I'm looking for help exposing the appearance portion of the character data. The data itself is stored pretty compactly on the character record as an array. What each value in the array means depends on the race+sex combination of the character.

Here's how the data looks for my test character:

[ 100, 0, 8, 50.2, 4, 0, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 6, 0, 0, 16, 9, 0, 
50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, null, 3.14, null, 62, 4, 8, 
50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 0, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 50.2, 7 ]

I can modify the v2/races/:race endpoint to include an interpretation of these numbers per-sex-per-index.

Maybe something like:

{
  ...,
  "appearance": {
    "female": [
      {
        "name": "Hair Style",
        "category": "Hair Styles & Color",
        "type": "PictureChoice"
      },
      {
        "name": "Hair Color",
        "category": "Hair Styles & Color",
        "type": "ColorPalette",
        "colors": [
          {
            "brightness": -13,
            "contrast": 1,
            "hue": 275,
            "saturation": 0.0234375,
            "lightness": 1.09375
          },
          {
            "brightness": -13,
            "contrast": 1,
            "hue": 275,
            "saturation": 0.0234375,
            "lightness": 1.09375
          },
          ...
        ]
      },
      ...
    ],
    "male": [...]
  }
}

Finally, the real question: I can expose the raw per-character array in the next day or two, but the static data will take weeks for some backend server changes to make it through. Should I

1. add the per-character data now without the static data, or
2. wait for everything to be ready.

I can argue for both options, so I'm asking here.
