Characters Can Leave You 1.0

1.0 Hunger. If you aren't feeding your faction members, they'll talk to other factions and theres a small chance of them abandoning you for food. This applies to non-special recruits (unless, like characters such as Stubs Momuso, he may have a non-special recruit package, which means he may decide to leave). Keep your characters fed!

Future Update: I may mix the personality and squad abandonment together - what if you turn on the Flotsam Ninjas and you have a former Flotsam Ninja in your group? I think they'd probably be torn, and there'd be consequences - as an example.

Note: I had posed the possibility of traitors who can switch to other factions mid conflict - this is not possible due to how the dialogue packages work (they only contain "I See Enemy Player," which prevents the direct addition of player reactions to enemy NPC's). To try and do the reverse would only add an enemy to your squad, which is the opposite of the desired effect, since there is an effect called, "Join Fast," which adds an NPC to your squad (or other squads in this case).

What is possible is a personality tag on a character who will at some point leave your squad randomly. I have not decided whether this is ideal - but it does make you go through a probation phase where the character receives offers from other factions. Let me know your opinion on that.
