Well...I just finished this book called Divergent not too long ago, and it struck me that...maybe it would be enjoyed by others in RP form?
So...the book takes place in the city of Chicago several decades into the future. The City is split into five sectors, or Factions, each made up of people who value one trait over the others.
The factions are as follows:
Abdegation: Value selflessness above all. For example, do not celebrate birthdays because they are considered vain. Because of this, most political offices are held by this faction.
Erudite: Value intelligence over all. This faction does not get along with the Abdegation politically.
Amity: Value kindness over all...not much else to be said.
Cander: Value honesty. Therefore, Candor usually tend to be a bit on the rude side because they don't hide anything.
Dauntless: Value bravery. Example: To go to and from the center of the city, or the "Capitol", they jump on and off of a moving train. They guard the outskirts of Chicago and are taught to show no fear.
At age 16, each individual is given an aptitude test. This test determines where best the individual will fit. Soon after, a ceremony is held for the teens to pick their new Faction. Some choose to stay in the faction they grew up in, which presents no real problem. However, some choose to leave their family to go to another faction.
Once inside a faction, a person's family is left behind. Faction before Family is the government motto.
So...what do y'all think...does it sound like you'd be interested?
