The above designs cater to the majority, making them largely feel bland.

but at first glance nothing pops out at me here. I like my characters to have, well, character.

 

I'm getting a confused message here, though. You're saying only flamboyant characters can have character?

 

I'm saying there is character and character design.  Character design is memorable or iconic.  Mario is a great character design due to color balance and simplicity making him "pop".  

When I see a character I make a snap judgment based on character design.  If they look bland then I am not drawn to them.  I was saying that once you play the game it is possible for them to show greater depth, but on the surface they all blend together making them largely forgettable.
