Izmeralda: Hey guys! It's your friendly neighborhood devil hunter!
Ava: And her little sister, who just so happens to be a young Alchemist!
Izmeralda: Anyway… I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or The Scorch Trials.
Ava: The OC's, on the other hand, do. We're sorry if this is a little too long-
Izmeralda: -but this fanfiction has the same plot as The Scorch Trials by James Dashner but with Fullmetal Alchemist Characters, which means that it isn't a crossover.
Ava: So, to start off, we'll just give a list of all the characters that are to be put in this story.
Edward Elric: A teenage boy who was a Runner in the Glade. He discovered that he had a part in helping WICKED and building the Maze when he was stung by a Griever. He can speak telepathically with Envy and Winry. The tattoo on the back of his neck that was given to him by WICKED researchers says, "To be killed by Group B." Edward struggles with many conflicts throughout the book, such as becoming the real leader, being betrayed by Winry, and most importantly, surviving the Scorch. This causes him to become confused and hurt. During the trip, he falls for Izmeralda.
Roy Mustang: A Japanese-American man who was the Keeper of the Runners in the Glade. He is sassy, aggressive, and stubborn which gets him in trouble frequently. He is friends with Alphonse, Edward, Maes and the other Gladers. The tattoo on the back on his neck shows that WICKED intended for him to be "The Leader."
Alphonse Elric: A German boy with a gunmetal-colored steel armor body. He has a slight limp, and is Edward's brother and Roy's friend. The tattoo on the back of his neck designates him as "The Glue."
Winry Rockbell: Edward's best friend before the Glade. She can speak telepathically with Edward and Envy. She spends much of the novel with Group B, of which she becomes the leader. She gets under the control of WICKED at times, which makes it difficult for Edward to trust her. She was to be known as "The Betrayer". She joins WICKED.
Envy: Another boy who was involved with WICKED before the Maze. He spent the first novel with Group B. His role in his group was like that of Winry's. He can speak telepathically with Edward and Winry and his best friend, Lust, who was killed when Group B escaped their Maze. The tattoo on his neck designates him as "The Partner."
Allan Ketamo: A man who presents himself as the leader of the Cranks. He appears to be dangerous and psychotic, yet also humorous. He is a father figure towards Izmeralda. He helps the Gladers to get past the scorch and expects a cure for himself and Izmeralda.
Izmeralda Ongaku: A girl from Ireland who was turning into a Crank. Both Allan and herself help lead the Gladers through the Scorch. Izmeralda leads Edward after they become separated from the rest of the group. She eventually falls for Edward.
Hiro Sabadora: The first researcher to present himself to the group who informs the Gladers that they have the flare and how they can get the cure.
Ava Ongaku: The chancellor of WICKED and the one responsible for engineering teenagers to be sent to the Maze for study in their search for the cure of the Flare. She has never been seen in the series, but Edward is saved from a fatal brain experiment by a note from chancellor Ongaku. She states that a cure for the Flare virus will never be found and that the Immunes are humanity's last hope to restore the dying world, but WICKED's actions of sending them for Trials are threatening that hope. She is also Izmeralda's younger sister, though this is never revealed in the story.
