Fictional Sci-Fi parody RPG ideas

In my webcomic, there will be a Game, Which will be a Sci-Fi RPG game. However, it will be a bizarre, logicless, random mess of parodies, jokes and pop culture references to other sci-fi games, with A Good Idea For A Show in full effect. The Smart Guy and the Cloud Cookoo Lander are the best 2-person team in the game, with the others in the [[Nakama]] often [[lampshading]] how odd it is.

After the game's story arc is over, it will be a bit of a running gag.

The actual story arc has already been decided, it's basically Running Man X Meets Y Ratchet Deadlocked, but with more violence. That's not really the whole thing, it's just all I can reveal for now.

It's the game itself I'm unsure about.

Anyway, let's start at the basics: What will the 5(doesn't have to be 5, could be something else under 10.) character classes be?

How silly do you want this to be?

idiot - the melee fighter who doesn't know when to stop swinging his sword. Male only.

nurse - the sexy chick who heals everyone else but is otherwise useless. Female only. (Always dies first in fights).

black/white mage - a mage who is either racially white or black.

bard - some drunkard who won't shut the fuck up, raises the moral of the team by pissing them off.

Amateur Ninja - a recent ninja recruit, terrible at being sneaky and is loud as fuck.

It's silly, not awful.

A good example would be... something similar to Kingdom Of Loathing. surreal yet funny humor.

There should be a "Laser Ninja" in there somewhere. To contrast with any Space Pirates.

Laser ninja? I love it!

How about a "Space marineR"?

...Does anyone get it?

Instead of "Space Marine", it's Space mariner"!

As in "Mariner". the ones with fish.

I dont think anyone gets it.
