Making a "permanent" starter character

Maybe add a debounce so character added doesn’t fire when you replace their character

There may need to be some experimentation to do, maybe it only needs to run the event once just as a test since like you said, you want the characters to be changed when a player wants the change their character, so maybe do like

local changedchar = false

local function changeCharacter(player)
	local search = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild(player.CharacterValue.Value):Clone() --Find the custom character
	if search and player.Character ~= search and not changedchar then --If the custom character exists and character is not custom character
		changedchar = true
		search.Parent = workspace
		player.Character:Destroy()
		player.Character = search --Change it
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") --Changed to FindFirstChildOfClass incase your humanoid is named differently
	end
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) --When played rjoins
	local CharacterValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
	CharacterValue.Value = "None"
	CharacterValue.Name = "CharacterValue" --Create a value in it
	CharacterValue.Parent = player
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) --When the player spawns/respawns
		changeCharacter(player) --change it back.
	end)
end)

This is so the event only gets ran once

I’ll try to do fix this, thank you.
