I had been meaning to post this question for a while!
What's your character's relationship with NPCs?
Do they have friends? Dates? A well-kept list of every old lady they've ever saved from certain doom? Do fans ever come across them and ask for an autograph? Do they keep a public image with television interviews and the like? Did they once hold an NPCt's wife's hand in acid? AT A PARTY? Or do they basically hide away in their own import world?

Alastair works at StarkTech, and Stark employs NPCs, so Alastair is out and about among the population every day. It took until the truth-telling plot for any of his coworkers to realize he was actually an import, when he came out and blurted it out to one of the secretaries. Prior to that they just thought him an exceptionally smart young man who got along really well with the actual imports. He really doesn't like the people he works with and around, but not because they're locals or anything. Just because they're not his peer group. And the secretaries really fail at their transparent attempts to be his fag hags. Before he and Kiryu started seeing each other, Alastair would let guys hit on him all the time at clubs, but he never went out with any of them. He's got a hell of an ego and still, always, considers himself better than them most days.
That's about it, though, because he tends to spend most of his downtime these days at home with the rest of Hell Towers 10th surrounding him, primarily closeted away with Kiryu or goofing off with Bakura or Hiruma, and getting his coffee from Agatha's shop. Yet, it's not that he's staying around other imports for importy reasons - instead, he's limiting his interaction to his family unit and people he actually likes/cares about. He doesn't reach out and get to know new imports any more than he does locals.
As for Geddoe, well. He has been doing his damnedest not to assimilate into this world, and that includes not getting to know people. He's a loner by nature, and a suspicious mercenary on top, so he really doesn't get to know anybody unless they seem to be a potential ally, and he knows that the only real allies he can make are other people with powers, thus other imports. Civilians are as inane and ridiculous in this world as sheltered noblemen and townspeople where he comes from, and he wants nothing to do with them. Only the bartenders at his favorite watering holes are familiar with him, and they don't even really know his name - just that he's that big Import guy who looks like some kind of Lord of the Rings reject who likes beer and cheeseburgers.
