With the way it's set up catching up is not necessary, as each arc is supposed to be able to stand alone, and start off with a recap of the latest arc. Although, at the moment it's not much to catch up on, and it gives some nice insight in the characters, so it also really won't harm ya, haha. I'm very curious to read your character then. I'm opening Sign-Ups today, so that people can start immediately once Arc 2 starts.
