What can I change about how I look?
Each department has two bodies to choose from, along with 6 suits, 7 hair colours and 6 skin tones. The suit always stays red, because a bright red player is what lets you find yourself on a crowded floor. Nothing else on the floor wears that colour, and that is on purpose.
Please remain findable.
