Is there a way you could make a favoriting system so people can save characters they may be interested in working with?
That way you don't have to search around, especially if you haven't friended that characters creator?
That way you don't lose them if you have to leave of close out the window, and make it so when you have time you can instantly find that character again?

Hey there!
Right now RPR doesn't have a feature like this and I don't think we will anytime soon either. Browser bookmarks already fulfill this need and are synced cross-platform these days (Chrome synchronizes bookmarks between my desktop, phone and tablet seamlessly), so I'm going to guess it's not something Kim wants to put resources into.
Is there any particular reason you're not using bookmarks in browsers?

One of the things on my list is a "watch" feature that will allow people to get notifications about a character they don't have any IC ties to yet (so they can't establish a "relationship" with them through one of their characters.) It's still pretty far down the development path though.
If you're not wanting notifications about when that character posts, though, then yes, this is exactly what browser bookmarks are for!

A couple questions to expand upon this planned watch feature. o:
Will this feature tell people when a character has been updated or edited significantly?
Expansions upon the last question: Will creators get the option to allow notifications be made to those that watch the characters? Like, would we get maybe a checkbox that is all, "hey, this is a significant change, alert this character's watchers" or the option to leave it unchecked like, "whoops, it was just a typo, no one needs to be updated for that edit."
Or would some of the notifications be akin to gallery posts, like: "(character) has added a new page! [link BBcode]Title of Page[/link BBcode]!"
It would be kind of neat to see character pages grow over time in this fashion.

The watch feature will be the exact notifications you get now, without the need for an IC relationship between one of your characters and yours. It would not itself add any new types of notifications.
For more on expanding notifications and discussions thereof, see: http://www.rprepository.com/community/forumthread.php?t=18138 (there are other discussion threads but I can't find them right now
