I created a Jujutsu Kaisen sorcerer named Julien Vaugrenard. Standing at 6'0 (184cm), he's a lean, speedy 149lbs (68kg). He possesses slicked back, light brown hair and bluish grey eyes, he's hard to miss, and he's considered highly attractive by female characters, and he does have fangirls among the cast, but not as many as Gojo. At just 15, he's first-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High, and an extremely prized prospect as the Kyoto School lacks considerable young talent in comparison to Tokyo. He's ranked Grade 1, on par with Aoi Todo as well as above Noritoshi Kamo and the late Kokichi Muta (Mechamaru), and Utahime Iori, the student supervisor at Kyoto. This means he's considered to be a genius, as Grade 2 alone is exceptional for students. He's the son of Nicolas and Rose, two French immigrants to Japan that run a shop specializing in cheesy pastries. Circumstances have lead him around the block. For one, his parents' dislike for large cities lead them to settle in Muko, a mid-sized city south of Kyoto. Coincidentally, Kyoto is also the site of a Jujutsu school, and though Satoru Gojo is a powerful recruiter, he ultimately chose to stay close to his parents. Second, he required outside training, which he received from two now-disgraced sorcerers in Yuki Tsukumo and Kazuki Ryoumen. (Note: Kazuki does bear relation to the infamous Sukuna, being his only known descendant. He doesn't hide it.) During this training regimen, they would go to many places such as uninhabited islands. Yuki would joke that there were no witnesses, but this was really so they would not have to hold back. Cheese is at the forefront of his powers, extremely malleable and limited only by his imagination, but Yuki drilled into him what she could - while she carries a Shikigami named Garuda, her power, Bom Ba Ye (translated as Star Rage adds virtual mass to both herself and Garuda. This means she can hit like a speeding truck full of explosives, and with her bare hands. Julien's participation in jujutsu sorcery was not voluntary originally, as he wished to follow in the footsteps of his parents. Yuki lured a young Julien into the jujutsu world with promises of wealth, status, and leisure, which appealed heavily to him at the time, and still do, though he's adopted more pressing priorities. One of the catalysts was that he discovered she isn't really happy with her life, as her ambitions of creating a world without cursed energy are lofty, and sometimes feel completely unattainable. Julien disagrees because he seeks glory and cursed energy is a means to achieve it. Though his first mentor is Yuki, he's also been trained by Gojo at times. Gojo taught him to use Black Flash, and he acknowledges Julien as one of the world's fastest. Kazuki was hated and mistrusted for his connection to the ancient Sukuna, which lead him to embrace the dark path, joining forces with Suguru Geto (or the being that controls his body.) Yuki is not the only person he's acquainted with. He's close with Kasumi Miwa. The two are childhood friends, and Kasumi is not immune to his charm. Kasumi's father, Eizo, once exorcised curses from the family bakery while Julien was away. For this he's grateful to the Miwa family, and they do him. He sees Kasumi as someone he has to protect. Kasumi has noticed the opening of a sizeable chasm between them in strength and even status as they've grown and developed together. Whether Julien intends to or not, he is nonetheless a component of an overall environment that leads her to call herself "Useless Miwa." She's very aware that she isn't strong by the standards of a Jujutsu sorcerer, but she's driven to provide for her impoverished family; she was pressured into learning to use a sword by her parents but her true passion is singing. Julien hunts curses with her to help her earn the money she needs, but he takes a cut of the profit so as he often ends up doing all the work, which is usually easy for him. They often negotiate the earnings. Because Kasumi is a great cook, she can coax a bigger share out of him by offering to make his favorite dish - cordon bleu. He's friendly rivals with Aoi Todo, and they are quite similar, being passionate about everything they do, especially in regards to romance, friendship, and of course fighting. Loud, hot-blooded, confident, and they live for battle. Macho men. Julien is a bit more sane, and would never turn on or even threaten to murder his teammates, as Todo threatened to do during the Kyoto-Tokyo Goodwill event. Todo was incensed by the Kyoto team's plan to assassinate Yuji Itadori, as Yuji has the same taste in women as him: tall with big