Series Timeline
The World of Detective Conan:
Conan' world is very much like modern day Japan. Conan might live in the fictional district of Beika City (an obvious reference to Baker Street), but the vast majority of locations and cultural references mentioned in the series are straight out of the real world.
There are only a few small differences. Detectives and phantom thieves are celebrities, with fan followings and national name recognition. A secretive criminal syndicate known only as the Black Organization has infiltrated multiple levels of government, industry and law enforcement in Japan. And that same syndicate has created a poison untraceable by forensics. What the syndicate does not know is that that poison sometimes has the rare side effect of shrinking the victim instead.
Conan's role in the plot:
Conan is the main character of his series. As such he has been involved in nearly everything that has happened in the 800+ episodes of the series.
He first became involved in the events of the series when he had an encounter with the Black Organization when eh was still Shinichi. The encounter ended when he was forced to take the poison, and left behind by the Organization to die. He woke up ten years younger and several feet shorter. He quickly took the name Conan Edogawa and resolved to investigate and bring an end to the Organization.
This resolve was complicated by the fact that Shinichi now appeared to be seven years old to everyone, and no one was willing to listen to him anymore. Using gadgets created for him by his next door neighbor, he began to discover the tricks of manipulating adults into realizing the solutions to cases.
The other complication being, of course, that Conan seems to be incapable of going more than a day without stumbling across some kind of major crime.
In between the hundreds of unrelated cases,Conan slowly made progress in chasing down the Black Organization. He made contacts with agents from the FBI and CIA who were also investigating. He met a scientist on the run from the Organization who had also taken the same poison. He even became involved in a few successful operations opposing the organization.
But he is still nowhere close to finding a cure or bringing down the organization for good.
Conan's important relationships:
-Conan's single most important relationship is with Ran Mouri. She is his childhood best friend and the girl he is hopelessly in love with. And due to the confusion of his first day as Conan, she is also Conan's caretaker and babysitter. He is often ridden with guilt over being unable to tell her the truth. Because if she ever knew what had really happened to him, she could be put into danger from his enemies in the Organization.
-Heiji Hattori is Conan's self-appointed best friend and sometimes partner in detective work. They are both hopeless mystery nuts.
-Kaitou Kid is Conan's rival. A phantom thief who just happens to look similar enough to Conan's real self to disguise as Shinichi without a mask. A fact that the thief has taken advantage of multiple times. No one annoys Conan more than him. But they also sometimes help each other out. And on those occasions when they need to work together, they make a great team.
-Ai Haibara used to be a member of the organization named Shiho Miyano. She worked on the poison that was given to Shinichi. When she left the organization she took her own poison, shrank, and went in search of Conan. Now she lives with Professor Agasa as she lives the life of a first grader with Conan. She is working to develop a cure for the poison.
-Professor Agasa was Shinichi's next door neighbor. He was the first person to encounter Shinichi after he shrank, and was the one to suggest changing his name and hiding. Agasa also developed all the gadgets Conan uses in his detective work.
PERSONALITY:
The first thing anyone notices about Conan is his intelligence. He knows and understands far too much, even for his true age. Ask him about practically any topic and he can ramble about it knowledgeably. As the seven -year-old he appears to be he attempts to conceal the full extent of his knowledge and deduction skill, but he has never been very successful at this. He tries to appear like an ordinary child, but he doesn't really have clue what normal is.
He is brilliantly intelligent, cool-headed, independent, logical, and acerbic. And hopelessly in love with his childhood friend Ran. His ability for deductive logic, immense knowledge, 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.
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 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.
Whatever name you call him by, he has always had a habit of putting on different personalities to get the results he wants. Shinichi's core personality is a bored and irritable boy. He finds most of the typical occupations of his peers uninteresting and constantly runs a sarcastic commentary on the people around him. Only a few things can snap him out of this. Any mention of Sherlock Holmes will instantly turn him into an enthusiastic boy who can ramble on for hours. And the appearance of a mystery of any kind will instantly bring out his razor sharp focus. Once he is on the hunt to solve a mystery he is almost impossible to distract. He is a huge fan of soccer, and admits to a fondness for cheesecake. And there is Ran, of course. His most important person.
