Love and Deepspace x Ghost in the Shell 2017 headcanon:
Project 2571.
Sylus as Hideo/Kuze.
(main character as Motoko/Major Mira Killian)
I made him wear Japanese hakama like Kuze in concept art instead of in the film.
Edit: added more parallel settings as someone asked on X:
Both LADS MC's and Mira's memories were lost/suppressed.
Aether core experiment - Project 2571 (putting human brains into mechanical bodies). Before they succeeded on Mira, Kuze was one of the failures.
Josephine - Doctor Ouelet.
Xavier - Batou.
Onychinus - Kuze's network.
We are the same. I have been born more than once. So I have more than one name. In this life, my name is... Kuze. I was conscious while they dismembered my body, and discarded me like garbage... and they had to move on... to you. They thought that we would be a part of their EVOLution. But they have created us... to EVOLve alone... beyond them.
