All three of us in Spatulalad's Badlands game on RPGNet have pretty much carved out our niches in the game.
Amado G's Man in Black is the calm and in-control badass of the crew. He's also the only one in the crew who can use a gun, since the rest of us are martial arts types.
I play the Boy Named Sue, and he's the mad dog brawler of the crew. He typically comes into his fights pissed as all hell (usually after being laughed at about his name) and mainly uses his fists and whatever improvised weapons happen to be on hand.
Deacon Blues's Big Jim McLanahan is the exotic martial artist of the crew, and likes to clean house using powerful kicks and crazy maneuvers out of a kung fu movie.
We're currently in the middle of our first fight, where the Man in Black and the bad guys' leader are going mano a mano on each other while Sue and Big Jim are cleaning house on the mooks. Among the more interesting bits were Sue hurling a bar stool up into the balcony and sending the mook up there crashing down into the bad guys' table, and Big Jim polishing off three mooks with a flying triple-kick.
And now we've got a lunatic with a chainsaw joining the party, and things are gonna get slightly hairy.
