Adam J. Powell (also known as Number Six, and born December 20, 1976 in Wales) is the co-founder of Neopets, who launched the website with Donna Williams on November 15, 1999, starting from an idea they had in 1997 while sitting in a dingy little computer room, possibly while eating kebabs or pizza. Adam currently focuses on the technical and programming aspects of Neopets, and is still the head of developers for the game.

Prior to founding Neopets, he was involved in Shout! Advertising, a UK-based advertising company which operated the third largest click-through program on the Internet by mid-1999. He also founded Powlex in March 1997, which designed and sold online banner advertising, and Netmagic in July 1999, which focused on web page design.

Powell is mentioned in the hall of fame at his secondary school, Collingwood College, although he had a self-described "spectacular failure at university." He is also claimed to be a former member of MENSA with an IQ of 174.

Powell has two cats in California called Sarah and Chani. In the United Kingdom he has four cats called Oscar, Daisy, Bill and Ben.

Plot Summaries

Sacrificers

Main Article: Sacrificers

On September 29, 2000, #6 was voted to be sacrificed to Mumbo Pango, ironically the 6th victim to be chosen. He was tied to a circular wooden board and thrown down the river. As he floated down the river, Pop Tart covered her eyes so she couldn't watch, Tiger Catcher happily waved goodbye and Bye-Gon Jinx watched silently in disbelief. The river ended in a waterfall, which #6 went over screaming as he plunged to his death.
