How do I change the main character's sprite?

I guess it's self explainatory. I've been trying to figure it out for a while.

If on start-up you change that in the database. If you made a new one make certain to add a new number to the herolist and play with it. :)

It is a kind way to start ^^

Thank you a ton, but for example my character is dreaming and he is a certain sprite. After he wakes up he turns into his real "sprite" How would I make that transition?

i'd say it's pretty simple.
just do it like this:
make 2 versions of the dudes
dude-reg(normal character)
dude-dream

place your starting guy in the location you start
do whatever you want in that area
then when you do the switch to the other character
the event would be the change actor graphic thing

There is an Event command.
Event Page 3
System Settings

You don't need to create another actor. If you do that, you'll lose lvl, equipment, ect. Do this...

Screen 3 > System Settings > Change Actor Graphic

This will allow you to keep your actor, level, equipment, ect. It'll only change appearance. Good to use if you want their look to change as they wear different armor. I use in my game.
