[@Sketcher] hey hi welcome! Albert seems pretty cool - approved! Feel free to post him in the characters tab.

Now the hard part. Would you rather assume Al has been with us all along, and just pick up with an introductory post on what you've been up to (in game the characters only arrived a few hours ago) -- or would you rather be the late arrival? XD

Either way, later today I'll try to add you to the first ic post.
