Very interesting-looking! I will say, however, that it's difficult to criticize because I'm not sure what kind of look you're going for. The size and the head/torso proportion would suggest a kind of chibi-deformed look, but the rest of the body seems a lot less rounded - so it's more realistic by comparison. I'm also trying to be careful not to inject too much personal preference here, but I tend to favor either tall/long look or short/round. This seems a sort of mix between the two.
Since their arms are so far away from their body, it makes them look very stiff and manly - fine for guys, but girls might be a bit off. The legs are also very spread, but that's a small detail. I don't mind the few facial features, but I'd play with the eyes. Either make them a pixel wider or bring them in a little closer to the nose. I love their hair and the costume choices are spot on - sort of a generic rpg hero that could be customized to look different. I also like their feet. They can be difficult to pull off in a sprite.
