Cheron

[Turtletrekker]

His hair seemed to have the black and white attribute too, unlike Bele and Lokai, whose hair was brown all over. Could be that his species is a splinter group that left for deep space millennia ago.

Augment virus.

He got sensitive about his age and started dyeing it

If one has such a striking complexion, dying one's hair to match seems a sensible fashionable option.

The Mego Cheronian had a hooded jumpsuit that wasn't the canonical grey.

Georgiou was pretending to be French, maybe he learned for her.

Was it better than Jean Luc Picard pretending to be French?

You know Ian, and please don't take this the wrong way, but you were the first person I thought of when we saw the naked Andorian in the honeymoon suite.

Ha! I actually backtracked to check what I thought I'd seen!

And it was the same actor as Mr Linus in "Discovery"! (David Benjamin Tomlinson.)

the almost flesh coloured pants he's wearing did make me think he was totally naked the first time.

I thought that they were subtly canonizing the four genders from the novels.

That's what I thought! I was like wait.. WAIT!!

Missed opportunity there. He should have been nekkid.

So Andorians have smooth bulges down below? No wonder Shran was always so cranky!

I mean she's an Antedean so you know she lays her eggs then she leaves and then you release your fertiliser.

Leslie Fish had some theories on this:

Honestly, that the TOS Cherons had such run-of-the-mill plain brown hair never really seemed right to me. With that drastic of a difference beteen skin tones, it feels like their hair color should match the color of the underlying skin better, like a shaved cat.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Maybe they were the ones who colored their hair, or modified their genes. Or perhaps it can go either way (hair color matches skin, or doesn't)

He was probably a few millenia younger than Bele or Loki.

I assume as they age, their hair color goes Mono.

Ironic retcon--Cheron didn't actually destroy itself in war, it was assimilated by the Borg. As the Borg turn all their assimilated Borg into a pale skin of color, the assimilated Cheronians no longer had a reason to hate each other (not that they could as they were controlled by the Collective now).

Why would the Borg abandon Cheron afterwards? Spock saw the destruction.

In ST: First Contact we saw the Borg remained and colonized worlds they assimilated.
