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.

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.
