This is the little mod we have been using since 019, as none of us liked the change made in the dermorian males' appearance.
Not that the devs haven't put a great effort into it, and it's an evidence that it was improved in terms of quality.
However, neither the red hair nor the innocence they seem to radiate were of our taste for I worked out this mod to bring some of their old look back.
The mod has been tested with the .019 and .020 clients without any side effects showing up.
Here it is the readme file where you can see the changes made.

Changes:

Dermorians have now brown hair.
Removed the idle animation and inserted 019's; no more scratching.
Soft change in the unarmored torso, removed the white bits in the shoulders.
Huge modification of dermorian_head_3.dds to a much sharper look; added scars; pale skin.
Slight modifications to dermorian_head.dds and dermorian_head_2/4/5.dds to decrease the childish look.
How to install:
---------------
- Rename your /PlaneShift Crystal Blue/art/characters.zip for the sake of security: keep the backup.
- Unzip the Mod.
- Create a temporary folder (name it "characters" for an easier approach) and Unzip the /PlaneShift Crystal Blue/art/characters.zip file inside.
- Place the Mod's files in the /*yourtemporaryfolder*/dermm folder, overwriting the existing ones.
- Zip the temporary folder and name the file "characters.zip"
- Place the new zip in /PlaneShift Crystal Blue/art
- Enjoy
Tips:
-----
To change only the animation:
Replace only dermm_idle.CAF and dermm_idle_var1.CAF. I can't tell which of both is doing the job so far, feel free to e-mail me for I can correct this file.
To change only the faces' skins:
Replace only these files: dermm_head.dds, dermm_head_2.dds, dermm_head_3.dds, dermm_head_4.dds, dermm_head_5.dds
To change only the hair:
Replace only this file: dermm_hair.dds
