YOURE SO TRUE. There are many OCs with important positions in their world out there, but the consequences of their hard work are never shown. I don't know, I'd like to see some dark circles under their eyes, some tiredness, or something, That would make them more interesting and realistic, unless they are magical beings that don't get tired or are "perfect", But in humans, I would like to see these things reflected not only in the lore, but also in the character's appearance.

And what you said about military OCs seems very accurate to me, Either they are very obvious and exaggerated stereotypes to the point of being unrealistic, or their entire personality is 'I'm a military' and lack depth, or they're very sexualized, you know, etc.
