Canon: Detective Conan
Canon Point: After the conclusion of the Mystery Train Arc (Episode 704)
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: OU
Age: 17, Currently looks and claims to be 7

World Information:
Very similar to the real world, apart from the high number of teenage detectives running around Japan. Private detectives and phantom thieves are celebrities, and the murder rate in Conan's part of Tokyo is insanely high. A secretive criminal syndicate has infiltrated governments and corporations around the world. Geography is very similar, although some fictional areas have been added and a few landmarks have been renamed. Science and technology is similar to present day Japan for the most part.  The largest exception being the Black Organization's invention of Apotoxin-4869, a drug that was created to be the perfect undetectable murder weapon but has a very rare side effect of de-aging the victim instead.

Timeline

Personality:
Conan is brilliantly intelligent, cool-headed, independent and logical. And also a hopeless mystery geek. His ability for deductive logic, extensive knowledge of esoteric topics and analytical ability make him an amazing detective. He is hardly ever wrong, once he has figured a case out. Even cases that have been labeled unsolvable. There is a reason that the media took to calling him a modern day Holmes.

But at the same times, his genius has created problems for him. He is completely unable to resist a mystery. If he finds one, his curiosity will not let him rest until he finds an answer. When in the middle of an investigation he often forgets the danger of hunting suspects in a child's body. He can deduct motives and solve impossibly complicated riddles, but he doesn't really understand people on a personal level. He didn't understand his own feelings for his childhood friend Ran until it was too late to tell her anything, and he has repeatedly missed obvious hints from others about their feelings for him. He can also be very forgetful about his personal life. He never remembers his own birthday, for example. He also has trouble relating to his peers. Even before his shrinking, he was almost completely isolated from his classmates, apart from Ran. He is most comfortable when dealing with adults at a professional level. 

He can be childish sometimes, particularly when someone brings up the topic of soccer or his favorite mystery novels. When he was still Shinichi, he admitted to deliberately putting on a mature and serious attitude so that the police would listen to him. As Conan now he often puts on an act of sugary enthusiasm for the benefit of adults. Especially when at a murder scene and drawing attention to vital clues. He is probably truest to his own personality among his classmates in first grade and among the few people who know his secret. But even with them he is secretive. 

He believes in justice. If finding the truth involves bending or breaking the law, he will do that without a seconds regret. He also believes that there is nothing that justifies the taking of a life, even if it is a murderer's life. Once he told a fellow high school detective that cornering someone with logic and allowing them to commit suicide was the same as committing murder themselves. 

He has the worst luck in the world when it comes to stumbling across cases. He can't go anywhere without dead bodies turning up somewhere. Amusement parks, the mall, bus-rides, the beach, parties, restaurants, even if he is just walking down the street. If there is a crime happening anywhere in the area, he will be there. If there is a way for a person to die, he has probably seen it before. And no matter how horrific the scene, he is never phased. He sees bodies as evidence. Nothing more. 

His forced second childhood has turned him into a kind of deadpan snarker. He is never shy about making acerbic observations about the people around him, though most of those comments never leave his head. Particularly if they're getting off track in a murder investigation. Additionally, his act as a child has made him more than a little manipulative. He is entirely capable of leading adults through an entire investigation without ever letting them know what was really happening. 

He idolizes Sherlock Holmes, and has deliberately modeled himself after the detective. And he is a natural skeptic when it comes to ghosts, aliens, and magic. He has repeatedly run into murderers attempting to disguise their crimes as the works of ghosts or local monster stories. Upon meeting any people with such special powers, he is likely to immediately assume it is a hoax to cover up for another crime. 

Conan has a habit of taking everything on himself. He tends to be very closemouthed about the things that are really bothering him and will never ask for help even if he needs it. He often forgets just how physically vulnerable he is right now, especially when he gets caught up in the chase. One of the few things that frightens him is the possibility of the Black Organization discovering that Shinichi Kudo is still alive. Not just because of what it would mean for his own life, but because it would put a target on everyone he cares about as well.

Key themes:

-Learning how to have a life.
In Shinichi's first childhood, he ignored most of the typical lessons and adventures of childhood in favor of pursuing his interests and growing up as fast as possible. It resulted in amazing skill in detective work, but severely stunted skills in everyday life. Now in his second childhood he is finally learning about all the things he missed.

-Seeking the Truth
One of Conan's primary character motivations is that he needs to find the truth. Even if that truth might be something he didn't want to know, he still needs to find it.

-The Meaning of Being a Detective
At first, Shinichi's primary motivation for seeking a career as a detective was his idolization of Sherlock Holmes. He didn't want to just write about detective like his father, he wanted to become a detective who was like a real life Sherlock Holmes. Before becoming Conan he also mentions the thrill of it, and the feeling of cornering a criminal into a confession with nothing but evidence and his mind. He is also a little in love with the positive attention his skill gets him from the media and police force. But after he becomes Conan, that all changes. He can't take credit for his own work any more, and can barely even get adults to listen to him. Being mentioned in the news becomes dangerous. And he encounters several very difficult cases that result in Conan developing some very strong ideas about what a detective should strive to be.  

Main Motivation:
Bringing an end to the Black Organization, finding a cure and returning back to his life as Shinichi.

Skills:
Age Transformation
Not a true ability, as this was caused by the poison that was given to Shinichi. Once affected by it, he shrank to the size of a child. Rarely he was able to return to his teenage self, but the change is very dangerous to his health and not something he can do often.

Advanced Deductive and Observational Abilities
He's shown himself capable of performing sherlock scans on complete strangers. Meaning he can take basic observations about a stranger's appearance and turn them into deductions on their employment and recent history.
