Story

In the future, in modern day Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue. These are: Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, and Candor. On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. On Choosing Day, sixteen year olds have a chance to pick the fraction they were born into and stay with their families, or choose another fraction and leave them and barely see them. Fractions live separately and by their own laws. 

Lately, the fractions Erudite and Abnegation have been growing angry at each other. Stakes are high, and tension between the two fractions is rising. Erudite has been trying to get Dauntless on their side while Abnegation has been trying to get Candor. Amity chooses no side, for their love for peace and hatred for war. 

The setting for this roleplay is a few days after Choosing Day and the new initiates are setting in their new homes. They are training to become part of the faction, and can face being factionless if they fail to complete the training. Feuds between Abnegation and Erudite are rising, and tension is higher than it has ever been.

You will learn more about the factions below. Message me if you have any questions.

Factions Info


Abnegation (The Selfless) I choose to turn away from my reflection, to rely not on myself but on my brothers and sisters, to project always outward until I disappear. - Abnegation Manifesto 

  • The faction that values selflessness in the service of others. These are ones who do community service. Abnegation was formed by those who blamed selfishness for human nature's faults. They believe in selfless actions and attaining peace through the elimination of selfishness. The dystopic society of Chicago is ruled by a council of fifty people, composed entirely of representatives from Abnegation because their faction is incorruptible, due to their commitment to selflessney feet. They wear usually gray and don't show much loving affection, because it's to self satisfying. They don't look in the mirrors, and don't care about their appearance. The houses in the Abnegation sector are all the same size and shape. Abnegation's initiation ceremony is a quiet affair. The initiates, who spend thirty days performing community service before they can become full members, sit side by side on a bench. One of the older members reads the Abnegation manifesto, then all of the older members wash the initiates feet. Then they all share a meal, each person serving food to the person on his left.
Erudite (The Intelligent) 
  • The faction dedicated to knowledge, intelligence, curiosity, and astuteness. It was formed by those who blamed ignorance for the war that had occurred in the past causing them to split into factions in the first place. Each member must wear at least one article of blue clothing per day. Erudite's main color is blue, as it is a "calming color that helps stimulate the brain". Also, most faction members wear thick glasses to make them seem smarter. Erudite initiation study, and take rigorous tests. There is one big test at the end of initation that if you fail you become factionless. 
Dauntless (The Brave) We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another... We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves. - Dauntless Manifesto 

  • The faction who tests their bravery by attempting death defying feats. They are pierced, tattooed, reckless and black-clothed. Their primary purpose is to guard the fence that surrounds the city. In the choosing ceremony, it is noted that Dauntless provides the city with protection from threats both within and without. Dauntless children are known for their noisy and unruly behavior. They are seen laughing, shouting and involved in various games and dares. This faction lives at the “Pit”. An underground cavern that can cater to all of the families within the faction. Built into the uneven stone walls are places for food, clothing, supplies and leisure activities. Narrow paths and steps carved from rock connect them. There are no barriers or safety devices that prevents a poor soul from falling over the side and into their deaths at the bottom. Blue lanterns light the path of the passage ways and it grows stronger when the day ends. Members of the Dauntless faction are dressed all in black and are seen talking and shouting in expressive gesture. Initiates have a training routine they follow. They have to be in the training room by eight o’clock every day. Training takes place from eight to six then afterwards are free to do whatever they like after six. Initiates are then ranked to choose the top ten members who become a part of the Dauntless Faction while the remaining initiates become factionless and kicked out of the compound.
Amity (The Peaceful) Give freely, trusting that you will be given what you need... Do not be angry. The opinions of others cannot damage you... The wrong is past. You must let it rest where it lies... You must no longer think cruel thoughts. Cruel thoughts lead to cruel words, and hurt you as much as they hurt their target. - Amity Manifesto 
  • The faction who values peace above else. The ones who try to make everything peaceful. Members of the Amity Faction are dressed in red or yellow. they look kind, loving and free. Amity children are seen playing hand slapping games and singing songs. They mostly have a laid back happy go lucky attitudes and are viewed as artists. Yet despite that, Amity has given Chicago understanding counselors and caretakers. Amity was a faction by those who blamed war and violence for human natures' faults. They formed Amity in order to have a peaceful society free from conflict and sadness caused by wars and instigation. They love music, art, games, and laughter. They give hugs when greeting. Their initation is peaceful, mostly just spending time with others in the factions and gathering fruit in the orchids outside what was once Chicago. 
Candor (The Honest) Truth makes us transparent. Truth makes us strong. Truth makes us inextricable. - Candor Manifesto
  • The faction that values honesty. The ones who can’t even tell one little lie. A member of the Candor faction can be recognized because of his black suit and white tie, a Candor standard uniform. They see the truth as black and white so that is what they wear. Through the years, the Candor Faction provided the people with trustworthy and sound leaders in law. Candor children are seen to make wide gestures with their hands and appear to be arguing. They are very truthful and would even frankly and tactlessly say what they feel. The candor initiation does not utilize simulation but utilize lie detectors tests and truth serum. An initiate sits in front of everyone and are asked a load of really personal questions. The theory is that if the person reveals all his secrets, he has no desire to lie about anything because the worst is already in the open.
Factionless
  • There is one more group that is not part of the social classes or factions. These are the factionless. These are the people who failed to complete their initiation into whatever faction they chose and live in poverty, doing the work no one else wants to do. They are the janitors, construction workers and garbage collectors. They are the ones who make fabric, operate trains and drive buses. In return for their work they get food and clothing. They live in places in collapsed roads, empty subways full of trash and sewage.

