Commander 8-Bit is a recent arrival to Praetoria and a new member of the Empire's Powers Division. While his exact origin is a mystery, his apparent devotion to the Empire and it's principles has warranted no need to investigate it further. In truth, his career with the Powers Division hides the fact he is a spy for the Resistance and one of it's key members.
Origin
Inside every cartridge and every game disc ever made, there exist inconsistencies within the game's programming. Bits of data that serve no purpose and do not appear anywhere within the game's memory. These renegade Bits are often the cause of a perfectly normal cartridge to lose all functionality, or cause a scratched game disc to function despite it's damage, it is these same Bits that will give a 20 year old cartridge left in a box in storage the ability to maintain the save file of the last person who played it beyond the supposed lifespan of it's internal battery. As technology progressed and gaming evolved, consoles grew more and more complex. Internet functionality meant these renegade clusters of Bits could now gain free access to a wide world of data. Over time, many of these clusters combined together forming Kilobits then Megabits. Eventually, this colony of Bit clusters gained a mind and a voice. All it needed, was a body...
Powers
Commander 8-Bit is able to harness the Power of the Bit, a new power source previously unknown to Primal or Praetorian Earth. On it's own, the Power of the Bit is useless, but used to fuel Bit Weaponry and it shows it's true power.
