Image over Image Java

Question

Basically in this code the problem is that when I run it, the character named Aaron does not show up. Only his user name does.

package Java;

import java.awt.*;

    Image backround;

    //Briggs
    int xbn, ybn;
    int xo, yo;

    //Aaron
    int x, y;
    int xan, yan;

    Font font = new Font ("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20);

    public class AL extends KeyAdapter {

        public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e) {

            int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();

Options:

• You can use JLayeredPanes and overlap the text over the image
• For PNG images transparency might be the answer

Try these, try to get back to me if it does not work.
