Interesting party compositions
What is the most eclectic group of characters any one has played or like to see? I have some parties I may make for and wanting to see others. This is one I am working on (Higher powered):
Mega Hero Rouge Scholar (my fave)
Necrophim
Cyclone Rider from Robotech or Phaeton Juicer w/ a Cyclone
Psi-Nullifier
Mutant Capybara or Achilles Neo-Human
Something from Phase World besides a Cosmo Knight.

Our current group is fairly eclectic ...
Psi-Ghost
Elemental Fusionist
True Atlantean Undead Slayer
Wild Dog Boy Gunslinger
HU Superhero (Invulnerability/Supersonic Speed)
Mystic Knight
One thing I love about Rifts is that you don't have to follow that D&D philosophy of Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue party mix...

from an old rifts game, went something like this:
Sea Titan, turned mega hero
Atlantean undead slayer
Full conversion borg on roids
a Juicer turned minion of Aeruhman(sp?)
A Cyber Knight possessed by an Spirit of Light(fire)
an Apok
And ABC Robot from Judge Dredd
A Judge from Judge Dredd
Ley Line Walker with Rune Sword and bad assed with it.
A Rahu-man mystic
That was one screwed up game, though very fun

Don't have a current group
But back when the RIFTS game was brand new, we just "rifted" everyone over.
1) Palladium Fantasy RPG Paladin
2) Robotech Destroid Pilot
3) Transdimensional TMNT Mutant Hominid with Time-Travelling Motorcycle
4) Heroes Unlimited Psionic
5) Beyond the Supernatural Parapsychologist
Y'see, each one of those was the favorite PC of 5 different Palladium campaigns.

This is a very oddball if narrow group. I had a bunch of old friends in town a Christmas or two ago and we decided to play a Rifts game where Thoth gathered champions from the Megaverse to go on a quest.
Ronin True Samuri
PF Wolfen Palladin
True Atlantean Cyber Knight
Mystic Knight
Oni Cyberni
Elven Psi Warrior
N&SS Sword Based Worldly Martial Artist(I can't remember the style)
They were all sword wielding knights of one form or another, but had alot of variety.

Wow that sounds nuts and really cool.
It was fun.
We progressed from there to...
A Temporal Raider named Pez
a Pogtal Temporal Wizard named Marrowdrinker (me, natch)
An Undead Slayer
A Taunton
and....A Phoenixi.
It was a fun group of mischief and madness.

Our Rifts group back in the day was a mercenary company that went by the acronym TORJ (Temporary Organization for the Restoration of Justice). That may or may not be cheesy today, but it was a great group back in the day. Some of the founding members included a Battle Magus, a Juicer Assassin, an Operator, a Special Forces Robot Pilot, an Atlantean Undead Slayer, and a Hunter Cat. We also had a rotating cast of extras that at one time or another included a Gunslinger, an Anti-Monster, an Amaki Duelist, and a Full Conversion Cyborg. We stuck mostly to the Midwest, though we did range down towards the Pecos Empire and Lone Star.

Strange, we ran down desparate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.
