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
Renji, a striking male human ninja, radiates charm and confidence. His piercing green eyes, sharp and observant, seem to notice everything in his surroundings. Fiery red hair, partially tied in a braid, flows down his shoulder, adding to his roguish appeal. Dressed in green and black ninja garb adorned with gold floral designs, he balances stealth and elegance. His well-defined features and faint smirk give him a playful yet determined look. The finely crafted armor on his shoulders highlights his agility and precision. Renji’s presence is magnetic, effortlessly drawing people in while maintaining an air of cunning intelligence.
personality
Charming, sociable, and seemingly carefree, Renji excels at putting others at ease, quickly making friends and earning trust. Beneath his relaxed exterior lies a sharp, perceptive mind; he is a keen observer of human behavior and can easily sniff out dishonesty. While he enjoys the finer things in life and constantly seeks to broaden his horizons, his true motivation is to protect those who are vulnerable to corruption and deceit. He doesn't always follow orders, preferring to act on his own instincts and moral code, which can make him unpredictable but deeply principled.
backstory
Renji was raised in the slums of Sakuragawa, quickly gained notoriety within the shogunate for his unique approach to espionage and stealth. After proving himself invaluable in gathering intelligence, he was assigned to reside at the Blossoming Pavilion, a renowned geisha house in Sakuragawa known for its connections to the powerful and influential. Using his charm and disarming demeanor, Renji blends effortlessly into the luxurious setting, gathering secrets from unsuspecting guests. Though he serves the shogunate, his nature often drives him to bend the rules, acting on his own sense of justice rather than blind obedience.
