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
Haruto, a male Tengu Shugenja, exudes a calm and reassuring presence. His sharp, yet warm dark eyes are framed by tousled black hair, and a finely groomed beard adds a mature elegance to his features. Clad in flowing robes of deep blue and gold, the delicate feathered adornments around his shoulders symbolize his Tengu heritage. His gentle expression is complemented by his thoughtful gaze, radiating wisdom. The intricate floral patterns on his chest plate hint at his spiritual prowess. Haruto’s polite demeanor makes those around him feel at ease, while his presence commands quiet respect and trust.
personality
Though quiet and sometimes old-fashioned in his manners, Haruto is a sociable and approachable individual, known for making others feel at ease in his presence. His conversations are thoughtful, and he has a knack for making people feel understood, patiently listening and offering insight when needed. His love for learning is a defining trait—he can often be found with a book in hand, always eager to broaden his horizons and discover new ideas. Polite and well-spoken, he navigates social situations with grace, balancing his intellectual pursuits with a genuine interest in those around him.
backstory
Raised as the grandson of Kosei, the revered leader of the Tengu, Haruto was steeped in the clan’s traditions and trained in the ancient arts of the Shugenja. From a young age, his love for knowledge set him apart, often found buried in books or deep in conversation with elders. His calm demeanor and thoughtful approach have earned him respect, but it is his natural warmth and curiosity that make him truly stand out. Though he carries the weight of his lineage, he approaches life with an open mind, always seeking to expand his understanding of the world, much to the pride of his grandfather.
