This is for an RP, not a story, but this is an awesome community and I was hoping someone could help me with this character. He is, tentatively, a 17-year-old male who lives with his grandfather and a year or two ago had the bad luck of contracting an arbovirus, which led to encephalitis, which led to some brain damage.
I want him to have a hard time forming new memories without getting rid of that completely -- like a mild sort of anterograde amnesia -- but I'm not sure if what I have in mind is reasonable.

If this doesn't work at all, it's not a huge deal, but I'm hopeful... Sorry for so many questions!
