Allen, my smoking comment was directed to Lynn, I think you might want to change Nikki's part on your post :/
I was wondering, if I created a full student that has been in the detention room for more than a decade, holding the record of one 8f the longest running punishments at he Academy, would it affect the story?
Red was coompletely oblivious to the fact that Nikki might have misinterpreted what he said as romantic affection towards her. He was after all a complete amateur when it came to romance. As such, he was clueless as to how she would think of his answer.
"Sure, the two of us can hang out to explore the Academy, find out more about the place we will live. I am not too comfortable with the others yet, maybe with the exception of the one called Jake. Who knows, maybe we could be roommates too!"
It didn't escape Red's attention that Nikki felt uncomfortable towards Lynn, but with all the people gathering at the table, he didn't have time to process the possible scenarios.
He finished his food, always hesitsnt to use the kitchen knife, because ofhis fear of hem, wiped himself clean in a gentlemanly manner, drank some water, because he found the foud a bit too salty for his tastes and stood up.
"I need a smoke before I go crazy..." he thought.
He adjusted his tie and politely said to everyone:
"I was pleased to make your acquaitance...Now if you will excuse me..."
Although he was talking to everyone, he was only concerned with Nikki, Jake, Poppy and Henry, the only people good enough to share a word or a gesture. He didn't forget about Poppy and he saw her gesture too, but right now he prioritized his vice above all else. He joyfully said to Nikki:
"I would ask you to come along, but I would be shameless if I tried toseperate you from your cousin..."
Then he walked two steps, stood next to Lynn and whispered without looking at her, sothat the others would not understand he was talking to her.
"I am going to look for a safespot to smoke...If you care about it you can help me with it." He said and headed out.

I have literally rofled with every single name Henry has been given, with wannabe-Godzilla at the very top.
"Hesitation to my gesture, supports that her cousin helped her meet new people, meaning she doesn't easily make contact with new people, a few subconscious looks at her cousin when I and the others responded negatively to her attitude, which comes from sincere concern for her, possibly love too, but level-headed enough not to make up a fuss, indicating that Nikki knows of her cousin's bad attitude. Conclusion up-to-now: Nikki is an introverted person. Not good at socializing with people, but does so if she has a chance. From what happened previously, she is somehow related to insects, maybe her power, not sure about it. Amanda is the only person on the island she can rely on, being her cousin and a senior." were the thoughts that stormed Red's head.
Nikki's kind and hesitant response wasn't something surprising, not with the quiet and calm personality she has shown so far. The insects that gathered were obviously attracted to her, but Red didn't mind. For God's sake he was eating with a lizard-man who could eat him if his diet was different. At least he wouldn't have to pay attention to Henry's lesson, he probably had all the studying material somewhere in his head, fortunately for him. He couldn't find a single scenario in which he could focus with a bipedal reptile teaching him.
Leaving his imaginative scenarios aside and returning to reality, Red replied to Nikki:
"I hope that your support for your cousin does not make me a devil for not liking her...Being a new student myself and not the extroverted type, I might add, I am not very familiar with such a forced way of socializing...You can say that you are on the few people that I took the initiative to talk with."
He faintly laughed. His tone was friendly and a tad bit playful. Not in a provocative way, he wasn't flirting, but he tried to make Nikki feel more comfortable, because, introductions aside, everyone was a stranger. The not-so-willing-to-speak ones made matters worse. And unfortenately, when they did speak, it would be in an aggresive way that only worsened the situation. At least he should try to make acquaintances, since it would be essential if he wanted to make it at the Academy.
His attention was diverted for an instance to Cordelia. It didn't matter what she said, or that she spoke rudely to a teacher (even if he was of the poikilotherm species), but the fact that she reminded him of her presence and from that his need to smoke.
"Do me a favor and don't speak for the remainder of our meal..." was what Red thought when she spoke and gulped, but to no avail.

