Have you ever known someone who got injured loads and seemed to be proud of it? (lemmy.world)

When I was a kid and teenager there were a couple of people who somehow managed to get broken or sprained bones over and over and over again. Some of them really seemed to like the attention associated with it and would make sure they got into school even when they could've taken loads of days off

People even do this into adult life! What are they doing that leads to so many injuries??

That is really cool, you might say that your character design has lore 😁

I had bad acne scarring that really confused me because it actually looked like someone had taken a blade to my face a long time ago, and i was a bit miffed that i didn't have a good story behind it 😮‍💨

You can always make up a story, just stick with it!

My dad had a "hunting accident" story where a bullet went through his knee in the exact same place they would put screws when someone is in traction for a broken leg. The story got better every time he told it!

I'm glad my "character design" is just that scar, though. My prescription glasses were scratched when this happened — without them I'd need to change my class from rogue to pirate! (I also got a small scar just above the lip, from the same event. But it's usually hidden by the beard.)

Gotta agree with [deleted], it's all about making some story up. Let's say you fought a jaguar in the wild! (Or a cat if you want something more believable.)
