No ink or piercings, but I've managed to accumulate a patchwork of scars. Mostly cuts, but there are some remnants of burns mixed in for flavor. In no particular order...

Multiple long straight scars extending the length of each upper leg; a diagonal gash on the outside right ankle; a network of scar and burn tissue across my front torso extending to my lower neck, favoring my left side somewhat; one lone scar across the top of my right hand; and to top it off, a surgical scar on the front of my left shoulder, where said joint was replaced.

The only real scar I have is one on my hip, caused from falling off a rooftop in Paris during my detective days.It's about two inches long and less than 1/4 inch wide, right along the pelvis bone and appears as a lighter color than the rest of my skin. There are a few random marks from martial arts training, but all have healed well.

Aside from that I do have some freckles, though I don't freckle easily. If I spend all day in the sun, there may be a few on my shoulders and on the bridge of my nose.

I don't have any real tattoos - although I do have a collection of fake ones that I may don for a disguise.
As a professional thief, unique identification marks like tattoos tend to draw too much attention for my taste. I prefer to be able to hide and blend in with a crowd when I'm out of costume. I can't risk someone finding out who I am due to a tattoo.

The same goes for scars although usually you don't get a choice as far as scars go.
I have only two scars on me and both are usually hidden.
One scar is from when I had my appendix removed, and the other is on my right arm. The latter came courtesy of an incident back in Russia; an incident of which I prefer not to talk about for various reasons.

Ephelides. My skin freckles rather readily and so, I am prodigiously vigilant about wearing sunscreen--even indoors--and limiting my exposure to the sun. However, I do love being out in the sunshine and have always had light freckling all over my face and most of my arms and upper torso.

Annually, I see a dermatologist in Geneva. He has looked after my skin since my adolescent years and I remain quite hesitant to leave his purview.

. . .

I used to have an assortment of small scars on my right leg, the remnant of reconstructive surgery after having shattered my right tibia, fibula, and talus in an aviation accident, but they have since been removed by time and scar revision procedures.

. . .

Apart from the above, I have neither tattoos nor strange markings to speak of (natural or otherwise). The piercing I have is mundane--a pair on my ears, for jewellery.

The most prominent scar I have lies above my right eyebrow from clay pigeon debris, which I usually cover with my hair or a few dabs of makeup, depending on the day.

As for tattoos, I have my namesake gun in a garter on my right thigh, a coral snake wrapped around my left ankle, and my mom and dad's badge numbers on my left upper rib cage.

I have no tattoos or piercings, aside from ears. Near my right shoulder, I have a birthmark surrounded by 22 freckles that resembles an atomic diagram for titanium.

Although they eventually fade, I tend to have seam abrasions from wearing hazmat suits. Also, I have a few marks on my fingers from my X-acto soldering iron.

I have two tattoos:
  • A celtic knot cross framed by a white and a black wing across the top of my back
  • An Irish flag colored shamrock surrounded by the phrase "What does not kill me, makes me stronger" in Gaelic on my right bicep
I also have a ragged scar on the inside of my left wrist

I don't have any scars, but I do have enough ink to make up for the ones that don't. I have 2 sleeves of tattoos. The right sleeve is a bio-mechanical sleeve which has lots brightly colored tubes and parts. My left sleeve is a tribal wrap with a lot of black ink.

I have many scars. Most are on the forearms and hands from working in the orange orchard and some other jobs. I also have a light one on the bridge of my nose from falling off a tree. The most interesting is a smooth straight line under my left rib cage that I get from sword fight.

When I was little bit young I had few tattoos. My paratrooper battalion slogan, my mispar ishi [military ID] and also the name of a pretty girl. I had to get all removed before undercover operations. I think I will get the slogan again now... but not the girl's name.

For scars there is a small lighter skin color line on my bottom lip. It was there since I split my lip during the same accident where I broke my leg. It's easily covered by lipstick.

I also always wanted a tattoo, but I don't like needles so have never gone through with it.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
