"I think this is a pretty unique mix of people. Maybe people you wouldn't expect to see working together, but it's not the same person over and over. It's a generic mix of talents.

• Aragorn - He's Aragorn. That should be enough. Also, great at tracking.
• Frodo - He's the ringbearer. No one else can do that for him.
• Link - Fearless and strong, Hero of time, and winds, and skies, and whatnot. You'll need him on your side. Plus, he has a lot of tomb raiding experience. Also, never seems to have the need for sleep.
• Wander - He blindly sold his soul to the demon and slayed Colossi, that did nothing to him, just to revive his girlfriend. That's dedication.
• Jak (and Daxter) - Jak doesn't take any bullshit, and he fights for what he thinks is right. He'll kick anyone's ass any day. Also, he's got experience being an outlaw. Daxter can't be left out if you take Jak, so you can think of him as a pet. I mean he IS an ottsel, and doesn't really do anything else than bossing Jak around.
• Solstice - She generates light. Against a villain called the great shadow, she's pretty useful. Plus, she embraces the good in life, and is a positive person.
• Eric Draven - Because, well, he's immortal. Well, unless you kill the crow, but who knows that. Also, he's pretty kickass.
• Lightning - She's an ex-soldier, who doesn't take any crap. She's loyal to those who are her friends. Also, always up for a good fight.
• Chell - Despite being a mute, she's probably one of the most intelligent people you could ever meet. She thinks logically. Plus, she's got a portal gun."

• Ezio, a capable assassin, is capable both of taking down heavily armored solo enemies and providing swift ranged takedowns from a high-up, hard-to-reach ledge. Just don't let him get surrounded.
• Commander Shepard, a natural leader and legendary soldier, always knows what needs to be done to accomplish a task, and is the team's primary tactician. This quality should not, however, obscure his combat skills.
• Starkiller and Dumbledore are both very powerful mystics, but Starkiller uses his powers to supplement and complement his already superb melee skills (infusing lightsaber blade with lightning, brewing up an energy maelstrom in the middle of a pack of Orcs, etc.), while Dumbledore contributes large, powerful attacks from a distance.
• The elite Starcraft Ghost is the poster child of "one shot, one kill," ending skirmishes before they ever happen, and providing cover for the more melee-focused in larger fights.
• Samus, the heavily-armored galactic bounty hunter, is half-tank, half-sniper, good for taking down small groups of strong enemies. Ezio is extremely effective providing melee cover for her while she takes care of her own business.
• Boba Fett, while still a galactic bounty hunter, is more about zipping up to a safe altitude and sending high volumes of weak blanket fire raining down, softening up the crowd, so to speak, for his allies.
• Predator, the vicious alien sport hunter, will charge right into the hottest part of the battle, doing whatever must be done to bring down the heaviest enemies. He fights with reckless valor, and would not hesitate to take on Sauron himself. Heavily armed, heavily armored. He and Thor compose the brawn of the team.
• The ancient Norse demigod Thor is firmly in the tank camp, taking out several enemies with a single blow from his enchanted hammer. He can occasionally call down a bolt of lightning or other weather-based attacks, making him an extremely valuable asset in large groups. Also, with his ability to fly and ride lightning bolts, he can skirt around the battlefield rapidly as well as lead the group in long travels.
