Leaving that much hair down would still leave you hot because its still on your neck. My boyfriend wears his hair like that a lot but come summer/storm season we're both rocking high ponys or buns lol

This sounds like it's coming from someone who can't grow a beard lol.

Bangs are definitely more annoying than beards, this is coming from someone whose had both. You don't stand to lose anything from a more masculine guy being added to the cast.

Facial hair does not equal masculine. Neither does not having bangs. You have very warped views on what is and is not masculine lol.

Not sure this was ever argued......
But it is argued that it wouldnt look good on Estinian, but rather a different character

I'm confused as to how this is an argument against having someone in the main party with a beard.

After Estinien's lackluster performance in Endwalker I'm ok with him being benched in favor of someone who looks more tough than him. Again anyone from this thread could serve as inspiration.

since we are voicing opinions and personal preferences.. I prefer the no beard for anyone that accompanies us. beards creep me out. but thats a me thing, much the same as long hair, beards etc are a you thing.

I am VERY happy none of the scions have one

Men do not necessarily need facial hair to be considered masculine but I think it is definitely a masculine trait by virtue of the vast majority of women not walking around with beards or stubble.

I prefer clean shaven men or men with stubble to full on beards as a personal preference though I agree with Aveyond that more visible testosterone amongst the major cast would be pleasantly refreshing.

I do think that Estinien cutting his hair short for efficiency's sake and having stubble due to rarely shaving would make sense for his character and personality.

It's not. It's an argument against you saying the main party doesn't have anyone masculine in it.

And your opinion on who looks tough is terrible.

I don't think anyone has ever looked at estinien and thought "man that guy looks like a wimp."

Why bench him, when we can just add to the cast?
Estinian probably didnt give you what You want out of him, but he is Very well Liked, and I for one want more of him.
And you'd run the possibility of missing out on Chemistry between 2 hard-fought Veterans if you bench & substitute, instead of just allowing both to exist.
This is why we need Well Written Characters, not just Checklist Archetypes.

I know what we need in the Scions.
