Put the starter characters in a folder in ReplicatedStorage, named 1 for the first, 2 for the second, etc then put a LocalScript under StarterPlayerScripts that says

local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local folder = repStorage:WaitForChild("Put your folder name here")
local randChar = math.random(1, #folder:GetChildren())

local charPicked = folder:FindFirstChild(randChar):Clone()
charPicked.Parent = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
charPicked.Name = "StarterCharacter"

Disclaimer: I haven’t tested the script yet, but it should work.
Remember to put the name of the folder over Put your folder name here in line 2

I tested the script with the output window; Nothing showed up.
I opened the StarterPlayer Folder, everything was fine and the startercharacter was there, and i tried moving the localscript from StarterPlayerScripts to StarterCharacterScripts and nothing really happened.

Oh guys i figured it out for y’all

Easiest way to do it:

1. Create Folder in ServerStorage called StarterCharacters
2. Put your characters in this folder
3. Make sure to name them from 1 to for example 10 so 1 2 3 etc.
4. Create Script in ServerScriptService called randomizeCharacter
5. Paste it into the script:

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local StarterCharacters = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("StarterCharacters")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    
    local randomCharacterNumber = math.random(1, #StarterCharacters:GetChildren())
    local randomCharacter = StarterCharacters[randomCharacterNumber]
    
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

        Humanoid:ApplyDescription(randomCharacter.Humanoid.HumanoidDescription)

        for _, accessory in pairs(randomCharacter:GetChildren()) do
            if accessory:IsA("Accessory") then
                accessory:Clone().Parent = character
            end
        end
        
    end)
end)

6. Enjoy
