I make any decision about faction for IC reasons, so I have to answer twice for two different characters:
1/ Mioette was brought up as a typical Tryker; her family told her the stories about Jena and Tryton, and she accepted the Karavan as being servants of Jena. Though as any freedom-loving Tryker would, she didnt approve of Karavan interference. ("...keep it under your bonnet but some say that Elias is none other than the husband of Jena, which makes him the holy Father, but don't mention it to the Karavan!", also "2486: Karavan and Matis pressurize Tryker council to push Kami alters away from residential zones.", "2496: Guild of Elias, portrayed as a sect against the church of Jena, is banned by Karavan.", "2498: Passage through Prime Roots made difficult by Karavan surveillance." and "2506: Nimby steps in line with Matis initiatives to reinforce measures ensuring adherence to Karavan teachings."...).
She never had any belief in the Kami, though the lore makes it plain that both the Corsairs and Fyros are both good friends of Trykers, yet both are allied to the Kami. So she sees no threat from that quarter.
So when we hear that Jena wants to wipe out the Kami because Ma-Duk is ill and will need to devour homin souls in some way as a result, Mioette looks around for some evidence, and finds none. This makes it look far more like a excuse by the Karavan to increase their power over hominkind, than a genuine grevance. It is not in Tryker interests to try and wipe out an entire race to support a power grab by someone else. But if Jena turns up at some point in the future and provides proof that Ma Duk IS a threat to homins, then Mio will fight on their side.
- What does it add to your RP stance ?
It is the only possible route I could take this character.
- How come you feel like you can only go this way ?
Because it is, unless I go against core Tryker values and interests.
- Had the lore have any impact on your decision ?
My decision was based entirely on the lore.
2/ Slythe was always intended to be cynical where gods or politics are concerned, and was always going to choose the easiest or most profitable route. At this time there appears to be little reason for him to choose to follow either faction, but if he does it would be reluctantly. If asked, he would recommend to anyone that they side with the faction most likely to win, or if that isn't acceptable, to leave the new lands altogether.
- What does it add to your RP stance ?
It is a major part of this characters RP stance, but I can't say it "adds" anything at all.
- How come you feel like you can only go this way ?
This character was always intended to be neutral.
- Had the lore have any impact on your decision ?
Nothing at all for this character, other than the lore about Fyros tending towards skepticism and being a practical, down to earth type of people.

I disagree with this RP stance. Just because the Kami and Karavan operate a particularly efficient ambulance service doesn't mean that NPCs arent being permanently killed during the fighting, nor that hitting your opponent during a battle doesn't hurt them, nor in fact that you arent TRYING to kill and hurt them.
