I've searched all over the internet and can't seem to find an answer to a couple of quick questions.


First: When players open the menu, I want the character boxes on the right to contain a small 1-2 sentence blurb of their character for reference. There's no battling system in my game and thus I do not require HP/MP/TP or anything else of that sort. The menu looks like this currently:


Is there a way to include a short bio in the box where the blank space is so that one does not have to click on the status button to read it?


Second: I want to have specially designed status menus for my characters which would contain a picture, their name, and a paragraph biography. I also plan to include their sprite in the bottom right corner. It would look something like this:


However I want this picture to be accessed when a player clicks on the character in the normal status menu. So it would work like Open Menu > Click Status > Click on Character > Picture Appears. I'm not sure how to make this happen, however, because it's not a normal event that I can create on the map. It's something that can be accessed through the menu at any time. Is there a way to set a picture as the status rather than the normal status menu?


Thanks for any help!
