 ## Gig roster
 
-**Open:** final count and names. Start from a **small roster** with **clear party niches** so **recruitment talk** (chat or any future tool) and **encounter** design stay legible; grow over content seasons.
+**First draft (v0):** **eight gigs**—**two per archetype** across four archetypes: **damage**, **tank**, **heal**, **util**. Names and identities are **placeholders** until abilities and fiction pass over them.
 
-**Starter archetypes to cover (working labels, not final):**
+| Archetype | Gig (working name) | Draft identity (how it differs from its pair) |
+|-----------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
+| **Damage** | **Breach** | Spike and focus: burst windows, priority-target removal, “delete one problem now.” |
+| **Damage** | **Suppressor** | Sustained pressure: cleave, stagger, lane control—keeps many threats busy. |
+| **Tank** | **Bulwark** | Anchor tank: stand ground, hard mitigation, bodyguard space for the group. |
+| **Tank** | **Skirmisher** | Mobile tank: pick up strays, reposition fights, mitigation through movement and timing. |
+| **Heal** | **Sawbones** | Direct recovery: triage spikes, raw throughput, “fix the bar now.” |
+| **Heal** | **Synthesist** | Preventive / layered: shields, HoTs, slow cleanses—flatten damage before it spikes. |
+| **Util** | **Interceptor** | Shutdown: debuffs, interrupts, strip or punish enemy plans—offensive support. |
+| **Util** | **Conductor** | Enable: group buffs, resource or tempo hooks, “make the party’s next play bigger.” |
 
-| Niche | Job in a fight |
-|--------|------------------|
-| Mitigation / control | Hold space, reduce harm to the group |
-| Healing / cleansing | Recover HP, strip bad states |
-| Damage (single / cleave) | Primary threat removal |
-| Utility / debuff | Weaken targets, enable others |
+**LFG / niches:** the four **archetypes** map cleanly to “need damage / tank / heal / util.” A **conditional** LFG tool ([Party, encounters, and recruitment](#party-encounters-and-recruitment)) can treat **archetype** as the coarse tag and **gig** (or loadout) as the fine print—**open**.
 
-Cyberpunk paint (netrunner overlay, street sam, corp tech, etc.) layers on these **mechanical** niches—**open** which niches map to launch gigs.
+**Still open:** final **display names**, which **weapon or gear families** attach to which gig, **sub-gig** pairings that feel bad, and whether we add a ninth gig before launch. Cyberpunk **skin** (corp vs street, chrome metaphors) layers on after kits exist.
