Use some words. A generic group pose will only say so much. What are you going to do with these guys?
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
If we can use both I'll do my level best to get a couple of pics of Jessica and a description of the character.

^^^ Two of them appear to be significantly underage and it looks like some kind of fantastical work set in medieval times....with Japanese anime hairstyles.
Personality wise I get the feeling the tall one on the left is aloof and distant, the one to her left (over on the right) is shy but watching, the girl in front to the left is very forward and confrontational and the boy well he just looks the happy-go-lucky part of "This is real? Sweet!".
Is one of them the person in your avatar? Three of them look pretty young though.

...eheh
What I plan to do with them? Main characters of an adventure series basically.
Help?.. please...

From an amateur artist's perspective, I see 4 clones with similar frontal hair styles, only differentiated from the back, and even then, could use some more severe differentiation.
But from a writer, it seems easy enough to archetype-them.
Read my stories!
Do you plan for this to be a comic or more prose-y?
I see four animes posing as animes often do. They don't really seem to have differentiating characteristics, so it's hard to tell each anime apart.

Thought I'd try writing up a bio for the main character in my novel, Jessica Evan. Run it as a Self-Demonstrating Article and finally get around to getting those images. Now forgive the poor quality, they were taken with a iPhone 4 on WWE 14 which is not the best but the most accurate.
You're wondering about me? Well my name is Jessica Evan, I'm a constable in the Victoria Police stationed in Geelong. That's a city roughly an hour train ride from Melbourne, Australia. The short story is in high school it was suggested to me that I might find the police force a good idea, but I faced critics who believed that I couldn't do it because I'm aboriginal. They weren't racist in saying so, nevertheless I worked my ass off to prove them wrong and after the academy moved from my family ranch in Ipswich for the job where I stay with a university student, David Taylor, while he studies biology.
I had mainly worked in the area of youth crime and low level incidents: road accidents, assaults, trying to maintain order when the Cats play football here, Geelong doesn't have the crime as seen in the Melbourne gangland war, but when a male to female transgender was found shot and murdered it was all hands on deck, so I am trying to juggle my part of the investigation with the escalation of young offenders, street gangs, including an attempted rape.
I'm hourly, so if you would like the full story read over the tropes below.
- The Ace: Tall, strong, athletic, smart, good police knowledge, and ability to use force if people are not reasonable, so people claim about me. I may have these skills but haven't really been in a position to use them, and for all those things I'm not a detective, I haven't been able to solve crimes like an ace type would.
- Action Girl: That comes with the territory, I have used force when needed, reasonable force (physicality is considered reasonable when someone is threatening isn't it?) and by all accounts I do it well, not to brag.
- Adorkable: Kinda, I went through the academy with Emily Morgan when she was there to train as a detective, and with my keen interest in studying for the police she got me into the Crime Time Soap dramas and Australian television of the police. They're great, enjoyable, if not entirely accurate, there's differences that I can easily point out.
- Adult Fear: Not being able to survive, financially. My whole life becoming the job and ending up alone.
- All Crimes Are Equal: That would be an Inverted Trope, I try not to let my anger at how low someone is no matter what the crime, and instead focus on them facing the courts where regardless of what they have done they are equal, and will be dealt with accordingly.
- Always Someone Better: Of course there is, I'm a firm believer of this. For the skills I'm praised for I think my best asset is my patience, my tolerance. I see others who have more experience, more judgmental in the use of force (they resort to it more than I would,) better investigators, maybe better shots as I hadn't ever had to do so. Do I angst over it? No, of course I want to do the job better, the best I can, but happy to do what I can as part of the team.
- Amazonian Beauty: I'm six feet tall, athletic and strong. Part of that's good genes, part of it was the effort I put in before joining the police and every day so I feel up to doing the job.
- The Anti-Nihilist: My personal belief? Being bitter, cynical and jaded will drive you insane. If it gets to you why dwell on it?
- Apologetic Attacker: I feel the need to when, y'know, my job requires an arrest or otherwise...compelling those who do the wrong thing to held accountable.
More to come, but you may get the idea.

Semi-finished drawing, but I'm afraid to mess it up. -w- And a bit of smudging sorry.
