IdentityService 
IdentityService is a Module created to recreate all functions from Roblox’s HumanoidDescription system and add many more and useful functions.
There are currently only 3 functions, but I’m planning to continue to add more features and update this more.
Pros:
- Uses HumanoidDescription instances to work seamlessly with Roblox’s current system
- Heavily commented for those who want to look over or contribute to the module
- Easy to learn and use, functioning similarly to Roblox’s HumanoidDescription functions
- Completely open source, meaning you could easily modify it to add your own functions along with the existing ones.
Cons:
- The module is still in development, so not all functions are available yet.
- Not made for R15 / Rthro yet (May add support in the future)
Useful Features
- You can get any NPCs humanoid description with a function instead of having to set it all manually or get it from a player
- Not much else at the moment, but this system will contain many more things in the future
