How to fix a corrupted character in Terraria
First up, try restoring a previous save if you've got backups. Terraria automatically backs up characters and worlds now and then. Look in the Terraria folders in your 'My Documents/My Games' directory for anything with '.bak'. If you find a backup, just remove the '.bak' extension and replace the corrupt file. Magic!

Gonna hit you with a truth bomb鈥攕ometimes you just gotta let go. If fixes don't work and you've lost a character, treat it as a hard lesson in backup importance. Start anew, build something even better, and remember to back up your saves regularly!
No backups? No problem. There's a tool called 'Terraria Save Editor' that can sometimes fix corrupt characters鈥攐r at least let you salvage some of their gear. It's a bit like playing surgeon with your save files, so proceed with caution and always make backups before you start fiddling.
