Author's Note: Okay guys, so, I decided to post another chapter introducing two more characters! Hopefully this will inspire some people to send in OC's. I'll probably post another chapter soon, (that'll be chapter 3) that also introduces two more characters, and then my fourth chapter will just introduce all the other characters at once. I'll make the fourth chapter once I all of the spots are filled. Anyway, enjoy, and please leave a review!

Launa Everette enjoyed people and experiences. She's described as always open to new ideas, and loves to take up possibilities - even ones that seem ridiculous. She has a slightly tan tint to her white-colored skin, and her hair is straight and soft, beachy brown with random blonde streaks within, and is typically kept in two high pony tails, as her hair reaches her waist. he has silky, blue ribbons that hole up the pig-tails. She doesn't tie them in bows, she instead just does a knot. She's got rather large blue eyes. And she is a bit shorter than the average teenage girl. She's slim and petite, but she's got hidden muscle within her, but you can barely tell from her slim physique. Her nose is pretty small, and her cheeks seem to have an autumn blush. She's got a rather small forehead. Her legs are long, and her torso is rather short - which is why she is generally pretty short. But Launa had a really rough backstory.

Launa never got along well with her mother. Her mother was a whiner. Her mother is mainly a huge hypocrite. She has no rationale and no conception. Basically, instead of being grateful for the things she has, she is always moping about the things she doesn't have. She is always yelling at Launa for the tiny mistakes she makes. Her mother is beyond stubborn - she has to get her way no matter what. And she is full of pride and hates people telling her what really is right. Launa also had a younger brother, and her dad was most definitely her favourite parent - he was super chilled out about everything.

One day, her mother had gone too far. She had started getting mad at her younger brother, Nick, and she was being downright rude and was threatening to hurt him. Launa had to step in to protect her brother, since her dad was out. She told her mother to leave Nick alone, and although her mum was pissed, Launa didn't care. She snatched the spatula away from her mum, and swore right back at her - and her mother was surprised, seeing as it was completely out of character. The house was a train-wreck that day, until Launa's dad came home. He had seen the havoc between his family, and he himself was done with his moody wife, so he asked the children to make their way to his old home - where their grandma lived.

Launa trekked through the towns with her brother (their dad was set to come a few weeks later), and so they made it to their grandma's house. However, their dad started his trek a few days later and he got stuck in a storm. He was lost after that, leaving Launa alone with her brother Nick and her grandma. She grasped onto the small inch of hope that her dad was about there - but, he was gone. For good.

But she had to stay positive, for her younger brother. She sang him songs, and told him happy stories about their dad coming back. She remained optimistic - because she couldn't drag her brother down in the dumps. She learnt how to be a smooth liar and act like she was completely fine, always feigning being joyful when near her small brother. She became a great listener, as she let him do most of the talking. She loved her brother to bits and she remained determined to find her dad.

So she left her brother at home with grandma, and went around the area of the storm - helping officers find any victims. She never found her dad. But she did find a woman who had miraculously survived, and although she was underneath a few broken trees- she was alive! She helped the woman to the hospital, and watched as the woman was united with her family. The smiles on their faces were priceless - and she became in love with the notion of a simple smile. She loved helping people and making them smile, which aspired her to be what she was.

When she went back home, though, her brother was packing his bags. Apparently, because her dad had passed away, he had to live with his mum because Launa was only twelve around that time, and she wasn't old enough to be his guardian and his grandma was too old to be able to do anything anymore. So she hugged him very tightly, and told him to be careful. She also asked him to contact her all the time - but that never happened.

But she clung onto that hope. She remembered the smiles she shared with him, and remembered how the only way she managed to stay positive was to act positive. And that though she couldn't do much about her dad or brother, she could still help others. Her grandmother passed away not long after that, and Launa had to move to Eastville, as a boarder. Because of her positivity and cheerfulness, she definitely goes against all the stereotypes of the snobby Eastville school.

"Chris," Launa stopped him as he was running by, "What's going on? Why did everybody disappear?"

"Yo, Lo," Chris said, smiling at his comment, "Just go to the gymnasium. But yeah, everybody over the age of 15 disappeared. I'm not sure why. In fact, I'm panicking deep inside right now, but I'm trying to not show it."

"Okay," Launa said, unconvinced, "I'm trusting you!"

Anderson Rivas was shocked, and scared. He'd only felt this feeling once before. That was when his parents died in a car crash three years ago. Ever since then, Anderson has had to support himself and his little sister Annaleise with jobs at Wal-Mart, as a Pizza delivery boy, and as a restaurant server even though he was still going to school at Westshine middle- he was there on a scholarship. Everybody else at his school was far richer than him. His parents dying brought him a sense of responsibility, at the age of 14. Anderson has had to control his temper at home, to shield his little sister from the pains of the outside world. The two siblings live in a hotel, and Anderson has placed Annaleise in the hotel's daycare center. Annaleise is all Anderson has in this life, and if she's gone, he has nothing to live for.

"Andy," Olive said gently, "What are you thinking about?"

Quickly snapping out of his thoughts, Anderson gazed at the girl he had crushed on so many years ago, before he realized that he liked boys, not girls, and was homosexual. Surprised that she knew his name, he responded.

"I was thinking about Annaleise," Anderson said, noticing Olive's confusion, "My sister."

"Oh, that's right," Olive responded, "I haven't seen her in such as long time!"

"Yes, well, we've been busy," Anderson said, "Trying to keep ourselves afloat."

"I sincerely hope things get better for you," Olive told Anderson sadly, "But under our recent… circumstances, everybody's outlook is looking rather grim."

"Yes, well, I have to go now," Anderson replied.

Amadeus walked towards the two, with his usually sparkling eyes now tainted with sadness.

"Andy, Olly, what's up?" Amadeus asked sadly. "Things don't look too good."

"What happened?" Olive asked curiously.

"Well, we've found out that we can actually still call people," Amadeus said, "Micki says that in the old FAYZ, it wasn't really like that. So it's good that we can still call people, but I'm worried about other things that may be different about this "new FAYZ". Anyway, I received a call from Charlie."

"Who?" Anderson asked.

"Oh, it's this one guy that you'll meet later," Amadeus answered, "Charlie Dowling- huge party guy. He's homeschooled, but his parents are RICH."

(Author's Note: "this one guy you'll meet later", a bit of foreshadowing there?)

"I still don't understand," Olive said, "Why did you look so sad?"

"Because Charlie called me," Amadeus responded, "And said that a house caught fire. Probably the adults were cooking, and when they vanished, something went wrong… The homeschooled kids in the area helped put it out, but a little boy… was found inside the house… motionless. He passed away." Amadeus gazed off into the distance.

"We don't even know what else could happen, or what could go wrong," Amadeus continued, "All we can tell ourselves is that when we turn 15, we're going to transport out of the FAYZ, and back to our family. I think that's why everybody isn't freaking out right now. Also, I heard that a kid named Elijah Smith was really helpful in putting out the fire, he come be of use."

(Author's Note: Yup, remember the names Elijah Smith and Charlie Dowling. They're two other OC's that will be coming up soon.)

"My family is here, in the 'FAYZ 2.0'," Anderson said, turning away, "I need to go find Annaleise and check on her."

Anderson turned away and walked out of the cafeteria, and into the parking lot. Ignoring the sounds of car alarms and police sirens going off, he continued walking. He was going to find Annaleise, and he was going to protect her. At 6 feet tall, tanned, rather muscular, with short, light brown hair and dark brown eyes, he was equipped for the tasks ahead.
