Well, my syker doesnt have head tattoos, he does have some on his arms and
chest, but they are fairly normal looking. I couldnt find anything that said
that they had to have them, and my character would not want them
I also wear a boonie hat and Gargoyle type sunglasses most of the time.
And will tell anyone who asks that I lost my hair because of the war...its
sorrta true... (I will remove my hat before blastin anything, just incase it
would mess it up.)
Now my marshal has said that from a distance people cant tell that I am a
syker, but up close, anyone who knows about sykers can probably tell, but the
hat, the glasses (they help cover up the lack of eyebrows) and the sorta true
story of hair loss might make it a little harder.
Why do I not want to be known as a Syker? Well being shot in the head is just
not my idea of fun. (it can also be a "Ace in the hole" for the possie to have
me unknow as a Syker...)

Sorry to be so long winded...
