Shulk (シュルク Shuruku) is the main protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles.

Character description

Shulk is a level headed youth who likes to think things through and is very methodical in his approach to most situations. He is one of the few people able to wield the Monado, a special sword able to defeat the Mechon, due to the fact that he was one of the only known survivors on a previous expedition to retrieve the sacred weapon. He first acquires the sword when his home, Colony 9, is attacked by the Mechon. His first act upon acquiring the "destined weapon" is to fight for an end to the war with the Mechon as revenge for their attack on his colony.

As a playable character

Shulk was leaked as a playable character three weeks before the release of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS on YouTube videos from a video used to rate the game by ESRB, before being officially confirmed on August 29th, 2014. Shulk uses the Monado as his weapon, and uses his various attacking arts.

On May 19th before his official reveal, Shulk's English voice actor, Adam Howden, had posted on his twitter that he had done recording for a game he was not allowed to talk about.

Trivia

• Shulk, Robin, Dark Pit, and Lucas are the only playable characters to have only made one other appearance outside of their Smash appearances.
