The Cool Kids Party

For a side project, I'm thinking of running a cool kids party. Who do you think should be in it? So far I've got:

Coran - F/Th
Kivan - Ranger
Yeslick - F/C
Eldoth - Bard
Skie - T

Then, maybe, an elven F/M or enchanter?

Who do you think the cool kids are?

    Define what you mean by "cool kids". People with high Charisma?

    @Zaxares - not necessarily. I'm thinking more along the lines of their personalities. Though I'm enjoying these other interpretations.

    Thinking about types who are some mix of high charisma/charming/outgoing/devil-may-care for the criteria of "coolness":
    Coran the player
    Safana the temptress or Baeloth the alliterating puppet master or Skie the rich kid
    Eldoth the slippery snake or Xan the enchanter
    Alora the optimist
    Faldorn the rebel with a cause

    To make this work you'll possibly need Skie to have an accident, maybe have Safana dual to mage after using the tome. Charname will need to be tank for balancing this party realistically, maybe berserker or barbarian or dwarven defender. But of course that is conventional thinking. No reason you could not be a sorceror or something and still make this work. Coran can tank in a pinch :D

    In particular I have to disagree with Kivan from your list. Single minded, brooding, dry and quiet. Low charisma score. I just can't see the fit. Yeslick is boring, straight laced, low Int, low Cha. Meets your need for a front liner though.

    Thinking about this, I would love to see the banters for Alora and Xan from BG1 NPC. I'll work that into my next playthrough.

    I tend to think Eldoth, Coran, Dorn, Neera, and Safana for BG1. You could try Baeloth instead of Neera maybe, he's a touch nerdier I think.

    Cool kids to me means confident, independent, do what they like types.

    I'm thinking Edwin, Coran, Imoen, Branwen, Baeloth, Dorn, Safana, Ajantis, Faldorn and Eldoth. Take your pick...

    Ajantis seems more like a narc, aka very uncool. ;)

    Think Tackleberry from Police Academy. Naively good and a bit over the top, but cool... B)

    Minsc- Has the biggest swords, and everyone knows swords are cool

    Kagain- All about that money

    Faldorn- has that "hippie commune dweller cult member" aesthetic

    Xan- The goth one

    Kivan- the emo one

    I didn't include Minsc on my 'cool' list because of his ties to Dynaheir. From what I can tell from pop-culture, independent = 'cool', being tied to another person = 'uncool'.

    I tried to think of who would have been cool at 12 - 15 yo, since its about cool kids after all. Thats why those are somewhat immature characters you'd totally have smoked cigarettes with.

    @Balrog99 I suppose that's a maybe, but he'd need to spec in the light crossbow of speed then, for thematics.
