It certainly does help! The character that I have in mind is pretty much an X-COM MEC trooper, which is to say a quadruple amputee who's been put into a military-grade combat exoskeleton.

For reference, http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/xcom/images/d/d2/XCOM_EW_MEC_Minigun%26KSM1.png/revision/latest?cb=20140123235521, though I'd mention that I'm not going for that exact look / style of suit. Naturally the suit will have a shared visual theme with whatever the other current military tech is.
