These are great ideas. I'm sure there would need to be adjustment to make it work smoothly with the game's current coding and play, but it's a good direction.

One point I must disagree with is showing the character on the blog page, where anyone could go see it whether they play or not. Steempunk is great because it allows play without interfering in the other reasons people use Steemit. My own activity here is for a purpose, and a somewhat professional blog page is a part of that. A game avatar boldly waving my passtime interests around is not conducive to being taken seriously. The top section of the stats/items page should incorporate this instead, or if feasible, make a separate tab for it.
