Uh, I think there were some miscounts...

126- We Don't Want Him: The PC materializes from a different plane (preferably a Lower Plane), having been kicked out by the Demon Lords for being unbearable/too evil

127- Drill Sargent: A mad scientist/PC arrives from the underdark in a drill device.

You can of course reverse this in order to introduce a new gooder-than-Good PC

128. *Pop!* (New character X appears.)
Old Character Y: Huh? Why are you here?
New Character X: I have no idea. I was fighting a lich when something in a box of darkness said I have to ESCAPE!

129. DM: OK, George here has a new character almost completely finished. The only thing missing is that he and the other players need to decide how they know him, and why he followed them and is joining them now, and then we can start the game.

You mean this guy?

131: The new P.C was stalking the party the entire time in order to get their autograph. Acutally JOINING them on their adventures is just bonus.

132: You beat the crap outta that orc and now he's your friend! THAT'S THE SHONEN WAY!
