The syker character I played always wore a helmet. People still knew he was
a syker.

Even with a helmet on, one can make a reasonable guess if someone has hair
or not... Skyers don't have sideburns, and no hair sticking out from the
helmet. This would be noticible in a world where barbers are few and far
between.

I will note that helmets are unfomortable. At some point, the syker is
going to take it off. Especially in more "relaxed" circumstances.

Also, I'll note that I always felt that *all* hair on the head disappeared
due to syker training. This means that sykers are all clean-shaven in a
world where shaving is a luxury.

My point is that being able to wear a helmet does not make a syker that
much less obvious, especially since they were well-known to the public
before the Big Boom.
