if you lost a limb would they lose feeling in that limb?
Okay, this I thought a lot about given that I had to decide if Shess would 'lose' a limb now that Bucky's lost one. I settled on the idea that they might feel the pain but the daemon her/himself wouldn't lose the function of their own limb. If you were born blind or born without a limb than it would make sense to me that your daemon would have the same condition. But if you lost a limb as an adult, you most likely still have a sense of self as a person who has all their limbs. Kind of like how a person feels a phantom limb, their daemon reflects all the parts they began with.
I love jamming about this stuff so it's less me being patient and just giving into my HUGE FANNISH GLEE.
