Now its starting to look like a character editor! Face pictures are still multiples of 48x48 but now they're single images. It's a little too much for faces to also be in composite parts, but you could still do things like change equipped armor appearance or if the user is allowed to customize their look that they can pick out a face picture they want to use (or upload one, there's a weird idea in the context of a single player RPG game).

Or as some other authors have done, put something else instead of a face (some additional status indicator, class indicator, etc.). Characters will be represented as their character sets under save slots party previews instead of faces as it was in 2003.
