Okay, so here's a small update. I've been sketching some ideas for Richard, but I've been making him somewhat thin (having trouble thinking of a muscular physique for him). I just checked some images of people with phocomelia, and came across a muscular young man with it, so I can picture it, now. If I do go with the character/think up storylines for him. I will admit that I may take a slight liberty, and make his arms a little bigger than what you described, just because the visual aspect would be slightly tougher to look right for me with the smaller arms. I hope that's alright. With my slight apprehension at making this storyline work, I am starting to see how I can make it possible.

On a different note, there was a woman that once worked at a local grocery store with phocomelia. She was proficient at using the cash register, despite her deformity.
