I was telling my German colleague about how my parents, who were living in Spain, kept having problems with eagles killing their chickens.
Me: yeah, these eagles come down out of the mountains, they steal the chickens right out of the pen!
Frank: an eagle!? AN EAGLE DOES THIS!?
Me: yes, they have eagles over there, mad isn’t it?
Frank: AN EAGLE IS STEALING THE CHICKENS?
Me: errr, yeah, they’re predators you know?
Frank: THEY ARE PREDATORS?
Me: yeah, and they fly down and kill the chickens and fly off with them
Frank: THEY FLY… wait, hang on… Oh…. I see… Err… In German, Igel is.. Errr…
(long, long pause)…
AH! IN GERMAN, EIN IGEL IS A HEDGEHOG!

If we’re on the topic of low budget armour, cardiophylax, more common in the ancient era, worked on a similar principle. Basically just a metal sheet or disc strapped to your chest to block thrusts to your lungs or heart, since your shield would catch any slashes. Though you’d really want to use a large shield or mobility as primary defences.
Here’s a replica of an Iberian (Spain + Portugal) example, though they were also used by early Roman infantry, usually the poorer Hastati, as well as Samnites and Etruscans.

Y'know, I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen Jack Chains more in fantasy tbh, like it's a really interesting and low budget armor style, I'm legit surprised I've almost never seen it in media
#also luv me the b17 diagram#the stuff they learned from it must’ve been good because there’s some insane stories of B17s staying in the air#despite how often they were shot down#those things could take a lot of punishment sometimes

So canonically the game's low poly style is what v1 actually sees because it doesn't render its surroundings in high quality to save energy or whatever.
And I'm imagining a situation in which Gabriel learns this and is like "wait, so things look totally different to you? What do you see when you look at me? Not that it's important. I'm above such concerns as how others veiw my physical form, of course"
And V1 spits out a Polaroid style picture and hands it to him and he's like
"....oh my god I look so fucking ugly "

"Are you shitting me? This is what I look like to you? I'm like five polygons oh my God I look like a doom enemy"
And he has to be consoled for ten minutes.
(to be clear I think Gabriel is very handsome and I think actually in canon Gabriel actually wouldn't really care what he looks like to V1 very much, I just find this idea hilarious)
