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
With violet eyes that gleam with intrigue and danger, this Ryujin’s appearance is both alluring and mysterious. His lilac hair cascades in wavy strands, partially obscuring the dark, intricate horns curling from away from his head, symbolizing his connection to ancient dragon blood. Adorned in rich, dark purples and gold embroidery, his elegant attire resembles that of a performer but with an edge of lethal precision. A golden necklace rests upon his bare chest, adding a hint of charm and allure to his otherwise deadly presence.
personality
Kagami is outgoing, charming, and fun-loving, enjoying the thrill of his freedom with a hedonistic streak that reflects his desire to live in the moment. While he's open-minded and tolerant, he’s still on a journey of self-discovery, trying to reconcile his past as a tool for others with his dreams of a life built on his own choices. Though he manipulates illusions and gravitates toward intrigue, he’s driven by a longing for happiness and connection, seeking closure for his past while hoping for a future full of love and contentment.
backstory
Kagami grew up as an orphan, raised in the shadows to become a member of the Azure Scales, THE yakuza and mafia of Nagisato. Serving as a tool for others with little agency over his own life. After breaking free from that path, Kagami has embraced his newfound freedom, leaving behind the cold precision of a killer, as well as the feeling being part of a dysfunctional family, to become an Utashi illusionist instead. Now, he uses his skills to gather and broker secrets, but his true goal is to experience life on his own terms. No longer bound by duty, Kagami is determined to find closure with his past and live a life filled with joy, seeking a future he can share with someone special.
