Okay, I think what I'm going to do here is find one additional player to fill the role of Sara's friend from her university (since I don't think any of you really want to change your existing characters very much).  I figure Sara and her friend will pick up Catherine's newbie character at the announcement.  Sessha and Akira's characters can be part of the group from Sara's university or they can join the group later in the game.<br/><br/>I'm also thinking of resurrecting my other SAO RPG character Robin/Hiroko as a second character, but I plan for her to join the group later on, not right off the bat.  BTW I imagine I'm probably the only person who is considering playing two characters, but if anyone else is interested in doing that please let me know.  It might be an interesting way to expand the group without getting too many players involved.
