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
Nobu is a playful Tanuki with soft, rich brown fur and cream markings around his wide, curious eyes. His rounded ears and chubby cheeks give him an approachable, friendly look, enhanced by the ever-present smile on his face. He wears simple yet practical monk robes, tied with a decorative sash, often seen fluttering as he moves. His compact frame is both agile and sturdy, perfectly suited for his adventurous spirit and love for human cuisine. Beneath his cheerful exterior, his deep, thoughtful eyes reflect moments of introspection and wisdom.
personality
Nobu is a jovial and easygoing Tanuki Zenki, often found with a hearty laugh or a mischievous grin. His love for food drives his adventurous spirit, leading him to explore the human lands of Yamato in search of culinary delights. While he has a carefree demeanor, Nobu possesses a more introspective side, often contemplating the balance between the worlds of Tanuki and humans. His critical thinking can sometimes manifest as a quiet demeanor, especially when he feels deeply about a situation. Though he may seem aloof at times, those close to him appreciate his genuine kindness and unwavering loyalty, revealing a complex personality beneath his playful exterior.
backstory
Born in the serene Tanuki grove, Nobu was raised with a deep appreciation for nature and the traditional ways of his kind. However, his curiosity about the human world sparked a desire to venture beyond the grove. He frequently travels to Yamato, drawn by the delicious aromas and flavors of human cuisine, where he befriends local chefs and discovers new recipes. These journeys have broadened his horizons, exposing him to diverse cultures and ideas. Despite his love for exploration, Nobu often reflects on his experiences, pondering the connections between humans and Tanuki. This balance between adventure and introspection shapes his unique perspective on life, making him a beloved figure among both Tanuki and humans alike.
