Favorite Character
I like the bad guys too(: Well. I love all of the characters! :) 'Cept a few...I love pretty much all of the characters in the FAYZ. Some I enjoy more than others, some I like just cause they're creepy and some because they're shy and such.
My all time favorite is Sam Temple, the main character. I know some people hate him but he's probably my total favorite ever. He's fragile and scared, yet heroic, brave and strong. I love how he's naturally the leader no matter what happens, yet he doesn't really inside what to be but he knows he's the best person to lead. And he's just fun to read about. Drake Merwin has always creeped me out like crap but he's interesting me more and more after he tortured Sam nearly to death in HUNGER. It's really kinda scary to read about Drake but he's making me more and more interested in him. And there's Astrid Ellison, of course, the brians. She's a good character, probably my second favorite, behind Sam. She's smart, brave, and a nice girl. I like reading about her and Sam (aren't they just so cute together?). And Diana Ladris kicks butt. She's my idol, I swear. She's such a bad girl that always wants her way but somehow she seems to be a good person at the same time. And yes, you cannot forget Quinn Gaither. He is such a average person. He's scared, a little bit of a coward. I enjoy reading him to be able to relate. I don't think I'd tell the enemis what my friends' powers were and such but I'd be scared and have almost the same reaction to the FAYZ as he did. Yes, yes Caine's a charmer. I like him too. Oh I almost forgot Brianna! That cutie (: I love reading about her, Breeze. And little Taylor is cute with her little (or big) crush on Mr. Temple (: I forgot Dekka! She's so powerful like and dealing with homosexuality is hard, I'm sure. Well I cannot be sure, seeing as I'm Straight, but still. She's powerful, smart, and interesting...and a good leader.

Personally the Breeze cracks me up an Edilio is just a great supporting character. Diana has to be my favorite...I'm thinking she might eventually give in to Caine and fall for him.
Drake....scary!!! But definitely makes the book interesting.
The character I'm most interested in is Brittany...What is her power!?!? What is going to happen with her?
I think that Brittany's power is just not dying. I hate buried alive stories. They're so creepy!
Edilio is awesome! He's one of my favorite characters!
The Breeze is really cool too.
Sam is awesome too. It's great to have a leader-type character who can't handle all of the pressure by himself for a change. Darkanddead, who hates Sam? I didn't even think that was possible.
I really liked Quinn because of how sympathetic he is. He just wants everything to be the way it was, and has trouble imagining that people can do the things that the Coates kids do.
This series has such awesome villians! Caine and Diana creep me out because of their manipulativeness, and Drake creeps me out with his sadistic tendencies.
All of the characters in the series are awesome. I love them all! :)

I heard that MG is going to introduce like 5 characters per book....I can't wait to see who he comes up with.
Plus...is Orsey okay? Or will she be screwed up because she saw the gaiphage's (SP!?!) dreams?
OH!?! I can't believe I didn't realize that Brittany can't die! She doesn't even have a heartbeat!
Eeee. Brittany's story is creepy. Maybe she's just immortal...
Rachel, I've read discussions and people were all dissing Sam. It was so stupid. But how could it be reasonable...It's Sam. :] And he is...amazing. I hope Sam gets to kick some butt in LIES. Haha, I really want to see that. And I felt so bad when Drake tortured him...eee shudders...
Wow I forgot about Orsay. She probably did get really screwed up from that...I wonder if she'll turn out alright.
Jillian, really? Five new characters? Wow. I cannot wait for LIES :] even though it's like 9 months until it gets released.

Anyways, I really want to know where MG is going to take Brittany's story ... he is going to continue it, right? Anbody got a guess about what will happen to her?

She's a tough one to figure out, but I do hope they continue her story. I hope somehow she gets out of the grave and gets together with Sam's side. I want to know more about her.
Does anyone feel that the characters past kind of determines what type of abilities they end up having? Like its a mutation of one of their 'weaknesses' into something that will help them survive better in the FAYZ?
I think that what power they get is based on their needs or conditions when they first start to develop the power. We know that Sam's power to shoot light out of his hands started when he was scared in the dark. Duck's started when he was floating in a pool (this goes along more with "condition"). Lana's started when she was badly injured in the ravine. Although, I don't get why Orsay developed her powers.
For Brittany, I think that Brittany's power is to not die until she kills either Caine or Drake. That would go along with her needs because she felt that she needed to survive just long enough to kill one of them.

