#yaakov

Yaakov:

I think he'd be a Rogue. This is the man who tricked his brother to get his Birthright, and tricked his father to get the Blessings, tricked Lavan to get his rightful dowry, and fought a literal angel. This man is not afraid to resort to trickery and deception for what he thinks is right. At times he's morally grey because of this, but ultimately his actions pay off in the end. He's a tactition, he carefully divided his household when preparing to battle Esav, and he's a diplomat. This is a jack-of-all-trades and a genius.

For his alignment, he'd be Chaotic Good. He's good, but boy is he just an unbridled source of chaos.

Moshe:

He'd be a Paladin. He's obviously one of the greatest leaders of our time, and he's both a clan leader and a fighter. He speaks to G-d and argues with G-d, and fights Mitzraim, Amalek, the men at the well, and anyone who dares threaten his people. He's imbued with prophecy and connection to G-d, although sometimes he makes grievous mistakes.

For his alignment, he'd be Neutral Good. I was going to say "lawful good", but since when has Moshe ever followed the letter of the law? He's absolutely good, but sometimes he makes mistakes, and even talks back to G-d. (I think we're seeing a theme here with Tanakh figures and talking back to G-d XD).

Miriam:

Kind of obvious, but she'd be a Bard. She's associated with music, after all she helped compose Shirat HaYam, and led the Jews in song and praise after the splitting of the sea. The timbrels she and the women had were taken from their Egyptian masters when they were preparing to leave Egypt, and I think that's pretty badass. It's in her merit that the Jews had water in the desert, and she's smart and headstrong. She was the one who suggested to Batya to make Yocheved Moshe's wetnurse, and if we go by Midrash, she was also one of the midwives who defied Pharoah's orders and saved the Jewish babies. She also rebuked her father and all the Jewish men for divorcing their wives out of fear of the Egyptians, and she's confident and wise.

For one, he’s our ancestor, so that’s why we look up to him. It’s not because he’s perfect. Secondly, the whole point of Judaism is that people are capable of good and bad, that we are given free choice and that we can always change, and we can always continue to make mistakes, that to err is human.

Finally, what culture has perfect role models? Certainly not Christianity, whose hero canonically refuses to help a Canaanite woman at first, humiliating her for a long period before finally healing her. Certainly not the Greeks or the Romans, whose heroes routinely do immoral things above the ability and inclination of Yisroel. Who then?
