Hana Association also handles the grading of hazards in the City, being able to grade them up to the Star of the City level, with Impurity being a rating only The Head can assign to Hazards. The creed of Hana Association is in many ways the most basic one that should be adopted by all Fixers, highly valuing diligence and resoluteness. Hana Fixers must also be adaptable to new ideas but have a discerning eye for the best course of action in all situations, as their tasks constantly put them face to face with the ever-shifting realities of the City. The Hana Association uniform is made up of a formal attire that consists of mostly white colors with a few black colors added into it, with logo of Hana being a black Trigram. Hana Association Fixers use nano technology in combat that comes in the form of black geometric shapes that are incredibly sharp and hard to break.

   The Tres Association is the third of the twelve Associations in the City. They are responsible for managing Workshops all through the City. Their Fixers' duties include reviewing newly designed weapons, filing applications to the Head to register and patent the creations, and charging taxes relative to them. Their domain includes weapons, gadgets, and prosthetics models. When a design is rejected by the Association, it cannot be produced and distributed for commercial use in its current state, although it can still be kept for personal use. Upon rejection, the Association will at times send feedback suggesting how to improve the designs to a passable level. Like other Associations, Tres Association holds qualification exams for Fixers, including Workshop exams, presumably to obtain the necessary qualifications to run a Workshop. Syndicate owned Workshops are illegal in the City and are closed down whenever they're found out. However, some Workshops are a part of the Five Finger Syndicates such as the Thumb Manufactory, which the Tres Association cannot lock down without going to war with the Thumb, so they end up tolerating it against their will. While not official, Ateliers are usually more reputable and trusted to deliver high quality products than Workshops.

   The Shi Association is the fourth of the twelve Associations in the City. The Shi specialize in covert assassination requests. These types of requests tend to be quite common in the City, and the Shi Fixers are hired for their ability to complete them silently without leaving any witnesses. Shi Fixers will take on any target requested, ranging from regular civilians to dangerous combatants, as its members believe in equality in death. Given the nature of their work, there is an emphasis on client confidentiality. To handle each request undetected and within the time frame, Shi Fixers cultivate an eye for weak points and an ability to execute plans promptly. The difficulty of meeting these expectations leads the Shi to employ an overall lower number of Association Fixers than the other Associations. Its members similarly operate in untraditionally small groups. Each branch of the Shi Association uses different weapons, each suited for their environment. The Fixers of the Shi's southern branch wield long katanas, while the eastern branch's wield bowblades. The uniforms and weapons of the Shi Association tend to be black with red highlights.

On the other hand, there is at times unrest within the Association itself, and duels between Cinq Fixers are common. During their typical workday, Cinq Fixers of the East and South patrol the alleys of their area in search of potential clients and requiring a double fee in the case of an emergency contract, signed in the middle of a brawl. Their combat style focuses on identifying and attacking the enemy's weakness. Furthermore, Cinq Fixers traditionally throw a glove at their opponent to declare a duel.

   The Devyat Association is the nineth of the twelve Associations in the City. The Devyat Association primarily specializes in the delivery of items, with the Association being known for being able to "deliver (...) to any place in the world". Due to the costs involved, the Devyat is usually tasked with the delivery of high-value objects, or for delivery through rough terrain or climates. Despite the relatively high pay, work under the Devyat' Association is usually reserved as a last-resort job for Fixers in deep debt. This is likely due to the dangerous nature of courier work in the City, and the soft time limits imposed upon Fixers by the Devyat' Association equipment. Devyat Fixers uniformly carry Association-issued delivery trunks called "Courier Trunks", which utilizes technology that allows them to store much larger objects than their outside volume would allow, while not increasing in weight in any significant capacity. These Courier Trunks also function as Devyat' Fixers' weapons, being able to transform into various shapes and produce a wide variety of gadgets, in addition to emitting "decay particles" and "decay energy". Courier Trunks are also provided with weak assistant-level AIs named "Poludnitsa". Courier Trunks utilize P Corp's Singularity in order to both create a larger space within them, and keep the items contained inside protected. As a precaution due to the nature of the Singularity, strict regulations are in place to prevent Courier Trunks from carrying live humans.

