Character list for dystopian story

I just came up with an idea for a new story today.  A post-apocalyptic story where all minorities in the "Ruling States of Apeericon" must conform or be killed.  My story will follow six different young adults as they are sent to a torturous theme park.  Think Goosebumps Horrorland meets Concentration Camps.  This story sounds incredibly depressing, and gruesome now... It's also a story of hope, love, and friendship I promise.

Something you need to know, last names are also gone, instead everyone has their own letters and numbers.  Example - A8494, AA6224, AAA0053.  They go A0001-A9000, then B, and so on.  Then they start AA0001-AA9000, then BB0001-BB9000, etc.  Then again with 3 of the letter.  Those born in January are A's-C's (some C's roll over into February), November and December get V, W, X, Y, and Z.
