And we finally get at least a quick introduction to the other members of our team. And I suppose I should explain some things for those that don't play MOBA's. In most MOBA's there are 5 main roles. You have the carry, who will late game have the highest sustained dps (damage per second) of everyone in the team. Then you have the mid-laner or mage, who usually have really high burst damage. The Carry is usually helped early game by the support, who is the team tank and frequent initiator or peel. Their damage is usually very low, but their utility to help the team is really high. The mage is usually helped by the jungler, who patrols the area between all three lanes. And frequently the mage will also rotate to help attack other lanes. Then finally we have the solo laner that are to just fight it out on the side. Usually at least somewhat tanky, but more than willing to fight it out.

Now for the team I wanted to create a balance between them such that not only could you easily tell what role they'd likely fill, but would be recognizable enough to get a rough mental image of them while still coming off as alien looking, as this isn't only about Earth, after all.
