[Diaspora] Is there an elegant way to add characters once a campaign has started?

[Jeffrey Hosmer]

When it happens to me, I usually just insist that they have at least one
aspect relating to another character at the table.  If they're new to FATE,
I also suggest they leave some skills and aspects blank to fill in as they
go along.  It'll be a little bumpy at first, but with the help of the other
players you should be able to integrate them soon enough.  Just be flexible.
