Line 2:
A list of tabletop games in which characters have unusually colored hair.
----
* In ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the moon elves of Faerun commonly have white, silver, or bright blue hair and blue-tinted skin, while the gold elves (also called sun elves) may have metallic golden hair and golden eyes. Plus, the bizarre hair, eye, and skin colors of half-dragons and dragonblooded characters, who are descended from dragons [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]] (red, green, blue, black, white), or of various planar nonhuman races like the Genasi, who are the offspring of elementals and humanoids. To be fair, ''Dungeons & Dragons'' is [[A Wizard Did It|a fantasy setting]] and most of these listed races are just that: [[Loads and Loads of Races|different races]], i.e [[Halfbreed|not even]] ([[Interspecies Romance|entirely]]) [[Halfbreed|human in the first place]]. This can be transmitted to their half-human children and persist for generations.
* In the ''[[GURPS]] [[Discworld]]'' scenario "A Little Job For The Patrician", published in ''Pyramid Magazine'', the heavily anime-based villain insists his trolls all grow different coloured moss on their heads, so he can tell them apart, and his [[The Igor|Igor]] has implanted blue hair, just because.
* In the ''heavily'' anime-influenced RPG [[Mekton]], Mike Pondsmith's infamous Lifepath character generation system includes a table for hair color, which includes both more staid, real-life hair colors as well as anime hair colors such as green, purple, pink and, yes, blue.
Line 10:
* Due to the randomization nature of character generation in ''[[Maid RPG]]'', while your characters can have brown, blonde, or black hair, you can also have gold, metallic, rainbow, and ''transparent'' hair.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s [http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=222111 Reckless Waif] has pink hair. In this case, the unusual hair color is a [[Morphic Resonance|visual shorthand]] to make it clear that the pink-haired human girl on the front face is the same creature as the pink-furred [[Werewolf]] on the other side.
* The orks of [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] are naturally bald, so they use hair-squig implants (a small voracious creature with a colorful furry rear end that bites onto the scalp). In [[Dawn of War]] it's even used as a team color spot.
