So, there's this abnormal town where everyone is assigned a job when they're in elementary school that they must perform for the rest of their lives. Everyone takes this "highly scientific multiple choice test" and pretty much has their fates sealed. The children all line up, and a woman hands out their cards in alphabetical order. Pretty much every year, something goes wrong with this, because the entire process is controlled by a senile old woman, and the cards are often mixed up. This leads to the majority of people being miscast for their roles.
Let me know if this interests you at all, if not.. Mk. o.o
(For example, a girl is destined to be a male model).

Feel free to tell me what you think and fill in the multiple choice card below so we could figure out an idea of what your character will play out to be:
1. Name
2. Gender
3. Race
4. Age: ~Between 6 to 13, unless you would like to be faculty~
5. Career your character would like to be (List up to five)
6. Career your character becomes mixed up with(Optional)
7. Some background information

Rules:
1. Character limit: 10
six kids, four faculty members.
2. Post restrictions
There is no limit in how much you can write per post, but there are profanity restrictions.
3. Have fun with it!

This is it? Where's the driving element? I means sure, the mismatch thing is cool, but maybe a more pressing issue could also be added, if only to attract people/give them a clearer idea.
Just trying to help. PM me if you want to chew me out or anything.

Sorry, just trying to help, of course. I'm sure it'll attract people nonetheless.
