Glad you like the idea, Balu. I'm no good at elaboration, but here's how I see this temporary sidekick situation:
If you've already gained reputation as either a hero or villain, and completed story-related quests, you can hire an npc to be a temporary sidekick. Some npcs won't be recruitable, of course.
Example: Completing the Park War and Franklin Apartments by helping Demolicious all the way will allow a player to hire her, if said player also has rank 8 Good. If you did both quest chains by helping Luigi, she'll snarl at you to get lost; if you completed both quests but don't have the reputation, she'll tell you to come back later as she doesn't trust people easily.
If you assisted Luigi during the Park War and have rank 8 Evil, the player might get a relatively strong Destroyer as a temporary sidekick, instead of Luigi. He'll make fun of you if you don't have the appropriate evil rank and/or did not help him in the Park nor the Apartments.
Miscellaneous npcs would need their own quests to be done before you can hire them, like Balu said. Most animal sidekicks won't so particular about one's faction, as long as the player treats them nicely.
Thank Drakkoniss for coming up with the idea of characters saying different things depending on what you did ingame in the first place.
