Arro the Caveman

Arro is a just a caveman; he exists in only one story whose sole narrative is hunting an animal to provide his nameless girlfriend demanding a set of leopard skin furs; only for him to encounter a sabre-tooth tiger and successfully killed it and created a rolling sled to pull it back to his tiny community. Only to be shrewly scolded for getting the wrong animal by his partner.

This is very much in the same frame as Blanda and to a lesser degree Cave Girl; in that there's nothing to really keep anything from the original content related to the character. In that Arro is just a survivalist hunter in a time where every battle and fight is a life or death scenario. Arro is a strong-man, tracker, archer and is very intelligent enough to build a sled capable of dragging a large animal several miles back to his home.

This means when building ideas for a new age tale using Arro the Caveman would very much a Conan the Barbarian style no-magic primitive civilisation fantasy. Whether or not Arro seeks to establish a kingdom or try and remain a wild ungovernable caveman living off of the land.

Alternatively magic could exist but simply be a very, very dangerous and alien thing that people don't quite comprehend; meaning that any mage is just as likely to kill themselves as they are capable of throwing lightning or fireballs. Which could led to a narrative of sorcerer kings building their empires and seeking to 'civilise' and 'refine' the savage realms of their world. Forcing Arro to try and build various objects and find a way to repel and force the sorcerer kings and their forces away from his home, people and lands.

Or this could be a unique isekai (transported/trapped in another world) narrative wherein a modern day man is thrown into a wild and alien fantasy pre-society world. Forcing him to survive and try and quickly learn and develop techniques and technologies to not let the wild lands of this fantasy world from killing him.
