Nako's torso has a veritable covering of scars. Most of which came from when he had been aducted and tortured. Beyond that, he has a couple from when an op didnt go too successfully.

Howl's back is heavily scarred from whippings he received in childhood.Â He was very close to his dad and loved him dearly, but his dad wanted him to be tough and impervious to pain, hence the beatings.Â That dichotomy is an indicator of Howl's personality, and his relative toughness in the face of pain has been a plot factor occasionally.Â He's not superhuman of course, but he's able to shrug off and ignore pain that most would find distracting.

Weaver's entire body is covered in burns and scars from her ordeal with dragons in her youth. She will never wear revealing attire in order to obfuscate the injuries from others. Despite being a healer she cannot fix them, as the battle was years ago. Furthermore her left leg is nearly useless, forcing her to walk with a cane.

Worse yet, the overtaxed physicker that attended her neglected to treat unseen internal injuries, resulting in the modern Weaver having the constitution of an anemic jellyfish.

Chika Ito · **12-21-2014, 01:39 AM**

Chika's list of scars;

Old scars that run criss-crossed on her back. She worked in a brothel for nearly ten years, and when she first started her career there Chika wasn't always the most obedient woman, and would sometimes refuse to do what the clients wanted. To be punished for her refusal she was whipped.
A small scar where her lower jaw meets her throat. It is small, and faint, and you have to be close to see it. This is where her mother stuck her spear head at during a duel between the two.
Little scars that dot her fingertips. Acquired from years of weaving.
On her lower right abdomen, close to the right ovary, is a small mass of scar tissue. Chika hadÂ challengedÂ herÂ mother for the title of matriarch of the Ito tribe. During which Chika was impaled by her mother's spear, the result was the scar and now she lacks a right ovary.
Chika was in Limsa shopping with her ex fiancee, now missing, Arli. The pair had split up to do holiday shopping, so she was alone. While she was browsing through a fabric stall an old, and abusive, client she use to 'tend' to back in the brothel approached her. He tried convincing her to sleep with him, and when she said no he grabbed hold of her. Chika struck out violently to protect herself, and in the backlash from him, the flesh over her left eye took damage. Now there is a visible scar there.
Faint, small scars litter her knuckles on both hands. When Arli went missing Chika took out her sudden aggression in objects around her house.
A long scar over her right knee from an injury sheÂ receivedÂ to it during a matriarch battle with her sister,Â Layla.

Both Zutoto's hands have burns on them from her cooking and magical training. They don't hurt her dexterity but they make it hard to grip things too tightly.

She also has a pretty bad stabbing scar right in her side she got during her piracy adventures. The story there is pretty obvious, she got skewered by a pirate. Doesn't hurt mobility but obviously getting hit there isn't great.

She doesn't let healers fully patch either of those up, feeling they're part of her education.

Aaron · **12-21-2014, 01:50 AM**

Almost forgot,Â

Aaron has a scar that shows on his palm and back of his hand (the blade ran through his hand cleanly) from a duel with Aerostein Epitaph, during the final clash Aaron was aiming to kill Aero but moved the blade at the last second with his left hand.

It's why he's always seen wearing gloves.

In the past I've RPed T'rahnu (in other games, under a slightly different name) as being covered in scars, but this time I went down a different track: she doesn't have any scars. In her case, this is largely to illustrate just how exceptional she is as an individual - so talented and carefree that she's never once put herself into a situation nor suffered an accident where she could obtain a permanent scar.

She has suffered cuts and scrapes, of course, but so far nothing on a level such that her body couldn't heal the damage away completely.

Realistically speaking, Eorzea does seem like the kind of world where more people have scars of some kind than those who do not. There's just so many ways to get yourself into a dangerous situation or suffer some kind of debilitating accident. Anyone who doesn't has to be either privileged or really, really careful.

Kou · **12-21-2014, 02:12 AM**

K'washi has a few.

