This ended up plaguing me until I bit the bullet and reconstructed them, (Fig .02) repairing and polishing each character so they each shined as powerful individuals without outshining one another (Fig.03 - 04). I'll talk about that more a little later, since these five aren't the only characters involved, but the formula is more or less the same.
