How do you conclude that load_user_vars isn't being run? Perhaps it is being run, but @current_user.character is just returning nil (which seems more likely). It's hard to be sure without seeing some more code. Could you Gist [1] your ApplicationController, and the code where the RuntimeError is being raised?
