Well as you’ve noted, characters in ruby aren’t THAT similar to their counterparts, and for good reason. RT went out of their way to say that they don’t want the inspirations to dominate their characters when fan theories about most JNPR character dying horribly popped up because that happens to their inspirations.

With that in mind I think you are trying to push the monster thing a little too hard with the masks. I, for instance gave all my characters something related to their inspiration that makes it off putting to be around them for long, but none of them are really monstrous in nature, to keep in line with RT’s decision.
