Shulk
Xenoblade Chronicles
While a bit clueless in social situations, he loves to learn more about the world and the people within, and he’s always eager to help and encourage the people around him. He’s very organized and methodical, usually preferring to solve problems with his brains rather than his brawn.
In battle, he is constantly keeping an eye on the situation, trying to decipher any difficulties he faces, and thinking of his next actions. With the Monado in hand, his options remain open with a variety of offensive and support abilities- not to mention his visions of the future.
Character History
In Xenoblade Chronicles, Shulk and his people live on a giant titan known as the Bionis. They were under constant threat of an invading army of machines known as Mechon that aimed to wipe out his species. He worked as a weapons engineer at Colony 9, one of the last refuges for his kind, and studied a mysterious blade known as the Monado that was able to pierce the near impenetrable shells of the mechanical menace. After an assault on the colony by the Mechon led to the untimely death of many, including some that were dear to him, Shulk took the Monado in hand and set out on a quest for revenge.
In Multerra, Shulk is an inventor currently living in Cevanti. Raised as an orphan in Erde Nona, he traveled to Markov with his childhood friends Reyn, Fiora, and Dunban to research its lost history. He hopes to learn more about what the world was like before The End, and possibly to use what he finds to develop new technology. He currently works as a weapons engineer for the Pilot Union, while his friends all have positions to help aid in the fight against the Unmaking.
Master Skills
Weapons Engineer

"It's what I do for a living, after all. I typically develop weapons, but I can also create clothes, armor, and other equipment. I suppose I could also create tools, if I had to." - Technical (Machinery) IV
Cost: 200 E

- Research/Investigation II

"Well, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't wonder why the world is as it is. There are so many mysteries out there, so much to learn... I hope to understand them someday."
Abilities
Junk Sword
+200 ) Damage II
-50 ) Weakness: Cannot harm metal enemies.
-100 ) Removable
Cost: 100 E
“It’s not my best work, but it gets the job done.”
A simple claymore Shulk made for self-defense.
The material is too soft to damage anything made of metal.
It’s about 1.5 meters long, and not too tiring to swing it about constantly.
Back Slash
+400 ) Damage IV
-200 ) Limited: Half damage or less if the opponent notices and can brace for impact.
Limited: Can only be used if wielding a sword. Subject to all sword limitations.
Cost: 200 E“Back Slash!”
Shulk gets a running start, does a short hop, and brings his blade down on the enemy.
He needs just 5 feet of running distance to get a good leap, which is about a foot off the ground.
It takes about one second to perform the move in total, with a second of cooldown before he can properly attack again.
This art leverages their lack of awareness to deal consistently powerful blows.
However, it doesn’t do well with impulsive reactions (i.e. tensing up or moving out of the way), so if an opponent notices him using it within at least a half a second of him striking them, the attack will most often fail to do the bulk of its damage.
It’s easiest to use when Shulk is behind the enemy without them knowing, hence the name.
Light Heal
+200 ) Healing I
+25 ) Self/Other
Cost: 225 E
“Don’t overdo it!”
In his expeditions to find parts for making new weapons, Shulk has learned how to use ether to perform basic healing for any scrapes he gets.
It takes him three seconds, and he has to apply the healing directly to the wound.
He can apply this to himself or someone else.
Stream Edge
+200 ) Damage II
+100 ) Affects Multiple
-100 ) Limited: Can only be used if wielding a sword. Subject to all sword limitations.
Cost: 200 E
“Streeeeam... EDGE!”
Shulk swings his blade in a fan shape to strike multiple enemies, holding it limply so it will slice along his opponents rather than getting stuck in anyone’s side.
It reaches at about 2 meters, given the length of his arm and Junk Sword combined.
He swings from left to right, so if someone’s on his left side, he can’t comfortably start attacking. If they’re on his right, though, he can stop the attack before he reaches them.
