Primarily for the protagonist, but other characters apply as well, including vehicles. Decals in the game world do not count.
For purely first person games this is for the seen weapon, and possibly hands and the rest of the body if seen (self awareness).
Note that this is mainly a visual element, but may have effect on gameplay as well. A blood drenched or utterly dirty character may draw an appropriate responses from NPCs.
More apparent cases have a way for the player to clean this up (or it automagically cleans itself over time).
