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
Etsuko's ghostly pallor and luminous crimson eyes evoke her Yurei lineage, paired with long, jet-black hair adorned with crimson accents that subtly echo her spectral nature. She wears dark, intricate robes with elegant embroidery resembling spider lilies, exuding a haunting beauty. Her unnerving smile, paired with a cheerful yet eerie gaze, makes her both mesmerizing and intimidating. Delicate jewelry and talismans dangle from her person, hinting at her trade in mysterious wares.
personality
Etsuko is solemn and composed, her stoicism often mistaken for coldness. Beneath this calm facade lies a dry wit and morbid sense of humor, which she uses to disarm and intrigue those around her. Her cheerful demeanor—though rare—manages to be even more unsettling than her calm exterior. Pragmatic and self-sufficient, she takes pride in her craft, blending eerie oddities with surprisingly effective remedies. Loyal to her trade, she enjoys unsettling customers while secretly delighting in helping them heal.
backstory
Born from a fleeting union between a human herbalist and a wandering Yurei, Etsuko grew up straddling two worlds. Her mother taught her the art of crafting remedies, while her spectral heritage gifted her with an intuitive connection to the spirit realm. Wandering Yamato, she found her niche in selling peculiar curiosities, from enchanted dolls to ghostly relics. Though her eerie nature kept many at arm’s length, her potions and salves earned her a loyal, if wary, clientele.
