LORE describes the generic this and that of the genetics that particular race has. Without good justification, I can't imagine an approver letting you walk off with pink or blue hair on an elf or something

But hey, it's their call... I'll say though, I've never seen it happen.

I'm still waiting for the submission bio that says... "and then he dyed his hair". Nobody's ever tried that I think, as simple as it is. I suppose it'd require some 3 paragraph long essay to explain in detail why a submitted character dyed his hair; not that most punk rocker kids think that deeply into the whole process mind you. Most of the ones I know looked in the mirror and randomly decided they look better with a green mohawk and just did it without delving into the deep psychological meanings behind it all. Of course, everybody want's to be special and born with weird hair with some big familial curse or something behind it, so it's not like I've ever seen a submission rejected because somebody decided to dye their hair in a mundane fashion.

Back on Lands of Acheron, I played a Half-Orc bardarian named "Zigfried Glammoroth" who dyed his hair blue. His story was that he was raised by wood-elves who used to shoot arrows at him in the woods and pretend all orcs looked alike, so it wasn't their fault. He dyed his hair bright blue to prevent that excuse, and ripped the arms off any in his elven tribe who'd try him thereafter.

Maybe Kinai will dye her hair purple.

*shrugs* If a character habitually dyes their hair and includes it in their submission, and it doesn't seem gratuitous, I don't see any reason it'd be a problem. Pink hair, mind you, would still be unlikely, simply because effective hair dye other than, say, henna, would be hard to come by.

Is purple still possible?
Maybe I'll have Kinai and Hawk's kid's hair will be pink. Haha.
Magic always works when dye doesn't! Color spray, anyone?

Rainbow colored hair...

They're Shadonites. I think Pink hair is acceptable.

And hey, if we get all the clothes dyes, including blues which are quite expensive, why not hair?

darkstorme · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2007, 08:51:36 PM »

*grins* Ever tried using clothing dye on hair? You tend to lose it.

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #14 on:** May 15, 2007, 08:57:54 PM »

Pfft, NwN game mechanics... This is where imagination comes into play!
And heck, a Shadonite's nuts...They can find ways to dye their hair, then market the technique for insane amounts of gold.

darkstorme · « **Reply #15 on:** May 15, 2007, 09:50:38 PM »

*chuckles* Ooops. Should've clarified. I meant, using RL clothing dye on RL hair. You lose the hair, not the dye. Well, I suppose you lose the dye too, but the hair's the important part.

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #16 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:04:01 PM »

You've tried to use clothing dye on hair before?
*worries*

darkstorme · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:08:08 PM »

Nah, splashed some red clothing dye on my arm when dying some macramé rope. Lost the hair by the splash for a month or so. To the credit of this thread, it DID stay red until it fell out, though.

Interia_Discordius · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:10:03 PM »

Really? Sounds like a better way compared to the generic ways of getting rid of hair.
Hmm, is it toxic?

darkstorme · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:11:08 PM »

Probably. The hair on my arm didn't look normal for a year or so, and there were a bunch of warnings on the dye package.
