Why not? Transmission headers, give you a picture of the person. If your picture is a scantily dressed woman, then that's what people should be responding to. If you want your character dressed differently, find a picture of them dressed differently, or omit the header all together.

Marine is a Gallic Junker, would you expect to find a Junker normally wearing a suit and tie? Especially when the character is flamboyant, corrupt and outgoing.
if you don t know how the other person "looks" like - you base your reaction on the others behaviour.
if you do know how the other one looks like - your reaction gains another dimension. - and if we take character pictures seriously .... ( that is - if we can bend our perception enough to take it seriously ) - we have to adjust indeed.
as an example:
if a liberty navy officer ordered my char to pull to the side for an inspection in a confident tone of the authority ..... i would most probably submit to that.
if it was a video connection - and the guy i d see there was an elderly stereotypial man ( or woman ) that radiated the air of years of battle experience - i might feel
- secure that i was treated fairly
- ponder what i might have done wrong, cause such a person couldn t have asked me for an inspection without reason.
- expect such a person to reply to an inquiry about "why me" ... in a reasonable and polite tone.
if the picture showed some hulk with a black face and a white skull painted on it in a rude manner - with a furious hairstyle and a ripped uniform i would expect
- a fight... in the very close future
- being treated from well above, even patronized or insulted
- not expect a reasonable answer about the "why me"
if the picture showed a 12 years old girl in a uniform that you can only buy in a costumes shop - or a special shop for fetishes ... i would:
- certainly not expect reason at all - cause such a person lacks experience in my books
- expect to be fined for a bowl of sweeties - and put to death for not providing such
- expect the person not to comprehend the question "why me"
so - pictures should be chosen with care. - care, cause a player should try to RP someone that he displays - and care cause it affects the reactions.
ps.: if a dreadnought stopped me and a half naked girl with pointy ears popped up my screen - i wouldn t stop laughing - and probably literally die laughing for not being able to reply to the officer - and consequently being shot at.
