[X]While Mindy and Vari are insisting they don't see it, the rest of you can't help but notice similarities in their abilities and personalities. The other three of you collectively insisted on prioritizing people with very different personalities from the five of you, in hopes of expanding your team's capabilities, not merely numbers.
 
[x]Focus on being as sure as possible that they're not compromised. You're... not sure how this will work, exactly, but Miss Horseshoe Crab managed it even though she has trouble telling humans apart. It should be easier if you're helping her. Still slow, though.

This is the most important thing. Nothing else matters if the ones we pick end up being compromised. Secondary priority can be those with different personalities, but we need to be sure of this first.

I'm leaning towards pushing off the sudden but inevitable betrayal for as long as possible.

On the one hand different power-sets are good, on the other hand 'people with very different personalities' tend to clash.

We need more murderhappy people on board, or the votes are going to be very one-sided. :V

...Soo I took a look back at the beginning of this quest at the whole 'strength/weakness' bit and decided to apply that to our fellow MGs to figure out what the breakdown of elements is.
We know our character has Dark as a strength and Light as a weakness. Light seems to be why we can't fight-we aren't to take the center stage. Dark on the other hand, seems to sgugest sneaky intrigue powers and the coup-de-grace spell suggests that. But we also have healing because screw having obvious patterns for the playerbase to figure out. Though we apparently freeze time whenever we do anything magical so that's a thing.

Now the of the update choices, one of them mentions simmilarities between Mindy and Vari. Those two coincidentally are also the Knightly MGs in heavy Metal, so I assume that's their perk. Xi's whole 'tech head' thing suggests Lightning is hers, backed by the zappy powers she has. From there, things become harder.
Vari seems to suggest some sort of 'Water' focus what with the Octopus shield/ marine fauna look to her armor while Mindy's Demonic Spikes suggest 'Dark'...But I half suspect Alina might actually be another 'Dark' type myself, but I'm not too sure that's how it works, and her teleport powers/displayed agility suggest she's Wind instead.
Mindy despite being a Demon-looking Knight apparently goes up like she's drenched in oil so I'm guessing her weakness is Fire...
So final tally looks like this:
Fio: STR: Dark, VUL:Light, Healer/clean-up.
Vari: STR: Metal??? VUL:???, Protective Tank.
Mindy: STR: Metal??? VUL: Fire??? Offensive Tank/Melee?
Xi: STR: Lightning??? VUL:??? Utility/DPS? Goes for the Eyes.
Alina: STR: Wind??? VUL:??? DPS/ Rouge-esque sneaky powers.
...
So thinking on it deeper I'm going to go ahead and guess that the elements are more 'what kills your butt/what can you ignore' versus 'what powers you get.' Buuut the whole 'knight/ranger/classic magical' thing seems like a seperate distinction and something we're just going to have to figure out the hard way. FUNTIMES.
 
More variety is nice, but I really, really don't want to have a sleeper agent in our midst. Or have to suspect that the new members, who will already be different in personality to us, might be sleeper agents. Trust is super important in a guerrilla force like ours. I don't want to play through the "someone among us is passing info to the enemy and we need to figure out who" arc.

Note that we voted a personality that explicitly specifies having a boyfriend and got healing powers based around said boyfriend.

So.

[][Personality]Mulishly stubborn. Many people have given up rather than persist in arguing with you, and trials and tribulations fail to deter you from pursuing your goals.

[][Personality]Melodramatically romantic. You swoon over True Love plots, hope every friend's current boyfriend/girlfriend ends Happily Ever After (Even if they insist commitment scares them), and of course have a boyfriend yourself whom you are currently planning out the baby names for all your future children. Speaking of your wonderful boyfriend...
-[]He's just as devoted to True Love as you are, eternally loyal and dabbing at his eyes when you're crying happily at True Love endings.
-[]He's got a chivalrous streak, though of course you're the only one for him.
-[]He's a quiet, bookish fellow, whom of course you love just the way he is. Though you do wish you'd stop losing track of him...
-[]He spends a lot of time reading books on biology, chemistry, physics... and occasionally talking you into helping him blow up a (fake) volcano. And of course there's that one time he broke his family's fridge when he was scavenging it for parts...

[][Personality]Mean girl. You have a talent for tearing people down, and plenty of people dislike you for it, which is fine by you. They're idiots anyway.

[][Personality]SCIENCE! Everyone knows of your propensity for burying them in the myriad Cool Details of SCIENCE! And blowing up stuff. By accident. And of course taking apart your parent's toaster to try to make a robot when you were six. Just one time!

[][Personality]Justice! Your entire life seems to have been spent looking for a good cause to fight for, which has generally involved protecting something of value. Some people cheer you on from the sidelines, some people get involved, and some people go running if they see you carrying papers on the assumption it's a petition. Which is inconvenient when you're trying to turn in overdue homework...

[][Personality]Quiet. Well, not even really quiet, just... easily overlooked. It's not like you mind, most of the time, but it borders on the comedic how easy it is for people to completely overlook you. Maybe it has to do with your habit of reading all the time...

[][Personality]Radiant. You have a presence, even when you're not doing anything special, enough so people like to joke the sky opens up when you cry.

Which of these maps to our teammates? Quiet seems to suggest stealth powers, for example. While the Justice personality sounds rather knightly.
 
Hrm. Well, I'm gonna say that Mindy I think lands under JUSTICE
Quiet sounds like Alina.
Xi, given that she is NOT clanking around in armor but has shown the ferocity to go for the eyes, I'm thinking she might actually land under Stubborn given the on-going collage thing.
Vari is noted to getting caught in Mindy's crusades, if a bit less interested in getting into directly sneaking around given she tends to get caught...Which suggests a personal weakness of Wind, as well as doing JUSTICE.
So to update my personal chart...
Fia: Melodramatic Romance, Dark+, Light- healer and mercy-killer.
Davion: Melodramatic Romance, ???, ???- technically should not even be a thing but hitched a ride on his beloved's powerup. HMMM!
Mindy: JUSTICE!, ???+, Fire?- (That Plasma gun lit her up like a christmas tree!)
Alina: Quiet? Science?, Wind?+, ????- stealth, teleporting, stabbing fools like a boss.
Vari: JUSTICE!, Water?+, ???- Know the least about her affinites, for all her armor screams she's got good water the way Mindy says she's also a Dark like Fia, given the armor and Fia 'gelling' with Mindy very well.
Xi: Stubborn?, Lighting?+, ???-, punches tech to fry it with lighting. Goes for the eyes.
