You get Exp points for making people cheer or boo. It depends on who the character should portray, a bad guy\gal, or a good guy\gal.

Pirates. The theme is lootin' and shootin'. You start with a few weapons for boarding and a small frigate, it ends with enough dakka to pierce the heavens and the perks to march in there and take all their booty.

Isekai protagonist. Basic abilities include superhuman luck, the ability to have people treat you as dramatically more charismatic than you actually are, transformation into a different species/gender, and the ability to use magic items and effects normally restricted to other classes. You gain exp by playing into genre tropes appropriate to the setting you find yourself in.
The ultimate ability allows you to reliably defeat Demon Kings, but no one ever specs into it because it’s too niche.

I never thought about a skill tree thingy, how would you lay that out in words? But here's my take
Theme: Herbalist
First three skills: Plant appraisal - More products (fruits/leaves/flower) when harvesting - Extra XP when discovering new flora
End game ability(s):
- Command every flora/animal/elements in the 5 kilometres area to sprout/wilt/help/capture/rescue you
- Everyone but the user (even teammates) get reduced a huge amount of defensive stats when in a forest or any flora-filled area
Gain XP/Get more skills: Put their herb knowledge to practical use

Fluffy Floof!!! - How soft you are!!!

Fluffiness increases by taking care of your floof (brushing and fluffing)... or coming into contact/snuggling with other forms of floof.

Beginning Levels: Fur/Hair is slightly softer~

Mid Levels: Fur/Hair becomes enchanted~ Provides defense, and becomes unaffected by the elements (no sad floof from baths, stays clean).

Also provides minor thermal control (cool when it is hot, and warm while it is cool).

Ultimate End: Abyssal Floof~
The ultimate form of floof, which can cause addiction at the slightest touch!!!

Floofy Barrier - Being in contact with the fluff provides a comfortable atmosphere, whether for the user or others (allows for space travel or adventuring in extreme climates).

Unbreakable Floof - The user's floof can not be cut or destroyed, providing the perfect defense.

Floof Shifting - The user can change the length of fur/hair to increase or decrease floofiness, based on their mood.

Floof Manipulation - While floof is extended, it can be used as a weapon... or an extra hand!!!

For the inspiratiom,

Just copy the skill tree of the closest FinalFantasy game/Other RPG Games you can find and choose the one you played the most to makes it easier for you to write it "your original perspective" on the skill tree itself.

Dont make it overcomplicated by using extremely specific type of skill that could alienating non-enthusiast RPG player.

Oh, it's more like... if you can live using any skill tree you want in a sandbox, what skill tree will you make to play with.

Essentially if

The prince skill tree is

Fire dragon
T1 skills some fire magic,
T2 skill is dragon scales and small physical changes
T3 skills partial metamorphosis and dragon heart
T4 full transformation and dragon tier magic
T5 dragon god tier magic

progression could be... time spent thinking about being a dragon.

I am not so much needing to fill a box... but want to hear a diversity of paradigms

Things like Sailus progession by popularity/reaction was fresh.

So yeah... xerox-ing an rpg. Probably won't do me any good.
