The only scar i have is under my left eye and is from when i was still a novice in the mage school in the city of Jehanna, Highrock, where i was also born... i sustained the injury when i tried to bind a sword to myself but alas being a novice i didn't realise that conjuration magic is one of the schools that requires the upmost concentration and i allowed my mind to wander when Arielle walked past me (i had quite a thing for her)...anyway the sword was almost fully formed when she walked past but with my lack of concentration it became unstable and exploded.

Shards of the sword flew all around the main hall, a piece of the main blade about five inches long struck me in the face and i fell to the ground bleeding, little did i know the damage i had caused, the hilt and about a foot of the blade flew straight past the arch mages head mssing him by an inch and was lodged in his seat, and when i rose to my feet i saw Arielle laying on the ground infront of me, another big shard of the blade had hit her in the back, i was told she was dead before she hit the floor, this was however little comfort to me, i picked up the shard that had hit me in the face, quickly stabilized it and ran out of the mages guild, out of jehanna for that matter.

I keep this sword shard on a piece of twine around my neck and i shave my head with it every morning at dawn, i was told that my long brown hair was quite beautiful once... i resent my hair being called beautiful when Arielle is the only beautiful thing in this world, so i deny the world the chance to see my hair.

Damn not gonna lie thats some good storytelling bro you should write a book id buy it :tops:

:ph34r: We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing west so you may watch your world die.. Ohh wait wrong game -__-

wow thanks, iv'e been thinking about my characters looks and backstory for a week or so now so i can spend as little time in the character creator as possible and still come out with a good character, this bit was made up on the fly just for this thread, apart from the head shaving at dawn thing, that was a central thing i built my character around right from the start, it was to be a devotional ritual to the old gods of highrock that i did whilst i was in the strange foreign province of skyrim

Fighting against a Argonian and nearly lob my characters head off. Too bad he did not.
Wearing his skin now on my characters foot. It feels good walking with them on.

My Nord got his scars while raiding small settlements along the coasts of Solstheim.

Hunting accident, Yep.

My mom asked me why I never smile, so I cut myself one on my lips

Well, you see, that particular scar was when a reprehensible wench bit the tip of my.. well, nevermind.

On a more serious note, if available I'll have a smattering of scars all over my torso and upper arms from sword-fighting in my characters childhood (he learned early). I'll also have one somewhere near the middle of my face where my best friend accidentally sliced me when we were playing around with real swords after we had been told not to. So of course we did it. Too bad he was killed in a tavern brawl a few years ago.

masterbatory accident.... :sadvaultboy:

My dunmer escaped the Argonian invasion on Morrowind with a scar.

i have a scar from the top of my face to my chin from gettin hit with a dog chain so i always put the most fierce scare possible. and i think it adds to the badass look for warriors shows all the npc's im not to be f***ed with.

As an argonian, well, lets just put it this way.
Swimming down rivers in a mountainous region isn't a good idea.

I've been sigged <3 Life has been fulfilled.

I may have a slight scar somewhere..

not really gonna have a story, its just...a scar

War will have War Scars. Pun intended.

True that, true indeed :toughninja:

I really don't have a real backstory for my Main, but i do have an idea of it.

He is one of the only surviving Dunmer from when the Argonians attacked Vvardenfell after Red Mountain erupted and he fought and fought and only came out with a large scar on his right cheek

"Want to know how I got these scars?"

Hopefully it just won't be your face with the option to add scars, as my Dunmer was betrayed years ago, and run through with a Katana, which pierced his heart, but luckily was saved and healed by a Nord healer. And so I would love to have a big scar across my chest, and yes, I am motivated to help the Nords due to my lifesaver all those years ago.

Don't go around Winterhold being a womanizer

got into a fight with a mudcrab merchant in morrowind

I got my first Scar from a broken bottle at a Bar Fight, and my second Scar was from wolf who my Argonian was breaking in and was trying to tame

Well my khajiti had a real rough upbringing in Bravil, an orphan whos parents were killed by drunken imperial bandits, which led Aargh-Mor-Pork to mix with the poorest of the poor as a street urchin robbing and stealing on the mean streets of Bravil , after getting addicted to moonsugar imported from morrowind Aargh-Mor-Pork started to steal more often and more recklessly to support his habit(hes a rogue you see), one stormy night while he was home invading looking for anything of value he gets caught by the owner a , a massive burly Imperial who runs the butcher shop in bravil, a fight ensues leaving my Khajit with a dagger cut across his cheek and half a ear missing !!! after rotting in prison for 6 months young Aargh-Mor-Pork uses his scars as a reminder never to go back to moonsugar ...if hes gonna be a rogue hes gonna use his wealth to increase his power and status and never will he be unprepared again.........

I cut myself shaving.
