I didn't realize how important hairstyles were in headspace, at least as far as overlays go.
Personal "vibes" and appearance keys are VERY important, apparently. The slightest variation, and you lose the accuracy of who the person is.
I think it's because, for us, every little detail is important. So when you get one little detail off, well, then the same reflects on the person.
It's partly to do with our love of symbolism, but also it has to do with visual representation of feelings and vibes? I don't know if that quite counts as "symbolism" but it's in the same field, essentially.
Anyway. I'm bringing this up about hairstyles because 1) that's one of the first things (sometimes the only thing) that locks into a headvoice's overlay when they front, so it's a key identifier, and 2) lately we've been "feeling" those better with "faceless fronters" AND past cores/hosts (splinters of such count as "faceless" for a while because they all need to form slightly new ones for their individual vibe once they are no longer the current bloodline continuer) so the significance of the slightest variables in those just hit me, as a result.
The "Jay" bloodline, a.k.a. the male Host bloodline, which started in 2009, is very much tied to hairstyles, we've noticed. (The Jewel bloodline almost always have their famous "Klonoa hair" so that's unmistakable. It's the Jewel splinters that are confusing, as they tend to follow Cannon's short and somewhat generic style.)
...
This next bit is all going to be total brainstorming, so it's all tentative, I'm just trying to put ideas down while they're coming to me.
The original "Jayce," aka Pinstripe, was also the first WHITE-anchor person in the Spectrum.
Unfortunately, he got terribly corrupted, and collapsed into a splinter.
His hair was the swept-back "Celebi style."


This style is now tied to what we call the "ice vibe." When a Host wears it, they pick up on Pinstripe's vibe which, if I may remind you, is NOT a healthy one.
The second "Jayce," a transitional, is actually very unique because he did NOT have a solid hairstyle, showing his identity was also rather unstable. He went through at least three styles.


Our third Host was "Eros," who we currently call "Cupid" to distinguish from the previous Cerise holder and splinter.
This guy had UP-swept hair, for the most part. He ALSO had the "celebi-style" hair BUT since it was red, it held a different vibe.
NOTABLY, the final picture here (celebi base but fluffier) has a hairstyle that is STILL positive???
SUMMER=


WINTER=




This guy IS still around as his OWN PERSON, notable because he is SEPARATE FROM BOTH JAY AND BOTH EROS SPLINTERS.
We can't reach him well yet but he HAS fronted a few times over the past few months, and he is time-locked.
Our third Host was Deon, and we have no idea what kind of hair he had, although it was assumedly the swept-up style but in white?
Our fourth Host appeared after the Scratch and we're not sure what the heck happened there, so.
Our CURRENT Host, assumedly our fifth, is Jay Iridos, and he has "fluff" hair.
It CAN warp into the celebi-style if he isn't careful, and in that state he CAN'T hold iridescence properly so that is NOT safe.







added july 26th=
current jay line fractures all having DIFFERENT SURNAMES??? to differentiate the shifts.
snow guy= icicle?
current rainbow light guy= iridos
"adakias" is a name that SEEMS to be sticking (fittingly) to the post-Scratch guy?? just hit me now, he DID use that name. but he's completely fragmented off already. same with "cupid."
