    Default When will Roy get a new hair style?

    We've had almost all characters who went through some major character development get a new hair style (V, Haley)or new clothes (in Elan's case), so when does Roy get a new hair style?

    AFRO!!

    Anyway there has to be something wrong with his hair (bald, as apposed to shaved) or shouldn't it have come back with his body??

    It's explicitly mentioned in Start of Darkness that Roy shaves his head. Roy-with-hair looks weird.

    Well, Roy's clothes have changed. That little neck bit in his armor is new.

    I don't think that counts, as he likely only done that because of the heat (he didn't have it in 672 yet).

    Roy with hair will look weird, at least for me, since I'm used to seeing him bald. It's not like the other characters, changing hairs, but a change from no hair to hair. I don't want to see Roy with hair.
    Maybe he'll grow a beard to have more in common with O-Chul.
    Or maybe he already had grown hair, but also had v cast invisibility on them, so he still appear bald. That way if someone cast true sight on him they'll never recognize him.
    In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

    confused Re: When will Roy get a new hair style?

    Roy had no hair when Durkon Resurrected him so I guess he is naturally bald now as opposed to just shaving his head.

    Maybe he should grow a goatee or something.

    Two counter examples:

    Belkar: went through the whole "curse thing" to learn how to fake being a team player
    Durkon: all that stuff from Origins and the Hilgya story arc

    besides, Roy got an art upgrade. Those characters got a change in their appearance. There is a difference.

    Um, by that logic, we still don't know anything.

    Babies are born more or less naturally bald too, you know. Doesn't mean they stay that way. :P

    Wait, in this comic Haley shot him in a very important place for a man. Does that mean Roy can't get treasure type O?

    Physical damage is repaired. A lack of hair doesn't constitute physical damage is what I'm saying. :D

    One thing that annoys me on OOTPCs is that Eugene assumes that Roy will get baldness from him, when this is atcually quite wrong as baldness if passed on by women, not men.

    As for a goatee, maybe he doesn't want to look like his dad. Maybe a five o'clock shadow?

    For those who haven't read OtOoPCs, here's Roy with hair, in flashback. How weird he looks is up to you.

    What character development? Let's compare:

    Pre-Death: He wanted to kill Xykon and was LG.

    Post-Resurrection: He wanted to kill Xykon, was LG, and knew about a fancy new sword trick.

    Now I see what you mean. That change is clearly significant enough that he should also change the color of his boots.
    In Dungeons and Dragons, racism is frowned upon, unless you're playing an elf. Then it's an interesting character trait.

    If he's a typical guy, he'll change it once every half-century or so.

    Why? I don't see anything in the spell description for Resurrection that says it suddenly grows all your hair if you normally shaved it--otherwise everyone who died clean-shaven would suddenly have beards!

    Indeed, if you actually want to consider hair, I'd say the opposite situation that Kaytara posited is more likely, and everyone Resurrected (out of a body that no longer has hair) shows up bald and has to wait for the hair to grow back out.

    But by that logic, you'd also end up with no fingernails (also made of keratin). The most likely of all is that you simply end up with the same hair length you died with, somehow.

    I'm thinking more of a "newborn" sort of resurrection, which would imply fingernails but no hair...

    Not really... remember: if the spell description doesn't specifically SAY it grows hair, it probably doesn't.

    I recall reading in a spoiler about either OtooPCs or SoD that...

    ...Roy shaved his head because he had early baldness.

    So I doubt we'll see a new hair style for Roy. I may have misremembered though.

    Not quite. He knew that baldness runs in his family so he decided to shave his head before going bald naturally.

    Presumably, at least. It was actually Eugene who said that and Roy just confirmed it, in a semi-serious sort of way. Maybe he just shaved his head because it looked cool or because it's more practical when you're constantly training and getting sweaty, and just confirmed Eugene's idea because he didn't care either way.

    Roy used to shave his head left to right; ever since his resurrection, he shaves his head right to left.

    It all happens off pane so you may not have noticed.

    Well... Elan DIDN'T change his hair, ever; only his outfit.


    But I think that the desert arc will deal with Durkon, since the Helga chapter, he had no screen time for his own.

    I've never heard of anyone shaving their head just because baldness runs in their family. It makes no sense to start doing it as some kind of pre-emtive strike; we're not exactly talking about cutting out cancer early here.

    If he was shaving his head through any baldness concern, it was because he was already showing signs of it himself.
