If you had to create an RPG/JRPG Party comprised of historical figures, who would you choose and what classes would they be?

[LowlyPheasent]

I've mulled over it myself, I feel like I'd opt for the following in a Final Fantasy esque scenario:

• Charlemagne as Paladin
• Rasputin as Monk
• Molly Pitcher as Healer
• Leonardo Davinci as Wizard

 

[We Are The Witches]

I know Rasputin is in a fighting game: World Heroes, and he has some questionable attacks:

I'd go:

• Charles II of Spain: lich and necromancer.
• Hattori Hanzo: ninja.
• Nero: goblin king.
• Ilse Koch: mad, sadistic scientist (and fat).
• Vlad Tepes: dracula (easy choice).

 

[Caligura]

Götz von Berlichingen as Warrior.
Don't need any more party members.

 

[Gangstalker #32194]

• Simo Hayha as Ranger
• Theodore Kaczynski as Druid
• P. T. Barnum as Bard
• Stephane Breitwieser as Rogue
• John von Neumann as Wizard

 

[OrionBalls]

Joan D'Arc as Paladin
Mary Firth as Thief
James Randi as Magic User
Henry Gray as Cleric
Cassius Clay as Monk
Hitler and Raygun as Bards

 

[Toji Suzuhara]

Attila as Barbarian
Tamerlane as Barbarian
Genghis Khan as Barbarian
Osman Ghazi as Barbarian
Tomiris as Barbarian
Brennus as Barbarian
Ragnar Lodbrok as Barbarian
And Jack Chick as Monk

 

[Jason Wynn]

1. Gilles de Rais - Blackguard
2. Torquemada - Inquisitor
3. Elizabeth Bathory - Blood Mage
4. Charlotte Corday - Assassin/Rogue
5. Cornelius Agrippa - Thaumaturgist
6. Paracelsus - Alchemist/Priest

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Wan Hu - Wizard
Tarrare - Glutton
Diogenes - Lunatic
Gloria Ramirez - Alchemist
William McGonagal - Bard

 

[LowlyPheasent]

Attila as Barbarian
Tamerlane as Barbarian
Genghis Khan as Barbarian
Osman Ghazi as Barbarian
Tomiris as Barbarian
Brennus as Barbarian
Ragnar Lodbrok as Barbarian
And Jack Chick as Monk

It seems very meta, but I approve of a band of nothing but barbarians brute forcing through everything.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Muhammad: Orator
Bruce Lee: Monk
Aristotle: Scholar
Helen of Troy: Dancer

Muhammad was obviously silver-tongued to get people to follow his nonsense, and he must've been at least a somewhat capable fighter.

The rest seem self-explanatory.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

Hannibal: Hannibal
Kim Philby: Faceman
Manfred von Richthofen: Murdock
OJ Simpson: B.A. Baracus

 

[soup peddler]

I won't give you any free material Type-Moon

Barabbas: Rogue
Caiaphas: Cleric

Salome: Bard
