The tournament cannot begin until every spot is filled, and there's enough of a background. Also, it's not really that big a difference between a 4th seat and Lieutenant or even a Captain. At least not in terms of roleplaying ability. In the event that you do not manage to pass the RPCQE in time. I might allow you to use two characters at once, shouldn't be too difficult, considering that this tournament is hardly legit.