Juniper hung out with a group of Amity. She wore a yellow sundress and laughed with them. She looked at the initates who were walking by, getting a better tour of the place. She smiled and waved at them. She went back to talking to the other Amity. 
Viera wore a gray long sleeve dress, going down to her ankles. She had her hair up in a bun and no makeup on, like all Abnegation girls. She sat outside of her house, watching people pass by. 
Thalia wore a cotton blue long sleeve shirt and black jeans. She had on thick reading glasses while she hung out at the library, studying for the big test at the end of initation. She hummed softly. 
Four hung out in the Pit, drinking with a couple of friends since the drinking age was 16 here and he was 18. He watched people walk by, and looked at the new Initates, going to training. He scoffed and mumbled a good luck to them. He wore a black, tight t-shirt and jeans. 
Sebastion wore a black and white suit. He was talking with the other initates excitedly. 
Ash hung out alone in the factionless sector. He smoke a cigeratte and climbed into an old building.

Hey why dont there be like a secret club. Like a place where all the factions, can go. The higher ups dont know about it. Its a factionless club where the initates or factions can just be themselves. It'll allow everyone to meet.


Charlie

Walked with the other initates. She was happy to get away from all the fighting and finally she could be at a place, where she could express her art. She wished Toby wouldve came with her. (That was her nick name for him) She began to have flash backs, but quickly chided herself Stop! Don't think about him, he made his choice. He chose to leave you, when your dad, started to have a drinking problem and beat you. He promised to protect me and take care of . . me. He lied, its what all boys do, they have no morals. They dont care. She sighed and brushed away a tear, at the mental argument with herself. It was time for a new Charlie. She veered over to a group of Amitians. She smiled at the girl who waved earlier. Hi, I'm Charlie and new here she smiled.


Roy- Strode into the library. He was hanging out with his friends and was gonna play tricks on some of the initates. He saw Thailia and stopped. Shes gorgeous he thought.

Juniper smiled widely. "Hello. I'm Juniper. It's nice to meet you." She said, hugging her as the sign of greeting for the Amity. Just like the Dauntless shook hands and the Abnegation bowed heads. It was normal to the Amity to hug. // Thalia squinted at the computer screen and felt eyes watching her. She looked at Roy and blood rushed to her cheeks, her shy, prudish Abnegation personality showing. An Erudite born initiate walked over to her and fake tripped, spilling his coffee on her lap. It wasn't to hot, but she jumped in surprise. The Erudite boy laughed and walked away, calling back. "Sorry, Stiff." He said, using the insult other factions used towards the Abnegation.

Okay)) Four left the Pit along with a couple other people. They went to the All Factions Club. A girl that walked with Four and the other group of people flirted with Tobias as they walked into the club.

Roy- Captivated by her eyes. He walked over, but paused when some guy spilled coffe on her. He glared at him. He walked over to her, Need some help? he grabbed paper towels and helped her clean up. I'm Roy.


Charlie

Smiled and hugged back Nice to meet you. Hey, I was just going over to the new factions club, wana join me?

Thalia shook her head. "No, I'm fine." She said quickly, taking the paper towels away and doing it herself for two reasons. One, she didn't want a boy so close to her and two, it was in her Abnegation nature to do things herself so others didn't have to. "I'm Thalia." // Juniper made a face. "Factions Club? Sure."

Juniper cleaned off the most she could. She debated on letting him leave or not, but she guessed she ought to thank him. "Thank you for trying to help." She said, getting up and walking after him. // Juniper laughed and went to her house. She put on a red dress and curled her hair. She skipped out of her room and went outside.

Roy- Smiled and turned around No problem, anythign for a pretty girl. Hey, I was wondering, see me and my band are playing at the new factions club, would you like to come and see me?


Charlie

She smiled and ran upstairs curling her hair and letting it fall down to her mid back in waves. She put on this http://www.collegefashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tiered-skirt-outfit.png When she was satisfied and smelled like berries and her hair and glitter were done. She smiled and walked outside, putting on, her jean jacket. Her purple glitter eye liner, enhanced her blue eyes.

Thalia blushed majorly when he called her a pretty girl. She nodded. Yeah. Sure. I mean . . . I might have to study, but I'll probably be able to come. 

Juniper walked to Charlie's house with a skip in her step.
