Am I the only one that thinks the team is just straight up based on Journey to the West?

Sun Wukong, based on Sun Wukong, has his staff, monkey theme, the whole scchtick.

Neptune could be based on Sha Wuxing, the river demon who wields a spade, often depicted as a guandao.

Scarlet could then be Zhu Bajie, in a turn about being made really bishi in response to the character's ugliness.

Then Sage... Whose name is Sage, a title often associated with Xuanzang, the other principle character in the story alongside Sun.
