Alright I can swap over his focus on the business world, and change it so that he's more personally invested in making better medicine than he would be trying to change the overall corporation's business practices. So that would give him a more solid focus on being there for purposes than just being a transfer student because his father is carting him around. The part with his father being closely associated with the hospital tech was just a throw in the air. I wasn't trying to heavily influence the plot or what have you. I also don't have an issue with taking the pocket knife away from Allen. He's been taught to take care of himself in a basic hand to hand fight. He's no judo master, he's not a master at anything in fact he just knows how to fight passably so removing the knife is more just a formality. For the sake of being fair and getting rid of an 'gary stu' qualities as your co-gm put it I'm willing to even reduce Allen to just spewing out his own beliefs and not making him intelligent. He can be have been pandered to simply be the heir to his company, and not much else. However I fear that would just leave him saying dumb stuff without a point like saying 'good guys are good, and bad people are bad.' I can also put in his confidence issues which I failed on my own part to put into the personality section. [@DruSM157]
