Of course :) The question is, are you having fun? If you are then that's what counts :)<br/><br/>You can jump in anytime and play out your character if it's on its own doing stuff individually. Like for example doing research etc like you've already done. You don't need to wait for anyone else since that part doesn't depend on other characters. Look at what other characters are up to and see if your character can interact with them and if you feel it will add to the story jump right in :) Don't walk around on egg shells playful - have fun! :)