    The Dieci Association is the tenth of the twelve Associations in the City. The Dieci Association specializes in the collection and research of knowledge. They also run orphanages, taking in children from the streets and raising them into joining the Association, thus earning them the nickname of "The Association of Charity". They also possess very large libraries for their Fixers to acquire more knowledge. Dieci Association Fixers fall into two major categories: the Fists and the Keys. The Fists acquire knowledge by "directly grasping with their own hands", while the Keys uses tools to study indirectly through lenses. This distinction extends to the fighting styles of the two sects: the Fists fight directly using their hands, while the Keys use their keys as weapons. The golden stoles worn by Dieci fixers convert their knowledge into strength, however, knowledge is lost when strength is drawn from it and must be regained through study. Each cardinal branch of the Dieci Association holds a 'Holy Relic', an artifact from The Ruins. These Holy Relics are the source of the Association's knowledge conversion technology. Each cardinal branch of the Dieci Association additionally houses a single 'Saint', a high-ranking member of the Association who holds an 'unfathomably grand' quantity of knowledge and are incredibly strong. The Saint is also the one responsible for protecting the Holy Relic of their respective branch. The Dieci Association also holds regular exams, testing the scope of knowledge each member holds. These function as motivators for members to increase their repository of knowledge, and exceptional performance of these is required for audiences with the Saints.

Members of the Thumb value politeness and respect to one's superiors above all else. This means that the Thumb demands absolute compliance to hierarchy, as when dealing with the Thumb, any action that shows a lack of respect for higher authority will be immediately punished.

Ultimately, the Thumb will punish anyone it deems an offender, regardless of how innocent the mistake or clueless the individual is. Members of the Thumb also need to respect outsiders, and they study the hierarchy of other factions. Thumb punishments tend to revolve around the removal of body parts. While the shape of the Thumb differs slightly depending on the quadrant of the City, members tend to dress in black, red, and gold attire. Each member's status can be gleamed from their uniform. The Thumb's weapons of choice are guns, which they make varied use of, such as fighting with bayonets or buttstocks, in order to cut down on bullet costs. Le Sette Famigliae are the seven families in control of the Thumb. The Thumb is considered as the most dangerous syndicate in the City by the Hana Association.

    The Index is a Star of the City rated Syndicate and the second of the Five Fingers of the Backstreets. Their culture centers around Prescripts, detailing written commands that range from mundane to utterly cruel and bizarre. Index Members and Backstreets citizens looking for the Index's protection must fulfill any Prescripts they get, failing means losing the protection. There is no guarantee of punishment for failing to fulfill a Prescript; rather, an Index Proxy must receive their own Prescript telling them to punish the slacker. Most Index members grow numb to the workings of the Prescripts and will carry them out without question. Those who do try to rebel against the system have little chance of maintaining their spirit in the face of the Prescripts' seemingly all-knowing nature. Altogether, members of the Index appear to have little in the realm of bonds, as it is always the Prescripts which come first. Members of the Index wear black formal attires and their signature white, gold-accented cloaks. The Prescripts assign all members above the Proselyte rank personalized swords. Proselytes wear blindfolds meant to teach them to follow the Prescripts regardless of what is happening before them, which is removed upon their promotion. Index Fabric is directly related to Prescripts and becomes stronger if a person fulfills them.

They'll be promoted to either Proxy or Messenger after showing a certain level of competence. 2- Proxy: A higher rank equivalent to a Messenger. Their Prescripts can ask for anything, but the order to punish others who have failed to carry out their Prescripts is most consistent. Index Proxies have a reputation across the City of being very faithful, fearless and persistent. 3- Messenger: A higher rank equivalent to a Proxy. The duty of receiving and delivering Prescripts to their recipients is held by them. 4- Weaver: Special members of the Index. They tend to the machines and looms that create the Prescripts. Their existence is a secret even to Index members. Weavers only exist in the Index Vaults where Prescripts are created. 5- Oracle's Proxy: A rank considered higher than Proxies. Only one Proxy may exist per Oracle, and they have a direct connection with a God/Goddess of the City. They are so strong that they're usually considered Stars of the City on their own.

