BORN IN A WORLD OF STRIFE

Xenoblade 1 gang in a few years

What I love about Shulk's characterisation across Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is the way he doesn't fit any of the norms JRPG protagonists tend to have. He's on a journey due to a need for vengeance instilled in him from years of grooming and with nothing else to live for beyond that.

Shulk is awkward and clearly neurodivergent coded in how he perceives the world and his fixations but also how he struggles with a lot of the social situations he ends up in if not for the support of Dunban, Reyn and others he'd be lost and would go further into his isolation.

Once Shulk learns the truth about the Monado and the Mechon he starts to question himself and whether he's right in his beliefs. He wants to learn more about the world, who he is as a person and also avoid creating endless conflict in the way the world was designed.

Zanza grooms Shulk to become his vessel and fed his belief and need for vengeance. Shulk realises this once he finally met Machina and spoke to them, he learned they were normal people just like Homs. Shulk struggles with how the world truly is and wants to change that.

Shulks act of defiance during the end of Xenoblade 1 is a way of reclaiming his own identity as well as the freedom for all Homs and Mechon alike. Shulk's journey is a path of acceptance and discovery that continues on even throughout Xenoblade 3 and Future Redeemed.

The mature, but mentally scarred Shulk we see in Xenoblade 3 shows the development Shulk made for himself over time. He took in the lessons of those he idealised like Dunban and wished to become someone his son and others could look upto.

I love Shulk's character so much and he's a big attachment from my childhood which affects me even now. Xenoblade series has so much depth and it's a series many people can grow to love through it's diverse cast of characters.

It was Fiora's idea. Reyn hates it.

i’m not gonna lie i don’t remember making this one

Did you know that Fiora's voice actress, Carina Reeves, also provides a possible voice for the player avatar in Xenoblade Chronicles X?

Or, alternatively: I got way too carried away while making this.

dating shulk & dunban

pairing: shulk x gn!reader x dunban

tags: polyamorous relationship, wholesome fluff, supportive!fiora

sometimes you wonder if those two two had monado visions about dating you in the future, only to then remember that dunban never had those visions

though either way, you ended up dating the two wielders of the monado, which dunban likes to make some jokes about, saying that you have a type: guys who can wield the monado!

dunban is absolutely the more calm and mature one out of your two boyfriends! he's often the one lifting the mood with a small joke, but he's also capable of making important decisions for your future as a throuple

shulk on the other hand is a bit intimidated to share a partner with dunban, even if he wouldn't quite admit that. he looks up to dunban and respects him a lot, more than you would any normal friend

dunban is aware that shulk is a bit tense around him and he doesn't mind splitting up couple activities. he'll let the two of you have a day together for some alone time, while he just takes you on a date another day!

though there isn't any actual jealousy between the three of you! sure, shulk does admire dunban and sometimes worries that he can't quite compare to him, but it never goes as far as him wishing you wouldn't date dunban

since you're dating dunban and shulk, they'll make sure that you befriend fiora! after all, she's dunban's sister and shulk's best friend and quite important to the two of them

fiora is very supportive of your relationship with the two of them and she'll always let some secrets of them slip to you, like what shulk's favorite food is or what flowers dunban likes, so you can make them the perfect gifts

though she'll also remind you that they're important to her and that she doesn't want you to break their hearts! as long as you treat them well, fiora is happy to be your friend…
