I Guess Since This Is OC Lore I Should Tag The Relevant Universe? - Tumblr Posts

THISSSSS GOD YES THIS. I want more dumb, mundane scars in character designs. generally in character design scars are only used as backstory or character arc elements, but honestly? I have a lip scar where I split it with two powerful magnets as a toddler. I have a splotch where I spilled hot grease on my thumb knuckle. those scars are just as important because they remind us that we’re humans, fragile and dumb and somehow resilient.

in service of this I gave Zak (one of my oldest OCs, and one of my favorites) a big edgy scar that runs across the bridge of his nose and onto his upper right brow, just above the eye. he tells a different badass story about it every time someone asks, but he actually got it by whacking his face into an engine he was working under when his friend jokingly spooked him.

give me more dumb scars!!

scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~

scars in real life: so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife
