About: Every Scar Has a Story   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Many times, when an author wishes to identify a certain character as a Badass, said character will be given some sort of horrific permanent disfigurement. Most of the time, the disfigurement will stay unnoticed, possibly out of respect for he that is marked, or because the story behind it is too horrible for the others to imagine. But there always exists the chance that some bystander will ask about the scar, in which case the Badass is contractually obliged to explain it. When he is, expect the story to be long-winded, fantastical, and involving at least one Crowning Moment of Awesome. In other words, a Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? moment.

Similar to Scar Survey, but can occur between any two characters (not just hero/heroine) at any time (not just after sex.)
