General fixes listed

For this test, Live character data will be copied over to PTR

We've received many reports from players having various issues with logging in. After a week of internal testing and working with some members of the community to gather info we have made some changes to help clean up broken characters that might get left on the server when a login breaks or is canceled before it can finish being set up. We will continue to investigate server logs to monitor future occurrences. If you experience any odd behavior when logging in, or any inability to play, please report it to us on discord!

General Fixes:
- Players should no longer leave nameplates behind when broken.
- Players should no longer be able to take control of a broken character left lingering on the server.
- Players should no longer receive the "already logged in" message caused by a character being stranded on the server in an broken state.
