 * Introduction
 * ============================================================================
 * This plugin changes the party leader character on the map. By default, the
 * first party member is always the party leader. The second, third, and so on
 * members become the followers.
 *
 * Now, you can decide a certain actor to always lead the party on map.
 * That actor will always show up on map as the front character even if he/she
 * is currently NOT in the party.
 *
 * If that character is not in the party, he/she will not show up in menu and
 * battle. The character only shows up on map as front character.
 * If you add that character in the party, you will see the duplicate of that
 * character's sprite as one of the followers.
 *
 * ============================================================================
 * Terms of Use
 * ============================================================================
 * Free to use in both commercial and non-commercial project as long as credit
 * is given.
