Character March 2025: Arena of Popularity but no Death nor Magic

I didn't publish it on my blog because it felt rather lame in retrospect, but I might as well bring it up now. It's not balanced, it's kind of strange, and it has a comically long name. But it is how I started this whole thing.

My ratings will be done on four scales, each ranging from 1 to 5:

• RPG: How much does this feel like an RPG to me, as opposed to a board game?
• Soup Stone: How little content does the game expect you to add? For this scale, 0 is a complete Soup Stone since I'd like to sum the scores to see the game's total score.
• Would I Play: If I were given a chance to, would I play this game?
• Would I Write: If I were inspired enough and had time/energy for it, would I get back to working on this game?

Arena of Popularity but no Death nor Magic

The Howler is a wolf-themed warrior. Yes, he bites. Since the rules require a silly 20-word long backstory (thanks, One Punch Man), here it is:

Raised by deer. Ate them. Raised by wolves. Bit them. Raised by humans. Scorned them. Raised himself. Achieved great success.

He starts with 0 Popularity, which is a shock with a backstory this amazing, and his stats are as follows:

• Head 5
• Main Hand 0
• Off Hand 0
• Body 4
• Legs 1

No weapons, no special equipment. Just a wolf mask and sharp teeth.

Ratings

1/5 RPG. Most of it is combat. I don't even know if there's stuff that one could do in between other than manage their popularity and roleplay with no consequence. Unless you'd soup stone it. Speaking of...

1/5 Soup Stone. Again, you get to battle, but not much else, as written.

0/5 Would I Play. No.

0/5 Would I Write. I'd rather start over.
