I'm considering a character who uses alter egos... This is done via Shapeshifting and Suppression with an abnormally high Tec. As long as his true identity is not revealed, can this character finagle his way into opposing factions? Yes, I know this might have a bad ending if he is discovered, but that's all a part of the fun and story!
If you check out the OOC faction quests, completing the quest for one faction disqualifies you from the quest for their rival(s), so one prime cannot officially join rivaled factions. If you want to put that into IC terms, you can just think of it as faction's 'vetting' people who want to join them. And yes, most factions are going to have safeguards in place for goofiness like what you're describing.
I don't think this necessarily stops you from writing a double-agent story/spy thriller. You can still join a faction and then try and infiltrate its opposing group, but you would not be able to get any reward from said opposing group's faction quest.
