Profile Pic and Character Token / Suggestions

Hello guys, maybe you can help me out if this is already possible... if not, here is a suggestion (two actually): 1. Some friends and I are in multiple games, always with the same avatar/profile picture. Is it possible to have a different avatar for each game? (So we can have the avatar of our characters). If not, this would be cool. 2. If it *is* possible to change the avatar inside a game, would be super-cool if we could link it to the character-token. I mean, with a character as a rollable table the token can have many sides (like walking, drawing a sword, readying a bow, etc.). Now, if I draw a few versions of my character (walking, with sword, with bow) then every time I change the token to match what they are using, the avatar would change too... like a diablo/baldur's gate character icon on sheet. Are any of these remotely possible? Thank you everyone. Loving Roll20.
In the Chat Window there is a dropdown list that contains all characters you have access to. IF said character sheet has an image uploaded to it and you select it, your image in Roll20 will change to that image in the selected sheet (that is, if Avatars are displayed ;) ) If you DRAG a sheet with an attached image onto the VTT (important: Drag it on the NAME), a token with that image will be created on the VTT.

+1 I think being able to set a persistant in-game image would be really useful (whether it used a selected character as the source, or was just an image stored with the game). The problem with using the character portrait as your in-game avatar image is that it is not persistant, and resets back to your profile image each time you exit and re-enter the game. I always use separate images in each game I play, and I have a different one I use as DM, none of which match my profile image (which is of a now-retired character I really liked).  Constantly having to re-select those, particularly if I have to exit and re-enter to deal with some VTT weirdness, is a real pain.
Thanks man, that's not exactly what I was aiming for, but it helps a lot. Having been playing for years and never notice that. Still, I agree with Ken S. Would be useful to be able to "pin" the avatar image in each game. TheMarkus1204 said: In the Chat Window there is a dropdown list that contains all characters you have access to.
