Aristotle Adamo

Aristotle Adamo, more commonly known by the portmanteau Armo, is a protagonist appearing in the Monster, Villain, Hero arc of the Gone Series.

Description
Armo is 6"5 and blond, with a square jaw and blue eyes. He is described as extremely good-looking, with perfect teeth and a nice smile. He has serious ODD, meaning he can't follow orders. He likes fast cars and views himself as unique. Armo has been shown to be brave, kind and street-smart, but also lazy, not overly intelligent and easygoing. He loves furry animals, particularly dogs.

Powers and abilities
Armo was injected with an ounce of an ASO, presumably ASO-1 or ASO-2. He was also injected with polar bear DNA, and so his morph greatly resembles one.

He is larger than usual in this form. His exact size is unknown, but he's large enough for his clothes to be ripped. He's covered with polar bear fur, warming him, but also protecting him from extreme heat. Armo's teeth are also very sharp, and he bites people during combat, which has shown to be effective. He stands on two legs and is so fast he's almost a blur (but he's not nearly as fast as Shade Darby). He has razor-sharp claws and has greatly enhanced durability, strength and agility. He is more than a match for Drake Merwin, although he is unable to kill him.

Appearances
Armo first appears driving home from school. He goes too fast and crashes, and so the government use him as a test subject for the ASO virus. He turns into a creature resembling a polar bear but defies orders and is gassed. He is freed while Dekka escapes the Ranch.
 * Monster

He appears again later on, attacking guards as Dekka breaks out. He travels with her to Perdido Beach, where he orders a Big Mac in the McDonald's. He journeys with her to fight Napalm, Drake and Abaddon, and is defeated. He and Dekka go to Sam and Astrid's house as a hideout at the end of the book.

After leaving Sam and Astrid's house, Armo and Dekka go to Vegas. Armo gets his own motorcycle as people are used to seeing him and Dekka on a motorcycle together, and if they each have their own bikes, they will be less obvious. They attempt to stop Dillon Poe, who is getting people to either kill each other, or themselves. However, they cannot get near to him through the throngs of people and have to get out of there. They stay in a hotel in Vegas where they meet up with Shade, Malik, and Cruz. Armo takes Malik and Cruz upstairs so that Dekka can talk with Shade alone. In the battle to stop Dillon Poe, Armo manages to guide many people away from the flames, leading them to safety.
 * Villain

Hero At the beginning of Hero, the Rockborn Gang is staying in a suite at Caesars Palace at Las Vegas. General Eliopoulos reaches out to them and asks them to help out in New York after the impact of ASO-7. The government tries to arrest them but they are under the protection of the Mayor. The gang starts strategizing, and he and Cruz leave to defeat the rhinoceros mutant. They have a romantic encounter. When trying to defeat Vector, Armo ends up with a gun pointed at his head by Simone. Later they plan an attack on Grand Central, which is where Vector is at this point. Armo gets a flamethrower and is in the Subway Station with Dekka and Simone, approaching Grand Central. When they arrive, he tries to attack the swarm of insects that is Vector and gets hit by a fish-looking mutant. He also fights a tiger mutant and gets hurt. Francis runs to save him, which works as a distraction for Dekka to help herself. They manage to escape and end up planning another attack. Armo and Cruz leave and raid unoccupied apartments. They end up kissing. The Gang travels by helicopter to chase Vector's trail, and Armo ends up carrying the shell loaded with nerve gas. After Vector's bugs attack them, the helicopter "smashes" into the backyard of a home, and Armo ends up as the only member who survived unscathed. Shade forcibly takes an ambulance with a paramedic onboard and loads the gang onto it. They drive and end up chasing the train by a much faster helicopter. Dekka and Francis, cradled in Armo’s arms travel through n-dimensional space and end up in the moving train – with momentum. Armo ends up hurt, and in the end he de-morphs at the request of Dekka to heal. After defeating Vector, the gang heads to the Pentagon. After talking with General Eliopoulos, they go to Site L, a facility which would work as their base. Here the take a vote deciding whether they were to continue living in a simulation, or cease to exist.

Relationships
Armo and Dekka are allies that respect each other. They never order each other to do anything, they always ask. They barely know each other, but have fought together and appear to be friends.
 * Dekka Talent

Like all morphers, Armo can take on Drake but can't kill him. He doesn't understand how dangerous Drake is, but has already taken a dislike to him. Drake views Armo as an amateur.
 * Drake Merwin

Armo works with these three, along with Dekka. He trusts them and appears to like them, most likely considering them friends, or near enough to.
 * Shade, Malik, and Francis


 * Hugo Cruz Martinez Rojas

Armo respects Cruz as an allie but Cruz secretly fancies him. this is revealed to him in hero when Cruz calls Armo "gorgeous." Armo reacts badly to this as he believes that when people see him, gorgeous is all they think of him and he believes he is so much more than that. Cruz ensures him that he is so much more than just gorgeous, and afterward they proceed to "defeat" the rhinoceros mutant.

While raiding unoccupied apartments Armo has another romantic encounter with Cruz. They are both in morph, and Cruz has taken the resemblance of Jennifer Lawrence hoping it would be to Armo's approval. Later he confronts her, and tells her he likes her for who she is. They kiss after dropping their morphs, and in the end of the series they're still romantically invested in each other. Armo wants to follow Cruz's decision on whether they should keep living in this newly discovered simulation, or cease to exist. Cruz's decision is unknown, and open to imagination, however, the Rockborn Gang wished the decision to be unanimous.
