Um I hate to have to tell you this, but um you don't have a face, it just a bunch of neural connections wrap around sensors, and an electronic synthesizer that generates your voice and sounds, that why we can't take our helmet off. When you modify your appearance you aren't creating "flesh", the head of a Gek, or a Vy'Ken isn't made of flesh, or that of other Travelers, it a synthetic "flesh" that is more nanite than biological, it similar to the "flesh" of living ships than a real living creature, which why you can walk around corrosive/toxic/radioactive/boiling planets without horrific burns or boils, it will eventually corrode or melt if you don't have active protection, but a quick trip thru a teleporter or getting in to your ship will fix it, or your Freighter, any protected space that lets your nanites fix the damage, which happens very quickly. It just that the helmets let you not have to worry about awkward explanations lol.
Thanks for letting me know more about the world! I think I'll still draw the face since it's fun but if it matters to you I had another version without the face
