get all hair/beard/skin color/eye sprites + jumpsuits + eyewear maybe
make a dumb php character selection gizmo, requiring a forum login, that simply ends up saying "i need that sprite and that sprite" etc
make a dumb whatever cgi language script that will mix the images together, skin first, then jumpsuit, then facial features, then just zoom it as needed; feed it the sprite names selected in the php script and retrieve the final image, saved somewhere convenient in regards to the account who logged in the character selection thingy
keep up a sql database linking forum usernames to the images
mod phpbb so that the avatar selection screen says "retrieve character" which simply changes the avatar to the image linked to the username
i guess that's how I'd do it
