Not to say you can, cuz I habe no authority to, but your character is a mechanic with a modified suit that is just about military grade battle ready armor. I would not think that a civilian woyld be able to legally own such a suit.

How so? Just get industrial grade cables, a couple small motors, fashion a good set of brakes, add a lot of plating, etc. You could junkyard this. I never said it was uber high tech. The most advanced part is its HUD, which can be programmed and used in AR. Most of it looking sleek and having the elephantine head is aesthetic. The prototype shock absorbers are finicky. She can currently reduce broken bone falls of 25 ft to normal falls, but anything beyond that height is a crap shoot. The armor is ballistic level to stop small arms save for high caliber (.338 and above can penetrate it, so snipers can hurt her if she encounters them), but it is not explosive reactive armor or flak protection. (Bascially, metal plates. Take a look at a few shootings. The shooters used steel plates which stopped all small arms up to 7.62) So, she is far from milspec, but she put time and effort into it to make it look good and also function in combat. Later on, if she gets her hands on it, she will milspec it out, but for now it is basically a junkyard titan type of exo with one really cool HUD system she made. Now, i could reduce the HUD to not have the firearm targeting system so she has to blindfire any time she has one, but that seemed an unfair restriction on an already restricted exo.

For a point of reference, any time she took a fall from more than 25ft, I planned to roll d% to determine what happened. i also planned to roll d% each time to determine if the mechanism broke or became damaged. 1" thick steel that weighs in at 800 pounds plus another 100 ish for hydraulics and such, plus the 5/32" cables would weigh in at just under half a ton and the cables individually would hold the weight up, though she would use both at the same time to guarantee. All of that is publicly available to citizens and the steel would stop non-armor piercing rounds up to 7.62, would selectively stop armor piercing 7.62 rounds, and would slow things above that only. (On perpendicular impact of course. Glancing and angled blows are far less likely to pierce or even go through straight) [Assuming 20 sq. feet of plating and 7x19 steel rope]