butts. This attempt was ordered by Gakuganji to eliminate Sukuna. Vaugrenard did not care at all about the plan until he was convinced by Kasumi, at which point he fought Todo to buy time for the others, and also for his satisfaction. At some point, Julien got the upper hand, but the fight ultimately ended in a stalemate when both were forced to work together to drive back Hanami, the special grade cursed spirit. Julien is one of the fastest sorcerers around. Julien and Todo were both trained by Yuki Tsukumo, so Julien is well accustomed to the question "What kind of girls are you into?" For Julien, the answer is easy. A tall, strong woman with long legs. Like Maki Zenin, his girlfriend. Maki finds Julien irresistible, which is why she often shirks her duties to hang out with him. Maki mockingly calls him Casanova and pretty boy. He likes the sass. There are three basic applications: Fromage a pate dure (hard cheeses), Fromage a pate molle (soft cheeses), and Fondue (melted cheese). The thing is that "hard and soft" are in fact two massive categories, very vague. Ricotta can be considered soft, as can Havarti, but they have little in common. In the beginning of Yuki's training, these techniques were all quite weak, but have evolved into a terrifying arsenal of the unknown. Fromage a pate dure, unsurprisingly, is the basis for many of his offensive attacks, and can be used to create constructs that form as hard, solid objects that can take the form of nearly anything the Julien desires. With regards to defense, he has more than one option to choose from, though they are not chosen only by hardness, but how well they can absorb an attack. This makes a very hard cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano useless, but one like Comte very useful. Parmigiano Reggiano's role is almost entirely offensive, the aforementioned fragments of the projectile potentially burrowing inside poorly-protected enemies. The effect is like a hollowpoint bullet. He can shoot this kind of cheese from his back, in a technique called "Quills." It's used typically in dire situations. Julien knows better than to willingly turn his back in combat. These are only some cheeses, some techniques, at his disposal. Another technique is "Ficello". Ficello is a popular brand of string cheese sold in France, and it involves creating flexible strands of cheese. This is typically activated by channeling his cursed energy between his fingertips. Ficello is versatile. Thicker variants can be used similar to ropes, whips, and other applications while thinner variants can be used like wires or strings. Ficello has offensive, defensive, and support applications. He can also only channel reverse cursed energy, which allows him to heal himself or others, through Ficello stitches. "Magma" is a variant of Fondue, and Fromage a pate dure at the same time. The effect is a superheated weapon that quickly solidifies on Julien's command, inside or outside the user's body. He can even make them explode. Fontina, Gruyere, and gouda are commonly used in Fondue and Magma. Soft cheeses can be used for more strategic purposes, non-lethal techniques, or even very strong whips and ropes. One should not assume these techniques are harmless. More techniques at his disposal: "Vieux Boulogne". This cheese is known just for being the worst-smelling. The technique involves creating a pungent and suffocating cheese vapor, which can disorient and impair the senses of anyone caught in its range, as well as their ability to sense and focus their cursed energy. Julien HATES using this technique, but it's particularly effective in enclosed spaces or against opponents who heavily rely on their sense of smell. His most devastating technique that does not involve Domain Expansion is "Fromage Noir." By infusing his cursed energy into a specialized wheel of black cheese, he can unleash a devastating explosion. There's also a lesser-known variant of "Fondue" in which the burns can never heal. It's called "Fondue Noir." Comte comets produce weaker explosions. Fromage Fort (sharp cheese) in English. Summons discs of cheddar cheese with significant cutting power. The smaller, the faster. They are of variable size. More powerful techniques must be charged. Julien lives for battle, but it isn't his only hobby. He enjoys reading about military history and classic literature in his free time. If he has eaten a cheese, he never forgets its texture or its properties, and he can incorporate it into his future battles. He enjoys drinks made from fermented whey such as Rivella, but also those that do not compromise or hide the taste. He has a younger sister named Annick.

