Wonderland is composed of 5 factions, 1 of them neutral and the other 4 in constant competition. Though the competition may become heated at times and homicide may be frequent, they are still bound by rules of Wonderland and are generally not hostile toward each other on personal level.
With the exception of the Joker faction, members of all 4 other factions can choose freely where they live. It is their roles that determine which faction they belong to. While some roles can gain membership in any factions (such as servant), certain roles are unique, and can only belong to a single faction (such as royalties). Roles are determined whenever the character stops aging, and will stick to him/her for the rest of his/her life---with the exception of a temporary role of representative, given when the character is chosen to be the leader of a ruling faction.
Alice (NPC)
A young woman who suffers from the guilt of possibly killing someone she loved dearly, Alice entered Wonderland in order to escape the pressures of the real world. It was said that Wonderland reflects her soul and memories, though Alice herself is unaware of it. Realistic and cynical, Alice tends to have a pessimistic view on things around her and is constantly skeptical of Wonderland. It is due to her unstable mindset does Wonderland possess such disorders.
Faction of Joker (mod characters)
The faction of Joker is the only neutral faction and they are the overseers of the Wonderland. The faction of Joker is concentrated in a tiny area of land, so small that they are often not seen on the map. The members of this faction, however, are the most powerful beings of Wonderland. They are strict rule-enforcers, and will not hesitate to punish anyone who is found guilty. Because Alice is an oddity to Wonderland, the faction of Joker is constantly trying to track her down and capture her. However, due to the rule in which states that everyone must respect Alice, the members within the faction are in conflict on what they should do with her. As a result, the faction of Joker is divided into two sides of black and white, with black members supporting and respecting Alice, and white members trying to eliminate her to maintain orders (or disorders) of Wonderland.
All roles within faction of Joker are Unique and cannot be held by members of other factions. These roles are:Black Joker and White Joker, a pair of twins that leads either divisions. Also the most powerful beings in Wonderland. The twins possess all of Joker members' abilities aside from the ability to fix clockhearts. While they are considered the leaders of Joker faction, there's no specific responsibility bestowed upon them.
Jailmaster, who watches over the jail to make sure no rule-breakers escape from it. The jailmaster has access to the jail anytime and anywhere.
Faction of Heart
The mighty faction of Heart is an alliance made up of citizens of high class, ranging from nobles, knights, to royalties such as kings and queens. Being the wealthiest faction, the faction of Heart also holds the most military power. The faction of Heart does not mix with the other factions, for they feel responsible in keeping up the pure and honorable high blood-lines. Because of their prestige, most Hearts members resent members of other Factions as they often do not deem them worthy.

Faction of Spade
Known as a group of rule-breakers, the faction of Spade offers shelter to anyone who have violated the laws of Wonderland in the past. Spade Faction consists of a motley mix of citizens, from normal citizens, to refugees from all other factions, to Mafia members. Not all Citizens are dangerous criminals or evil but they make a point to show the faction of Joker that they are not a group to be easily taken down. The faction of Spade specializes in weaponry, and possesses the most advanced technology in Wonderland.

This means that if the reason why your character lives in Spades is because they initially destroyed a clockheart, they cannot destroy another clockheart or they will immediately be thrown in jail.
Faction of Diamond
The faction of Diamond is a group of citizens who do not like to be bogged down to a single place. Although lowest in the class ladder, members from the faction of Diamond enjoy the most freedom out of all factions as they generally do not hold roles with high responsibility. The most noticeable trait of faction of Diamond is their animal features. Although citizens with animal features can be seen in factions of spade as well, almost all of them belong to the faction of Diamond, making animal trait a distinguishing factor setting this faction apart from all other factions.
