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
Shinichi has a serene yet watchful presence, his deep-set eyes reflecting both wisdom and curiosity. His soft, raccoon-like face, framed by smooth fur, gives him an approachable air, enhanced by the elegant robes he wears, adorned with intricate patterns that speak of his Shugenja craft. His calm demeanor rarely breaks, and he often folds his arms in quiet thought. Despite his tranquil exterior, a glint of mischief in his gaze hints at his Tanuki heritage, where playful tricks sometimes emerge. With measured gestures and a peaceful smile, Shinichi is the picture of balance and insight.
personality
Shinichi is calm and contemplative, often taking time to think before acting. He values harmony and seeks to understand the perspectives of others, making him a good mediator. However, he can be mischievous, reflecting the playful nature of his Tanuki heritage.
backstory
Shinichi was born in a secluded forest village, where he learned the ways of the Shugenja from his elders. After a devastating drought struck his home, he vowed to travel the world to learn more about the elements and how to restore balance to nature. His journey has led him to many places, where he has encountered both allies and adversaries.
