The bored mage who reluctantly helps you out.

Heh. That's actually a fairly accurate summation.

You'd be the sniper, who sharpshoots enemies at the last second to save the heroes.

The libraian that doesn't actually help you, his goal is only to make your life more difficult.

The dark and mysterious man...

...whose shawl looks like it's about to go up in flames.

The Reluctant boss who doesn't really want to destroy your whole group but does anyways~ And will help me douse my shawl when it goes up in flames

(tehe)

The one with a dark past but has a gentle disposition and hides his fears behind a mask of confidence.

The crazy warrior whom you must bribe with offers of dragons to make him join your party.

(I find your idea full of humor, Draky)

(yours made me laugh. :D i liked it. )

the warrior who somehow ends up gaining the power of a God or Goddess and must use i to fight the final boss 1x1 before he and the main heroine walk off into the sunset battered but victorious

(And for some reason I absolutly loved that one. *Shifty eyes* Don't be surprised if it shouws up in my sig some time)

Your main rival who you are always making fun of...only to find out he is the only way to permanatly stop all the evil forces. Yes, this means you muct coperate with him.

(I'm probably going to use one of the two you did for my sig to replace the long winded LoTR quote)

The beast tamer who doesn't seem to have the ability to tame a normal monster and control it but has no issue taming and controlling a 50ft dragon that breaths fire.

(Me and giant firebreathing snakes just get along so well :D Best thing to remeber: Thou art crunchy and thee tastes good with ketsup. And yours will take the place of my bats after halloween)

He is your pet until the final boss where you find out he is actually half human and has laughed at your numerous failure to correctly defeat the bosses. He will only help you defeat the final boss if you offer him freedom

(I used the bribery one. ^^ and yay.)

The gullible Idiot who is still leader despite his many blunders and failures and somehow has led the party through all of the traps of any dungeon or area and used his klutziness to escape deathblows.

(Hehe~ that is so me. Senario: Trip and arrows fly over head, knocks entire part down and saves them from man eating plants)

The one who is the brains behind the party but doens't want to be party leader because that would mean being social.

the avaricious and gambling addicted Thief who joins the party thinking you'll find some great treasure but instead you are dragged all over the place with no monetary gain for yourself other than monster drops.

(this is fun O3o)

The happy-go-lucky dragon princess who wants freedom and joins the party for the risk of it all.

(I liked that one too Espy. OuO)

The sniper who is in the back life in battle because his gun does the most damage back there.
