# The Factions ### Every Cryptorunner in the world identifies themselves with a Faction. **The factions are deeply rooted in the values and ethos of each Cryptorunner,** that is why technically each Cryptorunner’s faction is determined when the character is minted, and cannot be changed. **The minted characters will be distributed equally among the existing factions.** With the implementation of world-changing events, you can expect new Factions to be born in the event that new characters need to be minted. **Anyway, we will always keep the uniqueness of our Genesis collection through their distinctive art style and characteristics that only they will have.** From a gameplay point of view, **each Faction will grant specific bonuses to their members and will have access to specific items and game mechanics**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
