433. How comfortable is your SC in their body? How do they feel about their body type? Is being attractive important to them?
I answer in reverse order in a general approach for the crew.
Not really, they are soldiers first as thus they need to stay fit and halfway trained, of course this is also a personal matter so not everyone looks the same but general fitness is needed.
Regular training changes your mind set (that's why a lot of people with psychological issues give it a try for at least some time and some stick to it).
My characters accept their body's in general as they are, the ones who didn't made changes. Often it's just a minor detail. Thanks to better medical equipment, more knowledge, broader variations of body types, raised emotional intelligence, exposure to alien civilizations etc, a more open approach to all identities, self expression, up to trans* species genetics & modifications, exists.
