Major characters

Dax Jones: The book's principal protagonist. Dax is a teenage boy who lives with his annoying stepsister Alice, and his abusive stepmother Gina. He possesses the power of shapeshifting.
Gideon Reader: A fair-haired, freckled telekinetic. Gideon enjoys football, and has a penchant for chocolate of all kinds.
Lisa Hardman: A somewhat spoiled rich girl who hates being at Cola Club, and avoids interaction with the other students. Lisa possesses extremely strong psychic powers, but refuses to accept them or be trained how to use them, causing her to be constantly tormented by visions and various other paranormal communication.
Mia: A gifted healer. Mia is kind, caring and gentle, as well as being a vegetarian.
Principal Patrick Wood: The principal of Tregarren College. He is the book's principle antagonist, although his role as such is only made certain toward the end of the book. Wood possesses the power of glamour, which he uses to gain the respect of the students of Cola Club without their knowledge.
Owen Hind: A government official who helps to find new Colas and bring them to Tregarren.
