Essentially it uses DC (dice checks), even in actions like fighting. So it's less souls like in that regards. Closer to rogue in some ways, in that death destroys a level.
Aspects are essentially everything in game. For a Fighter, the concepts become martial proficiencies, armors, acrobatics, etc... For a Farmer, it becomes, nature based, forecasting (as in knowing a bit of the future), and a few other things, but no martial, or armors.

It's a necromancy/wild magic field day for the poor soul, and where it goes from there is a bit cool. At level 7 the mage can choose to become a Tiefling's Monge (Monk) and realign to their faith, or choose to really become a Lich and perform a ritual to empower the node into their will.
The cleric becomes less and less worried in its pursuit to avenge themselves of the Lich.

At level 0 the character is dead forever. The old corpse becomes apart of the dungeon, and the game continues with a fresh character.
Hence, a rogue like...
