Later Shulk catches Reyn holding the Monado, which horrifies Shulk as nobody but Dunban can control the weapon, and upon confiscating it Shulk experiences a Vision of the future.
Reyn helps him fend off a Krabble and upon returning to the colony they find that Dickson has returned from one of his long journeys – he is pleased to see Shulk and impressed with his Monado research. The game introduces Shulk at 18 years old, scavenging for fallen scrap metal for his work. Dickson brought both with him to Colony 9, where Shulk grew up alongside Reyn and Fiora and developed a keen interest in weapons development and Monado research himself. An incident here resulted in the deaths of every researcher, leaving Shulk alone with the Monado to be found soon after by Dickson.

In the Definitive Edition, Shulk's hair is more yellow than its original dirty blonde. Shulk is a 1.71 m (5'7") young man with jaw-length wavy blond hair, greyish blue eyes, and a pointed face. Shulk also tends to be pessimistic, often feeling particularly frustrated if and when he fails to change the future seen in his visions. Shulk trusts his companions above anything else, and goes to great lengths to protect them. Despite his gentle nature Shulk is roused to great hatred and vengeance against the Mechon after they attack Colony 9, revenge being the main factor that leads him and Reyn to begin their journey. However, Shulk is also portrayed as being oblivious to other people's feelings. He likes to think things through and is very methodical in his approach to most situations. Despite being called out by Dickson for spending too much time indoors doing research, Shulk is a very kind person and is often seen trying to help others. Shulk is determined, organised, strong-hearted, smart, and quick-witted to the bone.
