How do I change my character to the one I want? If you select 'random' you will obviously not get the one you want. Instead you should click 'custom' which will spawn you with the character you actually want to be. But how do you change which character that will be. I will list the steps here. Unfortunately your character has to die to make this work. Here are the steps: 

1) Join the server as normal.
2) Your current character must die via F11 or any other way.
3) When it says 'You are dead' hit escape.
4) Click 'Exit'
    You will still be in-game but at the lobby screen.
6) Click the right arrow arrow as if to join a new server and select a new character. It should show you a freshie character (doesn't matter which one).
7) Click 'Customize Character'.
8) Select the character you want from the CHARACTER menu on the top left.
9) Click SAVE.
10) Click PLAY.
11) You will then have to find the server in the FAVORITES tab at the top.
12) Click the server to highlight it in red. Then click PLAY.
    You will spawn as a freshie with the character you want.
