History RagtagBunchOfMisfits / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'' has quite the bunch as well. It has yet another [[HeroicMime mute]] [[TheHero hero]], a princess who would rather be a scientist, her ninja advisor, another boisterous bruiser from Death Mountain and fish-princess, a bird-man archer with an overinflated ego, a desert amazon and a giant forest spirit for starters. Later on you get to recruit four time-displaced heroes from the bad future, a villain undergoing a HeelFaceTurn, and finally the {{BFS}}-wielding king of Hyrule. To top it of, the optional characters include a faerie goddess, a 10,000 years old undead monk and a miniature version of the {{Killer Robot}}s you have been fighting. The DLC expands this further with a full-sized version of the killer robots you have been fighting, and the as yet unreleased second DLC promises to add two {{Mad Scientist}}s to the roster.

* All ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' characters have their quirks, but for the most part the units are pretty cohesive and manage to round each other out well. Then there's Ryuuseitai, a unit which is incredibly earnest and dedicated but is ''not'' very good at actually being an idol unit. Members include:

** This even extends to the supporting characters. Emma is an EccentricProfessor, who deals with ancient technology in a world where it is considered taboo. Jane is a bounty hunter who [[spoiler: collects money to keep her father's OrphanageOfLove afloat]], her butler McDullen/Magdalen [[spoiler: caused a fatal accident, resulting in him protecting Jane as a debt to her family for taking him in.]] Bartholomew is a drunken sea captain and overall ChewToy. Mariel is the last Elw on Filgaia. Asgard is the last of the golems and [[spoiler: the only one with any free will.]] In the remake, Emma and Jane join your party permanently, alongside [[spoiler: Zed, the TokenGoodTeammate among the demons, who decides he'd much rather fight to protect, than be treated like a nuisance by his fellow demons.]]

** ''VideoGame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'' finds Ichiban, once more, front and center among a group of misfits from every walk of life. In addition to some of his old friends from Yokohama, his new Hawaiian adventure is joined by a local taxi driver, a housekeeper under the employ of his long-lost mother, the leader of a Korean gang from back in Yokohama, and ''Kazuma Kiryu, himself''!

* ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has the player character, Trigger, end up as part of a misfit gang in the form of Spare Squadron, a penal unit, after he was framed by Erusean drones for killing President Harling. Right from the get go, it's clear that Spare's a pretty traditional example of this trope, only with much more arguing and [[DeadpanSnarker snark towards the company leaders]].

** A middle-aged party animal that role plays as a ''Franchise/Power Rangers'' {{Expy}}.

** A TattooedCrook with a fish mask [[TheUnintelligible that speaks only in Fishman noises]] and [[PsychoKnifeNut a love for knives]].
** A party animal that role plays as an {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/PowerRangers Pink Ranger]].

** A man who claims to be the most handsome man left alive.

** A man in a tiger mask ([[AmbiguouslyHuman or a tiger head]]) [[BloodKnight who challenges all the dojos he can find.
** A guy in a fly costume who was the cart racing champion of Garbage Island.

** A gay swordsman who wields six blades like WolverineClaws, joining only since [[IHaveYourWive Brad holds his lover hostage]].

** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': The group starts with two Grey Wardens, who are an entire ''order'' of ragtag misfits. One is a [[spoiler:HiddenBackupPrince and]] former [[MageKiller Templar apprentice]], and the other is you (of course). The rest of the bunch consists of a [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan-snarking]] shape-shifting witch from the forest; a [[HeroesWantRedheads redheaded]] [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fantasy French]] bard who was a priest but joined you after a vision; a [[TheStoic stoic]] [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Qunari]] warrior; a stone golem with an intense hatred of pigeons; an alcoholic dwarven berserker; an elven assassin with very few sexual inhibitions; an elderly [[spoiler:DeadAllAlong]] mage; and possibly, toward the end of the game, [[spoiler:a villainous noble champion]]. Oh, and your [[TeamPet dog]], who's, believe it or not, the OnlySaneMan of the group. The ex-Templar is actually a bastard who was shipped off to a religious life to keep him out of everyone's way; the witch had a rough and isolated childhood and so has NoSocialSkills; bard in this context means spy and assassin who sings; the Qunari you free from prison after he killed eight innocent people; the dwarf joins you after you help him find his [[spoiler:wife who abandoned him to search for an ArtifactOfDoom]]; and the elven assassin was hired to kill ''you'' and makes no secret of it at all. Incidentally, the reason that ItsUpToYou to save the world is because all of the other Grey Wardens in the country are wiped out shortly after the prologue. Despite being the senior Warden by default, your ex-Templar friend doesn't want to lead due to confidence issues and also because he's suffering from a HeroicBSOD caused by the deaths of his father figure and the rest of the Wardens, whom he regarded as his family. So despite whatever trauma you bring from your own MultipleChoicePast, you have no choice but to run the show.

* The kids of ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'' are an idealistic farmhand boy and [[TheBabyOfTheBunch his energetic preschool-aged sister]], a somewhat playful and dorky TeamMom, a grouchy and aloof CityMouse, a GentleGiant that [[BigEater can't stop thinking about food]], a timid and nerdy CuteBookworm inventor, a pair of [[AdorablyPrecociousChild precocious]] [[ThePrankster pranksters]], an overly-quiet and overly-polite MysticalWaif, a young mechanic who [[CompanionCube treats his tools like stuffed animals]], a plucky brat who's [[LeaderWannabe seriously convinced that she's the one in charge of the team]], and a melancholic ex-ChildSoldier. All of whom fight together to end the stronghold of a powerful fascist military on their homes and the loved ones they're trying to save.
