Personality: Once upon a time, Adam Milligan was a completely normal boy. He had a loving mother, lots of friends, and got good grades at school. What few behavioral issues he caused during his youth were quickly dealt with and any resentments he carried toward his absentee father were eventually worked through once John re-appeared in his life just after his twelfth birthday. By the time he'd graduated from high school, Adam was a well-balanced young man who enjoyed the typical things other teenage boys liked – girls and cars, primarily – and had aspirations to become a doctor. He was fun-loving, intelligent, and many said he was fairly mature for his tender age.
Then he was tracked down and murdered by a ghoul.
For all intents and purposes, that should have been the end of Adam Milligan. In a way, it was, too, because the young man who was brought back to life by the angels was not the same young man who had been murdered by that ghoul.
No, that Adam was troubled and mistrusting. He was angry at the life he'd had taken from him and furious that it had happened solely because of who his father happened to be. He held major resentment toward his half-brothers for reasons he couldn't even explain. He hated the fact that they were so close, hated the fact that he wasn't a part of their dynamic, yet also hated the fact that they wanted to include him in that dynamic. He was mistrusting of them from the start and was motivated solely by the fact that he wanted desperately to see his mother again. Whereas before he would have at least listened to another view on the subject, the Adam that was raised from the dead wasn't interested in such things. The angels had told him what needed to happen and, as far as he was concerned, that was all that mattered.
Ultimately, Adam's common sense did kick in but it was too late. His own stubbornness had left him deaf to reason for too long. Just as he began to come back to himself and realize that maybe his brothers weren't the enemy after all, and certainly weren't the reason he and his mother had died in the first place, Michael was using him as a vessel.
And then he was in Lucifer's cage.
It goes without saying that the cage has changed Adam. The man he is now is barely a shadow of the man he once was. The joy he once found in life has been forgotten, as has the hope he held out that he'd someday be reunited with his mother again. The blind trust he once had in the world around him, and the people in his life, has been shattered, and the resentment and hatred he carried toward the Winchesters, as well as his own, unfortunate, lot in life, has only grown during the time he's been left alone, forgotten, in a place where only the devil should be.
Of course, there's still hope for him. He isn't broken entirely. His mind is still his own, his thoughts and actions are driven by logic. He's ever the bit as intelligent as he was before and he's certainly capable of being just as dryly sarcastic and caustic as ever. With time and support, he could theoretically bounce back from the brink. He could continue to grow, and flourish, and perhaps even someday forgive himself for the mistakes he's made and the world for screwing him over so many times.
For now, though, the only things keeping Adam going are his resentments, his anger, and a strong desire to survive despite all the odds that are stacked against him.
Abilities/Powers: Adam is a Winchester (by blood) and therefore is one of the few who can be Michael's vessel. He's intelligent, as evident by his choice to go into the medical field, and because of his mother's occupation does have some medical (triage/first aid) experience. He seems to be a quick study and his knack for taking things in stride is something that can come in handy. However, he has very limited knowledge of the supernatural world and no special abilities of his own whatsoever, magical or otherwise.
Items/Weapons: Adam will arrive with nothing more than the clothes he's wearing.
