Red was quite dizzy during the cruise to the Academy. Not because of nausea, but from the vast amount of info he had absorbed from the other passengers. Random names, gossip, chit-chat and the like, along with their appearances, clothes and features. He tried to arange this collosal amount of useless info in one of the furhtest chambers in his mind, his "thrash can" rooms, so as to not mingle with the other information he has accumulated this far. That said, it was obvious that the ship's arrival to its destination was a huge relief for him. He wasn't in a hurry to disembark, knowing that by following the mass of students would only result in more unnescessary information and for him it would be a torture.
He waited patiently for the crowd to get off the ship and move a bit for him to disembark. It would seem that he was not the only one who had this idea, since another girl was waiting for the mass to clear as well. Red took a glance of the girl and subconsiously compared her to any info he had on his archive.
"Female, age ranges from 16 to 20, Asian-like features, most probably Korean or Chin....Damn, I did it again! Stop messing with other people's privacy, dimwit!" he thought, trying to fight his urge to find out about a person, which cost him a life without friends.
He waited for the girl to go down first, mainly because he somehow felt that this was his personal way of apologizing to her and then he set his own two feet on the shore. He was finally at the mysterious Academy 218, which he could not find anything about in his research, something that scared him. There were not many things that Red could not find out, so, when he couldn't, he couldn't help but be entraced...and scared of them, that being the main reason he accepted the invitation to the school. He cleared his suit off the dust of the cruise ship, because he thought that he should at least be stylish, to make up for this gruesome scar on his face, which he considered a curse. Being far enough from the crowd to not listen to anything except from a buzz, he headed for the Auditorium. It was chilly, so he regretted not taking the coat from his luggage, but he could not help it, since the staff would take care of it.
Upon arriving to the Auditorium, he once again suffered from more "thrash" information, since he was cooped up in a room along with every other new student. It was fortunate that at some point the Director of the Academy started his speech, introducing himself and familiarizing the students with the school regulations.
"Important info...The Director's name, a shared room with another student, main point of the Academy is for students to hone their powers (which, frankly I don't have the slightest clue about), there is a detention room, no fighting outside the Arena (not that I care, I suck at fighting), but most importantly no illegal substances...Which means that I can't damn smoke, because I am underage! I am screwed!" Red thought, with the last thoughts causing him a shock.
After composing himself from the initial shock of the restriction of his favourite vice, Red, along with the group headed for the banquet. He was starving from the trip and his brain required more energy to function than normal, making matters worse. He quickly examined the whole room to find a place to make himself comfortable. All the tables had people, others more and others less, so, if he couldn't help sitting alone, he should at least find a table whose occupants he could speak with if there was a need to. His eyes stuck to a group of people who shared the same table. Classy in their clothing style, even if one of them had his suit torn and radiating a form of elegance, probably from a noble family or something similar.
"Three people, two of them Latin-American, the third one half Latin-American, the other half, I cannot determine. Their features indicate some kind of bond, probably brothers, although not so sure about the third one. Classy clothes, custom made for their bodies, indicator of high income. Yep, this totally suits my tastes!" Red thought, not realizing his urge took over him again.
He slowly walked to the group of three, not creating a fuss for his felllow students and upon reaching them, he introduced himself and said:
"Greetings...My name is Red Winston, pleased to make your acquaintance. Would you mind if I shared a seat with you?"

