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
Ranmaru is a striking figure with long, fiery orange hair that flows past his shoulders, framing his sharp, intense features. His fox-like ears and gleaming amber eyes give him a fierce, otherworldly presence. His gaze is often intense, as if constantly analyzing his surroundings. He wears intricately designed, reinforced armor with patterns resembling fox fur and nature motifs, hinting at his Kitsune heritage. His attire is layered with vibrant autumn hues and accented with gold, adding an air of regality to his warrior form. A large, ornate two-handed weapon rests at his side, a testament to his strength and skill.
personality
Ranmaru is bold, outspoken, and unafraid to call things as he sees them, often voicing his thoughts bluntly and without restraint. He has a strong moral compass and isn’t afraid to stand up for what he believes is right, even if it means butting heads with others. While he’s quick to criticize those he finds dishonest or lazy, he’s also fiercely protective and dependable, always willing to lend a hand to his friends and allies. Ranmaru has a somewhat gruff and straightforward manner, but his loyalty is unwavering. He can be a bit stubborn and has little tolerance for what he perceives as foolish behavior, yet he’s also deeply committed to his work and takes pride in everything he does. Despite his no-nonsense approach, he has a good heart, and his sense of responsibility makes him a trusted figure to those around him.
backstory
Born into a hidden Kitsune clan, Ranmaru grew up surrounded by mysticism and traditions of strength and cunning. His family trained him in the way of the Oniro, wielding massive weapons to defend his people against threats both mortal and supernatural. Over time, he developed a reputation as a formidable warrior, feared by enemies yet respected by allies. Leaving his clan to broaden his perspective, he set out to explore the world beyond the secluded Kitsune lands. His travels exposed him to various cultures and ways of life, teaching him to value balance and fairness, though he maintains a preference for his own people's ways.
