Avatar? XDDD

Gosh, that's a little disheartening, but if the Avatar (from either game that has one) really is that unpopular, then yeah, s/he is definitely a character I'd put on here, above all others. S/he really made his/her games feel special in the sense that since the player created him/her, s/he felt especially fun to use, and even though New Mystery of the Emblem's Avatar didn't have much in the way of story significance, s/he was still a pleasure to see in battle, cutscenes, and the like, because s/he is your character! Seriously, I just can't comprehend why people are against this...

Radiant Dawn also gives me a nice fanservice package in the form of that short hair.

I'm personally partial to PoR Marcia in that department, but it's a good thing that happened to Lucia in RD, because Marcia made the mistake of letting her hair grow out

I don't really understand what's going on here, but yes, this is my first account.

It's not like I have a big hacking project in mind. It would just be FE7, the maps and stuff unchanged; just a few custom characters and altered cutscenes (mostly like MageKnight 404's FE7 Hack, because it looked like fun to make something like that...), if that's any less daunting a task. Frankly, if I want to do an original story, I'd just write one.

From the Ultimate Tutorial:

First, you need a portrait with frames and a chibi. I can’t help you with this. This is a spriting thing. You’ll have to learn how to sprite and make your own portraits or request portraits from others (the latter is a bit difficult—people don’t wait around for random people to request portraits, most of the time).

Does this refer to custom portraits or all portraits? If it's just the custom portraits, then where do the existing portraits come from, or rather, is there a program in FEditior or Nightmare that can pull them from the game data? The answer may be in the Ultimate Tutorial as well, but if so, I haven't found it yet...

EDIT:
I THINK I may have figured out part of it. Using FEditor's Portrait Editor, I saved Marisa's portrait data as .png files, and then loaded them over Lyn's data. I clicked Save each time to make them stick. However, I'm still yet to figure out how to apply those changes to the actual game, since Lyn's portrait is still there.

EDIT 2:
Okay, read further into the tutorial, and finally made the change stick, so mission accomplished... for now. Now to figure out how to change the displayed name...

EDIT 3:
I noticed something strange. Just playing around with Nightmare's Character Editor, I altered Lyn's parameters somewhat (growth rates and element in particular) and now she only attacks enemies from the map, instead of going into the battle screen (I did check the options menu, and it's supposed to go to the battle screen). The reason I figured this is that Sain and Kent's stats are left untouched, but they still go into the battle screen.
Speaking of Sain and Kent, by the way, I'd replaced their portraits with Amelia and Franz, respectively (yeah, I'm sure it's going to be an interesting tale. Feel free to ask me about the storyline I have in mind). Now, as funny as it was to see Amelia try to hit on Marisa (a cutscene that will be changed, obviously, not that I have a problem with lesbianism or anything ), their faces are glitched. I'm guessing The Sacred Stones had some sort of programming associated with portraits that Blazing Sword lacked, and I'm guessing I have to erase part of their face display that's incompatible with FE7, but I don't know what part. Oddly, Marisa's portrait transition turned out fine, though I'm guessing that's because either Lyn's face had wider range or Marisa lacked that facial feature that's not compatible with FE7...
Here are some pictures showing my problem:



Also, is it possible for Eliwood's Knight Lord class with Durandal, Hector's Great Lord Class with Armads, and Lyn's Blade Lord Class with Sol Katti to be primary battle sprites instead of alternates for when those weapons are used?