He's capable of domain expansion, and he's styled it after his distant Gallic ancestors. He also learned Simple Domain from Yuki Tsukumo. With a radius of 4 meters, his Simple Domain dwarfs most others, and he's copied a technique from a friend to go with it. It's Miwa's "New Shadow Style: Simple Domain" attack. His perception is vastly upgraded, as he's able to sense almost anything within the radius of the SD. Also upgraded are his effective striking distance, reflexes, and speed. Unlike Kasumi, he isn't required to quickly sheathe his weapon. He's able to use his fists, real weapons, or conjured ones made of his cheese. Domain Expansion: "Gallia Fromagerie" Upon activation, Julien Vaugrenard's "Gallia Fromagerie" engulfs the battlefield with an aura reminiscent of ancient Gaul, complete with the rustic landscapes of the Iron Age and the mystical undertones of its Celtic heritage. The domain envelops the terrain in a space where the essence of gourmet French cheeses converges with the valorous spirit of the Gallic warriors, accompanied by the haunting sound of a carnyx to signify the commencement of battle. Within "Gallia Fromagerie," Julien calls upon a legion of cheese shikigami, each with specialized abilities: 1. Offensive Shikigami: Comte Commando Agile knights with Comte cheese shields and swords, excelling in both close combat and spike projectile assaults. 2. Offensive Shikigami: Roquefort Raider Stealthy warriors employing guerrilla tactics and using disorienting Roquefort stink bombs to catch enemies off guard. 3. Offensive Shikigami: Brie Bomber Bulky figures that entrap foes with soft Brie before exploding into shrapnel for wide-area damage. 4. Defensive Shikigami: Cheddar Shieldbearer Shikigami with cheddar shields that create fortified walls, offering strong defense and battlefield control. 5. Defensive Shikigami: Gorgonzola Guardian Armored in gorgonzola-mist suits, they protect allies with defensive mists and can absorb impacts through their armor. 6. Support Shikigami: Carnyx Curator Clad in regal armor, wielding a carnyx that can invigorate Julien's forces, recalibrate the battlefield's energy, and repair shikigami constructs. 7. Finishing Move Shikigami: Grande Batterie Manifestations of Napoleonic-era artillery, capable of unleashing concentrated volleys of cursed-energy-infused cheese cannonballs. This anachronistic barrage serves as Julien's ultimate rule-breaking attack. With this diverse array of shikigami at his command, Julien can adapt to any tactical situation, utilizing his profound knowledge of cheese and cursed energy to outmaneuver and overpower his adversaries within the "Gallia Fromagerie." The shikigami are not seen outside of his Domain Expansion. He also owns a carnyx that offers no supernatural powers.

Like his mentor Yuki, he's quite brash, outspoken, and cavalier. He's proud of his abilities, he's blunt, and not afraid to question others' abilities, especially considering his own strength. His strength, appearance, and personality have indeed made him fangirls, some of them closer to him than he thinks. He's close with Kasumi Miwa, the second-year swordswoman. Sadly, she seems to be a magnet for bad luck. Maki once stole her katana in the Kyoto-Tokyo Goodwill event, she's lost another katana, and even broke a third. She practices a swordsmanship style called New Shadow Style. She can combine this with her Simple Domain for the technique New Shadow Style: Simple Domain. Her circle spans 2.21 meters (for comparison Julien's is 4 meters), and she's supposed to be able to intercept anything that enters its range, but Yuji Itadori once bypassed it with his speed, and she was defeated by Maki in spite of using this another time. Her father Eizo once saved the Vaugrenard family bakery when Julien was young, so he's grateful to Kasumi and her family, and he considers it his obligation to protect her.Julien and Kasumi are childhood friends with close families, and they are known to spend free time together; they enjoy bowling. Kasumi wins most of the time. Eizo, along with the aforementioned Yuki and Kazuki. taught him about the existence of cursed energy, and his unique talents were quickly noticed by Yuki Tsukimo. Kasumi is painfully aware of her limits, and she calls herself "Useless Miwa." Julien is friends with Aoi Todo, and he (both Julien and Aoi) are very willing to discuss the type of women they prefer, though the question would never leave the lips of Julien himself. He's willing to answer, however, as Aoi Todo is not the source of this question but Yuki Tsukumo who trained both. Yuki would intensify his training if he refused to give a straight answer. His ideal woman is long-legged, athletic, and strong, like Tokyo's Maki Zenin (she's around 175cm). Whom he's spent much of his first year in a complicated relationship with, but they seem to find each other all the same. They argue a lot, but they are still very much devoted to each other. Maki has no cursed energy, so she's a black sheep of the Zenin family. She relies on her own physical strength and cursed tools. She's also a low-ranked Grade 4, because her family blocks her promotions. He's now in the process of refining technique that allows him to create handheld weapons that can be used for a long time reliably - greatswords, hammers the size of his body, battle axes, spears and polearms. These constructs require immense cursed energy but Julien is special. It's suspected he has more latent cursed energy than his mentor Yuki Tsukumo, a special grade, but he refuses to let others get a reliable measurement of all he truly holds. He outclasses just about any other student in either the Kyoto or Tokyo schools except maybe Okkotsu, though Todo is stronger hand to hand. At this point in the story, two Kyoto High sorcerers have died recently in battle against special grade curses. Mai Zenin against Hanami, and Kokichi Muta (Mechamaru) against Mahito. No one is more aware that to be a sorcerer is to put your life on the line than the dwindling Kyoto School. Julien likes sparring with Maki because she's a sore loser and he has never lost to her, despite holding back. She believes him to be vulnerable without his cheese. She is wrong. He has both a strong body and a bottomless well of cursed energy to pour into his attacks and defense. His relationship with Noritoshi Kamo can best be described as profesional. He finds Momo Nishimiya suffocating. She, like Aoi Todo and Noritoshi Kamo, is a third-year student, and she takes this very seriously, though he dislikes being bossed around; at this point he's overdue to have his cursed energy measured, and Momo thinks he takes too much after Tsukumo, whom Momo and most Jujutsu sorcerers see as in irresponsible layabout, a terrible role model. In Momo's mind as well as Utahime and Principal Gakuganji, it's of utmost importance that Julien grow up and become the "ideal" sorcerer, exhibiting decorum as much as strength. They hold him to a high standard and he sometimes feels he's being punished for being strong. This doesn't mean he is lazy, He's cordial with Arata Nitta, a fellow first-year student, one with the ability to prevent injuries from getting worse. Nitta is seldom seen on the training grounds, instead honing his support power. (Note: Julien and Todo are the only Grade 1 sorcerers that are students. However, they're outranked by Tokyo's Yuta Okkotsu, the only special grade that is a student. Grade 4 is the lowest rank of sorcerer, and special Grade is the highest. Maki Zenin also attends school at Tokyo, but she's at Kyoto a lot for Julien and to pay her respects to Mai.) Scene and dialogue.

