I think it's a bit weird, but we can make it work... Carlos is a Quick Gadgeteer with a Wildcard Skill for Artifice, so I guess it would be hard to step on his toes if he's dealing with building anything.

If Darklim thinks he'll be happy playing his character next to mine, I won't object. Maybe he's finally found someone who will give him a job!

I did make an oversight when building the character... I forgot to take Spanish! Can I add a disad or trim something to wiggle that in? I should make his native language Spanish and take English as a learned language.

I was also thinking of adding an Equipment Bond with his Sig Gear Tool Belt.

Well, if they want to change it, they have that right. They seem to have different personalities and tendencies that seem compatible.

Concerning Spanish; wiggle a bit. Languages may or may not turn up in the campaign, depending on whether you guys travel, so Spanish may be necessary.

The motivation is more thematic than potentially utility.

I'll figure it out, I won't change anything that's been established in his intro scene.

OK, and I'll just jot notes on his sheet.

Supersensitive is a disadvantage for the Telepathically sensitive... I doubt it is applicable in this game...

The other stuff looks valid, but flashback will more than likely be fatal if it occurs with zombies around if you want my advice....

Yes, two things. First of all, I recommend you ditch amnesia because that sucks for everyone involved. Also, xenophylia is not an appropriate disadvantage, as it will never come into effect. You also don't have any skills that are useful in this campaign. Finally, what's his backstory? Even if he doesn't remember, he had to come from somewhere. Also, status will be useless after the appocolypse. I'm not quite sure what your character concept is, but this character may need a complete transformation.

Asher's amnesia should only be partial at most, allowing for a secret, perhaps (and a few unspent points) migraines coupled with that problem would work, and low pain threshold instead of supersenitive, the quirk 'broad minded' would work instead of xenophilia, and stubborn could go with indomitable. 25pts of debt is immense, and while the status would fit a department chair at a university, or a blend between aboriginal tribal status and being a professor, you could be a respected scholar and activist (rep +2, for about 5pts) but a Graduate Assistant, (status 0, struggling). If you were drugged and dumped, or smashed in the head, your enemy might be more nefarious, and a quirk of paranoia might suit to indicate a recent discovery of a pharmaceutical conspiracy or the like.
