Joining my server but not as myself

so I've had some problems while setting up crossark, its working now but when I logged in it made me create a new character. I can even go and see my sleeping self on the ground but cant log back into the server as me. I'm admin and tribe leader so its a disaster. any advice would be great

Yes, that was what I did when my character was gone, now its back but I'm just not joining as myself

Ok, so looking at the files through FTP it looks like there isn't one for me, but there is a backup. I'll try to restore that and let you know what happens

I think because I uploaded before the servers were setup properly it considered my character to be outside the cluster. I'm redownloading me and all my critters to the other server before reconnecting them in a cluster.
