One choice can transform you...
In an isolated civilization located in Chicago resides a community of five factions: Amity, Erudite, Abnegation, Candor, and Dauntless. When a citizen becomes sixteen years of age, they have the privilege of choosing which faction they will dedicate their life to based off of the results of their aptitude test. Some citizens become factionless when unable to meet the standards of the faction they chose and they have to live the rest of their life away from the factions. Some citizens receive "Divergent" as their aptitude. These citizens can fit well in more than one faction. They are a threat to the government because they have the ability to manipulate serums that are used on normal citizens and they have smarter minds. The Divergent are being hunted down and killed, but they are becoming stronger. Battle is about to break out between the factions. Will you defend your family? Your faction? Your friends?
...one choice can destroy you...
Rules
OOC
1. Please no power playing, Mary Sues, etc. Your character can't be perfect. That's not fair, and it's annoying. So please don't do it.
2. Please, please, please have good grammar. I cannot stress enough how important that is. Yes, I know, nobody is perfect, but good grammar shouldn't be all that hard if you try. I will not accept any forms with bad grammar.
3. Completely ignore Rule 11. Instead, your favorite fruit somewhere in your form.
4. Not everyone can be Divergent. Let's try to limit one Divergent character to every four characters. Do not be upset if I tell you that you cannot have your character be Divergent.
5. Make at least two characters, please. I want to keep the ratio of girls to boys even.
6. I'm perfectly fine with cussing, kissing, etc. Just don't get too intimate, please.
7. Please try to post at least three sentences. I understand low muse, I get it a lot, but it doesn't hurt to try. :)
8. I would deeply appreciate it if you've read the whole first book. Also, be aware of others when discussing the trilogy. I've read Insurgent, but not everyone here might have read it. So be courteous and use spoilers! :)
9. PM me if you would like to play a faction leader.
10. OCs only, please! These characters have nothing to do with Veronica Roth's!
11. If you read all of these, put "Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up." in the "Other" section of your form.
IC
If you've read the first book, I think you would know what the rules are. This way I can better pick out who has actually read the book and who's not following the rules. 8)

"Shh, listen! .......Hear that? It's beautiful, isn't it? The world is so much more amazing when you're not talking."
Name: "My name is Alice Naomi Allard. I used to go by Ally, but only my brother calls me that now that I've transferred."
Gender: "........Really? I didn't know you were so blind. I'm a girl. A female for those who have a problem with illiteracy."
Age: "I turned sixteen about five months ago."
Appearance: "I'm average sized, I guess. I'm five feet three inches and I weigh one hundred and ten pounds. My hair is very blond with a few thin black streaks, and it goes to my shoulders. My eyes are dark brown, and I usually wear mascara and dark eyeliner. I also have just a few freckles, but they're hardly noticeable. People tell me like my laugh and smile, so I guess that's a good thing."
[Font=times new roman]Personality: "If you couldn't already tell, I can be pretty sarcastic and make smart remarks. I always speak my mind, hence my Candor aptitude. Because of my Dauntless background, I'm stubborn and rude to those who I can't get along with. I probably sound like a total jerk right now, but I'm not. I like to have fun and be with friends. I like to test people, so I came up with a lot of the dares my brother did. I used to do some myself, but not all the time. I have a lot of pride, the opposite of my brother, and I will fight to the end to get my way or to get my point across. I can hold a grudge for a long time, and I'm never the one to apologize. Whatever I think is right is right. I like to loosen up, though, and have a good time with people my age. People say they like my laugh and smile, so I've laughed often due to the actions of others. I'm a loyal friend and honest most of the time unless it's something I really shouldn't reveal. I'll admit, I like dark things. I like crows, shadows, nighttime, the color black..... I'm not emo or anything, I just like it. I also like to read. Sometimes. I'm pretty literate and serious most of the time, too, but I also love to just have a good time. I don't always show emotion. I mostly look quite serious and my smile is more of a small smirk. It's rare when there's more of a hint of emotion in my face or voice other than seriousness or sarcasm. I also have a weak spot for chocolate-covered strawberries... That's all I can think of to tell you right now."
Family: John Allard - Father - Dauntless - Deceased
Katherine Allard - Mother - Dauntless - Deceased
Franklin (Ellis) Allard - Brother - Dauntless
Crush/BF/GF/Spouse: "I didn't have a crush on anyone in Dauntless, and I don't know anybody in Candor yet, so no, I don't have a crush."
History: "My history is nothing abnormal or anything. My younger brother and I just liked to do crazy things together. He's so much fun. One time, I dared him to pants one of the people who worked in the clothing store. He did it and blamed it on some ten year old! It was the best!!"
Faction and/or birth faction: "I am a Candor initiate that came from Dauntless."
Aptitude: "I am Divergent. I received Dauntless, Candor, and Erudite in my results, but the lady who did the test for me recommended Candor, so here I am."

