I think osNpcCreate don't care the skin, shape, clothes listed in the
<key>wearables</key> section but uses only baked textures contained in the
<key>textures</key> section.

Baking an avatar from wearables is a task for the client. A NPC is a 
snapshot of a baked avatar, not a compositing of an array of 
wearables.

In an attempt to understand the role of each key in the notecard, I 
could nullify every wearable (item plus asset) and still get a full 
NPC as long as the five baked textures are present. Example:


     <key>wearables</key>
     <array>
       <array>
         <map>
           <key>item</key>
           <uuid>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</uuid>
           <key>asset</key>
           <uuid>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</uuid>
         </map>
       </array>
       <array>
         <map>
           <key>item</key>

           <key>asset</key>
           <uuid>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</uuid>
