For Pomni, I kinda wanted her personality to shift a bit from Riko, the character she is playing—it's basically about when you wanted to do something really bad as a kid, but the dream kinda falls apart as you get older. Then something reignites your passion for what you loved, and you decide to just take the plunge and go for it. Literally, in this case. As much as the Abyss called to her, she grew distant from it as time went on, showcasing her typical anxiety before she later became more confident. She still has extensive knowledge of the Abyss, but y'know. She uses it more when she's assisting new cave raiders until the plot starts.

And for Caine, I imagine he has two sides to him: his goofy ringmaster persona, and a more serious, but contemplative self. Not exactly having a god complex, due to his lack of knowledge of his purpose. There are supernatural forces at work surrounding the Abyss—more Lovecraftian than magical. Some relics can have world-bending abilities, and as for Caine, he's mostly mechanical, aside from the fact that he is nearly indestructible and has a laser canon that can destroy anything. Inexplicably, he is made of these relics, while also having very human properties and functions.
