I'm not currently at a computer that has PSO installed, so I cannot log in to check my ID, but I believe Cyane has it right. And I am, in fact, absolutely certain I did not recreate the character.
I'm sorry about this.... I just really don't want to lose all that time and gear I had.
My IF alone cost me like $50. XD
And yes, slot four (4) is correct.
Anyway, thanks for the help guys. I hope we can get this all sorted out!
EDIT: Yeah, I derped, my GC# is in my contact information under my picture! Hahaha.
So yeah, 42101571 is correct.
