In The Swapper, it is revealed towards the end:

that you the player, are a clone of the Scavenger, created when she first used the Swapper device at the encouragement of the two scientist-brains.

Now for whatever reason, you were jettisoned to the planet, which is where the gameplay begins. The main character (player) is independent right from the start, as you are panicking as the escape pod is launched.

So my question is: What makes you different from the others?

If every other clone is a mindless 'chained' puppet, why are you able to act independently?

I've read all the in-game logs, I didn't notice anything that would explain this.
