~Abnegation IC~
Welcome to Abnegation.
Abnegation is the faction that values the needs of others above the needs of onesself. Their core belief being 'Them before I.' Members of Abnegation take over the public services in the city. Though Abnegation can be selfless, a flaw of theirs is the fact that they are stifling. This is where they get their nickname, Stiffs.
The dystopic society of Chicago is ruled by a council of fifty people, composed entirely of representatives from Abnegation, as their faction is the most incorruptible due to their commitment to selflessness. Abnegation's colour is grey. Their style of dress is conservative, loose-fitting grey clothing so as not to call attention to themselves. The only accessory they are allowed to wear is a plain watch. Also, as the people of Abnegation prefer not to show skin, exposing clothes are never worn.

Abnegation values the virtue of selflessness over any other. Abnegation initiates, upon attaining membership, are forced to reject a life of vanity and self-indulgence, protecting themselves from greed and envy which are considered forms of selfishness. Things like gossiping, using the mirror for long periods of time or often and buying luxury items are forbidden. As Abnegation members, the focus of their lives will be to serve others instead of themselves, therefore, anything done for self-enjoyment is discouraged. Abnegation are usually very quiet as they don't like to attract attention to themselves. They typically find satisfaction in helping others.
Members of the Abnegation faction are expected to be compliant to others at all times, even if that person is in Abnegation as well, e.g. they take the stairs to allow the elevators to be used by others. It is not unnatural for strangers on the streets to have an Abnegation helping them with anything such as carrying their groceries or treating an injury. Immoral actions are not a trait of an Abnegation, such as the usage of guns for violence. The faction mandates that guns should be only used for self-defense. However, as self-defense is a form of self-preservation, it is considered selfish and is discouraged. Their morally incorruptible quality makes them the only reasonable faction to be able to govern the city as political leaders, but because of their apparent submissive nature, it oftentimes causes other factions to think of them as weak.
City leaders are typically hand-picked from Abnegation, as it is generally believed that the faction's desire to put others before themselves are key factors for true leadership that renders a ruling government incorruptible.

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, while one of the older members reads the Abnegation manifesto. Then, all of the older members wash the initiates' feet. Lastly, they all share a meal, with each person serving food to the person on his or her left.

Abnegation members are only allowed to stand in front of the mirror on the second day of every third month for their haircut.
Families move together in harmony. After dinner parties, everyone in attendance helps to clean up.
The houses in the Abnegation sector are all the exact same size and shape.
Single people without families all live together in houses seperated by gender as revealed in the bonus materials of Allegiant: Movie Tie-In Cover Edition.
Not every family is religious, but some are.
Abnegation people are taught that physical contact is powerful so physical displays of affection are rare.
Children aren't supposed to speak at the dinner table unless their parents ask them a direct question. Their listening ears are a gift to their parents and then after dinner their parents give them the gift of their listening ears in the living room.
Different genders never sleep in the same room.
Abnegation people don’t decorate rooms. They see art as impractical and its appreciation is time that could be spent serving others.
Abnegation people don’t form real friendships because it is hard to do so when no one feels like they can accept help or talk about themselves.
On visiting day, initiates are allowed to visit their families and to visit with them as adults for the first time. They don’t need permission to speak and are allowed to ask questions at the dinner table.
Their funerals are a somber occasion. Everyone gathers to support the family of the deceased. There is no laughter, shouting, or joking.
Most of what Abnegation people eat is frozen or canned because the farms are far away.
Abnegation people eat plain food (chicken breast, green peas and a slice of brown bread) and don't drink alcohol.
In the film, Will, a transfer from Erudite, describes Abnegation's eating habits as "a plant-based diet with no sauces and minimal seasoning" after witnessing Tris's reaction to Dauntless hamburgers.
Abnegation people eat dinner at the table, always pass food to the right, and wait to eat until everyone has been served.
They believe kisses are not meant to be shared in public.
Abnegation people view suicide as an act of selfishness because someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.
Guilt is used as a tool, rather than a weapon against oneself. They use it to remind themselves to do better the next time.
They don't celebrate birthdays, because it would be self-indulgent.
Most Abnegation people, unlike the Candor, don't speak up their mind and share ideas in public because it is selfish to tell people what they think is right and get their way.

This rp will be a little different than the movies or books in the fact that there is no evil physo trying to take over the city and kill people, and that the city is sort of united and do things together.
