Honestly, for things like this, looking at a barbershop poster can give you some fairly generic options, but more than a simple afro.

Edit: There are other options of course! I've had my hair in a variety of styles, and barbershop posters usually contain safe lower cut styles. I am unsure where I would find longer examples has my hair usually ends at the giant afro stage and doesn't evolve from there.

I just hope that you add more then one African hairstyle, unlike any other game made ever. The Afro looks awesome, but it would be really cool to have different types fades, or some locks. Different texture hair would be kinda cool too, like having some that is relatively curly, one that’s super curly, and one that has super tight curls. Looking into 1a-4c hair texture, will help you understand what I mean.

Just wanna say great job so far on the game can’t wait to play it!

I would like a bit more diversity in black male hairstyles. Normally, just see afro when it comes to MMOs. Black women have a few more than the men do but are still kind of lacking.

I'm not asking for these to be locked for black characters just that they exist. I know this is a weird statement but when WoW added that one hairstyle that you see black women within media, it got weird.

I second this bonus bonus idea ^. It always feels refreshing and cared for when character customisation is given continuous love after launch.

I'm sure I read a quote somewhere that some customisation could be unlocked through quests too. I'd love to see this unlocking go with a barber shop.

This is probably not something the majority will care about but as a black person, I really enjoyed the quick section in the Character Creation video where I saw a style that actually would fit someone like myself. It's a bit of a minor thing, but I always get happier when I see it, and my friends who I showed Ashes to, joked that that made the game actually playable for us. More Afro-friendly hairstyles is all I ask. Dreads, Twists, Afros, Braids, Fades, Sponge Curls, etc all help the immersive experience for me

While having a wide variety of hair styles is important, I think it's also important to have some "non-traditional" hair for certain races. For example, the Py'rai wiki picture is the female with long black hair that looks like normal human hair. I think it would be great if the Py'rai had options for hair using textures like moss or leaves instead. For other races, such as the Vek or Ren'kai, there could be an option for having horn or needle like hair. Even a bland "bald" hairstyle could have a lot of variety using different balding patterns and piercings.

With the emphasis this game and studio holds on community, do you guys ever plan on holding conventions?

This actually looks pretty cool! I'd suggest also posting it to the forums. They read reddit too but they prefer the forums :D

If that's to scale all of them. Even if you're showing up with a ship 10 times the size that thing only needs one bite to sink the ship
