There's a character in my Infinite Cabal campaign who has Doesn't Eat or Drink, because he isn't actually alive. He has Dependency (Mana) instead; as a pair of Cabalists who got interested in him asked: (echo effect) "Did you know you're a masterwork of higher necromancy?"

The Dependency works in a satisfactory manner; he doesn't die immediately in zero-mana areas, but slowly takes damage. He can eat and drink, but prefers not to, since he needs to get the stuff out again before it starts to rot. Since he's SM+1 and obviously formidable, but also very diplomatic, this rarely causes problems.
