8 Things Your Dramatic Videogame Scar Reveals About You

you might have thought the scars were patches of fibrous tissue produced by the body's natural healing process with no more use than to indicate how you fell off your bike or where you got bitten by that marmoset actually scars are deeply meaningful and symbolic external signs of destiny ruggedness and evildoing for instance consider if you will these significant video game scars and what they reveal about you the scarred video game hero as you begin your epic voyage to become the most angsty hero in the history of angsty heroes also known as final fantasy take a look at your character design real quick you've got the boy band haircut the bomber jacket and the Hot Topic jewelry but as a finishing touch have you considered a dramatic but in no way disfiguring facial scar nothing too big or nasty looking this scar will be artfully sliced therein and heroic fuel with your not quite so handsome rival and nemesis Seifer are marty and in addition to setting off your steely blue eyes it'll symbolize your complicated enmity with your antagonist to be especially after you give them a matching mirror image scar to remember you by always like one of those BFF heart necklaces that comes in two bits if you're a professional Witcher you'll have an impressive set of battle scars from all the wet chirring in now I don't find that amusing and with the amount of time you're going to be shirtless which is a lot you can't go wrong with a nice collection of brutal claw marks and rudimentary stitches in the chest and abdominal region which is shredded in every sense am i right don't actually answer that but the essential Wittering scar has got to be the rugged slash over one eye that says I came this close to having my yellow cat like I get out by an angry cockatrice ladies give me a name or I'll cut your balls off and sell them to a Krogan are you sick of not being able to tell how evil someone is by how smooth their faces me too at the start of Mass Effect 2 after Shepard gets all asphyxiated in space and then burned up in a planets upper atmosphere he or she gets cobbled back together by Cerberus in a Lazarus resurrection machine Commander Shepard has been recovered a Lazarus project we proceeded all things told Cerberus does a decent job of reconstructing you from a charcoal briquette but they do leave a fine spider web-like network of scar tissue on your noble village you can bring people back from the dead but not fully heal a few face cracks really Miranda whatever the really handy thing about having a spider web-like network of scar tissue though is the way it acts as an indicator on the outside for how evil you are on the inside I didn't hear an officer on deck I run this ship military the more renegade your actions the deeper and redder your scars get until they're like craggy fishes of lava it's just a helpful sign telling everyone to stay out of your way what sound will you make when you hit the ground think you'll hear it before you die oh and your eyes start glowing of course what the hell were you thinking the only way to get by in this place is to get ourselves so respect beer that's how we get respect show them all that we do things when life gives you lemons the enterprising soul will go ahead and make lemonade and when life burns off half your face with acid that same dude will roll with it spinning an entire supervillain identity out of how his head is now half normal half angry red scar tissue and lidless eyeball the theme is the duality of man here so we're talking a bespoke two-tone suit referring to yourself in the first-person plural we should be further this is a place of justice after all and making all two option decisions by flipping a coin heads or tails kitty cat now that's commitment to a bit the Mortal Kombat series has a storyline as complex and baffling to outsiders as a Brazilian telenovela only with punching instead of crying you might think you know everything there is to know about sub-zero flu guy about yay big pond of ice skating what you might not realize is that there have been multiple sub zeros and that the original one whose name is B Han was killed at the end of the very first game because this is Mortal Kombat I feel like I should clarify I mean properly killed not the kind where you get your spine ripped out and then walk it off but if you think a little thing like death is going to stop a subzero from appearing in every single Mortal Kombat game then think again his younger brother Kwai Liang took up the mantle in Mortal Kombat 2 but in MK 3 he got a makeover including a bright red eye scar and an outfit that looks like the sexy Halloween version of his original one the best bit about the ice car is that it differentiates one sub-zero from the other even when they're wearing a face mask clever as for how he got the scar Shaolin monks on ps2 reveals that after you beat him at the end of a huge boss fight Kung Lao slashes him across the face with his bladed hat he's about to lose his head entirely when it's revealed that he's not the original Sub Zero Sub Zero is dead he died after the Mortal Kombat tournament Raiden told us scorpion killed him so who are you could we not have had this conversation before the massive fight the man you saw died was my brother and I am not even certain he is truly dead I came here to avenge him and believe that he may still yet live in one form or another I don't know sub-zero maybe you should just let it go let me guess you've got a better solution what is it then now that would be telling you only need to look at the face of Assassin's Creed modern-day hero Desmond Miles to know that his ancestors play an important role in his life that's because Desmond shares the exact same scar on his lip as his ancestors altai year and Ezio and as we all know scars are genetic and passed down through a person's DNA sorry I'm just hearing that that's not how scars work at all from me no one's telling me that so there's another Assassin's Creed mystery to add to the pile it will be done we know Ezio got his scar after someone threw a rock in his face for saying you've got sister your sister seemed quite satisfied with the handling I gave her earlier what's it get ca but he's the only one we see get their scar the others are a mystery so what's the explanation secret assassin ritual precursor magic absent-minded art team I'm going with the latter as they forgot to include the scar entirely in Assassin's Creed Revelations keep them like this for a few days maybe a week call ahead tell them we're on our way so what have we learned yes it's obvious why Street Fighter boss Sagat is such a grumpy dick it's written all over his chest and a bit on his eye sagat's huge chest scar in particular was dished out during the final boss fight in Street Fighter 1 with Ryu and is a constant reminder of his embarrassing defeat oh he even talks to it sometimes you're gonna tell him that's weird because I'm not in street fighters convoluted and heavily retcon backstory it's really special Metsu version of the shoryuken dragon punch that creates the diagonal burn mark across the GATS torso the gat has been driven by the power of hatred ever since possibly based on him miss remembering the path to the dark side err close enough your lightsabers in the post speaking of embarrassing failures from the past fable to gives your hero a growing collection of scars to helpfully illustrate just how much you've failed it he rowing every time you get beat down and knocked out in Fable 2 you revive with a fetching new mark to commemorate your miserable defeat and there's no way of getting rid of them so you can always be sure of an accurate record of your failures and possibly of completing the game with a frankenstein-looking hero of Bower stone kill her and the bounty our or you could always go back and reload from before you got your ass kicked heroism those were the videogame skies that tell
