Welcome to the harsh, unforgiving, and morally complex world of "The 100." Ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear apocalypse ravaged Earth, the last remnants of humanity struggle for survival. Aboard the Ark, a conglomeration of space stations, a society governed by strict laws and reliant on technology believes they are the sole survivors. But when a hundred juvenile delinquents are sent to the irradiated Earth to test its habitability, they discover they are not alone. The Grounders, descendants of those who survived the cataclysm on Earth, have forged a new existence, characterized by tribal cultures, fierce warrior traditions, and a deep, often brutal, understanding of their savage world. The arrival of Skaikru (Sky People) ignites a profound culture clash, sparking conflict, forging unlikely alliances, and forcing both groups to question their beliefs, their methods of survival, and what it truly means to be human. This quiz invites you to explore which of these two distinct factions your own personality, instincts, and philosophies most closely align with. Would you thrive among the innovators of Skaikru or the warriors of the Ground?

The Skaikru, having lived in the controlled, technological environment of the Ark, arrive on Earth with a wealth of scientific knowledge but a stark naivety regarding the planet's dangers and its existing inhabitants. Their initial approach is often to tame the environment, rebuild a society mirroring the structures they knew, and rely on logic, reason, and technological solutions to overcome obstacles. They value innovation, strategic planning, and the rule of law, though these ideals are frequently tested and sometimes corrupted by the desperate circumstances they face. Characters like Clarke Griffin, Raven Reyes, and Monty Green often embody Skaikru's strengths: intelligence, resourcefulness in engineering and medicine, and a drive to create a more ordered, 'civilized' future. However, their reliance on past paradigms can also lead to arrogance, a misunderstanding of Grounder culture, and a tendency to repeat historical mistakes, often with devastating consequences. Their struggle is one of adaptation, learning to shed preconceived notions and integrate with a world far more dangerous and complex than they ever imagined.

In stark contrast, the Grounders are a product of Earth's harsh rebirth. Organized into various clans, such as Trikru (Tree People), Azgeda (Ice Nation), and others, they are formidable warriors who live by strict codes of honor, loyalty, and survival. Their connection to the Earth is profound; they understand its rhythms, its dangers, and its scarce resources. Grounder society is built on strength, resilience, and tradition, with leaders (Commanders or Hedas) often chosen for their prowess and wisdom. Their motto, "Yu gonplei ste odon" (Your fight is over), reflects a stoic acceptance of death, while "Jus drein jus daun" (Blood must have blood) initially dictates their often brutal approach to justice. Characters like Lincoln, Lexa, Indra, and eventually Octavia Blake, showcase the Grounders' tenacity, fierce loyalty, combat skills, and deep-seated spiritual beliefs. Their knowledge of survival is unparalleled, but their tribalism, suspicion of outsiders, and rigid adherence to tradition can also be weaknesses, sometimes preventing unity or leading to unnecessary conflict. They are a people forged in fire, embodying both the brutality and the fierce beauty of a world reborn.
