This is a shared partition of the data used to represent how the player's avatar is presented.
It is utilized by both <code>0x17 ObjectCreateMessage CharacterData</code> and <code>0x18 ObjectCreateDetailedMessage DetailedCharacterData</code>.
This can be considered the data that goes into creating the player's model.<br>
<br>
Only a few changes would occur depending on which packet would deal with the data.
One example is <code>facingYawUpper</code> which, when depicting avatars, can be set to represent non-trivial turning angles.
When depicting other players, it is limited to a small range of angles in the direction of that model's forward-facing.
Another example is the outfit information: not usually represented for avatars; but, always represented for other players.<br>
<br>
One way the player's model can be changed dramatically involves being depicted as "released."
In this form, their body appears as a backpack (or pumpkin or pastry) that can be looted for the equipment carried while alive.
Companion data will describe how the player is represented while he is "dead," usually a requirement for being "released."
Without that requirement here, it is possible to depicte the player as a "living backpack."
The said equipment is also defined elsewhere.
Another dramatic change replaces the player's model with a ball of plasma that masks the player while riding zip lines.<br>

The calculation reflects the <code>scodec Codec</code> definition rather than the explicit parameter fields.
For example, a traditional <code>Int</code> is normally a 32-bit number, often rendered as a <code>32u</code> number.
When parsed with a <code>uintL(7)</code>, it's length will be considered 7 bits (<code>7u</code>).
(Note: being permanently signed, an <code>scodec</code> value of <code>32u</code> or longer must fit into a <code>Long</code> type.)</p></div><dlclass="paramcmts block"><dt>returns</dt><ddclass="cmt"><p>the number of bits necessary to measure an object of this class;
