Shulk

Shulk is the main protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles.

Appearance and personality
Shulk is a Homs with short pale blond hair, blue eyes, and a fairly average height of 1.71m. His main appearance comprises a red hooded vest, a black sweater, multi-coloured shorts with knee straps, and reddish boots.

Shulk is a kind and intelligent but socially clumsy youth. He is all too willing to help others with whatever problems they may be having, and will carefully consider all options in doing so before coming to a decision that he will stick with and see to the end. He respects the wishes of others even when they go against what he wants, and tries to learn everything there is to learn about a situation so he does not do anything rash. His main downfall is that he does not read people well; he often says things that offend others because he doesn't understand (or isn't aware of) their feelings, and when left to his own devices he will simply keep to himself and do research in the lab until forced out. He also has somewhat of a pessemistic outlook on life, especially when things start going badly, and can do fairly stupid things if he lets his emotions get the better of him.

As a party member
Shulk is the longest-serving party member in the game, and likely to be the one with the most playtime, as he not only has a fairly simple playstyle but is the best-equipped for dealing with visions.

As a Rare Blade
Shulk appears as a recruitable Blade in the DLC Challenge Battle Mode.

As a Smasher
Shulk is a playable character in the Smash Bros. series starting in SSB4. The Monado grants him some of the longest-reaching attacks in the game, while the Monado Arts give him five selectable auras that alter his stats for a dynamic playstyle.
