The Revelers
"One thing that's great about being an Innocent is that we don't need a reason for anything. We just do what we want and let the Administration, Process, and so on deal with the consequences. Don't you want that feeling of liberation?" -A Reveler, giving a familiar argument.
The Revelers is an informal and slowly growing faction of mostly Innocent Users dedicated to hedonism. Notably, they have a shared Mantra that includes a variety of scripts and rituals for inducting Users into their ranks. Though the individual members have little or no memory, many have noticed that the organization as a whole seems to adapt like a hive consciousness. Rumors have also spread that not all members are as Innocent as they seem, as they are occasionally found engaged in clandestine acts with no recall of their reasons.
Structure
To most appearances, The Revelers are a hive mind of sorts, with their culture defined by a shared Mantra that seems to be updated on a routine basis. There is no obvious hierarchy, but on occasion, they seem to develop a collective direction. New members are inducted and immediately accepted as equals upon becoming Innocent.
Culture
The Revelers live up to most stereotypes of the Innocent: Fun-loving, full of wonder, carefree, and amoral. Beneath that exterior lies a drive to convince other Users to join and scripted arguments that they are the ultimate fate of all Users. Unlike most unaligned Innocent, Revelers are known for carrying Coin on occasion, making them viable customers among memory purveyors. Few know how they obtain this Coin, and most know it's useless to ask. Some believe that the group is an experiment by Administration to make Innocent more accepted in society, while others believe there is a sinister leader hidden among them, using the Innocent members in some grand design.
Public Agenda
The Revelers live up to their name, openly pursuing thrills and pleasure. It's no secret that they enjoy convincing other Users to join their ranks.
Assets
The Revelers have a source of Coin that seems difficult to trace. Some believe that they traded in their memory to the Administration for Coin to spend. The Revelers themselves don't claim to know or care.
