Is the experience counter card treated similar to emblems or is it in play? If it is in play, can the counters be interacted with like with proliferation or cards that eat counters off of permanents?

One card I'm referring to is Thief of Blood.
One thing that
Epochalyptik didn't mention (although his/her answer was technically correct, the best kind of correct) is that in Magic the word card has a special meaning. "Experience counter card" is not a card, you can use whatever you want to track experience counters. Tokens also are not cards, so if an effect says anything about cards, it will not consider tokens and once again you can use whatever you want to track tokens, as long as you can separate clearly between tapped and untapped.
Counters are counters and tokens are tokens, nothing else.

Ezuri, Claw of Progress for an example of a card that gives experience counters.
Players get experiences counters. Thief of Blood only interacts with permanents, so it can't remove experience counters.
Proliferate, however, affects players, so you can proliferate experience counters.
