CharacterAppearanceLoaded not running when character loads in but when character dies?

Hello! I've been practicing all night now and have been stuck on this one issue. When the player loads in I expect the function to run. Except that's not the case. Ive been trying for a few hours can seem to get a lead...

Code in question

        player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
        print("Joined")
        local humanoid = character.Humanoid
            humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyDepthScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
            humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyHeightScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
            humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyWidthScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
            humanoid:WaitForChild("HeadScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 * (strength.Value / 250)

            strength:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
                humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyDepthScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
                humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyHeightScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
                humanoid:WaitForChild("BodyWidthScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
                humanoid:WaitForChild("HeadScale").Value = .5 + (strength.Value / 250)
                humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 * (strength.Value / 250)
            end)
        end)
