Scars/Identifying Marks
*- GAINED IN HOUSE: He has some rather nasty burn scars! The most obvious are a patch that runs down the left side of his face and neck, and that the ear on that side's scarred a bit as well; it fades out to something faint around where the collar of the mantle starts covering, and fades out completely at the base of his neck where the mantle properly covers. There's also a fairly nasty burn-scar handprint where it looks like someone grabbed his left shoulder, and his right foot and ankle have burn scars about as bad as the ones on his face, if not a little worse.
*- GAINED IN HOUSE: The Mantle and his old suit are now bleached pure white. All of it. Everything.
*- There's a couple faint close-call scars that're lines on his neck where someone went for the throat and grazed; they're visible with his shirt/etc., but easy to miss, especially with the mantle's high collar.
*- He's been remarkably lucky when it comes to facial scars, but honestly, if you manage to catch him shirtless/in short sleeves/without long slacks, it gets a hell of a lot more obvious that he spent some twenty years of his life in and out of life or death fights and learned to fight the hard way. The majority of the scars are from blades, brass knuckles, and other close-in damage, though there's a few bullet scars. MOST of them don't look like they were very solid hits; enough of a gash/graze/etc. to leave scars, might've been dangerous at the time, but not a lot that look near-death-worthy.
*- There are a couple exceptions. There's a gunshot scar dead-center in his chest, right over the sternum. (Still shaking details on others out of him.)
*- The other alarming old one is some kind of impalement scar; it's about three-four inches wide in front and back, on his lower ribcage on the right side in front and back.
*- He's got five scars on his hands - most of them look like shallow/glancing knife/sword scars, and yes, they are from deflecting things away basically, although there's a line across the palm of his right hand that's a bit deeper from actually grabbing a blade. They're all from before he got the gauntlets and aren't visible with the gauntlets.