Julien recalls the earlier taunt from Maki. He had beaten her in training, and she'd told him he couldn't fight without his cheese. She stands by this, so Julien accepts the challenge. She pushes her glasses up (Note: the glasses are a cursed tool that enable her to see cursed energy) as she watches his golden aura surge as he prepares to fight hand-to-hand. He asks her if she likes it as it bristles against her skin. Though she can't see it without her glasses, or feel cursed energy, she can certainly feel the sensation. The fight begins, and Julien circles around her at what he says is 60% of his full speed. His voice reverberates as he asks her if she wants to continue. It seems he's in multiple places at once. Maki confirms that she isn't giving up, and that she will get him to take her seriously. He decides to tap her with a Black Flash (Note: A technique that creates spatial distortion when a user connects with an impact of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. The phenomenon causes cursed power to flash black, creating a more potent attack to the power of 2.5 of a normal hit). He tells her that she's strong for a girl, (Note: This is a very touchy subject for Maki, as females are discriminated against in the Zenin Clan. Julien doesn't mean for it to be offensive, he is just chivalrous.) but that he (Julien) only believes Todo, Okkotsu, (Note: Yuta Okkotsu) and maybe Yuji Itadori, who is learning rapidly, to be near his level in close combat, among all student sorcerers. Maki gets back up to face him, and it's here that Julien is able to take in the aftermath of his blow. Maki seems to be missing her right arm, but she doesn't notice it until she sees Julien's reaction. He appears to have seen a ghost. She screams. They call off the fight, and Nitta walks in. He's able to stop the bleeding, and Julien is able to reattach it with his Ficello. She tells him he's just full of surprises. He apologizes to her, but he says he simply can't go all-out without injuring her. She apologizes back. She's so caught up in getting back at her family that she often sees him as a wall to overcome, or someone to impress. Part of this is rooted in the fact that the Zen'in family has approved his promotions. He is more than his strength; he is everything to her. He feels the same. Scene and dialogue.

Later in the scene, Todo , Kamo, Kasumi, Momo, and Julien all agree to fight each other in a battle royale, to prepare themselves for unconventional battle. Maki sits this one out, the gravity of the earlier sparring session dawning on her. Julien challenges everyone, because he notices everyone is always trying to fight him anyway. All of them vs him. Kasumi is worried about potentially hurting him, but using cheese he cuffs her hands together just as the battle begins, removing her from the fight. It's to protect her. (Note: Momo's broom is a cursed tool. Her innate technique, Tool Manipulation, is to telepathically control her broom, allowing her to levitate it independently of herself. She can use her broom to strike and can generate powerful gusts of cursed energy wind. Also, by swinging her broom as she rides it, Momo can launch a strong gust of cursed energy wind towards her opponents. This is known an application of Tool Manipulation, specifically "Wind Scythe." Aoi's Innate Technique allows him to switch the positions of anything with cursed energy within his range with a clap of his hands. He can change himself out with the location of another person, or switch two different parties other than himself as well. He's incredibly strong and adept in hand-to-hand combat, and he has easily overpowered Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori. His strength is likened to a gorilla. He can combine misdirection with his extraordinary strength. If fighting with allies he can teleport cursed tools near the ally if he's to replace the object with something or someone else. The object can then easily be plucked out of the air. He can replace a person with an object and vice versa but only if the person has cursed energy. Maki has no cursed energy, but she can receive an object imbued with it, including ordinary objects Todo has infused with his energy.) Julien leaps in the air as he summons a tendril of cheese to snatch Momo's broom away. Before she can fall to the ground, he catches her in his arms. He then cuffs her as well, removing her from the fight. Kamo is formidable, as he's creative and can wield his blood in a similar way that Julien wields his cheese, and he can use Flowing Red Scale to increase his physical capabilities, similar to doping. Kamo is the first to get a hit on him with Piercing Blood (Note:After the user compresses