I agree with Rachel. It seems they get their powers when they need them...And interesting thought about Brittany. I mean...I actually think Drake is stilla alive. So maybe Brittany has to kill him...But I'm sure that anger Caine and Sam...seeing as both of them want to be the one to kill Drake.
And haha Kat. I'm a sucker for surfer boys with lasers that shoot out of their hands too lol.
Oh and I was reading a review and Michael commented on it. About Brittany he wrote,"I have the 3rd book, LIES, in the can. (Bad trouble for Brittney, I'm afraid.)" And he also said she she's not dead, but she wishes she was. So I guess not too good for Brittany in book three.

Yes, I agree. I don't think she'd kill Caine...For some reason I think Caine is going to live through the whole series...like Sam.

I think you spelled it right, to my knowledge. I just call it the Darkness. It's more simple.
I'd imagine a battle between either one of those. I'm pretty sure Sam won't die. I mean he's the main character...and everybody loves him. But everybody thinks Drake is creepy (ugh) but Michael did say that he didn't want to kill off Drake. I really don't think Drake is dead. I mean he was thrown to where the Darkness was and it never did mention what happened after that. So i'm excited to see what happens.

Lana was really cool too. She was really interesting in Hunger when she was trying to get the gaiaphage out of her head.

Well, Lana was trying to fight the darkness, but it was stronger than her. She overestimated her abilities. Caine knew he was doing when he was going along with the gaiaphage. Lana didn't realize that she was being manipulated.




i'm very confused about Brittany's situation, it's very creepy.
i also liked Duck and was sad when he died. atleast he died saving people.

but i feel really bad for Brittney, the one who's half alive in the grave. i nearly cried for her!!! i cannot wait to see what happens to her, i hope she'll be ok.


I don't think Drake or the Darkness are dead because Michael Grant said he didn't want to kill Drake, and the Darkness is pretty much the ultimate evil, so it doesn't make sense for it to be defeated until the end.
I agree about Drake. Drake is too creepy. I want him gone.
It's pretty easy to see that Drake is not dead. He's on the back cover of LIES, after all. I don't think that the Darkness could have been killed that easily. It has to be more complicated. It'll probably rise up again, like in Harry Potter. And I agree on the fact that the Darkness should not be defeated until the end because then where would you go after that? Nowhere.

Yeah Edilio is one of my favorite characters. He's so loyal. (: I would not say I'm in love with Sam but he is still my favorite character.
I have no idea where the back cover to LIES is. They usually don't release the back cover till later on. But I'm excited for that. I want to see what Michael thinks Drake looks like.

I love Astrid.
I think she's bright, [ obviously :] and caring, but she's also protective, and a fighter for what she loves. I relate a lot to her, I don't know why I just do with this character. Plus I love L.P :D

And Edilio. He's hilarious and very loyal
Haha, yeah.
My friends get mad at me because I do that
I love how Astrid is trying to insult Caine/Drake [can't remember. Think it was Drake" and she's like
"You...invertebrate!"
Nice comeback, Astrid :D

I don't know what might happen but...
:/ :D

:/ :P

By the way, my favorite character to write? Diana. I love doing her dialogue. She's such a . . . let's say witch.
Diana is awesome. She's not my favorite character, no, but she is my favorite evil character.
She just has that spice you could never call nice! :P

I also have mixed feelings about Caine. i really want to know why he hates Sam so much, or is that just the way he is?? so many questions.
I agree with Leah.
I think it's just the way he is probably. He's mad because Samw was the one that their mother chose to keep, probably. And he wants to be be the ruler of the FAYZ but Sam kicks his butt every time.

i can't believe i never thought of that, but yeah i bet its because of their mom choosing Sam.

And then there's Diana. I love her sososososoooo much dude. Her supirior attitude, her careful mask of emotion, the way she carries herself, how she's on her own side, and the other side of her: her knowing how she's not a nice person and not being proud of that, and (i think) her deep hidden feelings for Caine.
Drake Merwin. He literally makes the series what it is. Without Drake the FAYZ would not be half as cool. And, being an aspiring writer myself, I can apperciate really good antagonists. And Drake, well, he's one of the best I've ever seen.
Caine and the Breeze---it's harder to say why I like them, but I do, a lot. :)

The Breeze is awesome!

I like Quinn, Edilio, Jack and Little Pete. I also really like Caine and Diana. They are really fun bad guys. :)
