Wondering how to get the character from a server script so i can fire a remote event AFTER the character has loaded.

#2

use CharacterAdded
you can then run the remote event after it fires

Here, I’ll show you:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    remoteEvent:Fire()
end)
#5

CharacterAdded is a function of Players, whether you use it in server, module, or local.

#6
use this if you want to run the event once 
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
end)
use this if you want to run the event every time you respawn 
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
        RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
    end)
end)

EDIT: fixed code blocks
