Select character at start (by using vaiable)

Would be incredibly helpful if there was a way to set the state of the character to a variable instead of having to create multiple triggers on every slide. This approach becomes very cumbersome and hard to maintain. 

An ideal solution would be something like this:

Set state of Character = variable when timeline starts

The variable would be what the user selected at the onset of the course. This also removes any dependencies, e.g. if any of the states of the character asset are added or removed. Nothing else would need to be updated in the project because everything is tied to the variable that the user selected.
