You could clone the player’s character and then insert your NPC script in that character. With additional changes to both, ofcourse.

You can dissallow DynamicHeads for your game.

bundles ex:(dog, cat, stickbug)

You can get the Humanoid Description with this: Players | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

And then make a new Humanoid with the Humanoid Description you’ve gotten earlier with this: Players | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Then just paste in your scripts.

#11 
local PlayerId = 0

so, i would ideally use

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local workspace = game:GetService("WorkSpace")
local plr = players.LocalPlayer
local chr = plr.Character

players.OnPlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local npc = chr:Clone()
npc.Parent = workspace
npc.Name = npc
end)

edit: i have not used my brain and now i realised that this is a script, not a local

That may bring issues, it’s way easier to use CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription. Your code would also result chr = nil then a error because you’re attempting to do nil:Clone().

problem :smiling_face_with_tear:

here the script for reference:

local PlayerId = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.CharacterAppearanceId
local desc:HumanoidDescription = game:GetService("Players"):GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(PlayerId)
local char:Model = game:GetService("Players"):CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription(desc, Enum.RigType.R15, Enum.AssetTypeVerification.Default)

char.Parent = workspace
#15 
local PlayerId = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.UserId
#16

This looks interesting … players-character-onto-a-npc

There is a post down in that thread that looks like he knows what he is talking about. I’d look harder at that than the resource posted.
