Using player character sprites for companions?

[FDru]

Is it possible (like in Elona) to use the same sprites for companions as the player character? As in where you can choose their hair/etc and also see their equipment.

If so, how?

if you tell your companion to wait at home they then show up on the resident board and you can toggle/edit PCC to give them the same sprite customization you have. you can also swap portraits and change their name

In fact, the sprite editor for NPCs has a lot more customization options than your own, which makes exporting that sprite and overriding your own a possibility. And in my game at least, the default creator loads a cape and tail you can't remove; so the workaround is nice.
