RE: Character Wounds: Every Scar, a Story - Sounsyy - 02-14-2015
Wow, I was actually talking to friends about scars last night. <_<
So IRL I'm a paramedic, so I tend to take IC injury pretty realistically - and when it comes to scarring, most injuries Sounsyy sustains that weren't treated with excessive magical healing have left some sort of mark depending on the injury. However, most of the time, Sounsyy is fully clothed and covered so I sometimes forget scars should actually be there. >< But now that Sounsyy has been um more revealing I've had to get a bit more descriptive.
In relation to your Sin thread:
(02-14-2015, 12:50 AM)Sounsyy Wrote: -Violently bludgeoned a man to death (who deserved it).Sounsyy's first (chronologically) and only readily visible scar is a gash on her left cheek from her very first pit match on the Bloodsands as a Noxius when she was fifteen. Sounsyy's opponent disarmed her of her spear and clocked her across the face with it, splitting open that cheek. Sounsyy retaliated by caving in the man's skull with his pauldron that had been ripped free earlier in the fight.
Sounsyy was gravely injured in the Battle of Carteneau five years ago when she was struck (indirectly) by a Reaper cannon. The bones in her left forearm were broken in multiple places (creating an open ulnar fracture when she applied pressure to her arm) as well as several broken ribs, a broken clavicle, as well as partial and full-thickness burns across her left arm, shoulder, and back. The open fracture in her arm left scarring and if someone were to run their hand down her left arm, they could probably feel where her arm had been broken. The burns left patches of blanched skin across her body, which are fairly obvious even with Sounsyy's fair skin tone. This is why Sounsyy almost always wears long sleeves and rarely reveals her skin.
More recently, during Sounsyy's participation in the Grindstone she's gained two new scars. The first is a diagonal gash extending vertically downward from her navel, giving her belly button a really weird, deformed shape. She got that one from being gutted in the stomach by Makyn a few weeks back. The second is a 2-ilm diameter puncture wound appearing on both sides of her right shoulder, just below her clavicle, where she was pierced with a spear. Because of body positioning, the spear didn't exit cleanly and has torn the muscles in her shoulder, resulting in Sounsyy having her sword arm in a sling for a while until I deem her recovered.
No other scars yet! ^^ But I feel like it's only a matter of time the longer Sounsyy participates in the Grindstone.

Wow, so detailed, so grotesque. XD
RE: Character Wounds: Every Scar, a Story - Askier - 02-14-2015
I'll add mine
1 - Scar underneath his left eye. This scar Askier recieved from Jana during my first event ever, She smashed Askier's eye with the corner of her book and while the eye did heal eventually, it left a small scar beneath, and an awesome running gag for the rest of the event rps lol.
2 - Scar on the left half of his gut. Askier got this from when he fell off a chocobo onto a bottle of whiskey and it broke, slicing him up. Speaking of slicing...
3 - 60 percent of his body from the waiste down is covered in scars of various sorts. Askier was capture by the character, The Crimson Mountian, and tortured mercilessly with lots of various tools including getting partially flayed...was a darrrrrrrrk rp session.
4 - Has an arrow scar in his chest from when KAhn'a Od'hilkas shot him with an arrow....asshole :p
5 - Has two bullet hole scars in his gut from his encounters with Adin Adonis and Jin'li Epinoch.
RE: Character Wounds: Every Scar, a Story - Makyn Loneseeker - 02-15-2015
Makyn has had very few scars (due to him not being in the field toooo long). His most recent are from Grindstone. One on his left shoulder, where a knife pierced and stuck in his arm. One across the side of his neck after Mamluk cut off the strap that held his helmet on. While it wasn't too deep, it was forgotten in the rush to keep Mamluk from dying after Makyn stabbed him in the last fight.
Others included are several on his arms and legs, as well as a slash to his chest.
More will come soon as injuries heal, he was attacked on the road, leaving him with newer slashes, and while he took a potion, it didn't fully heal everything.
I tend to view that while magic and potions may be applied, it will generally always leave a scar. xD
