## Appearance

Julius usually wears a blue long sleeve shirt and black jeans, but sometimes wears red armor underneath. His spiky hair is a mix of dark and light blue, a bit of the front being dark black and most of the back light blue.

## Personality

Julius is best characterized as mild mannered. He does his best to maintain his cool and composure and tends to rise up above the chaos and weirdness of Zack and Cloud, as seen in the episode The Troubles. A character flaw Julius suffers from is laziness. As commented on frequently by Zack, Julius rarely trains or hone his abilities. He also prefers not to exert himself, leading Zack to insult him on the topic daily. This leads to a feud and rivalry between the two. Another flaw he suffers from is lack of confidence and low self-esteem, which holds him back because he feels that he isn't fit to be team leader.

As the series progresses, however, Julius seems to shed his laziness for the most part. After realizing his flaws in No Rest for the Lazy, he vows to put his work first. As for his lack of self-confidence, he learns to accept himself a little bit more at the end of The New Girls.

As a child, Julius was very timid and meek.

## Background

Julius Vladmire is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Vladmire. As a child, he attended the Preschool Academy, where he met Zack, Cloud, and Popple. The four immediately became good friends. On his first day of high school, Julius was introduced to Silas through Zack. The five became fast friends.

Later, Julius is present when Bane begins his siege on Earth. After evading Bane's robots and being found by Roy, Julius showed initial reluctance when Silas wanted to help the Silver Ranger. However, he finally accepted the plan after everyone else decided to go along with it. Much to his chagrin, the morpher Roy gave him was that of the pink ranger. The team followed the space shuttle until it reached the city and Julius was quick to suggest they leave, as they had completed their task. When Bane stormed the building, the five followed him inside. Julius tagged along with Popple to set off the fire alarm upstairs. When the sprinklers failed to disable the robots, he returned with Popple and helped fight off the robots with a fire extinguisher. Once the building was locked down, Julius and the others were forced to engage Bane in combat, Just as they were soundly defeated and deprived of their armor, defensive forces arrived to drive off Bane. During the aftermath of the attack, Julius decided to join SPD with his friends, beginning his path to being a hero. At some point, Silas left the team and Julius was given the role of red ranger.

During the events of Bane of my Existence, Zack and Julius went out for a walk. Julius confided in Zack that he cared about Popple as more than a friend and Zack advised him to tell her how he feels. After this, the two were attacked by Bane and his minions. When they returned home, Zack challenged Julius to a sparring match and Julius lose due to his inexperience in combat. Zack belittled him for this and went to sleep. The next morning, Julius woke up and went downstairs to see the kitchen in shambles and read a note Zack left saying that he went after Bane and it was Julius' job to clean things up. He was then tasked by Space Commander Roy to head into the city to search for Hoji. The henchman attacked and bested Julius in their first fight, but Julius managed to take him out the second time.

In the episode The New Girls, Julius struggled with his feelings for Popple. When Chan and Hoji attacked the boys' home, Julius was injured and subsequently rescued by Popple. The two escaped to the panic room and devised a plan to shut down the ghostbots and Chan and Hoji's armor with an EMP. While travelling to the surface, Popple confronted Julius about his feelings for her. After initially avoiding her, Julius finally confessed that he loved and refused to admit it due to his fear that their friendship would be ruined. Popple confessed that she loves him back and the two start dating after Chan and Hoji's defeat. During part one of the season one finale, the heroes are attacked by Bane and Julius helps Cloud out when the latter is injured. In part two of the season finale, Julius offers to join Zack in stalling out Bane, Chan, and Hoji while Cloud and Popple executed phase three. When cornered by the villains, Julius blows a hole in Bane's ship, allowing for he and Zack to barely escape the blast radius of Bane's shuttle exploding.

#### Season 2

Julius is at the beach with the others when the void possesses a shark and attacks a civilian. When Roy finds them, he invites them into the car and explains how the shark needs to be detained. Using the new technology he was given access to by Roy to detain the shark, Julius thinks of a plan to stop it, but it fails. After Popple helps to neutralize the shark, the heroes watch as the cloud moves closer towards Earth.

Later, Julius and the rest of the team attend the scientists' briefing about the void. While there, they reunite with Silas, the former red ranger and their original leader. After Zack acts harshly to Silas, Julius argues with him. In The Boogeyman, Julius and the team return to M.Tea and encounter the Negative Ranger for the first time. During the events of The Field Trip, Julius and the team were sent to Canada to investigate a lead in the void case. While splitting up in the wilderness, he is confronted by a mysterious man. In Some Downtime, he is present when Popple's father returns from his tour of duty. His girlfriend's father does not take an immediate liking to him, which confuses the teen. When the team goes to Revolutech for a school trip, Julius volunteers to sneak around and find any information. While he does find the company's secret warehouse, he is soon discovered by the Negative Ranger and imprisoned. He was later freed by Zack and Popple. Julius dresses up as a fish for Ronnie Jacobs' Halloween party and became inebriated when he unknowingly drank spiked fruit punch. When the void cloud touched down on Belview City, he was unable to be useful due to being drunk.

Things took a turn for the worst when Popple's father was attack. Julius was unable to handle the situation, focusing on himself and how things like this weren't supposed to happen. Later, when he tried to apologize to Popple, the latter scorned him for his behavior. During the events of Plane, Train and Pain, Julius, Zack and Cloud are tasked with helping another team of rangers deliver the black box from Bane's space shuttle. However, he makes the situation worse and the recorder falls into the hands of the Negative Ranger.
