Sam- He was nicknamed "School bus Sam" after saving a group of school kids when their
bus driver had a heart attack, and he took the wheel and steered the kids to
safety. Sam has a crush on Astrid and eventually becomes the leader of the town people. His mutant ability is the ability to shoot lazers from his hands. Caine is also revealed to be his fraternal twin brother that he's never met. While being forced into leadership he struggles to maintain control with overwhelming problems from society.
Astrid-15 year old sister of Little Pete and girlfriend of Sam Temple. Her nickname is "Astrid the Genius" because she is brillant. She influences Sam in many of the leadership decision he makes which becomes on of the causes of their relationship ending. Astrid is a very religious character and struggles with continuing to make moral decisions
Little Pete (Peter Ellison)- Pete is a 5 year old autistic boy that created the FAYZ. It has been shown that he has the power to teleport others and himself to other locations, the power to choke someone telepathically, create illusions, imagine
things and make them come to life, levitate, create rain clouds and many other abilities. Pete only reacts to trigger words such as "window seat", "munchy munchy" and "walkie walkie"; otherwise, he is almost completely unresponsive and keeps his
attention focused on his Game Boy system, which he is described to be playing Pokémon. He is also in contact with the Darkness, who thinks of him as “Nemesis” - “Nemesis with infinite power held only in check by the twists and turns, the
blind alleys and sudden high walls inside his own damaged brain”. He plays "games" with the Darkness who uses these "games" to make Pete do what he wants. Pete goes to the Darkness in his head to escape the overly bright real world.
Caine- Caine is a decisive antagonist, meaning he shows both great acts of good, but more or less greed, cruelty and malevolence. He leads the kids of Coates Academy on a rampage to attack the power plant, thus leaving the kids of Perdido Beach in the dark. He is telekinetic, which means he is able to move things around with his mind. Caine struggles with his mental health after meeting the gaiaphage. The creature appears to have nested inside his head and is quickly driving him to the brink of insanity. He's in love with Diana, but seems to have no problem with hurting anyone else.
Edilio-A Honduran boy who is Sam's second in command. He is in charge of the Perdido Beach security and later takes charge of the council. He has a team loyal to him who he trains in using weapons. He is also the main source of transportation for
Sam as he has learned to drive. He also had very honorable morals and is respected when Sam tells people to,
though some doubt his abilities since he does not have the Power. He is also the one responsible for digging graves in the plaza, which causes mental stress.
Drake- Drake is a psychopathic teen with shark-like features, nicknamed "Whip-Hand" because one of his arms becomes replaced by a red whip-like tentacle by the Darkness with Lana's help after Sam burns his arm off. Drake willingly serves the gaiaphage, frequently challenging Caine's authority and taking advantage of his mental instability. Drake is killed by Sam and Caine, but is resurrected by the gaiaphage using Brittney's immortal body as well as Lana's healing powers. After unsuccessfully attempting to take over Brittney, they keep switching over control and are captured and imprisoned by Sam and his team. Drake later escapes and takes Brittney to the gaiaphage. He then leads the army of bugs against Sam. Drake
fails and heads back to the gaiaphage. Diana sides with him after the gaiaphage absorbs Diana's daughter's body. Drake
and Diana retreat to the mineshaft after they are defeated by Sam and Caine.
