[@Blue Demon] Another alternative would just to have one character. 

You'd only follow one faction, and often just a select few characters. You'd have an easier time being regular. 

Plus the pace now is slower because other people are 'busy' (code name for lazy)

EDIT: Also I realize I riddled my IC post with typos. My retardation can't follow when I'm in a hurry. Won't edit it though, enjoy the typofest.
