I dug out my old bootleg copy of the Breakfast Club this morning, and watching it I was struck by how much like an adventuring party they are.
You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions... a brain... an athlete... a basket case... a princess... and a criminal...
Brian, "The Brain" (Anthony Michael Hall): Wizard.
Andrew, "The Athlete" (Emilio Estevez): The conventional wisdom would be to make him a Fighter, and that's not a bad way to go. I'd want to play up the high school wrestler aspect, and make him a monk with Imp Grapple.
Allison, "The Basket Case" (Ally Sheedy): Rogue. It would seem like the smart money would be to make Bender the rogue, as he is both roguish and the criminal, but Ally Sheedy spends most of the movie taking things from people, as well as being able to trick Claire into her confession. That's the mark of someone with a lot of skill points spread around.
Claire, "The Princess" (Molly Ringwald): I was thinking Sorcerer. Someone who thinks the world revolves around her and is at least partially correct. Or you could give her Aristocrat levels and make her an actual princess.
Bender, "The Criminal" (Judd Nelson): I'm going to buck convention on this one, and say Bard. Despite once threatening Andrew with a swtichblade, Bender was a completely social character, mostly Bluff and Intimidate.
That's how I'd do it, on the first run through. Of course, there's no cleric on the list, and if you go the Monk route with Andrew, no fighter-type.
