Tangentially, there's no strength stat in Skyrim, so player characters' carry weight is calculated based on Stamina. Logically, based on that, I assume Mugi can also sprint the farthest (if not necessarily the fastest - depends on whether she's wearing heavy armor) of any of the main characters, hold a zoomed-in view in archery for the longest period of time, and carry out the most consecutive power attacks before needing to stop and let her Stamina bar recharge and/or drink one or more green potions. :)

So now I'm considering the members of Hōkago Tea Time as their Elder Tale characters. Yui's a Bard, obviously, because she can only have one interest at a time, so if someone (presumably Ritsu, who plays RPGs canonically) got her into Elder Tale she'd have to play as herself to prevent damage to her real-life skill set. Which would make the transition especially easy for her after the Apocalypse, one has to admit.

The obvious assumption would be that Mio's probably the team's healer, because she doesn't like to fight, but if she actually took the thing seriously as opposed to just rolling a character to humor Ritsu, I could see her mastering the complexities of one of the more esoteric support classes (for instance, as an Enchanter like Shiroe).

Ritsu's all about the DPS, so she'd be a Sorcerer or a Monk. Probably the latter, because she likes to hit things. This is simplistic, but then so, very often, is Ritsu's approach to recreation. :)

Mugi's slightly spacey demeanor and deceptive strength would make her a hilariously convention-breaking Assassin. She seems all nice and ditzy and cheerful, like Marielle, and you assume she's probably a Cleric like her or some other largely-non-combat class, and then you get out of line and she whips out Extermination on your ass.

Similarly, there is no question in my mind that Azusa would make the most pleasantly improbable Guardian in the game. Tiny but indestructible (particularly with Yui and Mio buffing her), and capable of making it so that you can't look away.

The maximum party size in Elder Tale is six, but I'm going to stretch a point and bump it to City of Heroes' eight so that I can get all of the "provisional members" in.

Ui's natural tendency would also be toward one of the healing/logistics classes (either Cleric or Druid, or maybe... whatever Minori's character class is, is it actually Miko or is that just a roleplaying thing, like Akatsuki being a ninja?), though, being Ui, I could see her taking an incongruous subclass (Berserker, perhaps) and making it work somehow. :)

Jun is obviously a Swashbuckler and loving it, with a full suite of Witty Quips to go along with her dual wielding and fancy light armor. The only other class in the game that would sufficiently appeal to her fondness for the dramatic gesture would be Sorcerer, and that's reserved for...

Nodoka, who would have had to be talked into playing more diligently than anybody else because she really doesn't have time for it, but who, as a Person Who Knows What She's Doing, would (once engaged) set herself the task of designing the most efficient character possible. She does this not in the spirit of petty stat-chasing, but because she has a seventh-level computer brain and that kind of thing comes naturally to her. The result, by the time they reach the level cap, is a Sorcerer build whose sheer destructive power beggars belief. Sure, she's a bit weak after the alpha, she can't do anything without a plan, and she's massively dependent on the support network provided by the others, but then Nodoka never does anything without a plan anyway, and Sorcerers were never intended to solo (right, Rudy?).
