Sorry if this has been asked before but... how would one go about changing a character's texture? Is it something common mortals can do or does it require specific knowledge about the game and/or advanced 3D modeling?
There is a small tutorial in the server, i am gonna copy and paste it, the rest of stuff you want to add or change is up to you, also over time you learn to mod these type of games more.

Tools needed:

The steps to character texture modifications are simple:
Pick you character (for now Primrose is off the table, only the “Mods” characters are covered by this)
Open the file in UABE
Look for the texture you want to modify. For this you need to expand the file-tree on the left (you can sort the list by type, you need “Texture2D”), then select and use the “Plugin” button on the right side and “Export as .png
Open Texture in the image processor of your choice
Modify it to your likings and save it
To reimport the texture, select the original in UABE, hit “Plugins” and “Edit”. Here you can select “Load” at the bottom. Load your new texture, confirm with “Ok”, then in UABE hit “File and “Apply” (or “Apply and save all”)
Open game and enjoy
