Alien RPG character sheet dice rolls spitting out gibberish

Hi friends! My Alien RPG Free League sheets have hit strange issue. Rolling from the sheets worked normally while I was building the game, but since I assigned the sheets to players, they get a screen full of code when they roll anything.  The code in white text is what you get normally. The TypeError is what happens if you try to Push. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help y'all can provide!

My guess is that the character name is breaking the roll.  Specifically the square brackets. Some mathematical/or characters signifact to roll20 macro syntax can cause problems.

That seems to have done the trick! Thanks friend, you saved game night! (I swear they were just regular brackets!)

These "special" characters within character names has been a pain point for some roll20 sheets depending on how the sheet handles/processes the roll.  I've resorted to checking for and warning (red border and exclamation or similar) when a character name includes something that may break the roll. example from the Forbidden Lands sheet; I wish the vtt would check and/or prevent these characters in the character_name just to help prevent these types of errors.
