I'm not doing the beta test but I did just watch gorrtagg's video on sovereign customization here.

In it he chooses the ugly characteristic for his sovereign but this choice doesn't actually change te appearance of the sovereign.

Would it be possible to have the character model become asymmetric after making this choice?  that is have the eyes located different distances from the center of the face and perhaps at different heights, have the nose tilted, have the mouth be not entirely horizontal or not precisely in the center of the face and so on.
