I think it's an interesting idea.

My OCs, for the most part, pay no heed to the stereotypes. Frequently I have Royals and Rebels rooming together (such as Orhan and Desi). I do sometimes use personality as basis - for example, Isidore is a Rebel because he is a person who values freedom. Many of my Rebels (such as Viktor Eisenofen) have interests that have nothing to do with their story and would rather follow their heart.

I mean, I can see why people support the Rebels, but sometimes their bashing of Royals gets out of hand. I don't think that alignment should completely influence a character's personality - I have Rebel OCs who are jerks (Simone Mouton, Thea Overfladisk).

So far, the only Royal OCs I have who are genuinely nasty are Calliope Riquet and Guillaume Inconstant. Calliope is happy with her destiny since it involves her getting a happily ever after, while Guillaume views Royal as a status symbol and serves as a foil to Rebel Simon Paisible.

But overall, I agree with Zena. My OCs' labels are mostly there for labeling convenience.
