Well really, Jake was supposed to be just a temporary substitute pilot till Mai recovers. I just don't know what direction to go with her at the moment so that's kind of why I made Jake similar to Mai.

If you're stuck with mai, the last thing you should be doing is making a similar concept. The best way to get inspiration for something is to take your mind off it completely and come back to it later. I also kind of disagree with the idea of a substitute, because that feels kind of cheat-y compared to the others that play only one pilot.
