How to change your Terraria character name
Changing your character's name in Terraria isn't as straightforward as clicking an option in the game itself, sadly. You've gotta dive into the game files a bit. First, make sure your game isn't running. Then, head to your Terraria's 'Players' folder, which is usually found in Documents\My Games\Terraria. Your character's file will be here, named something like 'CharacterName.plr'. You'll need to use a third-party program to edit this file, like Terraria's Inventory Editor (TEdit). Open your character file in TEdit, and you should see the option to change your character's name. Remember to save and back up your original file before fiddling around!
