That I know of (please fill in if you feel like it):
Wild Wombat: Murgen, a Dorf Fighter/Rogue
Gaia_Nostra: Avendur, a Human Cleric (Lathander)
Twilighteyes: Cullen, a Human Minstrel (yes, minstrel. Be sure to ask, lol)
Rumple_C: Lofty, a Hin Rogue/Fighter
Akivaria: we have yet to meet, but Aki's PC did wander rather grumpily into the bar last Friday as things were winding down and I was not surprised to see a gnome.
joshmad: Tegrin a Hin of unknown capability (we have not met).
But that is just the low levels and for Ayergo's sanity, I am pretty sure that we will sooner rather than later be rolling up into one large party. (Led by the current low-levels, of course. 
)
So, I'd say:
- we've got rogue covered, especially if Tegrin is one, but then again, you can never have too many rogues, is my philosophy.
- we've got too many bards, but then again, I say that you can never have too
few bards *rim shot*
- Aki may be playing a gnome prestidigitator which woud be great since it would cover magic user. But I haven't played with Aki in many years, so my powers of prediction are probably suspect.
Play a cleric if that suits you... one that buff into a front line fighter would be great since Murgen seems to be semi-reluctantly filling the role of "tank".
But really, HEEGZ, play what you want to play. Never sacrifice your own enjoyment for party balance.
