"Since we know very little about what will be possible in terms of customizing a character's appearance, this may already be an available feature for Guild Wars 2, but here are my thoughts. I think it would be a cool option if we could give our characters certain body flaws, in particular things like scars from old injuries, burns, and so on. In the original Guild Wars, for the most part every character had flawless features and skin. While there was some variation, for example a few of the necromancer or warrior facial models had scarring, an unscarred character was the norm. Not only does that limit individual character personality, but it isn't very realistic, especially for the front-line fighter professions. Even Rangers and magic users, who are constantly having confrontations with various game monsters, would very likely have old injuries to show for their efforts. In particular, I would like to stress scar options for female characters. In the original Guild Wars, the few scarred characters were all male, but considering that women characters are fighting beside the males, it should be a customization option for them as well."