[Font=times new roman]RP Sample: Alice watched nervously as her younger brother was warmly welcomed as a Dauntless initiate. She could feel the gazes of other Dauntless faction members as if they expected her to make the same decision. She understood this assumption, considering she always thought she'd have a Dauntless aptitude when she was younger. Before she knew it, she was walking up to receive the knife she would use to slit her palm. She thought that seemed a bit dark, like slashing your wrists out of fear or depression. She didn't mind, though, and gently brought the clean blade across her hand. Her movements were almost robotic, her mind going blank as she let her blood rain down into the bowl of glass. She suddenly felt awkward, but she didn't let it show as she boldly strode over to the group of Candor, catching her brother's gaze only for a moment before looking away. She knew Ellis wasn't mad--he seemed quite proud, actually--but she was ready to leave now. She managed to look at her little brother once more to give him her signature smirk to receive his in return, their own kind of communication they had used for years. She would miss that.

"Chill out, guys! Just have fun!"
Name: "My name is Franklin Ellis Allard. I normally go by my middle name, Ellis, but I'm okay with Franklin. :)"
Gender: *high pitched voice* "Oh, yes! I'm a girl! Come on ladies, let's go shopping!" *laughs* "No, I'm a guy. XD"
Age: "I'm sixteen."
Appearance: "My looks? I'm obviously incredibly hot and charming. ;) Haha, just kidding! I'm a little taller than average. I'm six feet five inches and I weigh a hundred and forty-five. I have some muscle too, including a six pack(; My hair is a sandy brown that I comb forward over my face which is tanned like the rest of me. My eyes look like they're ebony colored, but if you look reeeaaaallyyyyy close, you can see they are a very dark brown. I'm usually smiling and relaxed. I've been told I even look peaceful in my sleep! Stalker much....watching me sleep........"
Personality: "I'm pretty laid back and mostly in a good mood; I usually don't stay angry for long. I'm the funny guy of the group who just wants to have fun and is always up for a laugh. I'm pretty easy-going. Failure has no effect on me, and I really don't have that much pride. XD Though I don't normally care about what others think of me, I'm not stupid. I'm always up for a dare, but I never accept any challenges that are majorly crossing the line. Yeah, I'll get myself in trouble at times, but nothing too bad. I'm kind and caring as well, I'll admit, and I do have a soft spot for children, puppies and kittens. Go ahead and laugh, I honestly don't care. I can be tough when needed. If someone or something I care about or believe in is offended or hurt, you really don't want me around. I'm really friendly and a big jokester, so it's almost impossible to stay sad around me. Unless, of course, something major happened, then yeah, that makes sense. I'm also pretty open, but my deepest secrets stay with me and me alone unless I really, really find it necessary to tell someone, and that someone will be someone I trust. Named 'Someone'. I don't know who that Someone is, but someone (a.k.a. me) is having fun just saying someone to whatever someone is reading or hearing this from someone, whether that someone is in their head or that someone is someone else. Someone. Okay, I'm done now. XD"

History: "My sister was born just five months before me, so we've spent a lot of time together. Once, we dared each other to eat something while hanging out of the train. I ate a sandwich and she ate an apple.......... Let's just say it's a good thing I know CPR......."

