Character Creation:

I'm not sure if that's in Al's skillset, perhaps one for Ronda or Val? He may be ex-Guard, but he prefers not to mess with too much weird technology, and a murder servitor definitely is in his book. But he could certainly be coming down with them, even if just to keep an eye on the investment.

Another options is for you to be a slave in the Dark Eldar Camp or possibly someone who used to be on the knight and was put in stasis when it shit down and will be woken when the group comes.

Ah, I'd see myself as already part of the crew (especially since I think the ship's crew hasn't been entirely defined yet). I have an introduction post all ready to go: is it alright if I effectively arrive on the tail end of the group, or do you want to wait for another moment to introduce Alessander?

Go ahead an introduce yourself when you get back.

Welcome to the game Colonel.