    As a phenomenon, Prescripts are considered a Star of the City and are the cornerstone of the Index. Prescripts commands that can be delivered through paper slips, devices, scrolls, etc. containing highly unpredictable tasks. They may be delivered at any time, through any method, after which they must be carried out by the receiver. Every Prescript is one-of-a-kind, and the time limit for their completion varies. Prescripts might ask for something as easy as waving one's hand at an intersection, as bloody as maiming another human being, or as abstract as killing a painting. Abstract Prescripts are common enough that certain members of the Index are given the authority to interpret them for the receiver. Yet even with the variety and 'randomness', the Prescripts will always benefit the Index in some way. In this way, outsmarting the Prescripts is considered impossible. Prescripts are able to predict fate, know when they have and haven't been completed, and whether Prescripts are being fabricated, all of which they will adjust their commands to accordingly. The vast majority of people, including members of the Index, have no idea how the system really works.

    This entry is a complete secret that only Index Weavers and Oracle Proxies know. Somewhere underneath the City's surface lies one or more massive vaults, filled with pendulums and spinning wheels. Index Weavers work here, spinning thread to be positioned beneath a pendulum. The pendulum then functions as a seismograph, vibrating according to the motions of the City citizens up above. It writes in an unreadable tongue known as the "language of the City", which requires that the Weaver take the inscribed thread and weave it into cloth using spinning wheels, therefore making the language discernible. At this point the cloth has become a real Prescript, so the Weaver completes the process by stamping the slip and sending it to the surface by slipping it into a pipe labeled with the same code as the Prescript. Given that Prescripts are created from the day-to-day of City citizens, the Prescripts of the Index are thought to be generated from the people's wish for a direction in life, following the "Will of the City" itself. For this reason, they may even be considered comparable to gods, having been born in order to fulfill the people's needs. Hermes is the God of Prescripts delivered on Devices (Radio Waves), Moirai is the Goddess of Prescripts delivered on Paper Slips.

Members operate on an extremely tight knit 'familial' structure, enjoying close fraternal ties with one another. Reflective of their bonds, everyone in the Middle refers to each other as their siblings. While the Middle cherishes its own members, it takes the polar opposite approach towards outsiders. Any "sin" committed against the Middle is recorded in the "Book of Vengeance" so that the perpetrator might be punished for the deed. The Middle is well-known for never letting go of unfulfilled grudges, and members may spend years chasing down its enemies. The Book of Vengeance also provides guidelines for the punishment to every conceivable crime, which range from killing a sibling to the simple act of stepping on a member's shoe. Depending on the crime, the Middle will not hesitate to annihilate everyone in the perpetrator's faction, town, or social circle. Slights between members of the Middle are generally ignored and forgiven. Members of the Middle cannot leave, lest they be hunted down themselves. There's no strict dress code among the Middle beyond blending in with other members. They tend to wear light-colored dress pants and garish shirts or coats in purple and pink tones, as well as carry around personal copies of the Book of Vengeance with them. They also wear golden chains wrapped around the forearm, shins, and neck (more chains = higher rank), which the Middle utilize in combat by using their limbs with the chains to reinforce them, and are meant to symbolize solidarity and connection between siblings. Middle members are also recognizable by their Augmented tattoos as they are allowed to get a single tattoo with each vengeance completed (more tattoos = more experience). In combat, they make use of punches and kicks which become very strong with the use of Augmented Tattoos that glow purple when in combat.

Instead, there's a natural tendency for lower-ranking members to want to impress their superiors, and higher-ranking members to dote on their subordinates.

The Ring offers protection to residents of the Backstreets under its occupation, so long as the citizens are willing to create art to be evaluated. These civilians periodically submit artwork to be graded at an exam site, where Ring members refer personal judgements on a letter scale (e.g. A+, B-, F). One failing grade result in a warning, two in the loss of the Ring's protection, and three in an on-site execution. Similarly, lower-ranking members of the Ring regularly complete 'assignments' issued by higher-ups to maintain membership. Members of the Ring dress primarily in white, seeing the way it stains as a sign of the artistic process. They wear at least one ring, starting on their left hand, with the number of coils around the ring denoting their rank.