Once upon a time, when he was young and stupid, he got lost in the Sagolii Desert and got attacked by a Sundrake. It cut rather deep and is the reason he's mute. He would have died if he hadn't been found by some of the Drake-Tribe Miqos. He has a scar across his throat because of it.

He also has a more recent pair that are close. Two, somewhat small, scars on his left side. One is from a rather nasty stabbing incident, where an old enemy had planned on leaving him to bleed out (loljoke'sonthem). The other is from an arrow, actually, that hit him in the Grindstone.

Aaand that's about it so far! xD

Parvacake · **12-21-2014, 02:12 AM**

Lili doesn't have many scars. She has one across the bridge of her nose that was a close call while training with an axe and a few barely noticeable bite marks from her previous mate that never seemed to want to go away. Everything else are just knicks and cuts that come and go.

Nomine · **12-21-2014, 02:24 AM**

Ho man Jeris has a TON!

The most noticeable is his missing eye, lost in a desperate gamble to save himself and a friend from certain doom! Â Dramatic, aye(eye)!

He has a few cuts across his cheek and lip from where his son whom he hasn't seen for a number of years beat the living hell out of him at their last parting.

Across his left shoulder and neck is extensive scarring from burns sustained from rescuing said son as a child from their burning home.

He has a number of other scars across his torso and chest from bullet wounds, stab sounds, cuts and gouges from a rather rough life in the wilds and on sea, plenty with their own stories but the top few are definitely the most notable.

Flashhelix · **12-24-2014, 03:10 AM**

This one time, this guy did something and now my character has a scar

Leomoon · **12-24-2014, 09:18 AM**

Tana's body is covered in scars. she has over a hundred on her back from battling a small army of bandits and she nearly died. She has one right across her nose from a spear while she was trying to become a Dragoon and another on her cheek from training to be a Warrior.

Her stomach had a claw mark from a bear in the arena she fought and there is a large cut going down her her whole front, from her right shoulder to her left hip by a Paladin that betrayed her.

Mercurias · **12-25-2014, 03:54 AM**

I normally imagine that a world full of magical healing would often have a corresponding amount of chances for scarring to be reduces under all but the most extreme circumstances.Â

That being said M'sato has a number of scars from either times when magical healing wasn't available or when the damage was so severe he had to walk away Â permanently marked up.Â

My alt, Solomon, honestly hasn't had a whole lot of deep friendships where he would've revealed how he's earned some of his damage, but given Sol's personality that could be a while.

...I need to stop roleplaying characters who are so damned hard to get to know.

Caspar · **02-14-2015, 01:01 PM**

There are a lot of scars on my Lala, though none of them are particularly serious or easy to see without being pretty close. In Bajiquan, a common exercise is striking trees with some pliability with your forearms repeatedly to build strength. The fictional style Virara trains in has similar exercises, though the strikes are harder and usually against more robust trees. It wasn't unusual for Virara to literally chop the tree down after a long day of training; her house's grove was full of new saplings and old stumps. As a result, her forearms are covered with faint scratches, along with her fists, which are calloused from general training.

Along with this, she has some scarring from being punished or beaten by her Master, mostly on the back, and some older, more faint scars from her survival years. After a certain point this became less common. Her heterochromia is actually the result of getting slugged in the face by her Master during training; one of her eyes is always slightly dilated, so it appears to be a different color from a distance. This doesn't have a huge effect on her vision, which is fortunate for her, but it's still there.

Erik Mynhier · **02-14-2015, 02:12 PM**

Erik's body has the requisite scars of a soldier. There are a few notable ones, namely one on his left forearm and one over his right eye. The one on his arm was placed on purpose by an old enemy and is shaped like a viper. The one over his eye was given to him by his best friend during a bout of madness. The attack that scared his eye also caused him to lose the eye. So in a way the eye is a "scar" as well as it is a lifelike construct created by a culmination of alchemic research and goldsmith skill.
