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
Tora has ash-gray skin etched with dark crimson markings that tell stories of countless battles. His piercing amber eyes radiate intensity beneath thick brows, and two obsidian horns curve upward from his forehead, giving him a fearsome yet regal presence. His long, wild hair is a vibrant emerald green, tied loosely behind him, adding to his striking appearance. Clad in dark armor adorned with intricate Oni symbols, his muscular frame reflects his immense strength. A massive katana rests at his side, always ready for battle, gleaming with untold power.
personality
Brash, headstrong, and quick to jump into action. Despite his fierce temper and love for a good brawl, he is loyal to his friends and adheres strictly to his own code of honor. He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind or stand up to authority if he feels something is wrong, and he has a rebellious streak that often clashes with his lawful duties. However, deep down, he is driven by a desire to protect those weaker than him and maintain a sense of balance in the chaotic world. He values his friends and family the most - next to a hearty meal and good booze.
backstory
Born to an ancient Oni clan that once ravaged lands, he broke away from his family's destructive path to follow the code of the samurai. Embracing honor and discipline, he swore his sword to a human lord, seeking to atone for his people's past by maintaining order and peace. Despite his fearsome appearance and brutal strength, he developed a reputation for his unyielding loyalty and sense of justice. Though his Oni blood often drives him towards violence, his samurai training has instilled in him the restraint and honor to protect rather than destroy.
