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
Kagutsuchi has fiery red hair that cascades around his face in wild, untamed waves, symbolizing the fire god from which his name originates. His sharp, molten orange eyes glow like embers, contrasting against his pale skin, which is marked with intricate Oni tattoos running down his neck and arms. He wears a traditional black-and-gold Shugenja robe with red accents, adorned with protective talismans. His muscular frame exudes strength, and his serious expression is often intense, hinting at his inner conflict. His Oni heritage is apparent in his sharp canines and a single, prominent horn that juts out from the right side of his head.
personality
Kagutsuchi is balancing his fiery temper with an innate sense of fairness. He’s a man of action, preferring to deal with challenges head-on rather than with diplomacy or subtlety. Despite his intense nature, he holds deep affection for his current family and is unwavering in his honesty. Though his godly powers remain sealed deep within, his fiery spirit occasionally flares up, making him passionate and protective. Kagutsuchi is also introspective, grappling with the quiet mystery of his soul, unaware of the divine fire that slumbers within him.
backstory
Kagutsuchi is the reincarnation of the ancient fire deity born of the gods Izanagi and Izanami. His birth brought sorrow, as it caused his mother’s death, leading to his own violent end at the hands of his grieving father. Yet, Izanami, in a desperate act of maternal love, sacrificed her powers of creation to restore him to life, placing him in the human world of Yamato. Born as a Hanyou to a human father and Oni mother, Kagutsuchi grew up not remembering his past as a deity. He has fully embraced his new life, living with a fierce loyalty to his family and heritage.