Even 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 th few people who know his secret. But even with them he is secretive.
Currently Conan has only two goals in his life. First, to reclaim his old life and to finally confess his feelings to Ran. To do this he needs to find an antidote for the poison that turned him into a child and he needs to bring an end to the Black Organization. Secondly, he has the goal of finding the truth behind every crime he stumbles across.
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. If they still don't get it, he will resort to drugging them and using them as living puppets.
He idolizes Sherlock Holmes, and has deliberately modeled himself after the detective. And he is a natural skeptic when it comes to ghosts, monsters, 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 here, he is likely to immediately assume it is a hoax to cover up for another crime.
Shinichi 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. He is terrified of the Black Organization ever discovering that Shinichi Kudo is still alive. But he is most terrified that Ran will get hurt. If it means that she won't get involved he is willing to lie directly to his best friend. Even if it means she will hate him if she ever finds out.
POWER:
Soccerball Summoning: Conan will be able to instantly summon soccerballs when he needs them. This will include all the varieties of soccerballs he has used in his canon. Including normal soccerballs, soccerballs which can inflate to large sizes, and soccerballs filled with fireworks that explode on impact.
Physics Manipulation: Conan will be able to bend the laws of physics for brief moments. For example, he would be able to lessen the effect of gravity on himself long enough to skateboard up a wall. He will not be able to extend this to anyone else.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
[Conan Edogawa was no stranger to finding himself in strange and dangerous circumstances. Call it an occupational hazard of his chosen career.
Rather than panicking at waking up in Florida like the others he had stayed calm, investigated his surroundings and collected every scrap of information he could find. There wasn't nearly enough to satisfy him, let lone come to any kind of hypothesis. Not when there were people here who already knew far too much for his piece of mind.
But who was responsible for this? What was the purpose? His thoughts turned to the Black Organization. Were they involved in this?
After a moment of thought Conan dismisses the idea. If they knew enough of who he was to target him... He knew enough of their operation style to know that they wouldn't bother with orchestrating this kind of situation. If they had been involved he would already be dead.
Which still left him where he had started. With far more questions than answers. There was no help for it. He was still suspicious of something as convenient as the network, but using it would be faster than tracking people down individually. He would just have to be very careful not to give anyone any idea that he was anything more than a curious kid.]
The people who brought us here are really mean, aren't they? I didn't ask to go on vacation at all!
[Conan scowls childishly into the camera, and proceeds to dig for information.]
Ne! So can anyone tell me more about this place! It looks a little like America, right? But it doesn't look familiar at all. And it seems like there are some strange things going on here. Are there really superheroes? But those are just in stories, right? Is it just people in costumes playing tricks?
And does anyone know the way home? The people who take care of me will be really upset if I don't come home.
[Sometimes Conan still couldn't believe that people bought this kind of act.]
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
Conan scowls down at his notebook. Ever since arriving in this city he had been determinedly collecting every piece of information he could find about how these so-called super powers worked. The very concept was ridiculous. And the lack of interest he'd seen from many of the other people here was even worse. How could anyone simply accept something like this without understanding why it worked?
It was worse than all those times someone had tried to mislead the police with magic tricks. So many times he had seen common sleight of hand used to convince the witnesses that a crime had been committed by magic or a ghost. But every time he had been able to figure out the trick. Whatever the trick or deceit here, he would figure it out.
Holmes had said it, right? There should be no combination of events for which the wit of man cannot conceive an explanation. Like his idol, Conan had always firmly believed that there was nothing in the world that could not be explained.
Matter could not simply appear out of nothing. Reality could not bend purely through someone's will. This was basic physics. There must be some trick to this.
In the end this was just another puzzle. And there was no puzzle he couldn't solve. The more complicated it became, the more he became intrigued by it. Hidden under his folded hands, the boy's lips curve into a smug smirk. He would find the secret behind this, no matter how long it took.
Suddenly he stiffens as he hears the distinctive sounds of footsteps on the library floor. Conan hastily sweeps all his research into his backpack and conceals his collection of advanced science texts under more age appropriate books. By the time the adult comes into eyesight there is nothing left to show he is anything more than a kid doing homework.
