forum what would your characters' characters in d&d be like?

not necessarily what they themselves would be like as a d&d character (though you can answer that too if you'd like), but if they were playing d&d, what sort of character would they play as?

with my own characters, i think page would like to play a tank, and she'd want to multiclass as a rogue/fighter if the dm let her.
jesse would fall into the super high-charisma magic user trap and try to solve all problems with seduction and deception but still claim to be aligned good, and he'd also want to be an elf.
silas would be a squishy magic user, almost certainly a druid.
august would play a cleric but he'd ultimately try to make a pretty well-rounded character.
darcy would play as a magic user of some kind because why wouldn't she, she can already use magic irl is she gonna just downgrade? i think more specifically, she'd like to be a very edgy-flavored warlock. pact of the blade? and she'd probably be drawn to the undying as her patron.

I dont play a whole lot of D&D but I know the basics. Sorry it's so long.

Sparta:
Race: Elf
Class: Bard
Alignment: Lawful neutral
Super high charisma and intelligence. Strength and dexterity would be kinda low. (Even after Sebastian fixed his character up he's pretty OP which is annoying Seb a lot)
Backs up other characters. Mostly uses his intelligence to get out of tough situations. The brain of the party.
Michael:
Race: Green dragonborn
Class: Barbarian
Alignment: Chaotic evil
High strength and charisma. Low intelligence, wisdom and dexterity.
Seriously the stupidest character (intelligence: 4). The brawn of the party. Tries to kill Sparta's character at any given chance. Falls out of character a whole lot and irritates Sebastian.
Willow:
Race: Tabaxi
Class: Rogue
Alignment: Chaotic good
High dexterity, charisma and intelligence. Low strength and constitution.
Probably first to die. The party's theif. That one person who doesn't help out much and just watches.
Felix:
Race: Kenku
Class: Rouge
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
High dexterity and wisdom. Low constitution and strength.
Will try to hog all the loot and will most definitely keep it all unless someone calls them out. Loves to keep quiet and be that one "edgy" character who wears hoods and is all dramatic when speaking or acting.
Esteban:
Race: Triton
Class: Fighter
Alignment: Lawful good (they needed some law in their group and Esteban decided to step up)
High strength and constitution. Low dexterity and wisdom.
Tries to keep Michael from murdering Sparta's character. Holds the team together so no one is running rampant and killing random people. Mostly there to keep everyone in check.
Sebastian:
Role: Dungeon master
Gets annoyed when people don't follow along with the plot and get side-tracked. Keeps yelling at Sparta cause he wants to make his character OP and she won't allow it.

Allison: Fighter, Elf.
Azrael: Rouge, Human.
Vozreal: Sorcerer, Human. OP without limits, even tho thats against the rules
Rachel: Bard, Human.
John, aka me: Dungeon Master.

THE MAIN PARTY

Talrius
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Life Domain Cleric
Background: Noble
Alignment: Lawful Good

• Has high Wisdom and Constitution. Has low Strength and Charisma.
• The one who urged the party to be created, also the unofficial "leader" of the group (it is his mission that's driving this campaign, after all).

Issalok
Race: Either a Protector Aasimar or a Gold Dragonborn
Class: Oath of Devotion Paladin
Background: Folk Hero
Alignment: Neutral Good

• Has high Strength and Charisma. Has low Wisdom.
• Originally stayed with the party to keep his pact with Talrius, now he stays with the party because he cares about them.

Elish
Race: Deep Gnome "Svirfneblin"
Multiclass: Artificer and Wild Card Rogue
Background: Hermit
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

• Has high Dexterity and Intelligence. Has low Constitution and Wisdom.
• Finally joined the party after several encounters and learning that her previous business partner/lover was not as he originally seemed.

Niserie
Race: Wind Genasi
Class: Psionic Soul Sorcerer
Background: Courtier
Alignment: Chaotic Good

• Has high Charisma and Constitution. Has low Dexterity and Strength.
• Was part of the Original Three (her, Talrius, and Issalok) when the party was first created. She mainly joined to make sure her childhood friend, Talrius, doesn't get himself into a mess he can't get out of.

Annai
Race: Water Genasi
Class: College of Creation Bard
Background: Outlander
Alignment: True Neutral

• Has high Charisma and Dexterity. Has low Strength and Intelligence.
• Decided to join the party when he heard his older cousin, Niserie, was in it. He's a kid who just wants to see the world and write songs about its wonders and beauty.

(Please keep in mind that I set this up based on how true these are to the characters and not to the world of DnD. I am very aware that there are some combinations here that either are very unlikely to happen or just wouldn't happen at all.)
