Yes, in escence, this is what I'm talking about. I won't
be concern with small things such as hair color and
facial features but body-size and hats (helmets), I will.

It would except for the fact that a character can change
clothes (armor) and weapons at any time in the game. What's
more, there is 8 directions a character can move and attack
in. 3 walking positions, 3 attacking positions, 3 armor
types, and 7 weapon types. I also factor in if a character
is wearing a helmet or bearing a shield. If I only show the
weapon when the character is attacking I can limit the
sprite-set to 2304 sprites per character but no less. I can
provide you with the function I use to calculate all this
with if you want.
I hope I've explained it better this time,
Lewis Towsnend
