== 2. Parts ==

=== Part 1: Unknown ===

<code>AAADfAYA/8PsdP//AgAAAwAAAINVwYCA64P/AA8AGQAZ/wD/gaj/gAC17gAg</code>

* Assumption: profession, race, character creation customization (gender, face/hair/body, colors, etc.)
* Identical with different armors & outfits on the same character.

=== Part 2: skins, 7 x uint32 (little endian) ===

<code>iC8AAJovAAB6LwAAhy8AAKQvAACqLwAAoRkAAA==</code>

<code>1350</code> Shadow Orange, <code>1240</code> Flame. <code>18</code> Earthen / <code>384</code> Mocha: likely per-piece defaults on unset channels (needs to be investigated further). <code>1</code> Dye Remover (The Ascension has no dye slots).

=== Field 4: pose (string) ===

Values:

* <code>statueattack</code>
* <code>statuesalute</code>
* <code>statuecheer</code>
* <code>statuerelax</code>

== Outfits ==

On the same character, tried with an outfit equipped: p1 identical, p2 / p3 differed.

|}

Observations:

* The outfit ID is clearly not used to store this data (<code>3</code> and <code>113</code> are the IDs of the tested outfits, absent at every byte width).
* Some of the skin IDs have no name but exist in the API, and the icons look like they match the theme of the given outfit.
** Many IDs missing from the API (not uncommon for older items/skins/etc. unfortunately)
