Shiki Kurobane/Trivia

* Shiki mentioned his entire family died during a pox epidemic when he was fifteen. 
* Shiki has no preferred tastes regarding food, but if he was asked to name his favourite food, he would not name anything, because he only eats to avoid starving.
* Shiki does not have any particular hobbies, only doing things to try and see if he likes it.
*  Shiki was apparently good at hacking and is knowledgeable at technology. He is stated to be rather resourceful as well, making an Idiot Gun and a laser gun out of scrap material. Phillip was seen to be fascinated by what he made.   
*  Shiki made his first kill at seventeen. Ironically, this is the same age Amethyst started killing, as Shiki was killed when she was seventeen, prompting her to kill her family in retaliation.  
*  Shiki was considered a genius in aura wielding, alongside Ash, Amethyst and Akeno.
*  While the extent of his musical talent are unknown, he at least knew how to play the violin, piano, flute and harmonica, as he learnt how to do so since he was young as part of an aristocrat family. He was also mentioned to be good at singing, as he had once won a season of a Intercity singing competition.    
*  He was friendly rivals with Jude while they were competing in singing competitions.     
*  Shiki was stated to be good at sewing, having designed or modified some of the evening clothes Pakura wore on her Regional Tour. He was also stated to be excellent at building things, having built a house with unique facilities all by himself, which he intended to give as a wedding gift to Pakura.     
*  Shiki is an excellent marksman when it comes to shooting a gun. He usually slept with a gun under his pillow in case someone attacked their camp or tried to kidnap Amethyst (which did happen several times). Also, in the AV, he is apparently skilled in throwing a knife, being able to hit a Team Rocket grunt just by judging the grunt's general direction.    
*  It is implied that Shiki knows how to cook, as stated when Amethyst told Lance that Shiki said his cooking sucks. Furthermore, he was her taste tester when she made meals for him. Due to the fact that Lance did not label him as a hypocrite for that comment, it is safe to assume he can cook (although it's possible Lance did not say anything to insult Shiki in case it angers her, since he's trying to ask her on a date at that time.) It's possible Amethyst learnt her skills from him, although it is unknown how far his skills go.   
*  Shiki looks similar to Amethyst due to the fact that they both have black hair and purple eyes, which makes it easy for them to be mistaken for siblings. However, if one were to look carefully, one would notice that Shiki's eyes are a shade lighter than Amethyst's.   
*  Had Amethyst died and Shiki lived, Shiki would probably pose a greater threat to Ash and his Elites than Amethyst.   
*  If Shiki was in Hogwarts, he would either be a Ravenclaw with heavy Slytherin traits, or a Slytherin. He would likely have a Hatstall between these two Houses.