Thank you Allen, for both accepting me and providing me with advice!
To be frank, I am not a veteran on RPing, that's why I might be rough around the edges, but I just want to have a nice RP. If I wanted a story that revolved around my character I would write a comic or a novel...Thanks for the compliment :D
Sorry to anyone that read my original character sheet and thought that I created a smart-ass character. I hope that the new approach is better aknowledged!
Thanks boss! Don't worry about me overusing Red too much. I only want him for when we are on the mansion and for providing the team with equipment, gadgets and knowledge.
Name: Jared "Red" Winston
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Red
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 82 kg
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Light Brown
Ethnicity: American - Greek
Physical Appearance: Red is a good looking young man, seen always wearing expensive suits or other formal clothes. He takes care of his appearance, thus enhancing his already good looks, to the point that some (women) would even call him an idol, if it wasn't for the huge scar that runs diagonally from his right eyebrow to the end of the left of his lips. He looks after his body, which is toned instead of bulky. His skin colour however is slightly dark-toned, a trait he inherited from his Greek mother. His most distinct feature however is his piercing gaze with his light brown eyes, which also give a hint of yellow. Red's gaze is what some would call charming, others would call arrogant, but everyone would agree one thing: it is intimidating, despite his looks. He is rarely seen unshaved and he only has some hair on his hands, considering it "too much of a hassle" to take care of those as well, considering they are not bad looking. His face is "symmetric", as he calls it and, according to him, symmetric faces indicate the beauty of a person. His face features include normal-sized ears and nose, faint lips and thin eyebrows. There are no marks on his body, except from a birthmark in his palm and the scar on his face.
Attire: Always seen in suits and other formal clothes, like vests and shirts. He almost always wears ties. He prefers Italian brands and his buying range goes from 2000-5000$ per piece.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Red is usually depicted as being "straight to the point" and hates gossip, because it adds unnescessary info to his memory vault. He is usually not the one to start a conversation, because he knows that most of the topics he could talk fluently about are about the facts he has in his memory which are not interesting to most. He is trying, however, to express his opinion in hopes of not being treated as a freak, as he was many times in the past. However his logical reasoning and his straight to the point attitude can hurt someone who needs emotional support and not guidance. He adapts his "only logic" style, in fear of a possible emotional breakdown, thus pressing himself not to be too emotionally attached to a person, but also tries not to be a total stranger to others. He is, however, trying to help the few people who can cope with him enough to call him friend with his knowledge, at least from an objective perspective. He is allergic to peanuts and loves spaghetti and fish. He also has a deep fear for big knives because of his scar.
Hobbies/Interests: Reading. He usually reads books related to science, or newspapers, but sometimes he goes out of his way to read other genres.
Skills/Talents: -
Prized Possession: -
Quote(s): "How can you possibly not understand?"
History/Bio: Red was born in Greece, when his father, a ship captain, met a woman named Anna there. He grew up in Greece until, at the age of 5, his father came back to take him to America. His life was normal until the first day of school where he realized that his intellectual ability was supreme compared to the other students. Not concerned with anything but gaining knowledge, Red quickly developed the brain of a scientist. By the age of 11 he was already proficient in most forms of science, including chemistry, math, physics, anatomy, forensics and many more. However, his intellectual prowess was what killed his father, when he got himself involved in a case concerning a notorious gang leader who decided to take revenge from the one responsible for his imprisonment. Of course the punishment wasn't only delivered to his surroundings. A gang member cornered him and gifted him a huge scar across his face, to remind him that "not everything is always beautiful", an innuendo for both his face and his life. Being alone, he used his knowledge to involve himself in many businesses, legal and illegal and finally established a name for himself. However there was still more than meets the eye for Red, when he received an invitation to enroll to Academy 218, indicating that his gifts were not as common as he thought.

Powers
Power Class: Cerebral 5
Power: Terrabyte Memory & Understanding Capability
Red has limitless memory capacity and the ability to access all of it. He sees/reads something once, he never forgets it. This also enable him to make out things from facts that others should not understand (i.e scratch marks and small hair would most probably indicate that the person who has them owns a cat). When it comes to practical information, as long as it solely requires intellectual ability (i.e math), he can understand it and use it to it's fullest. His powers give him the ability to make estimations and predictions based on probability, although not absolute, making him a great tactician.
Data Vision (Unlocked Later): When Red reaches a point where he can access his info at a much faster speed rate, he is going to be able to look into things and receive the data they possess instictively, with the data appearing next to the object or person in an imaginative written form. That way, he will be able to see weak spots, vulnerabilities and other data of anything he sees. This will also function as a GPS mapping system, granting him a detailed, panoramic vision of his environment, to any area he has visited.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
In order for Red to not overload from big masses of new info, he has to organise them daily in "memory chambers", based on their size, value, time he learned them and credibility. He also has to access his memory chambers, a proccess which requires him to stay motionless and practically shut himself off from the outside world, rendering him unable to talk, hear or feel anything. Red can't make deductions out of thin air and needs to have the sufficient data to do so. False or insufficient info can also be stored in his head and he will use them as long as he doesn't find out. His estimations can also be off due to imponderable factors, since he can't estimate them too when estimating probabilities. His brain is also forced to remember forever traumatic experiences too, sometimes not being able to keep them properly stored in one of his chambers, popping out when he is emotionally charged. Finally, anything Red learns doesn't nescessarily means that he can use it as long as it is practical, as long as it requires something more than just his mind (for example, he can't use a martial art that requires him to be in a certain body condition). Aside from his powers, he is just a normal human, which can be killed normally.
Other: He is a regular smoker, but, with the school rules, he has to hide his habit due to his age.

