The Echidna Tribe

Been working on Agora's Legends again for a while now. Latest build is up on Echidna Tribe if you have a Cave Story data folder to use it with. I'm currently working on making the player character... exist. Need to add some kind of skin support. Should I try to do it Super Mario War style, with just a simple sheet that gets recolored by the game? Or should I go into even more detail and invent some crazy mechanism to select different hair styles, hats, etc.?
