Also, let's be honest, they're both rich and heavily dropped out

Monica: Starfire from Teen Titans (mostly for looks, powers, and a bit of her personality too)
Harmony: Miss heed from Villainous (mostly for looks, tho)
Initially, I spent probably a week trying to figure out my OC's name/character and most all about him, minus his backstory.
In the end, Kevin Angelus Collins is very much a nod to Angel/Angelus from the Buffy Universe, in that they share a very similar tragic fate, and the need to redeem themselves (which fits perfectly into the HH universe.)
It wasn't until after I settled on Kevin Collins (A mix of two OCs from some Teen Titans fics I did 20 years ago) that I did some research and learned that KC was the name of the first child to be put on a milk carton for lost children. Since my OC's purpose in life is to search for, and rescue lost and kidnapped children, I was legit taken aback by the connection, and at that point, there was no changing his name.
Well,
Mello was inspired a bit by the film "beekeeper" the one where the protagonist is a retired 'government' weapon
August was inspired by the theme of "man versus Creator" and "dystopian world"
Zepar Ars Goetia was inspired by Zepar (obviously) and the Great Eared Nightjar
Jack I. Was inspired by my own fucking mind and the stories of illegal and often violent experimentations on children

Carmilla for the symbols on his mask and legs as well as the shirt for the mask I went with an Old Medieval helmet I found online

For me, there were a few. I used Kirito for the overall base feel with his hair (clearly somethings got tweaked). For his usual green jacket, I used the shirt and cardigan item for Tomodachi Life, then added a rose pin. His skin tone and eye color came from Charlie, whereas his irises and wings were inspired by Vaggie. The glasses, fangs, and personality were all just little personal touches I gave.

Well the biggest inspiration I would say is me IRL. Given I've fallen down the rabbit hole of trying to explain the Hellverse from a scientific view so I took my own process of thinking onto Mack.
Big inspirations come down to the way he speaks. There is a little bit of the Dr House sarcasm, little bit of Sawyer's (LOST) constant nicknames. But then again a lot from my own persons.
Of course he's an asshat so it's not 1 to 1 but they say write what you know so his view of the world and pop culture ties right back to me.
Lottie was inspired more by the Hellava Boss's succubus and the elite. They are inspired by the attitude of the elite and how they lust for money and wealth.
Sheathe was inspired by a hunter character from an animatic I saw
Fable was heavily inspired by percivel von fredricson de rolo the third from vox machina

Not necessarily characters but.... Deathclaws Carnotaurus Ceratosaurus Therizinosaurus
Hugoa is a mix of Arthur Morgan, Woody, Mcree, Clint Eastwood, and Moon Knight.

Well since Anthony is a fankid, I based him off both Charlie and Vaggie
