Please excuse my ignorance of C#... In the following lines of code, where could I assign the body_id when creating a character? Would I need to first load something into the namespace?

 
       void ClickButton_CreateCharacter(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            var name = _txtName.Text;
 
            if (!GameData.UserName.IsValid(name))
            {
                SetError("Invalid character name.");
                return;
            }
 
            _btnCreateCharacter.IsEnabled = false;
            using (var pw = ClientPacket.CreateNewAccountCharacter(name))
            {
                _sockets.Send(pw, ClientMessageType.System);
            }
        }

Ultimately the Create Character Screen will give the player the ability to choose their character image. Any ideas from those more experienced with C# and NetGore is appreciated.

Things get a little tough because you have to tell the server you want to use a different body_id. The steps involved will be:

Make CreateNewAccountCharacter message include the BodyID
When server reads the BodyID for CreateNewAccountCharacter, make sure it is valid, and handle when it is invalid
After character is created in the server, execute a custom query to update `body_id` for table `character` (simple enough, just takes a little boiler-plate code - see how other queries are done)