[Font=times new roman][color=black]RP Sample: Ellis stood beside his sister as they waited their turn to choose their faction. Looking down at Ally, he could see that she was fidgety. Was she changing factions? He knew her so well that he was probably right. Giving her a small nudge, he gave a reassuring smile to receive one in return. Glancing around to make sure no one was looking, he gave his sister a warm hug. "No matter what, you'll always be my big sister," he said quietly in her ear. "I love you, okay?" He was answered with an "I love you too" and pulled away as the ceremony started. His turn came before his sister's and he gave her hand a gentle squeeze before stepping forward. Some of the teens would be giving up their faction colors today, but not this one. Drawing the knife across his palm, Ellis let his blood rain down into the bowl of fire before going back over to the group of Dauntless members, greeted by grins and a few playful punches.

"Intelligence, hard work, commitment, confidence, and determination. These are key for success.
Name: "My name is Daniel Emmerich Drew. Dad calls me 'Danny', but that's about it. I don't let other people give me nicknames. It's too immature."
Gender: "I am a male."
Age: "I am nineteen years old."
Appearance: "I am a healthy young man, standing at five feet six inches and weighing one hundred twenty pounds. My hair is short, a dark shade of brown. It hangs down to my eyebrows when it is wet. My eyes are a greenish-grey color, full of knowledge and intelligence. I normally dress nicely: a black tux with a blue tie. My watch that I wear on my right wrist is leather and blue as well. I keep my electronics in my tuxedo pocket. I always have the newest technology. I get a large discount because I help with its creation."
[Font=times new roman][color=black]Personality: "Sophisticated, intelligent, and punctual. That's me. There isn't time for messing around, for there are important things to be done in our society ranging anywhere from the medical field to mechanics. My brain is my best friend, for it helps me use my knowledge to get through everything. I hate it when people are late. It throws off my entire schedule, and there isn't time for that. I'm the type of person who would tell a child the tooth fairy isn't real. There's no need for stories that aren't true. There are plenty of entertaining things to do that are real, not fantasy. I am a rule follower. If there are no rules, our society would fall apart. I follow the rules to help keep everything in check and running the way it should. I hope that soon I shall become a researcher in one of our main laboratories, a doctor, or a member of our representative government. I know I will receive a position in these fields sooner or later. I believe there is something terribly wrong with our society. The factionless and Divergent must be dealt with as soon as possible; they're causing so much trouble. I don't know if it's just me, but there have also been more faction changes. What's going on here?? Things need to be put in check."
Family: Dwight Drew - Father - Erudite
Marie Drew - Mother - Erudite
Lyra Drew - Sister - Amity
Crush/BF/GF/Spouse: "I don't have a crush. I'm much too busy with my studies as it is."
History: "I've always been a bright young man. My parents did everything possible to make sure I got the best education. They've always been proud of me and have encouraged me throughout the years. I won two speech and debate competitions in my past and one science fair. I've always had an interest in giving speeches. I used to make my own about things I read in our encyclopedia for my parents when I was young. When my sister was living with us, my parents were especially strict. I felt bad for setting their expectations for her too high, so I helped her in secret when I could. I do believe, though, that it was partially her fault. She seems to have a hard time staying focused and organized with all of her work. Now that she's gone, though, I can focus completely on getting better at all that I do and helping to improve our society."
Faction and/or birth faction: "I have and always will belong to Erudite."
Aptitude: "Erudite. What else would it be?"

[Font=times new roman][color=black]RP Sample: Daniel walked alongside his sister to the Hub for the Choosing Ceremony. Lyra seemed....odd. She looked unfocused, and even nervous. He had noticed she had been acting very odd lately, but he thought nothing of it. He knew he should've, but he and his group were very close to creating an app to clean out computer viruses. There was no way he could miss out on that. Just now, though, it hit him. What if he never saw his little sister again after today? What if she transferred? Was that why she was acting so odd? Daniel suddenly felt terrible for not spending more time with her, but he could do nothing about it know. Soon, it was time for her to depart and take her place in line to be called. The young man kept his eyes trained on the younger teen as she walked up to receive the knife offered to her. When he looked closely, he could see the personality in his sister's eyes. Mixed emotion was all he could see. Her face glowed when her blood rained down into the bowl of earth, and Daniel couldn't help but feel proud of his younger sister. Yes, there were too many transfers in his mind, but this one seemed necessary. Now Lyra would be free from stress and pressure; she already seemed relaxed among the Amity group. He knew it was the best choice for her. With a side glance at his parents, Daniel made sure to hide his smile for he did not want his parents to think he had something to do with their only daughter leaving them.

