Anime characters with burn scars8/18/2023 How many people remember that Luke is scarred if I don’t mention it when he takes his shirt off? What about the scar that Nyx keeps hidden? Some readers didn’t even pick up on her losing her long hair in Family of the Tri-Rune. Yet I don’t know if this carries over to books since you don’t see the character. Keep in mind that it is rude to make these thoughts public. Some people wonder about the story behind the scar or the hygiene of someone riddled with acne. Does a scar really take away from a character’s attractiveness? In real life, we notice blemishes and it alters our perception.How does Spidey never ignite when he’s running through a burning building in spandex? In fact, fictional characters are hard to set on fire unless the story calls for it. Burns are a big one in here because those can scar easily outside of fiction. Yet it happens all the time in real life even with wounds that aren’t life-threatening. In non-visual fiction, it rarely crosses our minds that an injury can’t be fully healed. Every superhero would be a walking scar instead of the unblemished skin of a baby that they seem to have. Imagine if scar-worthy injuries actually got the scar in comic books. Even stranger is how readers don’t notice either. It’s funny how authors can overlook an injury that should scar, but doesn’t.Again, this might only be in America since I know some anime woman with scars that are in the middle. ![]() There’s rarely a middle ground with female characters that are scarred. The trade-off ends up being the body of Aphrodite, the combat skills of Ares, and the mind of Athena. If it isn’t barely visible then it looks like somebody tore up the woman’s face with a vengeance. I forgot the movie or show where a man and woman are comparing scars, but I couldn’t see what the woman was pointing at even when I paused the TV. Barely visible and you simply have to take their word for it. Very few heroines have scars and those that do fall into two categories.Yet we seem to see scars on a heroes as a sign of prowess and manliness. At least in American culture since Vash (Trigun) and Kenshin have scars and are nice. Any good guys with ‘ugly’ scars tend to be gritty and angry like Jonah Hex. Scars on villains always seem to be scary and intimidating. Scars on heroes are typically made to look and sound attractive/noble.Of course this brought my mind to a few other things when it comes to scars and characters: Healing magic could do it since she was the one person not to be hit by a spell in the beat down. Right now I’m leaving it up to her, but it’s really hard to believe that she wouldn’t be scarred because of this. This isn’t going to be an easily seen mark though, but it does feel like I can’t casually give her one. ![]() It’s hard to put a scar on her because of her personality and the importance of her physical beauty. Timoran has a bunch and Nyx is sporting one after an earlier incident. Luke is already sporting 2 and might be getting a third. So this brought my mind to the idea of physical scars. Just writing up the injury list was painful and only one of them was in a condition that wasn’t life-threatening. I recently hit a point in my series where the heroes got brutally trashed. Bruce Lee will work because you know those wounds won’t heal completely. We’ll see what I grab after I write this post and go back on the hunt. Basically I wanted to avoid Harry, Joker, Freddy, Scar (Lion King), and Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist). I never realized how hard it is to find a character with scars that aren’t over the top, barely visible, or on a character that’s simply over done. It’s actually taking me an hour to find a picture for this post.
