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
Masaru is a towering figure, his weathered yet regal visage bearing the marks of countless battles. His sharp blue eyes burn with quiet intensity, framed by thick, silver-streaked hair tied back loosely. Twin horns curve back from his temples, giving him an imposing, otherworldly aura. He wears a sturdy fur-lined mantle over intricately engraved armor, its patterns telling stories of his victories. His muscular frame is balanced with a fluid grace, carrying both a massive greatsword and a serene sense of control.
personality
Masaru radiates an infectious enthusiasm for life’s challenges, encouraging others to face adversity with courage. His blunt humor and booming laughter often lighten the gravest of situations. While he exudes a warrior’s ferocity, he tempers it with surprising wisdom and kindness, understanding that strength lies in compassion as much as in might. He respects those who fight for others or strive for self-betterment, offering guidance with a mix of teasing and heartfelt encouragement, always challenging them to aim higher.
backstory
Born from the union of the heavens and the mountains, Masaru emerged as a divine force to inspire mortals to overcome fear and embrace challenge. From ancient times, he roamed the world, teaching warriors the value of perseverance and growth through struggle. He became a patron of those who dared to push their limits and protect others. Temples dedicated to him are found atop perilous peaks or within deep ravines, accessible only to those willing to take risks to honor his teachings.
