Pirate Plastic Surgeons

Hopefully the title is catchy enough. As a question for the devs (or powers that be): are there any plans to make it so that I can change the actual physical Pirate that I have without forcing me to reset all of my progress? While I have enjoyed my pirate, there have been several, several times (several) where the fact that I chose a Chonky Boi pirate model has prevented be from doing a lot of the things that my friends are able to do in this game, Primarily in terms of hiding on enemy ships. For them it is as easy as finding a slightly darker corner of the ship and sleeping (now hiding with the new emote) yet I am condemned to be the most visible pirate on the seas. I cannot hide anywhere but the crows nest on any ship other than a galleon, and even on a galleon, any player walking by will spot me out. If it were possible for Duke to arrange for a renowned (or at least scruple-less) surgeon to visit the Sea of Thieves, many pirates lives would be improved.
