Okay, so I open Spiral Knights and am met with the introduction. I skip it and discover that there is no way for me to get to the choice of three characters, though I only have one, which I have been using for years. I am seriously annoyed by whatever the hell has gone wrong here, but my achievements on steam and playing hours are still showing up. Does this mean that I have lost my only character for good? Is there any way for me to get it back?

Please help me out here guys, I really don't want to have to start out all over again :(
