...and scar gets more teal deer I'm sorry

1. Is there anything you'd like (or not like) for Sherlock to read based on observation of your character? Remember he looks for concrete details, so unless a super power has an obvious physical manifestation, it will go blissfully undetected. :)

Well, obviously there's the whole. HUGE X-SHAPED SCAR ON HIS FOREHEAD. It's paler than the surrounding tan skin, so Sherlock can probably tell it's old. It goes from his forehead to down past his eyes, and from the fact that he's clearly not blind or visually impaired, Sherlock might be able to tell it was caused deliberately and with precision.

(It was done by Kimbley, who's a...deranged alchemist who deals in explosions. He specifically blew up just the skin without damaging his eyes or skull underneath. Sherlock can deduce as much of this as you want, though he'd have to get close and that might get him punched >.>)

Other obvious physical features are the white hair and red eyes. Technically the white hair is only an ethnic trait in the manga, but based on Miles (if he ever runs into him?) he might be able to tell?? Though if asked, Scar would say the eyes are an ethnic trait among his people. He's still fairly young (26, in Anatole), but his face and eyes are much older--he's broken and haunted and tired above all. There's a gaunt look about him and his cheekbones are fairly prominent, and Sherlock can probably tell from the lines in his face and under his eyes that he's a chronic insomniac.

He usually wears a plain white shirt and a yellow-bronze-ish coat which is always left open at the front. It's fairly hardy and has seen plenty of wear and tear, but it's mostly for the purpose of covering the tattoo on his right arm. He usually keeps his hands in his pockets, but Sherlock might notice he prefers to use his left hand to interact with things, which could give the initial assumption that he's left-handed, but closer observation would show that his handling is a bit awkward, as if his left is not actually his dominant hand. He will absolutely not touch any living thing with his right hand, however, whereas he might carry something heavy with both hands.

Scar doesn't actually go out very much anymore, but it's very obvious he's uncomfortable in crowded places, and far more alert than in more sparsely populated areas, in which he seems distant and distracted and not really 'there' mentally. He's very visibly uncomfortable with touch. At the very least, he'll instantly tense up wherever touched, even if it's an accidental brush against the shoulders while walking by. Approaching from behind (i.e. tapping his shoulder) will cause him to whirl around immediately, and might get the person punched if he doesn't squash the reflex first (though he's gotten slightly better with that in Anatole).

Almost all emotion is constrained to his eyes--he's outwardly very stoic, except in the cases of extreme anger or depression, and Sherlock can trace increasing agitation through tension in Scar's jaw/neck/shoulders, traveling down to his back.

...also, he never smiles, ever. The best you get with him is a placidly vacant stare that's...pretty distant, still.
