Description
Description of issue
Sometimes, character information will be deleted, seemingly at random. Appears limited to IC and OOC information, but I can't be certain because I don't often use the other sections.
Difference between expected and actual behavior
I would generally expect information to be retained, rather than erased.
Steps to reproduce
Uhhh... I'm really not sure. It seems to happen basically at random.
Specific information for locating
Just, go examining people who have IC and other information, and see if it isn't there.
Seems to happen basically at random, not sure if it's on round start or when selecting the character, or randomly part-way through, but the information is also gone in the character's save slot, meaning I need to save this information locally and double-check it's there before getting in to the game.
Length of time in which bug has been known to occur
At least the last few months, but I've also only been playing SS13 for that long.

Research direction
No files or tests are identified. Start by reproducing the loss of IC/OOC character information while checking the character's save slot, round start, character selection, and mid-round state; done means the information remains present across these transitions and in the saved character data.
