Here's what I think, Taylor:
Protagonists: only one of them are wearing a gas mask, other than that I think they're neat.
Draconian / Surfacian League: Penelope and Kaylinn, Allandra, Miranda, Liana, Alicia and Gabriella all have gas masks, other than those I think it's neat. I especially like Emily and Keira.
Ciraian League: Nico, Jaina and Reena have gas masks, aside from those, I think it's okay. I like the van Graan sisters.
Sylraphian League: thirteen ladies wearing gas masks... and ignoring those, I think they look neat. Obviously, Charlotte Mia Oliver is my favorite one. Rodney's hair is too weird.
Irovan League: again, a lot of gas masks... I think they're neat, ignoring those scary ones.
Elvanian League: only five of them wearing gas masks, but still. Aside from those scary ones, I think they look neat; I like how Faith (based on a Unova Cheerleader) is on her own instead of with the other half, as with Riley and Dezi.
In other words...
Shane should definitely avoid this (and so should I).
