* RacialTransformation: One such possibility with full prosthetic bodies. [[spoiler:Major Mira Killian is a Cyborg who resembles a caucasian woman in her mid-30s, but is in fact a young Japanese woman named Motoko Kusanagi whose brain was placed in a different shell against her will. The same thing happened to her best friend, who changed from a Japanese teenager into a white man]].
