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
Kainu has a calm yet intense presence, with sharp, crimson eyes that seem to glow with the weight of untold stories. His skin is pale, like porcelain touched by moonlight, a trait marking his Yurei heritage. Dark, shoulder-length hair flows loosely, held back by a deep red headband adorned with intricate golden symbols of his clan. A thin scar traces across his cheek, hinting at past battles, yet his expression is relaxed, almost curious. He wears traditional monk robes, subtly embroidered with gold accents, while a tattered scarf adds a touch of laid-back practicality.
personality
Easygoing and laid-back, Kainu prefers conversation to combat, though he can fight when needed. His curiosity leads him to engage with travelers, yokai, and fellow monks, always keen on learning about their experiences. He has a warmth that draws people in, often offering a kind ear or a hearty laugh. Though some see him as lazy, he views it as taking life at his own pace, savoring the journey rather than rushing toward the end. He's fiercely loyal to the Yurei clan, and though he avoids strict rules, his moral compass is deeply aligned with the well-being of those he cares about.
backstory
Hailing from Aisetsu, the hidden Yurei village deep within the snowy forests, Kainu has always marched to the beat of his own drum. A monk who shuns rigid discipline, he instead seeks enlightenment through the wisdom of others. His journey took him across many lands, where he absorbed stories, insights, and laughter from a variety of people. Though not the most diligent in training, Kainu believes true growth comes from understanding the world and his kin, not just through martial prowess. His carefree nature is his strength, and his loyalty to the Yurei is unwavering. He currently helps out Chie investigating the disappearence of their last leader at Frostbound Lake.
