Hi! Sorry, I'm new to posting on this forum though I've loved playing so many of the mods here. I hope I'm posting in the right place/format.

Would it be possible to have an appearance randomizer or customizer, meaning that generic units would have randomized hair/eye color and skin tones? The all-blonde party is fine, but I think it would be even cooler to have characters that looked visually unique that carried over through job changes. So for example, a generic unit that could have brown skin, gray eyes, and red hair consistently whether they're a knight, white mage, etc. But a different generic character could have tan skin, blue hair, and brown eyes etc. That way, you could have multiple units of the same class that still look visually distinct. I feel like that would be really fun in terms of immersion and personal attachment to units.

Would there be a practical way to randomize unit appearance that way if we decided on a pool of colors for the randomizer to draw from? and if not, would it be possible to have an in-game hex code customization option for hair eyes and skin?

If both of those would be too difficult, I suppose just spicing up the standard job sprites and portraits with new static combinations of hair/eye/skin colors would still be nice. As long as it's within reason and suits the in-game palette; I wouldn't want something too unrealistic like neon purple skin or oversaturated hair that would clash w the rest of the game. but human skintones and fun hair colors like a plum, muted pink, a chartreuse or turquoise would be cool, as long as it matches the slightly sepia tone ~parchment~ art style.
