The Factions,
Faction before Blood
Abnegation,
The Abnegation Faction is also known as the "stiffies" or "stiffs" and are the selfless faction. They feed the factionless, and because they have no lust for power they run the government. They help in the government jobs and look after others. They are extremely selfless and reject vanity so they cover all their mirrors and can only look into them for a few minutes a day. They wear loose fitting grey clothes.
Dauntless,
The Dauntless Faction is also known as the fearless faction. They are often times called crazy or insane because of the stunts they do. They use the train that travels around the city for transportation, by jumping into and off of the train. They are the police for the government, the guards of the fence, and help stop fights between the factionless. They have a training for the new initiates that tests their physical and mental strength and those deemed unworthy are either killed or made factionless. They have an arena in which they train and they used some parts of the city that isn't usually used for training arenas and such for a "capture the flag" game. They wear tight fitting black and red clothes.
Erudite,
The Erudite Faction is also known as the Intelligent faction. They are the teachers and scientists of the community. They create the serums that are used before the testing and the choosing ceremony. They are seen wearing blue.
Amity,
The Amity Faction is also known as the peaceful faction. They are the farmers of the community and are the only ones other than Dauntless that ever travel outside the fence. The fence is used to keep the community safe, but Amity farms outside of the fence, but in view to the Dauntless soldiers that are watching the fence. They help keep the peace in the community and bring the food in from the fields. They are the artists, nurses, and farmers that help the community in any way possible. They wear bright colors like orange, red, and yellow.
Candor,
The Candor Faction is also known as the honest faction. They only speak the truth and never tell lies. They are the lawyers and judges of the community. They believe that honesty is black or white, and are always seen wearing white. They speak the first thing on their mind, as it's the truth and that sometimes gets them into some trouble.
Factionless,
The Factionless are the ones that don't fit into any faction. They were either discarded by their faction for not fitting in, or were forced out by the leaders. They roam the streets and are taken care of by the Abnegation Faction. They receive no food or shelter, and are not allowed back in a Faction. They search the trash and receive help from the Abnegation Faction, but others see them as a burden. They are always seen being dirty and wearing torn and ratty clothing.
The Choosing Ceremony,
At the age of 16 each child will take an aptitude test in order to show what Faction they belong in. The next day they will attend the Choosing Ceremony where one by one the children will come up to the 5 Faction bowls and cut their palm and let a drop of blood drop into the bowl of the faction that they choose. They do not have to choose the faction that their aptitude test says that they belong in, but they cannot pick a faction after they pick a faction and are stuck in the faction until they die or choose to become factionless.
