So…long or short hair?

QUESTION AT HAND: long or short hair? It could determine how long he’s been in captivity.

There are to many layers to remove the uhm… g o r e, so I blacked it out for yall. Summary; I’ve shown and presented this OC before, Xavier, most of the lore me and my friend carefully created around him only has to do with urbanshade experiments, and before Sebastian kinda ruined the facility, in a day I’ll call “containment breach 001” bc I’m lazy.

So as mentioned, all his lore is JUST there and I haven’t made his life before urbanshade, and how he acts with the expendable/sebastian, his only agreed apon character brought up multiple times in his lore is his “daughter” a young girl who’s father is a scientist. Basically they went through the same experimentation for their “kind” like variants. In the image he’s trying to claw out of the cell because the last set of experimentation (replacing the lower half of the body with the long tail/serpentine half) was planned on happening to his “daughter” that day. Ofc I blacked out things I don’t think should be shown. My question is which hair he looks better with? Long or short. It won’t affect his lore much unless the length of his hair indicates how long he’s in the facility for before he finally cuts it after the breach. Lmk which one looks better! I’m unsure if i want to share the uncensored blur to the curious, but if you’re desperate for it, i suppose i could in dm’s. Otherwise I don’t think people need to be exposed to that lol
