That... actually brings up a question! Can Plot-PCs become Earth-PCs or Colony-PCs at some later point? Mostly for that reason in point one?
But more specifically, I'm thinking of an NPC that's a face for one faction, possibly as a military commander of some kind, or maybe CIC or a similar function. So a character that's frequently interacted with (like the pizza-delivery-guy Fry in the example ideas) but doesn't have freedom of action to actually DO stuff that often, not unlike your average Gundam bridge bunny. Is that a little more active than the Plot-PC concept calls for? I do still have a dozen ideas for a Protag-PC, so if the answer is yes, that's fine too.
