I have a custom character that is basically starter but with couple extra parts. Do I have to write a custom function that gets all player accessories and puts it on the character when it loads or does Roblox already handle this with some specific function?

You could use GetCharacterAppearanceAsync to get a variable containg the players model, loop through the accessories and attatchements and put them on the custom character.
Remember after you get the model you need to parent it somewhere such as the workspace.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local success, character = pcall(function()
return players:GetCharacterAppearanceAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if(success)then
print("got player's character")
print(character)
else
print("could not get players character")
end
Aside from that, there is not a built in Roblox function to transfer the characters appearance directly onto the custom character.

Cloning new parts and scripts into a base character sounds like an easier option. (Whil probably a very hacky and unprofessional). Thanks for the info tho!
