[@Raddum] well you can alter backstory just figure should start in a similar situation but i mean she could just come across the stranded protag and save him maybe he gets caught in a shitty situation like oh surrounded by a bunch of shadows with no escape. I figure i can get a few people started in the same time as i start the story unless people want to join the party later that can be an option hell this protag could leave metaverse perfectly fine the first time maybe getting spied on by your character and jumped beacuse he seems useful? whichever scenario you prefer im flexible.
