This Mod is still being developed and tested. It has the ability to delete characters if you turn the option on in the config.
Use the Mod on your own risk. I will not be able to restore ANY characters for you.
Look into the RespawnPatch if you want to see the source code of the deletion.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
