Ya know what'd be fun? Character codes. Rilly simple to script...you can go the simple charcode=sword1.png,goldshield-2.png,head30.png,,,,,body.png,gray,orange,blue,gra y,blue;
or the complex huffman-encoded hexed
charcode=0C1AF21D01A83A3
where you trim the unused variables (held-item, horse, I can't remember what #C5-#C7 were anymore...I think #C8 was body), reduce all the swords and shields to numbered entries in a table (where sword1.png is the 209th entry, and goldshield-2.png is the 3058th), heads are trimmed down to just their number (which only works if people have been keeping with my hard-won syntax), then you do the same thing for colors as for shields...only 16 there, so you only need 1 hex value each...

but such things likely only entertain myself. After all, what good's a code like that with nowhere to translate it back, hmm?
