** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' has Ryder's party form like this. Initial squadmates Liam and Cora are there from the start. Then Vetra just sort of attaches herself when Ryder gets the ''Tempest''. Peebee and Drack are met on the first planet Ryder goes to, and decide to join them (Peebee because Ryder's investigating the same alien technology she is, and Drack because he's looking for a good fight). Finally, Jaal joins up on behalf of the local resistance to see if the Initiative is on the level.

As she hopes to use his status as a PersonOfMassDestruction to cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and he's just fallen in LoveAtFirstSight, the two agree to become a team and journey across the world - she to convince him to want to use his powers (as he's ''not'' keen on the idea of world destruction), and him because...hey, the pretty girl asked. They soon meet Taupy, a bounty hunter who is first paid to keep tabs on them for Felis Rex, but eventually decides to join the group because Kyrie is a NiceGuy and that's a very strange thing (especially if he's capable of ending the world as Morte thinks he is). Morte suggests they seek out her old friend Agan to use his ship (since hers [[DrivesLikeCrazy got wrecked somehow]]), but it turns into a RecruitmentByRescue when they discover he's been captured and is undergoing some ColdBloodedTorture due to the FantasticRacism that humans and beastmen have against each other. He's reluctant to get involved in any of Morte's craziness, but eventually decides [[TeamMom it's better to keep on eye on them]] - and because Kyrie's nice to the point of insanity. Later, Rhi'a - the [[CuteMonsterGirl dragonkin]] who's been hanging around with Felis Rex - decides to join because she, too, is curious about Kyrie (especially since she's aware of his destiny and didn't expect the Destruct to have emotions at all, much less to be kind and polite), and because [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight she thinks it's the thing to do, even if dragons are supposed to be strictly observers of the fate of the world, not participants in it]]. This seems to make a full roster, but TheSixthRanger [[spoiler:Naja, the guy you controlled briefly in the beginning,]] decides to join the team just after the mid-point of the game, [[MagneticHero once again because Kyrie is so strangely nice to everyone]] [[spoiler:and he can't believe he asked him to kill him in order to prevent himself from losing control of his powers and ending the world. Furthermore, he has a hard time accepting that someone could be resurrected after he stabbed them in the chest, but if anyone deserves a second chance, it's Kyrie]]. It's not a DebutQueue because there's plenty of ''other'' plot going on between character collections.

When you're a callow youth charged with halting some EvilOverlord's rise to power, life ain't easy. Your home village probably [[GullibleLemmings won't support you, and may actively oppose you]] ([[DoomedHometown assuming it's still there]]); your parents are most likely [[ParentalAbandonment dead and/or gone]] [[LukeIAmYourFather and/or evil]]; and the one thing you need to vanquish the evil -- the MacGuffin or SpiritAdvisor or whatever -- is an [[TheQuest Epic Quest]] away. And again, you're but a callow youth, with not the mad skillz needed to pull off this most solemn of tasks. At least, not alone.

In computer role-playing games with a party of playable characters, they are usually encountered this way. An aggravating variation occurs in many western-style [=CRPGs=] in which you can only have so many party members at once. While you can still only recruit certain characters, you have to dump current party members temporarily in order to change around your party. Since there's no console-style portable hyper-dustbin to leave spare companions, you actually have to track them down again if you want them back. In some games, they may be so insulted by being discarded that they're LostForever.

That\'s Not A Subversion, just not an example.

* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' is another borderline example. Subverted in that none of the eventual Fellowship of the Ring (with the exception of Merry and Pippin) are encountered by random chance, but rather by design. Further subverted when the Fellowship is sundered long before The Quest is completed.
** At least, that's how it's presented [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings in the film]]. In the book, Merry and Pippin realized that Frodo was going to leave the Shire, and recruited Sam to help them come along, as they wouldn't dream of leaving Frodo with his burden alone.
