The idea behind this was based around a moment from the story of DOA5. At one point Hayate is recaptured and placed back into Project Epsilon.
What if M.I.S.T had managed to obtain enough data from Hayate to continue Project Epsilon? What if they'd manage to create a clone of him? However without 100% data capture of Hayate they had to fill in the gaps with cybernetics.
If this clone had been in the M.I.S.T labs at the same time as Phase 4, then I figured there would have been a similarity in what they were wearing. So I took some elements of Phase 4's costume and implemented them into my design. Big thanks to
@synce for being totally up for the idea and to
@Kronin for having a little look and giving their opinion.
I hope you like it
