It is to scale, 1 pixel = 3x3x3 blocks

This could be an issue caused by worldedit/worldguard or essentials. NPCs count as basic animals to minecraft, so you need to make sure the players have the permission to interact with animals in general for them to be able to interact with NPCs.

This is usually related to not having all the proper content packs installed. Check the descriptions for the content packs to see if they rely on something else.

This is strangely not working. When I set both NPCs up and ran tests, Phase Two (Lucas), still spawns, but will not despawn when Phase One (Christine) respawns. Could it be because the temp data is only being saved to the first NPC and not the second?Update: I got this to work by calling the NPCs with world.setTempData and world.getTempData.
