One of my secondary characters is an Elezen, and while he stayed behind (he was too young to participate in the battle of Cartenau, or be an adventurer entirely), his older brother was brought into the future. So I'm going to RP him not remembering his brother's face or name. He is however aware of having had an older brother, and remembers his presence in the past, like words he may have said or things he may have done. He just can't come up with who he was exactly.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
