>> Kenny is the mage. Cause everyone knows the mage always dies. (Or at
least
>> in Jak's books they do)

No, you're forgetting, Jesus lives in SP.
After every episode there this scene where Jesus discovers Kenny's lifeless
corpse.
JESUS - "Oh for MY sake, how did it happen this time?"
KENNY - "mumble mumble"
JESUS - "I know it wasn't your fault Kenny my child, but try to be a little
more careful, OK?"

>> Cartman... not smart enough for a decker. He's comic relief. Ah. disiple
of
>> Tinners. Sloth Shaman. Possibly Ork.

Hey! I'll kick you in the nuts! ;-)
He's an Ork Sloth Shamanic Physad
Powers include Increased Size, and Combat Feasting, as well as Cheezy Poof
Sense

>> Kyle Street Muscle. He *did* kill the first zombie.

Definately.
Kyle is certainly the leader of group of Gangers known as the Mossad!

>> Stan... Well, he's the decker. Anyone smart enough to win a spelling bee
to
>> go out with the lesbian teacher... You get the idea.

Personally, I see Stan as a young Jak Skater.
He's smart, savvy, and chicks dig him!
Whatever role he plays, he's mainly team leader.

>> Wendy. Razor Bitch. Don't *f&ck* with Wendy!

Nah, gotta be a fixer.
One call to the Middle East, and she's got Iraqi troops at her beck and
call, as well as a missile capable of a Sol launch.
She pulling the strings for the team.
(But she's probably a razorgal too! ;-))

>> Pip... Cause everyone hates the pompous elven rigger...

Pip's too much of a feeb to be any kind of archtype.
He's certainly a pompous elven something though ...
Looking at the Starvin' Marvin episode, and the way he flashed that money
around, he's probably the team's "Sugar Daddy" they rip him off for cash and
gear, as needed.

>Chef... Fixer/Johnson. He always seems to know what the kids need and is
the
>only who helps.

Definately a mentor of some sorts.
Of course, the way he always manages to get the women leads me to beleive
that he's a mage with some control actions spells. (If you play Mage, I'd
say he's part of the Cult of Ecstasy)

>The Mad Geneticist on the Hill... He runs one of the hidden Delta Clinics
or
>maybe just a Street Doc

Delta Clinc for sure.
However, he mainly deals in bioware, and some really strange bodysculpting.
DOC - "Here is a Street Samurai with Five asses!"

>Officer Barbrady... Lone Star. If only they were like him in our campaign.

Absolutely, although he's also in some sort of conspiracy with the mayor.
The boys may need to do a run on those two sometime soon!

>Ned and Uncle Jimbo... Dealer/Fixers. They can get their hands on the good
>weapons. (Anyone who use grenades to blow up fish....)

Ex-Mercs turned armorers.

>Mr. Garrison... Beats me, some kind of shaman?

UUC - Uptight Upright Citizen, or maybe just a FREAK!

>Mr. Hankey... Toxic Free Spirit

Toxic Hearth Spirit, or more likely a Horror!
MR. HANKEY - "Gee you smell like flowers - Why don't you through this big
peice of crap at your friends so I can absorb some of that delicous
suffering?"
Remember the "Real Life" Mr. Hankey Game commercial?
LITTLE GIRL - "I wish Daddy was still alive ..."

And so the Horror that is Hankey grows!

Here's a few more

Cartmans' Mom - Joygirl, Crack Whore.

Kyle's Mom - Probably in more Policlubs than any three people!

Ike - Budding young physad. Resistant to Fire, FreeFall, Acrobatics, all
this now enhanced by the Pyramid of Zinthar Foci! He's gonna be one tough
mother!

Steven A. Tinner - It's 3 AM and I'm feeling silly!
