Being 6' (I think that's aprox. 2 meters) and 155lbs. (have no idea what the conversion for that is) and being built like a brick wall that could use point-tucking.
Having 20/20 vision.
Strong upper and lower body (climbing and hiking/backpacking) but almost no mid-body (anyone have any tips for fixing that?)

As there is absolutely no way for anyone to have something no one else does not, I'm going to assume you meant what makes us unique in the town or state we live in.
I live in a fairly backwards, racist, and homophobic town, and I'm the only guy I've ever seen with thick long hair. (Guy long hair. Covering most of the back of the neck and almost in my eyes.) I'm also a little feminine looking, facial wise. Long eyelashes, etc. And yet I've never been called gay, or been bullied for it back in high school. No one's even thought that about me.
I also know people who have been picked on and bullied for this same reason, so I can't explain it. There are people I know who would jump on the chance to do such a thing still, if they ever made the connection.
(Also, I am not gay. I'm bisexual.)

Well, I have a area of my skin on my right wrist that has different pigmentation from the rest of my body. In the winter it's not visible, but when I spend time in the sun it tans more quickly and becomes more dark than rest of my skin to the point that it's rather noticeable.
I believe it's called melasma.
I have these spots in several places in my body (and have had as long a I remember) but that one is most noticeable.
It somewhat resembles the map of Americas.

Er... I have a brown mark on my lower eyelid (as in, between my eyelashes and my eyeball). People notice it an average of two months after first meeting me (and then ask if I've had it checked by a doctor). The fact my boyfriend noticed it the very first time he saw me was probably a good sign!
But, to be honest, my genes probably make me more unique than physical defects ever could.

I have a little scar on my forehead but its not noticeable. I have another scar behind my left ear from an operation I had when I was 11.
A third scar on my leg was from when I was on a wooden ladder and it broke and I got a splinter in my leg, that one's quite funny cause the cut was massive but the scar is kind of tiny.
I don't know if this makes me unique but I'm also double-jointed. I can put my thumb behind my knuckle. And I can bend the top part of my finger (the bit with the nail on it) while keeping the rest of my finger straight. I didn't know that was weird until once in school I had drawn a face on my finger and was making it nod and my friends freaked out.

While in the navy, a slugging wrench fell about 3-4 stories and struck me right above the right eye. Ever since then I have had a scar on my right eyebrow. Kinda bummed about it at first, but almost everyone says it looks badass, so grew to kinda like it.
Think Scar from the Lion King, only on the other eye.

I don't really having anything worth mentioning.
I tend to heal very well, so I don't have many scars, and the scars I do have tend to fade quite quickly.
I suppose my most prominant feature is my appendectomy scar, but that's hardly unique.
I suppose something that crops up a lot is my ethnicity.
I'm white, both my genetic parents are white, yet some people think I'm asian.
Apparently, my eyes aren't caucasian enough.
There's an explanation for that, however. I smile a lot, and I laugh a lot, which happens to make eyes look very narrow.
It's one thing to be the victim of racism. It's another to be the victim of racism when you're not even the race said offender is insulting.

I have a scar that runs from just above the right temple and kinda zig zags down to my jawbone, the result of a car crash when I was a child so the scar itself isn't actually that noticeable, but fracturing my skull at such a young age changed my sleeping pattern permenantly so now I only need to sleep on average 2 hours a day but I wake feeling totally fine and refreshed, that I think makes me somewhat unique
Dyslexia and Dysgraphia i have no notes for ant of my high school or middle school classes, just thinking about the binders of notes that all my classmates needed kind of boggles my mind having done fine without them. Even College in classes half the notes are skipped the other half of my classes are hardly "notes" more like i took a picture of the projector and added a few phrases or even just lines.
It is odd being asked for your notes by people thinking it will help them study the as you hand them over they look at you like you just gave them a shot of a random movie because it is so totally not what they thought, it is this jumbled mes that only I could ever hope to read and they want this clean precise exact study guide

My mood eyes that go from green to blue
My birthmark on my upper left thigh
scars on both knees from surgeries

My left eye is half brown and half blue, while my other one is just blue. I suppose that counts. I also have a small scar on my cheek from a dogbite, which looks kinda cool.
Its not visual, but i am synethtetic, essentially I link together colours with numbers, letters and words in my head, only one in around 90 people have it but with each person its different.
Aside from that im pretty normal, im pretty tall though and i used to have red hair which for some reason naturally changed to light brown over the course of a year or so, no-one knows why.
Apart from that im fairly normal

I have a birthmark on my back that makes me look like I've had a terrible accident. I always say that a birthmark is where you got killed in a past life, I got shot with a shotgun or a cannon.
Definitely my eyes. One's green. One's blue. Both have gold rings around the pupil.
Also my hair- I've got a natural copper-red color that I've gotten quite a few compliments on.
Mm... and... as for scars, I've got a pebble that's still visible within the scar tissue on my knee. I like to pretend that's pretty hardcore. My other most noticeable scar is considerably less badass, as it's a huge burn scar I got while I was baking brownies. ...I like to think it's proof of how I'm an awesome baker. Because those brownies were still delicious, despite me ignoring them as I desperately tried to doctor up my wrist.
