Exp 8 is a non-human protagonist. He doesn’t eat and uses his own energy as a weapon. He is also asexual and thus uses all his energy in freeing himself and his people from slavery. His willpower is preprogrammed but he finds a way to surpass his own programming and channel his will into a weapon. Exp 8 avoids conflict and fighting when he can and feels an instinctual desire to be free just like every living being.
