Line 8:
Usually how [[The Magnificent Seven Samurai]] get started off. If it's very easy then it's [[You All Meet in An Inn]]. If the hero has already worked with the others, it's [[Putting the Band Back Together]]

* The lead samurai in ''[[Samurai
* Luffy from ''[[One Piece]]'' wants to become a pirate, so he travels the world to assemble a crew.
== [[Comic Books]] ==

* Captain Metropolis from ''[[Watchmen]]'' kept trying to form a league of superheroes, but never ended up getting anywhere. The more positive-thinking costumed heroes who would likely have joined were inevitably turned off by the [[Darker and Edgier]] heroes being obnoxious pricks about the whole enterprise. This didn't stop them working loosely together to cover areas during the police strike however.▼
== [[Film]] ==
* In the beginning of the classic myth ''[[Jason and the Argonauts]]'', Jason assembles a crew of heroes in order to accomplish the quest he's been given.
== [[Literature]] ==
* The Light Warriors of ''[[Eight Bit Theater]]'' certainly fall into the more cynical side of this trope. They even had an early arc about deciding which of the applicants would be allowed to take the job.▼

▲* The lead samurai in ''[[Samurai Seven]]'' was hired to get a group of samurai together to defend villagers who hired him. He even specifies "seven" samurai as the number needed, but settles for three in the interest of time constraints. {{spoiler|he lets two that have been with them from the beginning call themselves "samurai" as time goes on, and they meet another two on the way to the village.}}

* Celes pretty much starts off like this in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' in the second half of the game, though most groupmembers are already known.▼

* ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' opens up with Misho and Marena trying to get other heroes to join them on their quest.
* The Webcomic ''[[Looking for Group]]'', while not a strong example, definitely deserves mention for title-appropriateness. Cale would be that hero.
* ''[[RPG World]]'' has this as the early joke, as Hero was looking for new party members for...no apparent reason, it seems.
