Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

I know this is terrible, but I find it fascinating in a sort of juvenile, teen magazine personality quiz, collect all the dolls type of way.

We've got our Businessman, Jock, Normcore main character, Sensitive Grunge Musician, Dweeb and Rebel.

Ignoring the manosphere bullshit and blithely viewing this as a team of characters planning a heist, or potential matches in a farming game or dating sim, how is this not kind of cool?

This would actually be a pretty funny premise for a heist movie. Have them stealing Lambos from a crypto conference or something.

If this was a dating sim, alpha would talk nonstop how sexy his cranium shape is while 5 others are doing a shooting on the background.

Then he'd hit you and tell you its your fault.
