the Squad's leader, CAIT - eternally optimistic; we're looking for someone who can oscillate between nurturing one character and knocking another character down a peg; think of a teacher who has to manage a classroom of personalities - they need to be able to stay on their toes and shift roles fluidly; also, you'll probably need a good battle cry; character touchstones: Leslie Knope in Parks and Rec; Annie from Community.
Cait’s sister-in-arms, head in the space clouds; gung-ho to be a part of the action, but a little fuzzy on the details; she's always trying to jam a square peg into a round hole by forcing her pacifism onto Starfighter pals; even though she is easygoing, she will fight to defend herself and her friends, however; character touchstones: Britta from Community and Abbi from Broad City.
an A+ fighter jockey; takes everything a little too lightly; has always overflowed with natural talent, so he's cocky beyond belief. He's usually able to get himself out of the messes he creates because of this cockiness; character touchstones: Jake from Brooklyn 99 and G.O.B. in Arrested Development.
the squad captain; more concerned with what's for dinner; he's the leader in name only. Cait runs the show, but Leto takes all the glory (when there is any); character touchstones: Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock and George Bluth from Arressted Development.
