 I'm not one hundred percent sure what either of you believe I wanted 
but I will do my best to explain =)

The first case prints a list of 4 options that you may choose to 
perform. You can only choose one and the corresponding case should be 
the only one that is performed. The entire system wasn't fully in place 
yet but the only time you would be back at the first menu is if you 
chose to load a character and were unable to for whatever reason. The 
"character creation" System would step through each case 1 at a time but 
repeat itself if conditions for progressing to the next step were not 
met. As it is written it works perfectly(as far as I can tell) when put 
into a startUp() method and placed inside a loop. The loop breaks when 
case 4 conditions are met.
