Any markings on the skin of a character that are unusual (excluding moles, freckles, etc.), and are either:

• a natural trait of the character, possibly shared by others of their clan, race or species, or;
• of ambiguous nature. It may be unclear whether the markings are tattoos, makeup/bodypaint, tanlines, or something else.

Body markings on humans are also known as birthmarks.
