Well hey alan, I guess what I'm thinking is 3 body types + a ton of faces + a 
ton of hairstyles plus a bunch of clothing/hats will give us enough options but 
do you disagree?

When we make this system, presenting the user with limited / simple options
is kewl with me (or whatever the decision is) but behind the scenes i
deffinately want to make a system robust enough to make really diverse and
unique looking people.

That way we can use the same tech to create NPC's from in editor, or have
script random up some people if ever needed.
