Yamato

S
Shinrai

A fantastical world heavily inspired by japanese mythology and the edo time period.


Author's Note: Complete custom world without any 5e Defaults. This is NOT a Dungeons and Dragons World. Atm there are: 12 custom races 9 custom classes (all are able to cast spells, physical classes as well as magical ones) over 100 playable characters over 200 custom cantrips and spells 114 custom items Currently planned: 2 more factions (merchant guild and artist guild of sorts) and adding the whole character roster to those factions. But I need to get a better grasp how Franz works in conjuntion with those systems atm, so I will refrain from putting all current characters into factions for the time being. Known issues: -"I can not start a campaign with a character I created myself." Possible workaround: Clone Yamato and add the character you want to play as in your workshop tab into the character list of Yamato. Then start a campaign from there and select the character. If the character has a class and race that is not present in Yamato, you should also copy it over and integrate it in the Yamato world in your workshop tab as well, including the spells you use. I do not know what causes this issue. But this is a non-d&d world with selfmade classes and selfmade races. If you try to play my world with a custom character from your own workshop with a class and race that is not present in Yamato, it might cause problems. There can also problems occure, when you starting a campaign NOT at a POI with a starting location (the star before the POI name signals where you should start without a problem), but just an area. - "In Fights Franz tells me that I can not eat any of the healing items like Onigiri.": should he complain, anwer him that the item is a Potion and should be treated like one and he will let you drink it. At least it worked for me this way when testing. A bit odd, but atm the only workaround. All graphics were made with Nightcafé. You are free to use my graphics, spell descriptions, races, items etc. in your own build worlds and campaigns.

appearance
Hayate is a strikingly handsome Kitsune with sharp, fox-like features and a mischievous glint in his fiery orange eyes, which flicker like embers in dim light. His silver-white hair is wild yet graceful, cascading around his fox ears that twitch with the slightest sounds. His skin is marked with black streaks resembling whiskers, emphasizing his animalistic charm. He wears ornate samurai armor, with black and gold patterns resembling falling autumn leaves, and a dark robe beneath. His tails, often hidden, shimmer faintly in the light, hinting at his magical heritage.
personality
Hayate is a charming wildcard, blending the sly nature of a Kitsune with the honor of a samurai. While he values his personal freedom and often bends the rules to suit his needs, he holds loyalty in high regard for those he deems worthy of his trust. His unpredictable nature comes from his cleverness and resourcefulness, not from disloyalty—he may use unconventional methods, but always with the intent of protecting his allies and fulfilling his promises. Playful and cunning, he enjoys outsmarting enemies, yet underneath his mischievous exterior lies a deep respect for the bonds he chooses to forge. He is also surprisingly observant and insightful. He can sniff out liars a mile away. His advice is often surprisingly wise and farsighted, often driven by his spectacular instincts.
backstory
Born into a family of Kitsune who prided themselves on their cunning and magical abilities, Hayate chose a different path, embracing the warrior's way. Raised in the shadows of conflict, Hayate trained to become a samurai, blending his Kitsune trickery with the discipline of the sword. Though his allegiance shifts with the wind, he has served various warlords in exchange for favors or personal gain. His chaotic nature and sense of independence make him unreliable as a long-term ally, but his talents in both combat and subterfuge are unmatched. His family disapproves of his warrior lifestyle, preferring their magical roots, which fuels a growing divide between them.
