When the hair is long but neat, it's usually a Sailor's Ponytail, indicating merely distance from barbers. As a consequence, characters who have spent some time in the wild may come back looking like this (perhaps with a Time-Passage Beard as well), though generally not picking up the character traits.


Part of this is that keeping your hair neat and short is a lot easier in civilization than out of it. Poor social skills aside, a character sprouting this hairdo tends to be good. On the other hand, he is often Better with Non-Human Company. Indicates that the character can handle himself in a wilderness, and such skills as tracking. Characters have unkempt, shaggy, or unusually long hair, and often beards - usually dark, though it may have gray in it - to show that they are close to nature, possibly the Nature Hero.
