am terribly concerned about, but I’m
just wonderring if there, even with the aid of a 3rd party app, might be
a
way to make it stick.
This is the official, non-beta build of El Capitan on a late 2012 macbook
Pro 13 inch non retina system with a superdrive.
