+  * This densely-packed information outlines most of the specifics required to depict some other player's character.

   * For that reason, the character is mostly for presentation purposes, rather than really being fleshed-out.
-  * (As far as the client is concerned, nothing stops this character from being declared an "avatar."
-  * A player would find such a client-controlled character lacking many important details and have poor equipment.
-  * They would also be competing with some other player for input control, if they could control the character at all.)<br>

-  * Divisions exist to make the data more manageable.
-  * The first division of data only manages the general appearance of the player's in-game model.
-  * The second division (currently, the fields actually in this class) manages the status of the character.
-  * In general, it passes more simplified data about the character, the minimum that is necessary to explain status to some other player.
-  * For example, health and armor are percentages, and are depicted as bars over the player's head near the nameplate.
-  * The third is the inventory (composed of normal-type objects).
-  * Rather than equipment other players would never interact with, it only comprises the contents of the five holster slots.<br>
-  * <br>
-  * If this player is spawned as dead - with their `health` at 0% - he will start standing and then immediately fall into a lying pose.
-  * The death pose selected is randomized, can not be influenced, and is not be shared across clients.
-  * @param appearance the player's cardinal appearance settings
+  * In the "backend of the client," the character produced by this data is no different
+  * from the kind of character that could be declared a given player's avatar.
+  * In terms of equipment and complicated features common to an avatar character, however,

+  * Followup activity will lead to its inevitable unregistering and removal.<br>
+  * <br>
+  * Functions have been provided for `override` in order to interject the appropriate cleanup operations.
+  * The activity itself is typically removing the object in question from a certain list,
+  * dismissing it with a mass distribution of `ObjectDeleteMessage` packets,
+  * and finally unregistering it.
+  * Some types of object have (de-)implementation variations which should be made explicit through the overrides.
