I went to the aesthetician just now because I felt like my Elezen needed to be a bit more awesome and... the only scar option for female Elezens is this weird one across the forehead. I went to character creation and where most male characters have around three scar options, females are lucky to have one.
So what the heck? It's a completely nonsensical distinction. Anyone else wish they could have bad***, battle-scarred ladies for characters? It doesn't seem like it would be hard to implement either (but then again what do I know).
Female facial scars?

Forehead scar? Hm, maybe it's an Elezen thing? The only male one I have in my squadron has a forehead scar. As for Canadane's scar, that's a Miqo'te thing since my character has access to the same one. I don't really know the characteristics of each race and gender though. I tend to see it on npcs or other players and then subsequently forget about it because it's not something I have access to anyway.

It varies face to face! Another femezan option has one across the chin, but scars of some kind are available on most faces (lalafell and au ra are out).
The problem is more that every face that can pick scars have just one or two as a facial feature.
So, maybe we could ask for some to fill the make-up slot? -

It would be nice to be able to have a vertical one across the eye.

As a femroe, I have a vertical scar over each eye, the backstory I have for them is deliberately underwhelming, the scars were caused by a dodo lashing out at her when she was a child, lol

Ew it's based on face type? That's even worse to deal with.

01-17-2018, 11:31 AMAmetrineYep. While some faces share them, scars are a part of each face choice's "facial features" category, same with moles, eye liner/shadow, and earrings for some. Au Ra are unique in that theirs is for the different scale patterns on the face, so they don't get any scar options.Quote:
