Some really good guesses. I like the idea of inversing the cursed personas, (even though Hook never had one), so here's my guesses:

Regina - During the first curse, Regina made herself the closest to a queen in a small town, the mayor. While a mayor is supposted to help the citizens, Regina was obviously trying to punish everyone for their slights in the EF, so she was just self serving. Now Regina would run a shelter and soup kitchen. She would constantly be fighting with the mayor (probably the new big bad) to get funds for her work, and being dismissed. Basically, before she had the means to help everyone and didn't, and now she wants to help everyone but doesn't have the means.

Rumple - During the first curse, Rumple made himself a pawn store owner, as well as owner of much of the town, because it allowed him to control everyone and make deals. Now Rumple would be a monk. He has no possessions (of his own or others) because of his vow of poverty. He also isn't involved in everyone's business, because his faith is more important than the trival town politics. Basically, before he had everyone's stuff and was super involved, and now he has no one's stuff and is super removed.

Hook - Hook never had a cursed persona before, so we can't do an inverse of that, so I'm just going to choose something that both amuses me and is fanservic-y. Hook would be a lifeguard. He is good at swimming, but often gets distracted by his own needs and interests. He took the job because he though it would be easy work, and he'd get to show off his body, while getting to look at other people's hot bodies. Basically, before Hook was always goal oriented (both with killing Rumple and then with persueing Emma), and now he has no goals.
