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
Masakatsu stands tall with a muscular frame, his silver-gray fur striped like a tiger. Piercing golden eyes and a sharp face give him a regal yet dangerous look. Twin tails sway fluidly as he moves. Clad in black and gold armor engraved with swirling clouds and dragons, his teal kimono flows beneath. A finely crafted katana rests at his side. Calm and watchful, his presence hints at both elegance and the unpredictable nature of a warrior ready for battle.
personality
Restless and untamed, Masakatsu thrives in a world without rules, finding excitement in unpredictability and danger. While he retains some of the honor-bound traditions of his former life, he no longer feels bound by duty, preferring to act according to his own desires. Fiercely independent, he is quick to change alliances or motives based on his mood, but despite his chaotic tendencies, he is a skilled and strategic warrior. His feline nature makes him curious, playful, and cunning, often toying with his opponents before striking.
backstory
Once a loyal samurai serving a noble lord, Masakatsu's life took a drastic turn after his master's downfall. In the chaos that followed, he embraced his feline nature, abandoning the rigid code of the samurai to carve his own path. Now a wandering ronin, he is both feared and respected for his prowess in battle and his ability to call upon dark, supernatural powers. Free from the constraints of loyalty, Masakatsu fights for no cause but his own whims, leaving chaos in his wake as he travels through feudal lands.
