@Sudden_Demise already posted a way to solve the problem using loadcharacter and I believe it will work. (Well, it uses loadcharacter for other players and a custom character loading function for the spesific player.)

wait a second.

Thank you so much! It works.

I noticed that your code only respawns the player with the custom character. For others, it loads character only once. I made some edits (All of the edits weren’t related to that.). If you want to know why I didn’t use Humanoid.Died:Wait(), see this

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local FAKE_CHAR = ServerStorage['CharName'] -- The character to load, put it in ServerStorage
local RESPAWN_TIME = 2.5 -- How many seconds the player remains dead before they respawn
local ID = 0  --replace 0 with your friends UserID

local diedConns = {}

Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false -- Disable default character loading

local function diedOrLeft(plr, charLoadFunct)
	diedConns[plr]:Disconnect()
	diedConns[plr] = nil
	if charLoadFunct then
		wait(RESPAWN_TIME)
		charLoadFunct(plr)
	end
end

local function loadCustomChar(plr)
	local char = FAKE_CHAR:Clone()
	char.Name = plr.Name
	plr.Character = char
	char.Parent = game.Workspace
	diedConns[plr] = char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		diedOrLeft(plr, loadCustomChar)
	end)
end

local function loadChar(plr)
	plr:LoadCharacter()
	diedConns[plr] = plr.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		diedOrLeft(plr, loadChar)
	end)
end

local function playerAdded(plr)
	if plr.UserId == ID then
		loadCustomChar(plr)
	else loadChar(plr)
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(playerAdded)
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    playerAdded(player)
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(diedOrLeft)

If you didn’t know, you can have multiple friends as once by doing this:

local id = "0", "1", "2", "3"

Just keep adding ,"0" 's at the end of every one.

Yeah, I posted it and didn’t look at the post. I feel like that Sudden_Demise’s method is the best method, now I’ve read it.
