I really like both B and C, to be honest - B seems a little more flexible, but the idea of FDC/Island natives knowing who they are is interesting. Maybe once they show up they're scanned/processed as manor/mansion/island inhabitants and that info is somehow broadcast or available for download in a wiki format that is available to FDCizens. That could be an interesting twist to a character's experience in the game, I think.
