Just a Face and a Caption: White Haired Pretty Boy

The picture tells me nothing. The caption is doing all the work. He doesn't look the least bit evil. I've not very familiar with anime but surely there's something that looks a little evil or eerie and aloof, not 'content.' Something more like this would be better◊, though I'm not sure he's expected to be pretty, but he does look evil and has white hair.

There are some fans of some show who know who he is and why you should care.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested on the current, as red eyes are often evil. The suggestion is an improvement.

Red eyes are often a result of albinism.

This image is good for an albino. This trope is not about albinos.

Factor in that a) this trope is not just about being white haired and that b) most of the examples are only "This character is this" and I see this image as being greatly harmful.

Motion to remove

Good example, pic's too ambiguous. However, I'm voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested on this. A screencap from one of the Rebuild movies or from the original show with subtitles would work better, methinks.

I think the suggestion in OP is better, though not necessarily good.

Op suggestion is better than current if only because it shows the "evil" aspect of the trope while showing everything else that current does.

The character in the OP suggestion isn't actually evil though, unless there's some major twist in that series I'm unaware of.

I thought the evil in the Kaworu pic was indicated by the spooky background...

Maybe Ramirez◊ from Skies of Arcadia? This picture taken from one of the fights with him (a Heads I Win, Tails You Lose one, too), just after he levels your base. He's not a good guy.

...actually this image isn't very good. Hrmm. Maybe later in the game◊ as one of the final bosses - actually THE final boss, but it's something of a Marathon Boss, so.

Oh, here's a better one from the same segment as the first.◊

If the burning one had good quality, it'd be good.

Spooky background? You mean the pretty sunset, or something else?

Went for an HD video on You Tube of it. Annoyingly, I'm pretty sure it is, in fact, not HD, just upscaled to 720p in a rather blurry fashion... Short of playing the entire game up to that point (and it's pretty late in the game, too) on Dolphin, not sure I can get that shot any clearer than that one from the LPArchive Let's Play of it.

Shot after that one, however is a bit better. Tidied up a bit and resized to 350:

It's okay, but a bit dark.

I think it looks good but the page says that the hair has to be white or silver, not blonde. Personally I'd rather have something that actually looks evil, but has some yellow in it, then have just some guy with white hair.

Reckon someone can whiten/silveren the hair there? If so, I'm good with it, dark or no.

How about the stereotypical "Sephiroth in Nibelheim burning" pic?◊

In use on Draco in Leather Pants.

Bleh, it would work far better here.

Well, there's Bakura◊. Laughing.◊ Creatively.◊ Or Marik.◊

How about this image of Oswald◊ by Zeiva? It definitely looks evil and white-haired.

@14: Ramirez is blonde?◊ He always looked◊ white-haired to me◊. That scene in general is red-tinted, due to, well, the area being on fire.

I'd call that a light platinum blond, which kind of is between white and blond. Close enough to white to count for the trope, at any rate.

@ 17: I am sort of surprised that Draco in Leather Pants does not have pics on its medium specific pages. It is an easy trope to illustrate, aside from getting permissions for fanarts I guess.

@ 20 - I think your first is actually really good.

@ 20: I tried to do a bit of color correction and... I am pretty sure that guy is a blond. It is a very pale blond though, so maybe it still counts?

Oh, and for shits and giggles, here are a also couple of Griffith.

@ willthiswork - He looks more white haired with the changes but blue would emphasis white more than purple. Can you tone down the purple? You know Griffith doesn't look evil, right?
