 This is a role play based of off the Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. All of my information comes from his books, either the series or Bogus to Bubbly: An Insider's Guide To The World Of Uglies.

The Life Phases Littlies: From birth to age 11 children live with their middle-pretty parents in the suburbs. Littlies go to elementary school with other children their age but maintain strong relationships with their parents.
Uglies: At age 12 children leave home to live in a dormitory in the the part of town called Uglyville. The children often made fun of each other by assigning nicknames due to flaws. Uglies only wear a dorm uniform which is basic and unflattering.
Ugly dorms are heavily monitored by drones and other surveillance devices, but Uglies often found ways to trick the system in order to break rules.
Uglies were taught to look forward to the day that they turned 16 so that they could be made pretty by the Pretty Committee.
New Pretties: At age 16 uglies undergo a surgery to turn them into New Pretties. This operation is a series of small surgeries, a full skin graft, cosmetic surge, body morphology change, and the replacement of teeth and other bones with stronger material. Plus a kind of brain surge(Bubbleheaded surge) that made humans less aggressive, inquisitive, and unlikely to question social order.
To keep New Pretties unaware of this surge they were separated from the other age groups. They lived in a portion of town called New Pretty Town.
New Pretty Town culture was full of mindless distractions, drinking, bungee jumping, hot air-ballooning, all organized around nightly fireworks displays and parties.
Middle Pretties: After several years the initial effects of the brain surge would fade and most people would become bored with the New Pretty Town distractions. Then they take a series of exams and upper-level courses to determine what jobs they will have as an adult. Once they are assigned jobs, Middle Pretties move to the Suburbs. They are allowed to marry, have children, and live in single family houses rather than dorms. As they age they will have minor operations to change their appearance. They will change markers of beauty and youth with markers of authority and wisdom.
Late Pretties: At age 80 or so most pretties retired and moved to a part of town called Crumblyville. This circle of assisted living estates lays at the edge of town, outside of everything else.
