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
Botan has an ethereal beauty, with porcelain skin that contrasts strikingly against her silver hair, often adorned with golden and violet ornaments reminiscent of a regal past. Her crimson eyes glint with a haunting intensity, framed by soft, smoky lashes. Her armor is intricately crafted with floral engravings, each petal gilded, reflecting her name, which means "peony." The armor combines elegance with strength, protective but refined, with layered pauldrons and vambraces decorated with amethyst accents. A scar runs down her left shoulder, a reminder of past battles, adding a sense of gravity to her otherwise delicate features.
personality
Botan is quiet but intense, her demeanor carrying a stoic elegance that belies her fierce strength. She is driven by an unbreakable code of loyalty and justice, with a soft spot for those who have suffered betrayal or loss. Though she appears composed, her heart harbors a simmering anger towards those who harm the innocent. Botan values honor and holds herself to high standards, often going out of her way to protect her allies, even at great risk. Her wit is sharp and dry, her words few but chosen with care. Compassionate yet unyielding, she inspires respect and a tinge of fear among those who witness her power.
backstory
Once a noblewoman from an ancient clan, Botan's life was marked by tragedy when her family was betrayed and her home destroyed. She was left for dead but miraculously survived, emerging as a Yurei Oniro, a spectral warrior bound to the realm of mortals by vengeance and unfinished duty. Over time, she honed her skills with massive, two-handed weapons, favoring oversized maces and hammers that could shatter armor and bones alike. Tales of her spectral presence in battlefields spread far and wide, and now, she roams the land as a ghostly guardian, seeking justice for her fallen kin while helping those who face betrayal and hardship.
