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, and lived with his mentor, a special grade sorcerer, the controversial Yuki Tsukumo, in Kyoto from 6 to 12. 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. 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. 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, whom he used to date. Maki would never admit it, but she finds Julien irrestistible, which is why she often shirks her duties to hang out with him. Maki mockingly calls him Casanova. 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 harvati, 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 strings that are more like wires. The thickness can be modified, as well as the sharpness. "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 and reflexes. Unlike Kasumi, he isn't required to quickly sheathe his weapon, so he can use it continuously. 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.

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, though he's oblivious to the crush the second-year swordswoman has on him, and her desire to impress him. Sadly, she seems to be a magnet for bad luck. Maki once stole her katana in the Kyoto-Tokyo Goodwill event, (and now she could steal something more precious), 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 is 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, 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. The nature of their relationship is so fickle, and because they frequently flirt with each other regardless, no one really knows when they've crossed the line, or when they've broken up. 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. Maki is a very good training partner for Julien because he also seeks to hone his physical skill, though he will mock her for lacking cursed energy if provoked by her. 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 Maki when he uses his cheese, as he has much more freedom with his powers. 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. Maki seemingly always finds a way to spar with Julien, even when she's supposed to be on a mission. 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. 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. Scene and dialogue.

Julien recalls an 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. He's able to easily overpower her. Enough that she would get the message but not to hurt her. 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.), but that he (Julien) only believes Todo and Okkotsu (Note: Yuta Okkotsu) to be near his level in close combat. She attacks him with her sword again, as if aiming to kill. He easily catches it, placing his fingertips together before pulling them apart as he summons thicker strings of Ficello to block, breaking her blade. Not wanting to let him get the best of her emotionally as well, she calms down. Scene and dialogue.

Later in the scene, Todo, Maki, Kamo, Kasumi, Momo, and Julien all agree to fight each other in a battle royale, to prepare themselves for unconventional battle. Julien arrogantly challenges everyone at the same time, them against 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 is able to defeat most of his foes, but one still stands. Scene and dialogue. Julien and Aoi end up the last men standing, and they prepare to jump into battle. Scene and dialogue.

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 recalls being 10 years old, fighting against a room full of cursed spirits in Yuki's basement, free to fight without holding back. Utahime tells him that Yuki is a pariah and the last person her should be emulating. Scene and dialogue.

Afterwards, Julien finds Kasumi. He places a hand on his 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.

They return, everyone else being hungry and impatient. 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 fill 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.
