If you bring a character into the field of battle and it's special ability activates and then this character switches with another character and their ability activates and they band in the first character does the First characters ability activate for a second time?

No, unless the first character had paid a visit to the deck or hand in between.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

So once a character enters battle that turn it can't reactivate it special ability a second time?

What about side battles do they get to reactivate then?

Unique Characters can only enter the field of battle once per turn.  (See REG -> Add to Battle (or Band) -> Special Conditions)

Generic Characters can enter battle multiple times per turn.  (See REG -> Glossary -> Generic Cards)

I don't see anything that limits SA activation to once per turn (unless the SA itself says that).

I'm not sure where it'd be in the REG (not under generic or unique for sure, not really the thrust of that rule), but that's how I've always played it, seen it played, and iirc heard it explained. Could be another one of those things like cascade negating being different for CBI stuff that isn't actually in the rules anywhere.
