Yume lore drop

Basic

⟢ his first name is Kiyoyume 

⟢ Yume is a Special Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer

⟢ His CT revolves around dreams and manipulating them. The gist is that he has the ability to invade a target’s mind and put them in a dream-like trance when they fight. He can then use the targets’ deepest fears, insecurities, weaknesses against them in various ways. This trance can also induce a phenomenon similar to sleep paralysis. Yume’s Domain Expansion creates a field of his own whim, basically an enclosed area where imagination is his only limitation. It’s more complex but I’ll put this here for now xx.

⟢ Since Yume’s abilities are heavily relied on mental capability, there is a limit to how much he can use during a certain time. Otherwise he risks insanity due to the lines between his imagination and reality blurring to the point of indistinguishability 

⟢ Yume (ironically) has really bad insomnia

Okay history time

⟢ Yume was part of Masamichi Yaga’s class and a fellow student of Satoru, Suguru, and Shoko. For the first half of first year, Yume was often seen interacting with Shoko rather than the other two. Their similarities in overall personality as well as interests rendered them as good friends, later leading   to Shoko introducing him to Satoru and Suguru. 

⟢ Although Yume went about the situation with incredible hesitance, their meeting went off without a problem. Even with the high contrast in Yume and Satoru’s personalities, it was clear that they connected without a hitch. The four of them became good friends and continued to stay in touch outside of class as well. 

⟢ There’s a lot more I could go into but I’ll leave their school lore at that lol

⟢ Unlike Toru who obviously continued on to hone his abilities after graduation and worked as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, Yume took a step back from the sorcerer world and ended up pursuing a career in professional fashion photography. Photography was Yume’s primary career for a long while before he started missing the action that came with being a Sorcerer. After a couple years, he switched to a balance of both sorcerer and non-sorcerer work. 

⟢ This half-and-half lifestyle seemed to work incredibly well, allowing for Yume to do what he liked while keeping touch with his friends. 

Official introduction

⟢ Yume is officially introduced in Jjk canon a little while after Nanami’s first appearance. While Yuji was with Nanami to investigate the whole Junpei//Mahito ordeal in season 1 episodes 9-13, Toru had gone to go find Yume among his other tasks during the time. 

The two of them stayed in touch after school, but since Yume was constantly travelling for either photo shoots or missions from the higher up, it was mainly through online connections. 

Toru eventually convinced Yume to return with him to watch the Sister School Exchange Event in season 1 episode 14. That is when he makes his first screen appearance alongside Utahime.

Housing ?? idk what to call this . extra

⟢ Because of the fun Yume ended up having and realization that he missed getting to hang out with Satoru like they did as kids, he decided to pause his photography career to work as a sorcerer full time. 

⟢ It had been the most impulsive decision of his life, but Yume was incredibly happy with the results. Since it happened so suddenly, he ended up staying at the Technical College with Satoru. It was originally something temporary, but since Yume was constantly out on missions, it became a more permanent residence. He didn’t mind too much, considering he was right on campus for students and got to be with Satoru whenever their rests overlapped.
