Could it be an issue with the icon_state var?

first i would advice making an icon state input as well and make sure that your AllCharacters are defined as a list ie var/AllCharacters = list()
when i tried yours it did not work while i used a normal varible for allcharacters but after that it worked

In response to AbdulH
i got a list which is
var/list/AllCharacters=typesof(/obj/Character)-/obj/Characters

and i fill it with
mob/proc/PoupulateChars()
    for(var/v in AllCharacters)
       AllCharacters-=v
       AllCharacters+=new v
