So I'm trying to find a way to tackle Demon Hunter creation on a WoD core. In that I want to port the Legion character models and have items, perhaps trinkets or rings, that let the player select what horns and tattoos they can use. I can't figure out where to begin on this project. Of course the items would have to be made server side and client side, but what sort of settings would I even use? Is it even possible? If I add in the models just for Blood Elves and Night Elves, would I have to add in the other races? I know head items equip differently in Legion, so would I need to get the data of head items also?
I don't have access to server side tinkering since I'm not a dev for the server, just someone trying to improve RP experience there, so I want to be as minimally invasive as possible with it.

My guess is that you'd have to change a hell lot of things (database structure, core's code, probably game client as well), making this task nearly impossible. The only way out would probably be some sorts of special items which would actually equip for example those horns to otherwise normal heads.
Its just a guess though.

It might be a task not worth the effort. Should probably wait until we make the move to a Legion core. But I've got way too much time on my hands.
I have the geoset files pulled from a Legion client for the horns, blindfolds, and clawed hands for the male and female N/B Elves. The idea was to create an item with the right geoset to display either horns, blindfolds, and/or hands. I haven't tried adding in items this way, so I'm unsure how to begin with adding the geosets into the client or even figure out the IDs for the horns, blindfolds, and hands.
