I'll be getting my first post up tonight. I think I'm just gonna have Liam come in as someone looking to join; have him start off in the lower echelons.

I think I should do something similar, but I don't think she'd be welcome initially if she did things like that. The whole...walking in business.

I'm just gonna point out here that there are two characters already waiting in the wings for an IC introduction, both of whom have been waiting since the last version of this game (and therefore get first dibs!). While nothing stops you waiting for your introduction, introducing lots of characters all at once with the due levels of caution from the Ashes will get repetitive and clunky and, frankly, be quite out of character for the Ashes.

If you want to hold onto your characters until it's basically 'their turn', that would be fine, but, given how unpredictable any RP's pace is, we can't actually guarantee when that might be.

If you're keen to jump in now, I would just recommend being legit members from the off.

Well, I certainly had no intention of just throwing him in right this moment; not with a mission about to get underway. I've no issue with waiting until Mia has been extracted. But, all due respect, I feel that there has to be some room to get Liam's (and Isabel's) intro in before bringing Larry in, particularly being that Jig already has a character actively engaged in the story.

I can work with him being out on a solo mission. Maybe, if @Feisty-Pants is leaving Isabel's history thus far off as still looking for her allegiance (and is fine with this approach), Liam could be out on a job to bring her in? I'm sure the Ashes would have the right connections to have intel on her arrival in Britain.

If that works as a way to get them in.

I would be fine with that, if you and @Feisty-Pants want to work something out to run alongside the initial missions and get your characters integrated into the RP first while everyone else is in Bristol/McCarthy Manor.

@Feisty-Pants McH is a 'her', by the way

@McHaggis
@Wayward

So what's the plan then, Wayward? How can I help expedite this process? Only linking McH to keep her in on the loop as to what we're up to.

If you would prefer to just meet the team in Bristol, then I'll run with that as well, so long as that is a plan to run with at all. I just wasn't sure if you had intended for your character to already be with the Ashes.

Would it be ideal to arrive as the Ashes are assembling in Bristol? Or is there anticipated room to say that they (or at least Liam, since I don't want to drag Feisty along if they don't want to be) can arrive in the clutch as back up or nearer to secure the final escape at the end of the mission?

Up to you either way, I'm flexible. ^^

Have you spoken to McH about how your characters know where the Ashes/David will be or how they won't assume your characters are enemies rather than allies and end up fighting them?

Those things really should be cleared up before we run into this.
