FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Appearance & Physical Traits

shin is a 20 (or 21 depending on point in canon) years old guy. he's blonde. thanks manga world. i'm going with the idea that he's mixed rather than box dyed since he's shown being blonde since childhood. very fit. lithe. terminal case of baby face to the point that strangers grab him by the face and comment how soft he is. save him. also the anime decided to go with blue for his eyes and i'll default to that.

Fashion & Clothing

shin has a fun style. a lot of over-sized hoodies and jackets he often pairs with tanks and baggy pants. he's got a 90's vibe with his boyband blonde haircut too. shin is the type who wants to be cool but tends to absolutely default to what he likes, which seems to be comfortable things. loose clothes make some sense given he needs to fight at the drop of a hat too but it's 99% more likely to do with comfort and again, shin's taste, than practicality.

he likes jewelry, has anklets, rings, bracelets, necklaces. and to that point i'm going with shin just likes accessories in general.

Demeanor & Attitude

heart on his sleeve, shin is painfully earnest but also a liar. fun times. generally he's easygoing but also easy to make annoyed or defensive. a person who responds well to praise and takes criticism very personally (even if his knee jerk reaction is to smart off), he's hardworking and guilty of the kind of tunnel vision that makes a guy dumb as hell. fun times x 2.

as someone who values his friends and found family, shin's relentlessly determined to protect and help them, but this behavior extends outside of those people too as time as gone on. even from childhood, shin is pegged as a person who puts others needs before his own and that's still true.

-doesn't give up easily
-enthusiastic
-blushy vocal drunk
-raised in a lab and then spent time on the streets before taro sakamoto took him under his wing (basically) so prone to finding 'normal' life things alluring (this boy learns/reads from slice of life manga send help)
-EX-ASSASSIN big one but less in his daily demeanor and more important if your character threatens those he cares about. shin thinks poorly of himself in terms of his willingness to kill to protect, deems himself different from his idol/mentor sakamoto and indeed the family itself. he's an unfortunate mix of very soft but often also very extreme.
-really likes dogs and probably other animals
-is somehow both dog (praise him...pat him on the head...yeah) and cat coded (hackles raise easily, slap-slap kind of responses)
-softie

Voice & Speaking Habits

- silly little clip
- seiyuu is nobunaga shimazaki!
- casual!

Magic & Telepathy

Clairvoyance: Shin can read and feel the minds/thoughts of people within a 400-meter radius (chapter 193) it works by tuning into their minds like a radio. He can pick out specific people due to their emotional state, typically using this to predict enemy movements or deduce what they're thinking. However, Shin clairvoyance is less beneficial if the person's thoughts are too overwhelming for him to read (e.g., Lu Wutang)^[14], or if the opponent is too fast for him to react anyway. His ability is dependent on electromagnetic brainwaves; Natsuki Seba's hood, which blocks such waves, can prevent Shin from reading his mind.^[15]

Precognition: By reading a person's motor-readiness potential (i.e., the spike in activity in the brain's motor areas before a muscle movement), Shin can see the future actions of someone. In the manga, this precognition is visualized by several juxtapositions of what will happen. However, overusing this ability causes great pain. Granny Miya comments that Shin should only use his precognition for 5 minutes a day.^[16]

Mind Control: He can forcefully rewrite their thoughts, forcing them to comply to the new action.^[17][18] The drawback of this command is that he cannot use this ability on the same person multiple times, as shown in his battle against Tenkyu where he could not stop him after stopping him once before, this drawback however isnt present when rewriting his own thought meaning he can use it on himself as much as he wants.^[19]
