Well first of all, i still see there is alot of people missing their characters online. This is because they've either keept trying going online while the cloud servers are down, or you made a new character over your current one.
So..
When you notice that it asks to do tutorial, quit the game asap and check if your character still exists here: socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/<username> ... replace <username> with your own username.
If the character exists here, do not play online. Just wait untill cloud servers gets back up, and your character will be there waiting for you..
Do not do the tutorial, that it asks you to.. If you "accidently" clicked do the tutorial, quit the game asap.
Rockstar said this plenty of times, yet i see serval replies about it that they're loosing characters.. You will not loose your character, in any-way if you do what i do. I've never lost it, after the 1.02 update.
