That would be ... too big. I mean, it's pretty small scale now, just one of the games played in the Jyhad, or maybe even a prelude to Gehenna. But the ending of the world?

Nines behaves well and Jack, well he's an anarch, isn't he?
Jack's hand is the one that moves the pawn.
Well, Jack in cooperation with, or in service of, that mysterious cabdriver[1]. Though Jack is generally helpfull and not bend on your destruction, as is the Jester, I feel he only helps you to help his own cause.
Nines seems ok though, even though he is short tempered, just as Damsel and Skelter. I could imagine allegiance with the LA Anarchs just because of Nines.
Allegiance with LaCroix seems, well, rediculous. This Jester keeps trying to get rid of your character. On top of that, he's plain mad and looses control when things don't go his way, sooner or later he will fall and you'd go down with him. Well, at least you'd know who your enemy is. I imagine Strauss would be much the same, just a bit more sophisticated and controlled.
Kuei-Jin ... their arrangement with kine seems better then the Kindred Masquarade, which is bound to fail in the next few decades. But ... well, Ming is shouting deception and lies with every word that passes her undead lips. You just know that any arrangement with her will not end pleasantly for your character.
So, that leaves ... no alegiance. I imagine one could try and catch up with Beckett to do some tomb raiding with him. Or, talking about comfy, move to some island in the pacific and play god/godess or even just priest/priestess to some occult (blood) religion for the natives.
Spoiler
Surely somebody let Beckett know so that he could save my skin? "Don't open the box!" Even the Thin Bloods warn you - you "don't want to be around when the Jack comes out of the box" or is it really Beckett?
I assume
Beckett adds two and two after he hears the Jester barking to you about the box looking as if it had been opened on the Dane. Whatever is in the box now, someone has been tampering with it for their own purposes.

[1]Could the cabdriver be
Jack's Sire? From what I've gathered, Sire - Childe relation resembles parent-child relation and the 'father behind him' hint from that fortuneteller on the beach might point to Jack's Sire rather then The Dark Father.