"I'm just me. No one else, nothing special, nothing important. Me."
Name: "My name is Lyra Karis Drew. I don't really go by anything else."
Gender: "....I'm a girl..... Do I......look like a guy to you..?"
Age: "I turned sixteen in March."
Appearance: "I'm pretty small. I'm five feet tall and I weigh ninety-eight pounds. When I run regularly, I weigh a hundred, but I haven't been running so I lost some muscle. I still have nice calves, though. ;) Anyway, my hair is long, reaching to the middle of my back. It's soft, I've been told, despite its wavy appearance. It's a reddish-brown/maroon/orange. I don't know, it's some weird color. It's natural and pretty, though, and I like it(: I do straighten it sometimes, but it's very rare. It's almost the same color as my eyes, which are a bit darker but they also are a weird color. I've been told my face is innocent and thoughtful, but I think I look inspired and full of wonder. Maybe that's just me that sees it, because that's how I feel sometimes. My skin is fair, and I do have some sort of tan. Not a good one, but that's okay!(x"
[Font=times new roman][color=black]Personality: "I'm a generally nice person, but I can get irritated pretty easily. I tend to get along better with people at least a year older than me. The people in my class the past few years were really annoying. I absolutely love music--it's a necessity of life for me. I love to read, too. Dancing is also a ton of fun, and I love nature. I seem to get along well with animals. :) Even though I seem happy most of the time, I'm usually just faking it or momentarily distracted from whatever's troubling me. My parents are very strict people, and being in an Erudite family just made everything even more stressful for me. Even though I get annoyed pretty easily, the simplest things usually make me happy. Mostly, though, all I need is company. I'm used to being alone, but I absolutely live hanging out with friends. I also have this issue with feeling accepted. A lot of people see me as a good person, but I'm nothing they think of me as. Unless, of course, there's something I don't see in me that everyone else does...? I don't know. Well, that's me for you. Sorry if I left anything out. I can be pretty forgetful at times."
Family: Father - Dwight Drew - Erudite
Mother - Marie Drew - Erudite
Brother - Daniel Drew - Erudite
Crush/BF/GF/Spouse: "I don't have a crush. I mean, what's there to like in me? I don't see anything desirable for a relationship. Me having a crush would be as pointless as Peter Pan trying to fly without pixie dust."
History: "I grew up in Erudite thinking I had everything under control. My grades, my research, my life...... There was just too much stress. I got sick just from stress. My parents scolded me for it, and my brother just gave me sympathy. He helped out some, but he was not allowed to. I really do find the technology and sciences and stuff interesting, I just want something more. That's why I transferred to Amity. I knew I would have the most fun there."

[Font=times new roman][color=black]RP Sample: Okay, this was it. Today was the Choosing Ceremony. Lyra knew what she had to do--she would transfer. No way would she continue with all the stress and make her life miserable in Erudite. Besides, she already had friends that transferred to Amity; she wouldn't be alone. The young woman was abruptly interrupted from her thoughts when her name was called. This soon? Wasn't she just walking into the Hub with her family?? Time really flies when you're worrying. Taking a deep breath, Lyra pushed back a strand of her hair and stepped forward, accepting the knife offered to her. She looked at it with longing. Oh, she had waited for this moment for a long, long time. Smiling slightly, the teen brought the blade across her palm and let her blood run into the bowl of earth. Then she grinned, making her way over to join the group of people dressed in yellow and red. She was on the road to being Amity now. Soon, her life would change for the better.
