Personally, I used several different 'eyeliner' theories based on -who- I was RPing Otogi across from. Regular Malik got plain eyeliner because both I and Malik's player were emphasizing their egos. Makeup would get smudged during sex, and of course Otogi being meticulous about reapplying it. Incidentally I use this in the multi-verse RPG where I play in because that Otogi is more secure and really doesn't need to have daddy issues of teh angst. So he fucks around, cleans up afterwards, and has a makeup-free face with his hair loose, showing an openess not seen under all the accessories.
Yami no Bakura got the backstory of a scar hidden under makeup. But what set that apart from your aforementioned theory was that Otogi gave himself the scar in a moment of guilt and anger - attempting to mutilate himself so he was less beutiful as it were. Of course the logs to that particular RP were lost two years ago, so I'm not entirely clear about the exact details, but essentially it became Otogi's dark secret which appealed to the darker nature of Bakura. Their relationship became one of bloodplay and control, of which really beautiful artwork was inspired between Bakura's mun and myself.
You and I only played once, so I assume from that you got the favor of it being a scar. And since you gave me Yami no Malik, I gave you the most sadistic backstory I could that would appeal to your character.
