Type: alien Aura: sunshine yellow Scent: green leave Physical Appearance: Adam looks much younger than he really is. He is a teenager but, looking at him, you'd think he was still in middle school. He has short brown hair and an innocent smile.  Having grown up under the care of Project Clean Slate, Adam knows very little about the human world. As a result, he is extremely curious and easy to please. He finds joy in something as simple as making toast. He's good at heart and is very innocent. Needing help learning the mores and norms of the human world, Adam sometimes gets frustrated with being so "stupid." Despite the difficult transition to human life, Adam is a high-spirited person with child-like curiosity. Before Adam was born, his incubation pod was on the ship that crashed in Roswell in 1947. The secret government organization Project Clean Slate found the ship and the incubation pod. When Adam hatched, Sheriff Valenti, the head of Clean Slate, became the only father Adam ever knew. His life was full of experiments and tests. The only knowledge of the human world he had access to was through picture books and what the guards told him. When Michael Guerin is captured by Clean Slate, Adam is amazed to discover that there are other aliens on Earth like him. Even more amazing, Adam learns that not all people grow up underground. Michael takes Adam under his wing and promises to take care of him. In a risky escape attempt, Adam manages to stumble into the desert. Michael isn't so lucky--he's still trapped in the underground compound. Afraid of the big new world, Adam somehow manages to find Liz. Helping Liz and her friends rescue Michael, Adam, under the influence of DuPris, destroys the Clean Slate Compound and kills Valenti. The teens are afraid that Adam might be dangerous since they don't realize DuPris is controlling him. After DuPris reveals his terrible purpose, Michael comes to Adam's rescue. Michael and Adam live in the little housing unit attached to the UFO Museum. Adam explores the human world, finding joy in simple things. He struggles with understanding human things, like keeping the toilet seat down and other social norms. Michael is patient with him and tries to teach him all he can. Adam is not only interested in the things around him. He also finds himself attracted to people. He falls in love with Liz Ortecho but, much to his dismay, her heart belongs to Max Evans. Adam has to be content with visiting Liz on the dream plane. Adam's life is suddenly cut short when DuPris kills him for no reason at all. DuPris had been making a simple point and to demonstrate the power of the Stone of Midnight, DuPris shot the stone's energy at Adam, piercing him through the heart. |
