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
Shohei stands at an average height, his movements fluid and deliberate, reflecting a heritage tied to serpentine spirits. His tousled, jet-black hair flows like a river of ink, with a few ornamental braids accentuating his regal presence. His golden, luminescent eyes gleam with quiet intensity, mirroring his sharp intellect and unwavering focus. His skin is pale, almost alabaster, contrasting with the rich midnight-blue robes he wears. The robes are intricately embroidered with swirling gold serpents, symbolizing his connection to the Hebi. He carries ancient scrolls, signifying his constant pursuit of knowledge and mastery of the arcane.
personality
Practical to a fault, Shohei is often caught in the webs of his own critical thinking. His mind constantly races, analyzing problems from every angle, often resulting in a frazzled, though focused, demeanor. While not outwardly calm, he’s capable of assessing situations with razor-sharp logic, making him reliable in high-stress scenarios. His nerdy fascination with ancient texts and scrolls can lead him to zone out or become overly introspective, leaving him lost in thought for hours. He isn't concerned with morality, believing instead in balance and reason, making his alignment True Neutral—a force of knowledge rather than good or evil.
backstory
Born in the isolated village of Hebi Haven, known for its snake yokai inhabitants, Shohei grew up surrounded by ancient lore and cryptic rituals. His family, a lineage of Hebi yokai, were revered as keepers of knowledge and protectors of the sacred texts. Suzuya spent most of his youth buried in ancient scrolls, becoming proficient in the art of Shugenja magic. While his peers honed their combat skills, Shohei was fascinated by the metaphysical—the power of words, seals, and spells to manipulate the world. His intellectual pursuits often isolated him from others, but they also made him one of the most knowledgeable Shugenja of his village.
