Liz and I were watching the Classic Star Trek marathon on BBC America today, and I had a thought. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are iconic reflections of the social attributes of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
Spock = Intelligence
McCoy = Wisdom
Kirk = Charisma
I wonder if this sort of comparison could be used when introducing new folks to C&C? If so, who do you think would cover Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution?

Re: Attributes according to Star Trek
Tribbles = Charisma.
Apparently, the Star Trek universe cares a great deal about Charisma. No one there fails a save vs. death. Phasers must save against Constitution.
