Are all Brights Wizards red-headed step-children, Carrot Top wannabes, Opie, etc?

My phrasing of the question is done tongue-in-cheek with sarcasism, but in all seriousness, are Bright Wizards all red heads because of their connection to fire? If I made a BW in WAR would I only have the option of red and orange based colors for hair, facial hair, etc? Is there a lore explanation or am I basing my question off of the fact that we've only seen red heads in images, videos, etc?

The winds of magic mutate their users. Thus Bright Wizards often have beard and hair that resemble fire. Also, it affects their psyche, so Bright Wizards tend to be very temperamental and easy to anger.

Same applies to all wizards, really. The HE Mages use magic with care so they are usually least affected.

Maybe lowbie BWs could have natural tones and highbie ones very aggressively bright tones?

There is a picture of a Bright Wizard in the Lore of Aqshy section of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay supplementary book "Realms of Sorcery". In it, he is blonde, with a bristly goatee beard.

I think variations in hair colour are fine. It's only the supreme Wizard Lords of the Bright College who start to bear the marks of Aqshy such as fiery red hair.

Don't mind me, just rolling this over to the class-specific forum :)

I can see anything from a red-tinged blonde through to a charcoal black with a reddish tint working, as long as it's vaguely fiery.
