Thanks very much. Do you mind clarifying what you mean here -- I fully understand this will be two itineraries (e.g. On the outbound I'll have to pick up my bags at ORD and then check-in and go through security anew, and same thing coming in.) Of course, I hope things will work out, but would AA really connect me if I got mis-connected, even if I didn't have an AA ticket? [Sounds incredulous] thanks!
First of all, you might not have to claim your bags at ORD on the outbound. When checking in at RDU, show the AA agent the printout of your ORD-NRT-HKG ticket, and you might be able to have your baggage checked through to HKG.
I meant to write that AA will
protect you in the event of a mis-connect. But the import is the same. See here for more details of AA's protection policy when traveling on oneworld airlines on separate tickets (as mentioned by
swag):

You might want to print a copy of that policy, and take it with you.
