First of all, please don’t bump questions that are unanswered for less than 4 days.
Now to your problem:
So if i understood you correctly, you spawn your Custom Character and it isn’t animated. The default character is the Blue one which is available in the First and Third Person Project or? What is the Owen-Example BP? Did you migrated all the needed assets with it? Did you check if the Animation BP is working and if it is set inside the Default Values of the Mesh inside your Custom Character BP?
Please show us some pictures of the Animation BP you are using for this Character. (:
