Canon Personality:
AU History:
Like his canon self, Shinichi grew up as the only child of mid-tier celebrities. At an early and impressionable age he discovered classic detective literature, and he decided that he wanted to become a real life version of Holmes (or the local universe equivalent). He committed to spending the next ten years of his life learning every skill and area of knowledge that he thought he would need for that goal. Of course this meant completely abandoning any attempt at a normal childhood, but who needs that?
At around the age of twelve Shinichi became aware of the paranormal side of the world. He spent some time in deep denial of this, as it hardly fit the highly logical view of the world he’d spent years developing by this point. But eventually the evidence mounted up to a level he couldn’t deny, and he decided that if the paranormal side of the world existed, then he was going to be a detective for that side of the world too. But for that to happen he needed to understand it.
At the time Shinichi’s spiritual strength was not high enough to learn any magic himself, and he honestly wasn't very interested in it.. He focused on learning how to recognize the presence of the paranormal and understanding how to work with it in situations where it affected his cases.
Shinichi solved his first independent case at the age of fourteen, and from there on began to develop a reputation as an amateur detective specializing in cases that had been dismissed as unsolvable or impossible by everyone else. In addition to all the cases he came across, he also began taking cases that he was led to through the presence of ghosts or through the sense for magic he had developed. In those cases Shinichi made a point of gathering enough evidence to make the case to the police without touching on the less believable parts of his process.
Now at seventeen, he has arrived in Kaisou following rumors of a lead on a case he has been pursuing for the past few weeks.
AU Personality Differences: In canon, Shinichi was extremely against the idea of magic or ghosts or anything supernatural as the explanation for anything. He took it as a personal offense whenever anyone suggested it, and considering just how many times the supposed ghost or spirit was a hoax created by criminals, he had good reason. He is still highly annoyed when he comes across hoaxes trying to pin the blame on something supernatural, but he doesn't dismiss it completely now.
Also because Shinichi has not (yet) gone through the whole Conan experience, he's a bit more lonely and awkward about people than his canon self. He is also far less paranoid, less stressed and more reckless.

Canon Personality:
- Stubborn
- Intelligent
- Curious
- Idealistic
- Tenacious. Once he has the solution to a case or a criminal in sight, he does not give up.
- Grumpy and sarcastic, but can be like an enthusiastic child when it comes to things he likes.
- Walking encyclopedia of obscure facts, which he is more than happy to share despite the opinions of anyone else in his vicinity.
- Adrenaline junkie
- Prone to drama
- Believes in justice, but is more than a little flexible when it comes to the law
- A complete geek for all things detectives and mysteries. Also a big fan of soccer.
- Ridiculously competent at everything except having a normal life.
- Self-sacrificing
- Kind of a brat
- Bad at understanding people, outside of criminal psychology. Absolutely terrible at making friends, mostly because it hasn't occurred to him yet that that's something he needs. Covers up for his terrible people skills by going on all in on drama.
