Tarn's mohawk

Famed throughout the galaxy for his mohawk, often mistaken for a meatlump or a punk, it was high time to explain the signification of the legendary hairstyle.

Tarn's adpoted this traditional hairstyle early in his scouting career. Beyond aesthetism, there were some pratical reasons, such as health and hygiene. Later in life, he added significance to his haircut. In accordance to traditional beliefs, the mohawk symbolizes the energy fields that radiates around a being's body. This belief may be somehow related at a symbolic level to that of the Aa'kuans to whom the respect of the private space is paramount.
