Story/Notes:
▬TL;DR▬
╬ This campaign is set in a deeply homebrewed world inspired by Japanese mythology, post-apocalyptic decay, and emotional elementalism. Imagine Sekiro meets Avatar, but the gods are long dead and the world still remembers them anyway.
╬ The setting is far after the fall. Ancient, soul-reactive steampunk technology—no longer buildable, barely understood—litters the land like forgotten relics. It can’t be repaired. Only found.
╬ Magic in this world is powered not by raw stats, but by your emotions and your elemental attunement. Your fire only burns if your heart does.
╬ Will you help heal a world still grieving... or be the flame that ends it?
*** ▬Mechanics Overview▬***
╬ This campaign is fully homebrew — every class, spell, and mechanic is custom-built for this world.
╬ Magic system is entirely rewritten.
╬ Only playable race: Human, race features etc replaced with a 'passives' system.
╬Combat blends melee and magic, with heavy emphasis on emotional state and elemental affinity.
╬Classes are unique to Kyouran. Each one plays differently depending on your soul, not just your role.
╬Expect tactical freedom, thematic power, and a deep connection to your element.
▬Tone & Expectations▬
╬ Extremely Rp heavy and story focused. Your choices matter, and your emotions influence combat.
╬ Looking for players who want to work with me to build a bad ass story >:D
╬ Themes of grief, survival, identity, legacy, and darker.
╬ Think emotional Avatar, gritty Sekiro, cinematic Studio Ghibli, with a little blood on the edges
▬About me▬
╬ Hello! I’m currently in college training to do X-rays (I know, very thematic for this campaign >:D). I’ve been DMing various TTRPGs for about five years now, and playing when I get lucky enough to be on the other side of the screen LOL.
╬This campaign idea has been living rent-free in my brain for a long time, and I’ve finally started turning it into something real. I’m looking for players who want to help me build an incredible story — not just survive combat, but carve something meaningful into the bones of the world.
╬I focus heavily on roleplay, character development, and rewarding players for staying true to their characters (which doesn’t mean murderhobos… unless it’s narratively earned >:)).
╬More than anything, I care about making sure my players feel:
— Comfortable
— Powerful (or pitiful, if that’s your jam)
— And emotionally wrecked in the best way possible
If you bring passion, I’ll bring the pen. Let’s make something unforgettable. ╬
