Isn't there a character creator that lets you choose your skin (and therefore see your "JC Denton") even before the game starts?

Hmmm, I don't remember that either—and JC is also sort of a meme with his default appearance (presumably), used as userpics on Youtube and elsewhere. So I guess many just picked the first look offered. Seeing as JC is considered very much a ‘blank character’, there probably wasn't much of a meaningful difference in the choice.

It's easy to miss that you can change the appearance (it's just a couple of little buttons) but you do see his head and shoulders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX_YSpI5a9s
I don't remember one, but it's been a few decades.
