Orange guys are just people who are in the Sunlight covenant. They aren't any more powerful but you get a Sunlight medal if you beat a boss with them which you can offer at the altar of the covenant for miracles.
The whole point even of the co-op is to create a sense of isolation. Demon Souls had the same idea, basically no narrative and no real explanation of what to do or what order to play the game in, just turfed in to this hostile world with only ghostly hints to guide you along. The community helps alot. I think you can meet up with people in theory but the developers have tried to minimise. Also, most people, as I said, cap their level at 120 so the co-op or PvP stays available.
