I assume you mean for the 'default' character struct, that gets set up
during the login process, you set the color? Otherwise I don't see how
you're querying a NULL pointer...
Otherwise Rick's suggestion makes more sense. If you go for the multiple
characters per person route, it makes more sense to store that data out of
the character struct anyway. In fact, it can vary even between person
depending on where they happen to be so maybe you don't even want to store
it but query at login like the previous mail said.
