A role-playing-game conundrum.

Short version: I and another player missed a gaming session (due to being out sick), and so the GM came up with a thing that involved the other characters going off on a side quest. That side quest lasted more than one session, so K and I created new characters to join the side quest. Now that the side quest has ended, I need to figure out which character to play in the next phase of the game.

( The explanation of the context of the decision got long, so. )
