Dauntless
Faction Manifesto
We believe that cowardice is to blame for the world’s injustices.
We believe that peace is hard-won, that sometimes it is necessary to fight for peace. But more than that: We believe that justice is more important than peace.
We believe in freedom from fear, in denying fear the power to influence our decisions. We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.
We believe in acknowledging fear and the extent to which it rules us. We believe in facing that fear no matter what the cost to our comfort, our happiness, or even our sanity.
We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.
We believe, not just in bold words but in bold deeds to match them. We believe that pain and death are better than cowardice and inaction because we believe in action.
We do not believe in living comfortable lives. We do not believe that silence is useful.
We do not believe in good manners.
We do not believe in empty heads, empty mouths, or empty hands.
We do not believe that learning to master violence encourages unnecessary violence.
We do not believe that we should be allowed to stand idly by. We do not believe that any other virtue is more important than bravery.
History
The first leader of Dauntless, Ruby Flare.
Compound
The Dauntless compound is located far from town. There is one entrance to the compound which you access by jumping off of a 7 story building into a hole in the ground. There is a net at the bottom, but the net is not visible from the top of the 7 story building. Inside, the ceilings are sloped, the walls are stone, and it is dark in post parts.
Initiation
There are three stages of Dauntless initiation: Physical, mental, and emotional. Throughout initiation, the initiates will be ranked, and the rankings will determine who gets the better jobs in Dauntless. Unlike in the books and the movie, no one is cut during initiation. Dauntless Borns and Transfers are trained seperately, but ranked together. During Initiation, initiates are given a tour of the compound, forced to jump on and off a moving training multiple times, forced to jump off a 7 story building, taught how to shoot a gun, how to throw knives, and are paired together for fist fights, are put through their fear landscape, and are forced to face their fears one by one. It is tradition to play capture the flag at Navy Pier during initiation, as well. At the end of initiation, Dauntless leader's watch as you are put through your fear landscape. Your final rankings come directly after this. There is a zip line which the Dauntless often go on during initiation as well.
Traits
Dauntless are brave, but not wreckless. Fearless, but not idiotic. They wear black, sometimes red, and are often very strong or intimidating. They are known for getting multiple piercings, tattoos, and also for dying their hair unnatural colors.
