Negative, soldier. That wont work, and here's why.
Here's what I figured out. This "load character", which refers to the character that will be loaded when the option is selected when going into a game, is made everytime your client connects to another. So, for example, if I were to host a game, my "load character" would not change no matter how many times I hosted it. However, if I were to join a server and used either a character already in the save game or created a new one, it would then take the place of my current "load character." The instant the server loads the game, this "load character" slot is replaced with what you chose to play with, be it a level 20 character existing in the saved game or a brand new one you just created. Therefore, in order to play a single player character on a multiplayer game, you must manipulate this "load character" slot. Here's how I did it.
I made my character and saved it to a single player save game. Then I transferred the save file to another computer and had that computer host the saved game. When I connected to the computer, I chose the single player character I had created and had the server computer create a brand new character. I saved the game for good measure, but after some playing around I dont think it was necessary. Because I had chosen the pre-made character and was not acting as the host of the game, that character took its place in my "load character" slot. After that, it was just a matter of having the other computer host our old saved game and me choosing to load up my "load character" instead of the one that was saved in the game (which was bunk because I messed up his classes).
A bit confusing, but all the gray is taken out after comprehension. Hope this ends up helping someone else, because I spent a long time with trying everything I could think of until I did this. I just hope someone doesn't tell me theres an easier way to do it, but after trying all that I had I would not think so.
