Anomalous from the Latin word "anōmalus" means irregular or unusual, follows the life of Omega Dianne Crawford as she shifts from a child to an adult, having to make choices for herself and what she wishes to be, as well as how she wishes to impact the world.

The first big choice she must make is in the beginning of the story, where she has to decide literally what  type of person she will be through the form of the coalitions that are presented in the society they live in.

However, as we can learn at the beginning of the story, she is more than one coalitions. She fits in several of them.

Reading in between the lines, being "ANOMALOUS ", fitting into more than one coalitions was never a bad thing. Even though the society wished to kill those that don't fit into the standard, Omega is essentially good.

Fitting everywhere, or nowhere for that case, doesn't have to be a bad thing at all, just as Omega fitted into all, yet none of the coalitions, according to the rules of the Eruditus, the knowledgeable ones, the coalitions that depends on the knowledge they gained from studying which scientists and researchers belong.

However, Omega chooses to become a Domitare, the brave and courageous ones, where armies and warriors belong, which means that she will have to face all her fears. She does this with her head held high, and she later learns to overcome them.

This is one of the peaks of the story, where Omega obviously shows the strength of being fearless.

"There is nothing wrong with having fears, she says, but they should never stop you from becoming what you wish to be and following your dreams."

*Omega's POV*

We are lucky to be in The City. They say the war was terrible, that the rest of the world was destroyed. Our founders built the wall to keep us safe and they divided us into five groups, the COALITIONS, to keep the peace.

I saw people busy, typing on computers, analyzing and computing data's, reading and writing down their thoughts and ideas, looking on their experiments. The smart ones, the ones who value knowledge and logic are in Eruditus. They know everything and they are colored in blue. They lived in this City, the Manhattan.

There is also this people who loves farming, tilling the soil, showing kindness and always wearing their smiles that they call happiness. This is the Amicus who farm the land, they are all about kindness and harmony, always happy. They are colored in orange and lived in the City of Queens.

On the other hand, this people are banging their gavels, always in the court. The Candidus who value honesty and order. They tell the truth, even when you wish they wouldn't. They are colored in white and lived in the City of Brooklyn.

And then there's Domitare. They're our protectors, our soldiers, our police.

(Man and woman climbing at the hall's pillar going to the peak)

I always thought they were amazing. Brave, fearless and free. Some people think Domitare are crazy, which they kind of are. They are colored black and lived in the City of Staten Island.

"Come on Omega."called my father.

My coalitions is Abnegatus. The others all call us "Pawn". We lead a simple life, selfless, dedicated to helping others. We even feed the Outcast, the ones who don't fit in anywhere. We are colored into gray and lives in this city called The Bronx.

Because we're public servants, we're trusted to run the government. My father works alongside our leader, Matteos Goldwyn.

It all works. Everyone knows where they belong. Except for me.
