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
Riku has long, dark hair adorned with silver accessories and tied partially up. His sharp red eyes contrast against his pale skin. He wears dark, intricately patterned robes, layered beneath a white fur-trimmed cloak suited for the cold. Silver jewelry hangs from his ears, adding to his refined yet mysterious look. His expression is calm, with a piercing gaze that reflects his sharp intellect. Riku’s appearance blends elegance and strength, fitting for a skilled Yokai-Hunter from the snowy village of Aisetsu.
personality
Riku embodies a calm, analytical demeanor. He approaches challenges with a strategic mind, preferring to outthink his opponents rather than relying on brute force. His neutrality is evident in his actions; he helps others when it aligns with his values but avoids unnecessary conflict. Despite his tendency to appear aloof or lazy, he is deeply committed to his duties and has a sharp, perceptive nature that makes him both a reliable ally and a formidable adversary.
backstory
Born in Aisetsu, the sole Yurei village in the snowbound Yukigakure, Riku was immersed in the harsh, beautiful world of eternal winter. Raised amidst the Yurei, he learned the art of Yokai hunting from a young age, honing his skills in the cold and treacherous environment. His upbringing in a place where survival depended on both wit and strength shaped him into a formidable hunter. He now traverses Yukigakure, balancing his role as a protector with his deep connection to his village's traditions. He currently supports Chie and Kainu in investigating the sudden disappearence of their old leader at Frostbound Lake.
