I have just noticed, that the Ankh-Morporkian Watch might be in some ways model team fo Bridge four.

Grumpy captain from lower class who unexpectably gains power.

Funny outsider (Nobby) -sorry, Lopen.

Old seregant.

Contains minorities.

Royal blood member.

From bunch of loosers to most elite and feared force in nation...

Depressions from loosing people (in Guards! Guards!)

And more to find: your job!:D

None of those things are unique to either group when you boil it down that much. Just to hit those specific traits:

The Cynic

Funny Foregner

Old Soldier

Token Minority

Royal Blood

Took a Level in Badass

Literally every story when a friend dies, ever

To give another example, I could fit the Special Support Section from Falcom's Trails series into those boxes just as easily. Lloyd is the Kaladin/Vimes figure with less grumpiness but a similar background and his team become unexpected heroes of the city after starting out a joke, Elie is royalty (or as close as it gets in Crossbell), Randy is the old sergeant who's seen it all, Tio and later Wazy share funny outsider duty and... there's not really a good spot in there for Noel but in broad strokes she'd map well enough to Angua and Lyn. And that's just the first example that came to mind. I know Brandon likes Discworld but I wouldn't read anything into this vis a vis Bridge Four.

Oh, I am. But you gave me an opening to both quote TVTropes and make a Zero no Kiseki reference and I just had to take it. :D
