icon Two Custom Character requests (+2)  
Two things I feel would improve the character system graphically and story-wise:

1) Ability to provide extra images in the avatar next to the "normal" portrait to indicate Happy, Angry, Nervous, Striking, and two Player Role only faces: sleeping and death.

Death could also be a separate strip of faces apart from the normal sheet, so as to provide animation sprites, a la Beethro's death. If no death image is added next to the standard batch, then the neutral face is played, like how it currently operates.

2) Ability to set player role sounds, such as room clear, bumping, tired, pit or briar-teetering, character-click sayings, and death sounds. If none are provided, then they use the base character's normal sounds, as currently operating.

The sounds would be an extra menu next to avatar and tile sprites, with a button bringing a pop-up menu with the different sound types for player roles. Then you click the sound category, click "import sound", and import the sound under the menu category (either Wave or Ogg Vorbis.)

The sound menu might be complicated at first, but I always wanted some way to have a female-voiced sword role, instead of the masculine voices of Soldiers, Stalwarts, Beethro, Gunthro, Guards, and Slayers playing whenever I died or cleared a room.