and condenses their blood to the limit with Convergence, the user claps their hands together and fires the blood from their fingertips. The blood, now reinforced with cursed energy, is capable of reaching the speed of sound.). Kamo smartly attacks Julien's leg, and Julien admits that it does hurt like hell. However, he's defeated by Julien's barrage of cheesy fists. cheesy fists. Fromage a pate dure! Tabassage! (beating). Julien is able to defeat most of his foes, but one still stands. Julien and Aoi end up the last men standing, and they prepare to jump into battle The ensuing battle begins with an exchange of punches. Todo begins to push Julien back against the wall. (Note: Julien did not begin with his cheese techniques. He wanted to test his physical strength.) Julien is strong, but not Todo strong (without his cheese). Todo admonishes him for challenging him to a bout of fisticuffs as Julien retreats back to use his cursed technique. 30 minutes later, the training ground is almost completely destroyed as Julien gets the upper hand using his cheese techniques. Before a win could be claimed, the battle would be interrupted by an enraged Utahime. Julien argues that she has to has to lighten up. He thought Jujutsu School would be fun, but Yuki-sensei gave him more freedom. He mentions being 10 years old, fighting against a room full of hungry cursed spirits in Yuki's basement, free to fight without holding back. And that Kazuki was even more hardcore. Utahime tells him that Yuki is a pariah and the last person her should be emulating. She also wonders if that constitutes child abuse and whether or not it's legal. Julien covers his mouth. He's said too much, and maybe even ratted on Yuki. Scene and dialogue.

Afterwards, Julien finds Kasumi. He places a hand on her shoulder, asking her if she's up to cook. Cordon bleu with rice, their favorite. Julien and Kasumi call out to the others as they prepare to gather the necessary ingredients. Chicken breasts, Chicken thighs (Julien prefers the thighs because they are larger. Todo would also appreciate them.), Emmental cheese, jambon de Paris. (Note: an expensive birthday gift from his parents and Annick, he'd been saving it for a special occasion. Jambon means ham, and this one is a luxury.), flour, rice, veggies for the rice, bread crumbs. Dijon mustard, honey, milk, butter, and parmesan cheese for the sauce. They actually have to shop for some missing ingredients that Julien insists the meal is not complete without. Scene and dialogue. It ends with Julien and Kasumi heading off to a nearby shop. Maki tells them not to be gone too long.

They return, everyone else being hungry and impatient, like Todo and Maki. Julien had even conjured a large barrel to store the groceries in. Julien admits they took the scenic route, and a long conversation held them up. They are ready to cook, and to make sure the others can properly stuff the chicken with ham and cheese, then bread the whole thing. They'll be making quite a lot. Delightful smells full the dining hall, so strong they attracted some other students, as well as Utahime and Gakuganji. They also come with a mission in mind, but they decide to join the meal first. Scene and dialogue.

It's good, proof that Julien and Kasumi know what they are doing. After they savor the cordon bleu, the rice, the vegetables, even the Rivella he'd bought in bulk, Julien and Aoi receive news that the Shibuya group (made of sorcerers like Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, Nanami. You know the Tokyo school. Note: Maki should also be there, but she wandered off before the mission was given to hang out with Kyoto, especially Julien. She didn't expect Gojo to struggle.) is in trouble with their mission (rescue Satoru Gojo as well as possibly protect civilians.). They're also told to collect Arata Nitta, and of course Maki Zenin, who should be there anyway with the Tokyo sorcerers. She must report immediately or face disciplinary action. Kamo seems outraged that he hasn't been chosen. He carries more experience than Julien. Julien tells him that his (Julien's) strength comes with responsibilities. Maki says she wants to fight alongside Julien, on the front lines. Kasumi laments being weak. Momo is her usual self. She says that someone has to keep an eye on Julien. To him, he's very strong but also immature. Julien, Aoi, Nitta, and Maki wave all the others goodbye, knowing it could very well be the last time they see each other. The remnants remember what happened to Mai and Mechamaru, a sobering reminder of mortality. Kasumi clutches a locket with a picture of her and Julien, taken years before the gap between them in skill and status grew. Scene and dialogue.
