[@Darkraven] Take your time! Worst case scenario, you'd just join in late. The group of PCs won't be locked in, I imagine.

As for Sofre, my little brain gets confuzzled when there are two people talking in the same post, at least until I get to know the characters. So I'd say for now that Pedre and Sofre get separated in the beginning, perhaps to reunite later in some way or another. At that point, if my foggy ideas come true, a bit of joint control would probably make sense.

Controlling other people's characters is not my favorite thing, usually! But I will drop names and make threats, oh yes . . .
