Throwing my 2 cents in since I will presumably play this game again when opendream is a thing:
I generally agree with flaborized when it comes to visual cohesion, and think it would be a poor fit for a roundstart thing. For that reason, I also disagree with it being added in general, and if its such an issue, I'd feel like its best just to remove it entirely. I have the reward and never once used it or cared to use it.
Adding it as a mid-round mechanical feature simply won't work. People will just rush it every single round, and then because of the inconvenience they've brought on themselves, demand it be roundstart. Mutantraces used to be an in-round thing, besides diplomats. Wigs used to be a round thing. Monkeys are a round thing, and we still occasionally get people asking to be able to start as a monkey because they're a "monkey main". Any customization you let a player do, someone will get attached to a character that uses that customization, and we'll keep coming back here arguing about it until eventually enough people say "sure why not", and if that happens even once, there's no reverting it. Because of that inevitability, I wouldn't be able to support it as a feature.
