Sleeper's body technically belongs to the company who manufactured it. Their skin is made of soft gray synthetics, softer than human skin but more durable. their eyes are a deep yellow and their body is androgynous. Their mind is in a constant state of flux between the waking world and the planar interface they go to when they dream. Their whole existence is manufactured to be as tolerably agonizing as possible. While they technically aren't required to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe they still have too. With out those human elements they go insane. they feel like they are constantly drowning if they don't breathe, or starving if they don't eat. They go manic with sleep deprivation if they stay up for too long. Their "brain" in monitored for increasing levels of stress or chemicals induced by these signs of struggle and the sleepers body shuts itself off and wipes their consciousness, effectively killing themselves to save them from perpetual anguish. They can repurpose organics they "eat" into energy and use they air they breathe to help their artificial muscles move with pneumatics. Finally there is the company's 'Planned obsolescence'. Since the sleeper escaped the termination protocol has begun. Every day the Sleeper doesn't take a stabilizer made by the company their body begins to fail. The uploaded mind subconsciously orders the mechanical side of the body to attack the printed, biological part of the body. the Stabilizers reprogram the biological part to have a new genetic code, giving the mind another day before it begins attacking itself.