Red was one of the people annoyed by Amanda's blabbering. Arrogance was one of the things he hated the most, especially since his own arrogance was what killed his father and gifted him the scar. He knew that mixing up with arrogant people had it's price so he had an aggresive behavior so he would get on their bad side. That's what he did now too. So he turned to Henry and said:
"Teacher, I can understand the importance of teaching people to control their powers, but I see no point to that if your power is a super-ego"
His tone was obviously sarcastic and from what he knew it would cause trouble, since he was a newbie standing up against a senior. He took a quick look at Amanda.
"Small marks on the knees that indicate athletic activity, probably from a field sport, same marks on her fists, indicating experience in fist fights...add the fact that she might have a power with offensive capabilities and it's obvious that she would slaughter me. Well, consequences are the price to an action, so whatever..."
He also noticed the more composed and rather shy Nikki.
"On the other side, I see that polar opposites attract each other. My name is Red, nice to meet you, Nikki." He said and extended his hand in a friendly gesture.
He also gave a friendly nod to Poppy, whom he noticed earlier, but was unable to find a good way to start a conversation with her.

Red hastingly replied to the teacher's nod, by swiftly sitting on a chair of his own. He was completely oblivious to how school cafeterias work in general and, as such, he was unaware that he needn't have to ask for permission. At least he exhibited a good gesture to the teacher so as to not make a bad impression, at least to those who were ignorant of his presence. Not that it mattered to him, he mainly wanted to eat his food, get done with it quickly and find a place to light a cigarette, a desire that grew stronger by the arrival of another girl, who to a person judging by sight would be called a dangerous one, like a hoodlum. But to Red, the only thing that mattered was the faint smell of a recently burnt Zippo lighter oil, which made his senses go astray.
"God or whatever great power rules this universe is certainly messing with me today....From all the people arriving at the Academy, the one sitting nearby must be a smoker and remind me of my torture!" Red thought, but his thoughts changed when he realized that she was around his age, thus sharing the same problem with him, which could prove an asset, because now two people could co-operate to solve it. With that in mind, he decided to come up with this topic later, concerned that the teacher would be not so eager to keep it a secret.
Instead, he decidced to reply to Jake, after he took a quick look at the two women who took a sit afterwards, both of them having European traits, with one of them blending them with American ones, or so he thought.
"Same here...and there is too much to find out about. To be frank, there is so much mystery about this academy that the invitation was good enough for me to come and satisfy my curiosity, which is the main reason I came here. Little by little I am gathering pieces of a puzzle, only to solve them later. But enough about me, what brings you here?"

Added my character's image at the bottom of my CS. The only changes from the picture is the huge scar on his face and the color of his eyes.
I hope that assumptions about trivial things about characters in my post do not cross the metagaming border, as I am not going to go any further like determining a person's past and power out of thin air...but if it is considered metagaming, please say so so I can adjust it.
Jack was aware that Sky had a double personality, but he was unsure if she knew about it, despite her other self telling him not to mention anything to her. Sky's symptoms, however, were very obvious and he couldn't come up with a good excuse to explain to her why she has them. He knew that he couldn't talk to her about another personality, in fear that by revealing something like this, along with her exhaustion and mental pressure her powers gave her, it could cause some serious damage to her mental health. On the other hand, he couldn't explain memory loss, fatigue and exhaustion without a plausible story. He remained silent, until he could find a good answer to her question. Besides, that was what Jade asked too and odds were that she wouldn't want Sky to damage the body they shared, so she would have a reason for asking that.
"Come on, Jack, be resourceful...Sky's health is on the line here. Find something that sounds reasonab...Wait a moment! Sounds, sound...That's it!!" Jack though.
He put his hands on Sky's shoulders and looked her directly in her eyes, to amplify his persuasion.
"I thought that it would be better to keep you uninformed about this, until we figured out a solution. Truth is, Sky, that you indeed fell asleep after us escaping the ship. The events that followed are true, we weren't quarantined immediately after our escape and we did go to a mansion, my mansion. But, in your case, while you were not conscious, your subconsciously used your powers to interact with those around you. It seems like your sound abilities amplify your sensitiveness to your surroundings, making you capable of both interacting with other people and navigating through your environment. I recall you are aware of both of your abilities, since you have already experienced them. I believe that after you get a hang of your powers, you will control them in a degree that doesn't produce this kind of side-effects." Jack replied, without giving any visual sign of lying.
He then thought that the others couldn't possibly come up with the exact same story, so he continued in a joking tone:
"By the way, you were sleeptalking, sometimes not making sense. You called me Bob once and I kinda felt like a truck-driver on a highway, listening to country music. You even gave yourself another name once. So don't think too deeply if somebody calls you Jade or something similar. He will be teasing you!"
