[quote=@Thundercrash] [@Stern Algorithm] Point of contention: the body's ability to feel its own movement and physical location is known as proprioception or kinesthetic sense, and is actually considered to be separate from the touch sense (though they are connected, just subtly). I'm not clear on how Vedika has managed to lose hers. [/quote] I did not know that. I was basing it off of something that had happened to me once where my leg went numb and I fell. Let's say that she knows where her limbs are, but not being able to feel through them was disorienting enough for her to lose track of them for a moment. I didn't want to just make it so Vedika couldn't feel pain anymore because that's what's known as 'cursed with awesome' where a character's 'affliction' 'just so happens' to make them stronger, a perfect way to make an edgy but overpowered self-righteous Gary Stu. Let's say that metaphysically, her 'self' has retreated too deep into her mind, abandoning her extremities to a certain extent out of fear.
