Moving character to multiplayer?

[Prydonian]

I’m afraid this may have been discussed a million times… I searched, though, and couldn’t find it!  Please forgive me if this is redundant.  
 

Is there a reliable way to move the character I use when I play alone into a multiplayer game hosted by a friend?

 

I ask because every time I try to join his server I end up as a random woman with pitch-black skin and glowing white eyes.  She’s constantly being mistaken for a zombie.    I’d really like to import my non-dark-elf guy!

If your friend's dedicated server has "Persistent Profile" turned on, no.

 

If they don't have Persistent Profile turned on, you can go to Options/Player Profile, and change your character.

 

You probably got randomly assigned to Roxy:

 

Or Grace

Thank you so much!  Oh, no, I’m not talking about a Black person, this is a woman with skin like obsidian.  Like the color picker was dragged all the way to the lower left-hand corner.  I suspect that’s the case with all the attributes, that somehow this bug creates an avatar with all attributes set to one extreme of their scale.
 

So, turning off persistent profiles will allow me to choose an avatar on my machine mid-game?

Glad it worked out for you. Sorry went a bit offline for a week because of a heavy work load.
