🐉 DUNGEON & DRAGONS — CHARACTER INTRODUCTION

Empire of Sha’ul, Year 1140

Age of katanas and arquebuses

ROLE SELECTION BEGINS

You are Funami. You are 17 years old. You were born into a clan that does not teach you to raise your voice, but to hold the city together.

🌅 Dawn

Light enters at an angle through the paper panels.

It is not warm. It is precise.

The room is clean in an unnatural way. Nothing creaks. Nothing answers back. Order does not seek comfort — it seeks control.

A Funami lady walks barefoot down the corridor. Not out of humility. Out of habit.

She wears a fine bath robe, pale, almost delicate. No stains. No wear. In her hand, a thin glass of wine catches the dawn light.

—You’re late —she says.

She does not stop walking yet.

That matters.

There is no anger. No reproach. Only a soft… and angry gaze.

You lower your head half a centimeter. It is not a bow. It is a calculation.

—The city required— you begin.

—The city always requires —she interrupts calmly.

She takes a sip of wine.

—In my grandfather’s time —she continues—, a room like this was for choosing paths. —Today, paths are assigned.

You remain silent.

From the hallway, a servant passes without making a sound. Tea has already been served. No thanks are given. Funami servants know the rhythm better than anyone.

The lady raises her gaze.

In the great dining hall hangs an ancient painting: a Funami clan leader from three hundred years ago, seated, serene, with a gaze that belonged to another Empire.

She walks to the frame. She stops between the painting and you.

She barely moves the glass. Only enough so the flavor does not change.

With precision.

—Today you choose your role —she says.

She pauses.

—And when I say role, I am not speaking of theater.

She turns fully toward you.

—You could recommend yourself as a Funami guard. —Wield your own arquebus. —Administer a fishing port and never risk your life on missions that are not yours.

The glass lowers a single centimeter.

—Or you may present yourself for the calling you desire.

The silence weighs more than armor.

🎲 CHARACTER CREATION — FUNAMI CLAN

Choose your path:

⚔️ Funami Guard Urban defender, civil law, arquebus or katana. You maintain order when the Empire grows faster than its walls.
🧭 Funami Administrator Ports, routes, taxes, silent oversight. Empires do not fall from battles — they fall from mismanagement.
🔍 Field Agent Dangerous missions, escorts, gray zones. Where the law does not reach, you decide what survives.
🕊️ Threshold Funami (special narrative role) Mediator between clans, cities, and internal conflicts. You do not wield power — you redistribute it.

🕯️ DM CLOSING

The Funami lady does not look at you as a mother. Nor as a judge.

She looks at you the way the Empire looks at its children:

Not with love. With expectation.

When you speak, the world of Sha’ul will move one step forward.

🎲 Tell me your role. Destiny is already awake.
