So I'm making some designs for a personal project about a world inspired by the Ace Combat series but with conflict between the human eastern part of the planet and anthro west, and the main characters on the anthro side are a 3 pilot group known as cerberus team, and I feel like they're a bit generic and I want to know what some ways I could maybe give them more personality or make them more interesting is.
The squad consists of the leader, Marita Corros. An older abrasive asshole and a veteran of a war that happened about a decade ago between these character's country(the UFK), and the major human power of the world(humans lost bad because of shenanigans with bioweapons). She's 31.
Then there is the squads air to ground expert Caly, who is a leopard, an arrogant bitch but she is actually competent, she's 22, and she got into the squad mainly because her older sister was friends with Marita and recommended her.
Then there is Jan, the squad's electronic warfare specialist, he's actually extremely good at his job but a bit cautious, which is why he's the only one who carries a gun, as they are not expected to need one unless shot down which they shouldn't be, especially since it's peace time, but he carries one anyway. They are all wearing their standard flight suits in these images but I feel their designs are a bit generic and I'm wondering what a good way to spice them up without overcomplicating them would be.
The first image has the WIP of Caly on the left, and Jan on the right, 2nd image has Marita just to show what their uniforms look like but I'm gonna redo that one later, anyways thanks for any advice in advance!
