Good eyes?
Aside from the usual Skill Proficiency, and Expertise gained from class, background, feats, or any other means, some people have naturally sharper senses. At character creation, and only then, you may choose to expend resources to create a character with sharper senses, in one of these two way:
You can choose to use only one of these methods, and only at character creation at level 1. You can't increase the flat bonus to your Perception above 5.

While D&D5e has a limited list of skills, please check out the RAW list of tools and kit proficiencies available for player characters, as they can be just as important as your skills. Forgery, cooking, painting, lockpicking and disarming traps, and alchemy are all proficiencies obtained by tools, and all can have importance in our games.
For example, I may require a check when your character attempts to create complex believable illusions. Being proficient in painter's or sculptor's tools (even if you don't possess them) will allow you to add your artistic proficiency bonus to the check.