Truth is, I happen to want to add one more character to my characters' pool too. He is not a Supernova, not powers either, just an associate of Jack.
Name: Jared "Red" Winston
Codename: Red
Age: 19
Appearance:
Power: -
Sub abilities: -
Growth: -
Weakness (es): The weaknesses of any normal human.
Weapon(s): -
Short bio: Red was a young prodigy, destined to excel at anything he wished. Having an IQ of over 200, Red was, at the age of 9, much smarter than all the boys his age, and most of the people older than him. The only thing that mattered to him was to satisfy his hunger for knowledge and his curiosity. He was excited with all fields of science, resulting in him becoming an expert at chemistry, math, forensics, engineering, computer programming and many others. But his talents got the better of him. At the age of 16, his parents were killed because of his involvement in a police case against a notorious gang leader. Considering it his fault, Red stopped using his amazing gifts and instead turned into a drug addict. He lost his home and his reputation along with it due to his drug habits, until, at the age of 18, Jack found him and offered him a chance to fix his life and return to the right path. He is now Jack's right-hand man, his most trusted associate and, more importantly, the only person Jack ever considered a friend.
Other: His drug habits are now dormant, but his worst fear is that he might relapse again sometime. His habits still didn't affect his intellectuall prowess, but if he relapses again, he might as well do so for good. He is also somewhat eccentric, due to him never being sentimental and always seeking the scientific truth in everything. Up to date he is a firm believer that logic is above all else and that emotions only cloud judgement.

Seeing as Al was still dizzy from his previous attack, Jack took back his hand and instead walked to Sky. He took Sky to one of the empty cells they were kept and closed the door behind them, after taking care of closing the small window from which the guards were keeping an eye of them. After inspecting the room closely, he found the secret cameras in it, taking out any wires that were connected to them to turn off the mics they were equipped with.
"How stupid of me...I could have used the cameras to escape my cell before. They were inorganic..." he thought and faintly laughed.
After making sure that no one could listen to them he said:
"We can talk freely now, dear. No one from inside or outside the cell is listening to us. If it makes you feel more comfortable you can also use your powers to contain the voices. Now tell me, what is bothering you? You seem uneasy."

He can join us in the mansion...I figure that Drakeonis' next post or the one after the next will send us back for the next arc, so he will jump in the story rather quickly!
"Nice to see you too Sky..." Jack said in sarcasm, but all in good spirit and messed her hair.
He walked to Al and offered a helping hand, figuring that the new ability Jack used was at least going to cause a serious loss of balance due to the extreme sound. Luckily for him, he was protected from his own powers.
"Come on Al, you' ve had tougher situations to deal with than me playing with a big firework! By the way, where is Allen? I remember he returned to the cemetery, so he should be around here..." he said, while waiting for Al to get his hand.
While waiting, he turned to Sky again, who asked if they were returning home.
"I've managed to reason with the head here, who seemed to understand that our value is worth more than keeping us here in a cell. Be patient and I promise you that in a few hours you can make all the calls you like, while tasting my secret spaghetti recipe!" he replied and turned to Jason "Nice fight there, Jason, although you should never hit a woman, it makes men look bad. Be a gentleman, or, trust me when I say that you are going to have some tough luck with women and, God, you don't want that."
Finally, he turned to the female agent and said to her before she could get up:
"Before you go up against us again, which is something that I really don't want to happen, mainly because you would most probably shred my in seconds, contact your superior. He will tell you that we have come to an agreement. Oh, and as much as you may not like it, he might order you to live with us. It was an offer I gave him and, judging from the fact that he trusts you, he will tell you to keep an eye on us to keep us in check. By the way, if he does tell you to follow us, please wear something civilian-looking. You can't come along with a soldier's outfit mademoiselle......" he paused for a second and continued ".......what is your name by the way?'
